Our totally unrepresentative government, it rules
over us with only 36.8% of the vote, has some nasty pieces of
legislation it aims to push down our throats, like it or not.
On
Privacy, Teresa May wants more powers for the government to snoop on
us. The
snoopers charter is being dusted up for re-issue. The right to strike
is high on their agenda, to appease their financial masters and
corporate buddies, they want that right to be considerably curtailed.
However,
the legislation they are introducing would make their own election
illegal, as they didn't have sufficient mandate to carry out their
legislation!!
The right
to independent thought and speech. Fuehrer Cameron has stated,
“For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society,---” so they plan to target people who believe in certain values and they
will make it impossible for “extremists” to succeed. I wonder
whose definition of “extremist” they will use? There will be a
renewed attack on the young and poor, as it plans a £12 billion cut
in welfare, one of the proposals is to scrap job seekers allowance
for 18-21 year olds, replacing it with a six month allowance. There
is also a proposal to scrap the right of those under 21 to claim
housing benefit. To show their human credentials, Teresa may has
suggested that those who risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean,
should be sent back. As always, true to form, the last thing they
want you to know is what they get up to behind closed doors. So the
Freedom of Information Act, will be amended to make it easier for the
government to block information from being made public. Open and
transparent government?? Of course one of the things that has long
riled them,
and their corporate robber buddies, is the protection the ordinary
citizen gets from the Human Rights Act, so that is to be scrapped. And just to show their compassion, a
gift to be given to their “huntin' an' shootin' fraternity, is that
the will scrap the fox hunting ban, allowing their millionaire
friends to tally-ho across the countryside with their dogs, ripping
foxes to pieces.
This is the
power you get with 36.8% of the vote, there is something rotten at
the heart of Britain.
Of course it doesn't have to be like this, we have the power, the ability and the imagination, to transform our society in to a just and fair federation of communities, based on mutual aid, co-operation, and the needs of all our people.
