Rising??

  Food for thought as we face a winter of cold and hunger, midst abundant wealth.

 “Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves
Pity the nation that raises not its voice
Except to praise conquerors
And acclaim the bully as hero
And aims to rule the world
By force and by torture...
Pity the nation oh pity the people
who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away...”- 

 Lawrence Ferlinghetti, poet

Rip-off.

            Well now you are expected to relax, the new Messiah Sunak is going to steady the ship. Of course he has made a few predications, "there are difficult times ahead", not for him and members of the Posh Club, he means for you and I. Difficult decisions will have to be taken, not for him of course, but certainly for you and I, difficulty is putting it mildly. Energy price is just one of the difficulties facing the ordinary people, but not by the posh mob making the decisions. What they don't broadcast is the wholesale gas prices have fallen the lowest level since June but the price stays high,

         (Dr Craig Lowrey, at data analyst Cornwall Insight (opens in new tab), explains any decline in spot prices will unlikely have a material impact. “Due to the nature of the implied hedging process, any decline in spot prices would be unlikely to have a material impact. This is because we would assume that suppliers would have hedged their consumers’ demand requirements well in advance of this winter. As such, the price of gas and electricity being consumed now is reflective of these longer-term hedges entered into by suppliers - not just the spot price.”) See the gambling casino wins again.

                         Fuel poverty kills more people than road accident, The Mirror.

         What that translates into is that Shell posted £8 billion+ in profits for the previous 13 week period, up more than double for the same period last year. Do you ever get the feeling that you are being deliberately ripped-off, big time?
           Just a thought, if you kill someone in a road accident you will pay the price, so if you kill somebody with fuel poverty, surely you should pay the price.
          While the millionaire club at Westminster decide how difficult it will for you and I, are we going to sit back and take it? Every penny of wealth created in this country is created by those ordinary people who work and those who shop. It is not created by the billionaire/millionaire parasite class. Their wealth is created by pillaging and plundering that wealth that we the ordinary people create. Let's take it all back and create a society of justice, of mutual aid and co-operation between communities, workplaces and distribution centres all freed for the exploitative and cancerous profit motive. A society that sees to the needs of all our people, not one that just sees to those who can pay. We have the numbers, we have the power, all we need is the will to bring down this stinking parasitic, exploitative system of greed.
