I find it infuriating, though I have grown to expect it, how our
political ballerinas jump on transient figures as if they were
tablets of stone. The Teresa May, “strong and stable” cabal, have
been spouting about how, under their “strong and stable” spell on
the bridge of this sinking ship, the UK is the fastest growing
economy in the developed world. They continue with this mantra even
although the latest figures puts the UK at the bottom, equal to
Italy. The latest figures put Canada at the top, followed by Germany,
then Japan, next comes France and near the bottom that mighty
capitalist juggernaut the US, then UK and Italy equal,
languishing at the bottom. But what does the truth matter, this is
the season of spewing bigger lies, the Theatre of Illusions is in
full swing, with its latest production, “The General Election”. This farce ends on the 8th. of June, but its consequences will be
felt for years to come. Will it be on with the full frontal attack on
the social fabric of our society, or will it be a rearrangement of
some of the crumbs and crusts from the table of opulence being
distributed among the so deserving poor. Which ever Messiah takes
their place on the throne of UK money machine, the capitalist
exploitation will continue, we the ordinary people will continue to
produce all the wealth in the country, and will continue to struggle
and fight for decent life, while all that wealth we produce, finds
its way into the coffers of the already obscenely wealthy and over
privileged exclusive club of our lords and masters. June the 8th. may
change the label on the package, but it is still the same old box of
lousy tricks. I for one will not be excited nor disappointed at the
result, I will predict that result now, here on this wee blog, it will be a win for capitalism.
