I am the reason your vote means so little today. I broke down our nation’s great infrastructure and placed it into the hands of a wealthy few; many of whom have never stepped foot anywhere near where their investment sits. This handful of people do not fear your government nor you as I’ve given them full control of your future. Your life is now and forever free to exploit by these few people whose names you’ll never know and their profits will always be safely hidden away from benefiting you in anyway.
We will refuse gifts and donations from businesses that have a vested interest in destroying our society and close the tax loopholes we have made available to them. We shall put an end to exploitation through essential living needs by renationalising our utilities, transportation, postal services and health care. We shall start building homes and stop the entitlement of large property portfolios being passed on to the next generation. We will abolish the Monarchy and bring opportunities to all citizens by breaking up unjustifiable class divisions.
Thatcher; a person who broke the progress of our past and destroyed our hope of a better future has been honoured with statues and praised by our prime minister; a man with enough cash to house every homeless person on our freezing streets this winter but believes taking away their tents would be more beneficial. This party has melted down all our infrastructure and placed it into the hands of a wealthy few; some of which have never stepped foot in the country they are exploiting. Sadly it has now reached the point where our healthcare is nearly nonexistent and instead of treating the sick they are being forced into labour to increase the wealth of the very same people who benefit from the hardships of us all.
Come sixth of May millions of us will be wrapped up in flags, glued to TV sets and feeling a sense of pride towards the monarchy, the question is where is the real patriotism towards our nation? Does this new figurehead really represent who we are today? Is worshiping this person and their family really what we want handed down to our children? Loving our country is not loving a crown, monument or individual. It is loving our neighbours; the people we share this land with. If we put half as much energy into helping each other rather than obsessing with such nonsense just imagine how much stronger we could become. Perhaps we could start by asking the person next door their name instead of worrying about what Harry will be wearing at the coronation.
Non-dom status, companies set up offshore and assets kept in trusts are only a few of the tax loopholes available to the rich yet the Tory tax dodgers and their beloved “Daily Mail”(an offshore entity set up in Bermuda) still like nothing more than having a good rant about how the disabled and those working for poverty wages are the problem. The actual problem couldn’t be anymore obvious as the facts are being waved in our faces so when will we take action.
Is this constant political battle really worth our time? Over the years Capitalism has shot up all wealth and therefore power into the hands of so few yet we the people have made no major changes to the way we are governed. Make no mistake, corruption has always played it’s part in our government, they have just gotten better at hiding it from us in the modern world; away from cameras, out of files, no legal names, it’s also hard to prove when a favour really is just a favour. So what do we do now? The few who hold any power at all are clearly not using it to benefit the people, our lives are instead exploited to breaking points and our children’s futures taken before they even have a chance to make a decision for themselves. The big question is when does this end? When will enough of us break out of this artificial box we are kept in to actually make a change? When will enough of us unite? Use our own minds? and help each other out of this system that has us believe food, clean water and shelter are not an absolute right for us all. We cannot change a system from within the system itself we must stand up and say no together.
So the same government that practically shut the country down for two years and drove the people mad till they had four magic injections are now not too bothered that people having heart attacks are waiting hours for an ambulance. When will the people turn off their propaganda boxes and think with the brain they were born with? We are nothing but statistics in a complex system to our governments and employers, not a big loving family working together. If we can not think and live freely as individuals we are already dead. Who is to tell any of us when and when not to work for a poverty wage, take a odd injection or pay for a TV licence to allow us to believe this nonsense. Perhaps it’s time we all took a breath and asked ourselves if this is the best we can do.
As we see another year come to an end we try to keep our thoughts positive for the New Year ahead. The past year saw living conditions crumble and crushed the dreams for many. Our “strong and stable government” had little or no stability at all and all that “levelled up” were the pockets of the billionaires who continue to profit from our misery. The magic money tree remains a dream for key workers and children yet open for banks as usual, the elderly shivering from the cold has been tolerated to allow for the record profits of energy companies. Homelessness, hospital waiting times and inflation have shot up while wages have dropped for 12 years. Sadly our government still has the audacity to blame people using food banks for our problems and uses their media to turn us against one another. Will things change this year? Perhaps we need more action and less prayer.
There is no stronger force than the people, but just how many of us have stopped to take a breath from this hamster wheel we are all on? How many have so much as dared to think about it? We are busy shouting “we need to eat”; “we have to pay our rent” and “have to survive”, sadly that is your trap. The cage door is locked right outside your wheel, had you stepped off there wouldn’t be much time before the little stability you had started to vanish. However, what if we all stepped off that wheel together? supported each other off instead of watching others fall and fail? shared our time helping one another to stand without their wheels? instead of giving all the hours of our day to the ones who exploit us all? We must disconnect our time from the nonsense and reconnect with each other in order to slowly regain our power as a people.
