Here in the UK, millions are facing dramatic hikes in their mortgage payments, due to the ever increasing interest rates, and landlords are increasing rents. Millions of ordinary people here are also being hit with an unbearable 18.3% inflation rate in basic food prices, while trying to manage astronomical energy prices. Poverty is rampant with little hope of it easing any time soon. Meanwhile we have the wealthy and privileged telling us to "hold our nerve", while other wealth parasites are urging the Bank of England to increase interest rates to bring about a recession to bring down inflation, and to hell with the effects a recession would have on the lives of the ordinary people of this country.
Instead of listening to these wealth, pampered parasites, with their own self seeking agendas, we should perhaps reflect on the date. July 14th. back in 1789 on July 14th. the poor and the marginalised of France decided that they could no longer put up with the injustice of poverty in the midst of obscene wealth. Their anger took them on to the streets and in Paris they stormed the Bastille. This marked the start of the French revolution. We don't have to repeat the results of the French revolution, which, in fact ushered in capitalism as a dominant force. We could however change society for the better of all, but only if we direct our anger and disgust at the repeating injustice of the present system and are are determined to bring an end to this gross injustice that shackles millions to poverty in the midst of obscene opulence.
