Capitalist Success, The Growth Of Fatcats.

      Everybody that is in touch with the ordinary people of this country is fully aware that the financial Mafia's policy of "austerity", under the stewardship of the Oxbridge millionaire duo, of Cameron and Osbourne, has returned the living conditions of some of our people back to the Victorian era. The tactics used have been varied, from bedroom tax, to slave labour workfare, from cuts in welfare benefits, disability allowance, etc. to zero hours contracts. Wages have been depressed for more than 5 years, while energy prices have taken off like a series of Soyuz rockets.

      Despite this actual scenario of poverty, the coming Crooks and Liars competition, known as the general election, is pushing the babbling brook of bullshit, the mainstream media, to spew out an ever increasing flow of its main ingredient, bullshit. According to reports from the mouths of Oxbridge millionaire puppets, we are blessed with capitalist success. Everybody is working, everybody is better off, we have the best economic growth in Europe, so run out and vote for the best Crooks and Liars, the Tories, and get more of the same.

      How do we square this with the recent report from NASUWT, teaching union, which states that it is witnessing kids in "Victorian conditions"? According to the report based on a survey of 2,452 teachers, kids are turning up at school hungry, tired and wearing inappropriate clothes due to a continuing squeeze on family finances. It states that some kids are arriving at school with no socks, no coat, and is also aware of more families depending on food banks. It also draws attention to the fact that many children are being degraded and damaged by poverty and homelessness.

     Some other findings from the report are, almost seven in 10 (69%) of teachers said they have seen pupils coming to school hungry, while eight in 10 (80%) have witnessed youngsters turning up in clothes that are inappropriate for the weather with a similar proportions reported children arriving in unwashed or damaged and frayed clothing, a further three in four (78%) said they have seen pupils without appropriate footwear. The survey also said that it had noted "Pupils who come into school unwell. Often their parents cannot afford to take a day off work, and therefore send their children to school when they ought to be at home."

     This is the true picture of capitalist success, the growth of wealth, but no account of how that wealth is spread. Yes, more people are working, but poorer, yes, the wealth of the country is growing, but we the people don't get a share. Balance sheets that take no account of the well being of the ordinary people, everything is measured in profit and loss to the corporate world.

      Why do we go through with this charade of democracy, playing the parasites' game of the Crooks and Liars competition, and electing another bunch of self seeking careerists, who will continue the plundering of the public purse and appeasing the corporate world at the expense of the well being of us, who create all that wealth?

Robbed By A Rich Gang.

       Most people are carrying on as if everything will be fine, SOON, it is just a matter of tightening our belts a little. Closing their eyes to the fact that they are being deliberately robbed by a very rich gang. A gang that has no intention of easing off, in their pursuit of plunder. You cannot expect a robber to stop robbing you, because he thinks you might be suffering because of him. That babbling brook of bullshit, the mainstream media, weaves the illusion that it just those lazy, feckless, unemployed layabouts that are being hit, even although you know yourself, that your own situation is getting worse. But it's the crisis, you mutter, what crisis? The only crisis is the fact that a lot of members of the financial Mafia, lost lots of money, greedily pursuing their gambling addiction. Having lost, they now put the squeeze on you and I to make up that loss.

     We have to be stripped of all those social structures that we won over decades of long bitter struggles, in many cases, paid for in blood, prison, and death. All our public assets have to be sold at bargain basement prices, to their wealth corporate friends.

      Surely we can't accept being driven back to beyond the deprivation of the Victorian era. Surely you don't believe that those puppets and obedient servants of the financial Mafia, the government, will reverse this trend, some time SOON? Whatever standard of living you enjoyed just a few years ago was never gifted to you, your forefathers had to fight tooth and nail to get to that position. Do you think this time will be different, do you think our lords and masters, the financial mafia, will start to raise your living standards just out of compassion!!

      Accept that this is class war, and at the moment they are winning, and are not likely to just surrender their bounty. They will bleed you to death in the pursuit of profit to their shareholders. We produce every penny worth of wealth on this planet, it all belongs to us, we could share it fairly among our own people, but only if we win the class war. Without us they are nothing, yet they hold sway over our lives, to our detriment and their benefit. They need us, we don't need them.

POVERTY WAGES - GOOD FOR BUSINESS.

      Here we are in the 21 century, living in one of the wealthiest countries in the world and we have charities handing out food parcels. According to the Citizens Advice Scotland, around 3,000 people have been given food parcels from The Trussell Trust since April this year. The Trussell Trust operates 6 food banks in Scotland but is scheduled to open more by the end of the year. Its busiest food bank is Dundee where they have handed out 1,188 food parcels between April and September this year. Approximately 50% of those seeking food parcels claim problems with their benefits. What is even more criminal is that almost 50% of food parcels go to those who are working. With food prices having risen by 30.5% over the last five years and massive increases in energy bills on top of wage freezes/cuts, it is no wonder that more and more working people are turning to charity to survive.

      Another feature of this capitalist system is the number of people in Scotland that live in what is called fuel poverty. Fuel poverty is when you have to spend 10% or more of your income on fuel, and here in Scotland we have 35% of the population living under those conditions. The figure is set to rise as another increase in fuel prices are set to hit the poorest hardest. Just another indictment against a system of greed.

     Because of the deliberate policies of our millionaire lords and masters, who frequent the Westminster Houses of Hypocrisy and Corruption, we are rapidly heading back to the Victorian era of poverty in the midst of opulence. Our Westminster millionaire cabal are happily and arrogantly creating a society that is based on a low wage economy, where the ever increasing poor can beg or rely on charitable institutions. A low wage economy relies on a pool of desperate people eager for any kind of work as long as it gives them an extra crust. As far as our millionaire cabal of parasites are concerned, cheap labour is good for their millionaire business buddies.

      We have to ask ourselves, is this what we want for our children and our grandchildren? Is there an alternative? The parasitical political class will tell you that it is the only game in town, and all this sacrifice will bring you pie in the sky in the future. Lost generation after lost generation, waiting for that piece of pie from the sky, while the bloated parasites get ever richer and richer. This is all that this system has to offer.

       We want a better world for our children and our grandchildren and we know there is an alternative to this greed driven unjust, unequal, exploitative system. We can create a system that is based on sustainability, that brings our communities together in co-operation and mutual aid, we can create a society that sees to the needs of all our people, we know that there are enough resources to meet these desires. All that is lacking is the will of the people, the desire to take control of our own lives and our communities. The longer we delay the deeper we sink into the capitalist pit of deprivation and the harder it will be to dig ourselves out.

THE POOR ACT 2012!!!

       The poor have always been with us, after all we know that capitalism can't solve the problem of poverty, it doesn't function with that aim in mind. All that happens under capitalism is the the levels of poverty vary from decade to decade. Under capitalism the people have no control how the wealth they create is distributed, the system demands the wealth is always syphoned upwards to the few parasites at the top. The poverty level is like the tide it rise and falls and the policies of those who manage the system for their corporate bosses, can have a direct effect on that poverty. The policies being implemented today are sending millions into poverty and there is the cry from some that we are heading back to the 30's. I have always maintained that the present policies being implemented today by this millionaire cabal at the Westminster Houses of Hypocrisy and Corruption, are not, as some proclaim, returning us to the hungry 30's, but are returning us to the Victorian era. Back to the days of the workhouses, a time when the poor relied on charities and were graded according to “deserving poor” and “undeserving poor”. The “deserving poor” if they were lucky, were given a pittance, for which they had to show extreme gratitude, the “undeserving poor” were to be punished in some way or other until they showed remorse for the errors of their ways.

If only those bloody undeserving poor worked as hard as me.

Think Left has a very good article on this particular line of thought comparing the Poor Act of 1834 with the Workfare 2012.

DIAMONDS AND DEPRIVATION??

         An item of news that might not catch the eye of those at the receiving end of the financial Mafia’s drive for austerity cuts, I'm referring to the coming sale of the Sundrop yellow diamond. This is quite a pretty piece of shiny stuff, kinda like yellow glass. This piece of carbon rock that was dug out off the ground, might not be your thing or mine, but, it is expected to go in the auction for somewhere around £7 million. So as you and your friends sit around discussing the hardships being inflicted on you, don't for one moment think we are all in this together. The hardship is for you and I, the fat-richcats, responsible for devising these austerity cuts, have no intention of including themselves. They and their millionaire friends will be at the diamond auction, throwing in a bid or two for that Sundrop yellow diamond. After all, what is £7 million here or there for such a lovely piece of rock.

Times are hard, I had to drop out of the Sundrop diamond auction.

      Wages cut/frozen, pensions cut, education decimated, health care privatised, libraries closed, social benefits slashed, uneployment rising, the very fabric of what little social justice we have won, being viciously removed, and Victorian poverty the only future our kids are being offered. That's the deal, you sink in the shit, and those who created this mess and pass the legislation to ensure your poverty and the protection of their wealth, flutter around the diamond markets of the world nodding a million bid here and a million bid there.

       I see this diamond auction as a graphic display of all that is wrong in this corrupt and exploitive system. The few throw millions at trinkets, while the millions struggle to live a half decent life, and in most cases, fail miserable. Their failure is not down to their lack of ability, but directly linked to the grasping greed of those in control of this stinking system, the ones who throw the millions at glossy trinkets.
