When will the UK wake up to what this country, collectively, has allowed to be done to it?
In the past 7 years alone, the country has:
apparently willingly, been subjected to a massive con-trick, otherwise known as Brexit, in which people were persuaded to vote for a catastrophic termination of the UK’s 46 year membership of the European Union, possibly the most successful and prosperous example of international co-operation on this planet. A non-binding, consultative-only plebiscite (held on a deliberately limited franchise) was hijacked on the basis of lies, xenophobia, and toxic scaremongering, in a campaign which saw an MP assassinated on the street by a far-right fanatic, and a narrow result in favour of Leave falsely characterised as “the will of the people” then used to railroad through a phenomenally damaging exit from the EU, in essence to placate right-wing Tory doctrine and UKIP xenophobia.
- elected with a majority of 80 seats one of the most reactionary, venal, corrupt, and incompetent Tory governments in living memory, led by an absolute disgrace of a Prime Minister who lies routinely, even to parliament and the monarch, is fundamentally corrupt in myriad ways, and to boot perpetually looks as if he has slept overnight in a skip.
- suffered the effects of the global pandemic of Covid-19 coronavirus, with UK people subject to one of the highest death rates in the world. People’s suffering was compounded by gross government incompetence, including wasting £37 billion on a useless track and trace system overseen by government cronies, and a level of corruption comprising government ministers favouring friends with PPE contracts that effectively wasted millions of pounds of public funds.
- Seen it revealed that at the height of the pandemic lockdown, government ministers, including the PM, and officials were routinely breaching lockdown restrictions by holding parties at the centre of government, with the Prime Minister again lying to parliament about the parties - and getting away with it.
- Seen the country poised on the brink of the worst cost-of-living crisis for many decades, with a chancellor proposing measures that do virtually nothing for the people most badly affected by astronomical rises in energy prices and rising inflation.
- Watched as a devastating war has been initiated in Ukraine by the virtual dictator of a kleptocratic Russian state whose oligarchs have for years been enabled to use the city of London property market- and even football clubs - to launder literally billions of pounds of money illegally appropriated from the Russian people. The process has been greased by lavish donations by various Russian oligarchs to the governing Conservative Party. That same government , where virtually every other European state has waived visa requirements for Ukrainian people fleeing Putin’s terror, has maintained bureaucratic visa requirements for refugees from Ukraine and put in place a half-hearted, token scheme allegedly helping British people to house Ukrainians in their homes.
just look at it. Look at the whole, disgusting, topsy-turvy mess. How the bloody hell did we get here? Why do we let it continue? For pity’s sake, can’t we DO something?
