UK Nazis.

         I'm not one for taking sides in the various imperialist machinations to gain, sustain or enhance their particular power scope, in my book, they are all tarred with the same brush. However, we are lead to believe, by our media, that this latest Russia/Ukraine/Western stew that is brewing just popped up suddenly in the last few months, all due to nasty Russia's aggression. What we are not told is that the Western imperialists have been poking their devious fingers in Ukraine for quite a while, including the UK.. One event denied by the UK, was a meeting by UK military commanders with Ukraine National Guard, September 2021, discussing training. Among those in the Ukrainian National Guard is the infamous Nazi group, Azos, reported to have a thousand members.
          Of course here in the UK establishment we have always had our Nazi sympathisers. Before World War 2, we had certain members of the Royal family enjoying themselves with Hitler and his cronies. We also have had Nazi sympathisers walking the marble corridors of our Westminster Houses of Hypocrisy and Corruption, So this latest little chummy get together with the UK military and Nazi sympathisers should not surprise us, nor should the fact the the UK MOD deny the meeting took place and no record available shows any such meeting, our secret society. However photographs are worth a thousand words.

Continuous Imperialist Intervention.

         The UK imperialist state's  new adventure in Iraq is added to a long catalogue of foreign interventions by both the US and the UK. Both nations talk of peace since the end of the second world war, but in fact it has been 69 years of continuous wars by both imperialist powers. Their military reach has touched a vast number of nations on the planet, killing countless thousands, probably millions. 

 UK imperialist troops in Kenya.

       They both wear the cloak of peace, while brandishing the imperial sword.

 US imperialist troops in the Philippines. 

      The US military has intervened in more than 70 nations, while the UK is not far behind. Together they have certainly invaded and intervened in more countries than any other nation on the planet. Yet they still masquerade as peaceful nations.

    With this brutal record of intervening militarily in the internal affairs of so many countries, how can they still hold onto the illusion of being peaceful nations?

AFGHANISTAN -- WHY???

        The cost of the war without a reason raging in Afghanistan has and is costing the UK dear. Not only is it draining the public purse at a time when our cabal of millionaires in the cabinet are slashing viciously at all our social services, but even more seriously, it is costing the lives and future of thousands of our young people. Leaving aside the massive slaughter of Afghans on their own soil by foreign troops they never asked to enter their country, the figures for the UK suffering is unacceptable. Along side the 382 UK deaths since the start of this tragedy there is the wounded. 

Centrally available records show that: For the period 1 January 2006 to 15September 2011:

       1,792 UK military and civilian personnel were admitted to UK Field Hospitals and categorised        as wounded in Action.

3,440 UK military and civilian personnel were admitted to UK Field Hospitals for disease or non-battle injuries.

       256 UK personnel were categorised as Very Seriously Injured from all causes excluding disease.

       268 UK personnel were categorised as Seriously Injured from all causes excluding disease.

      Then of course there are those who have suffered trauma and will struggle with mental heath problems, probably for the rest of their lives, causing more suffering and anguish for their friends and families and so the misery spreads. WHY. 

Don't you know, wars create jobs.

       Ask any of our pampered politicians why we are there and each one will give a different reason. They'll have to give some reason, for them to admit that they don't know would not go down too well with their bosses. I'm sure any man or woman on the street would most certainly find it hard to come up with a reason and no doubt each reason would differ from the other. The truth is this war defies reason. I'm sure somewhere deep in the dark corridors of corrupt power there will be a handful of millionaires who know the reason for this ten years and counting slaughter and destruction. Somewhere there will be a benefit to some corporate body, perhaps the arms industry, they must be making a mint from the death and destruction. Perhaps it will be the Western corporate mining sector, rubbing their sweaty hands thinking of all that mineral buried under the mountains of Afghanistan and all that cheap labour in a country with no infrastructure. The corporate world feeds on the blood of the people, slaughter in Iraq, all that shiny black oil, Libya, more of the black stuff. The potential wealth for the corporate world from all those precious minerals waiting to be exploited by the wealthy and powerful Western mining sector will gladden the heart of many of those on any Stock exchange.

UK's BOY SOLDIERS??

       

       Here in the so called “Developed West” our oligarch owned pro-establishment mainstream media, will spout off about the “boy soldiers” being used in some “developing” nations. They scream, horror, crime against humanity, and so it is. However they are rather quiet on the UK's boy soldiers. Recent figures show that in the last 5 years or so the number of boys aged 16 being recruited in to the UK army has grown considerably. The Ministry of Defence, (or should that be of War?) has released figures that show that last year 1,400, 16-year-old's were recruited into the army. This amounts to 17.4% of all of all new recruits, up from 12.7% last year. The Ministry of Defence, (that euphemism again,) has admitted that under 18-year-old's have been sent into combat areas since 2007, also 15, 17-year-old's were sent to Iraq between 2003 and 2005, and that 36 teenage UK soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. How many have been injured and miamed for life, how many will suffer mental health problems because of their eperiences?

         Of course they will say that those poor boy soldiers in Africa etc. were abducted, forced, coerced into the army, while our brave young lads volunteered. Can it truly be called volunteering when you are faced with no further education options, unemployment or at best some crap low paid job. Then along comes a smiling recruiting team who offer you training, education, a trade, travel, a wage, plus accommodation? It seems a good option, because you are not told the truth, once you sign on the dotted line you your travel consists of a trip to Afghanistan, Iraq or some other imperialist resource grab, laying your life on the line for some corporate body who will make billions from your efforts.

      These are kids, just out of school and in most cases from the most disadvantaged backgrounds. You don't see many 16-year-old's from the well-heeled brigade volunteering for the army, oh no, their kids are destined for university and a well paid job with a house in the leafy suburbs.

     This is just one of the many injustices that pass as fair and just in this corrupt capitalist system. What civilised society would allow its kids to leave school at 16, be handed a weapon then trained to kill? What's more, the hypocritical stance, that they are volunteering. Ill informed, mislead, and desperate, kids cannot make an informed choice, they are being used.
