Glasgow Climate Emergency Protest, 2019.

        Yesterday, Friday 20th. across the world people took to the streets in their millions, with one voice, "Stop The Destruction Of The Planet", Glasgow was no exception. I have always considered that the climate emergency call was necessary and urgent, their righteous anger too subdued and their target was wrong, they were aiming their anger at governments, asking them to legislate to make capitalism "green". Capitalism is the real reason the planet is burning and it is that system that has to be attacked and destroyed. What was encouraging, at least with the Glasgow protest, is the fact that, that message has started to appear in a greater number of banners and leaflets. The message is getting home, capitalism in conjunction with governments are the fire-raisers, and the reason the planet is burning.

SPACESHIP EARTH

HAS NO ESCAPE CAPSULE.

 

           The earth is burning, and we know who is responsible for this disaster, but it is pointless to ask the fire-raisers to be more careful with their matches. They live for and by their fire-raising activities, and gain immensely from their actions with their matches. It allows them to sail in multi-million pound yachts, buy tropical islands for their own selfish pleasure and gives them tremendous power over the rest of us, not something they will give up without a fight.

        Capitalism and states work hand in hand at this fire-raising, apart from the industrial pollution, they spawn wars, a major cause of world pollution and therefore climate change. So we have to attack the root cause of this human disaster. Appealing to them to modify their behaviour, may result in smaller fires here and there, but the earth will still burn, their ethos is continuous growth, an impossibility.

        Green capitalism is still going to extract ever more resources from the finite supply on earth, it will not end wars, leading to eventual environmental disaster of one sort or another. It is only the destruction of capitalism that we may stop this impending disaster

Photos, Rally And Protest, Glasgow George Square.,

Saturday June 1st. saw a considerable crowd gather in George Square, Glasgow to protest against the bedroom tax. 

There were the usual colourful banners, placards, t-shirts and an abundance of literature. 

However, the anger was not just at the bedroom tax but also at the callous and vindictive treatment by ATOS of people receiving disability allowance. 

The general feeling among the crowd was one of anger and determination, more so than more recent protests.

 Three strands of anger seem to be coming together, the just anger against the bedroom tax, the righteous anger against the ATOS brutality, and the moral anger against workfare, forcing people to work for multinational corporations and receive no wages. 

This three pronged attack is being seen for what it is, an attack on the living standards of the ordinary people, right across the board.

Perhaps I'm being optimistic in feeling that what we are hearing is the murmur of the poor becoming a might roar, We can but hope.

The Murmur Of The Poor.

Brokers, Earls and Dukes,

callous, mercenary, pirate crew

gasconading through the land

bloated, pampered, privileged few.

Striding with selfish arrogance

plundering as you go

grasping at the fruits

the common people sow.

Take heed, you swaggering fat cats

in our world you don't belong,

that murmur you hear is the poor

rehearsing an angry song.

The day is fast approaching

when our chorus loud you'll hear

then all your greed and treachery

will surely cost you dear.

A price you'll pay for being blind

to the hungry at your door,

Oh, haste the day our angry chorus

becomes a mighty roar.
