With thanks to Azra Dale’s analysis of Britain’s current mess:
I could not be more disinterested in the political squabbles among the Tories! They are puppets and are only fit to be folded up and shoved into a packing case, as all children's toys are when adulthood looms.
We Brits have to stop imagining that Parliamentarians are in power.
They simply are not.
Let's talk about disempowering the Crown Corporation and their Temple Bar. Let's tell the British people that we live in a demockery which is nothing more than a very thin, almost shredded veil covering the dominating foreign agency we know as the City of London.
This war on Russia and China is THEIR baby, not ours.
Time to toss the truth into the face of the public.
Britain has no leadership because it NEVER HAS HAD.
It is just super obvious now.
WHY SHOULD WE VOTE EVER AGAIN?
The most disturbing aspect of T russ is she did what she did with complete, bloody confidence. No hesitation, no "I'm considering..." No. Straight to massive cuts for the rich, and under the guise of helping the struggling. And it's happening everywhere: not only are we being royally screwed, we are considered too stupid to even notice - much less even bleat a little about it !!!
What I find amusing about all the insanity/meltdown we're now witnessing is that, whenever I speak 'the truth' (I know 'the truth' is subjective, hence written in quotation marks) peeps always say ' well, what the fuck would you do to sort the mess out then'? As if that's difficult to answer hey? First, get the hell out of the Ukrainian/Russian conflict. This would stop BILLIONS of taxpayers money being UTTERLY wasted and could be used to help people with the manufactured 'energy crisis'. The completely pointless 'sanctions' against Russia would be scrapped and in doing so, energy costs would be automatically reduced as WE would then receive Russian oil, gas, crops etc. Second, ACCEPT where we are as a society and be HONEST about it. We have created a society utterly dependent on fossil fuels; as environmentally bad as that has been/is, we need time to change our ways and create NEW forms of energy. So, let oil companies maximise the search+extraction of oil for at least another 10 years and RESPONSIBLY manage those stocks for FOOD PRODUCTION, HEATING, ELECTRICITY, PERSONAL USE FOR WORK TRAVEL ETC. And then, in the meantime, set top scientists/industry to work on planning, creating and building the safest/environmentally friendly/possible nuclear power stations. Where will the money come from? Put this to a public vote and openly lay bare the reality of the end of oil and the need for human survival to find a new/sustainable/long-term alternative. How about everyone puts £1 towards the plans? That would be £70 million or so to get started with! This would not entail purposely killing off millions/maybe billions of innocent humans worldwide. Instead, it would massively reduce living costs and provide a viable long-term source of energy for people after the oil has run out. And then, even with nuclear power stations working, keep investing in new forms of energy that do the minimum harm to people+environment and keep evolving as a species? Accept that to maintain our survival+way of life, we have to do this and prioritise a long-term/safe form of energy; oil has had it's day in the long-term. And for those elected by the people to do this work, they have a subsistence income; enough for their needs (food, housing, clothing etc) and NO MORE. Purpose, NOT profit for our leaders? I mean imagine how much money this would save for better uses if ALL the MP's gave up their £80.000+salaries+expenses+protected pensions etc and instead had a salary that simply gave them an ability to live whilst following a path of purpose. I'd be up for that. I'm not economics trained or politically motivated; it seems pretty simple to me though. Of course, AUTHENTICITY is the key, NOT personal gain/profit. And no, this would not be easy; but is what is now unfolding easy? Alas, free thinkers often fall on deaf ears. Keep on with your mission Frances.
