The True Meaning Of The Word Evil?

What is the true meaning of the word EVIL?

Simple:

Political policy that attacks the vulnerable, putting money and the need for profit before the services a decent society maintains for the comfort and protection of human beings.

Political policy that puts capitalism before compassion, and personal and individual wealth before charity.

Political policy that bases the provision of public services: health, welfare, education, safety, housing, pensions, protection of the disabled, elderly, children and those subjected to violence, the mentally ill and infirm; upon the profitability of doing so!

Political policy that creates a health care service whose principle goal is that of maximising profit from the provision of essential maternity care and life saving medical treatment to the sick, the disabled, and palliative care to the terminally ill.

Political policy that holds that private provision of everything and the making of profit is the only moral and beneficial way, and sees unbridled capitalism as the god at whose feet they worship.

Political policy that ensures those who are in power and their rich benefactors along with their social class always come first, and pays the least; in return for the most.

The complete and total acquiescence of the UK’s public who don’t vote, but then whinge and whine and moan; and by doing so abdicate any right to moral outrage.

But the biggest evil of all is:

To vote for a political party which has its mantra of unbridled profit, as exemplified by its history and policies when in government;  based on the complete and total victimisation and exploitation of working people, the sick, the elderly, the young, the unemployed, women, men, children, the infirm, the disabled and the poorest in our society.

And…. …, when it comes to the welfare of fellow human beings, to simply NOT GIVE A DAMN!

Cosmetic Surgery – The Master Link In The Shackles That Control Women

We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb

John Lennon - Woman is the nigger of the world.

History shows us that all societies eventually become fearful of women, and seek to control them. That was after all, the reason for the invention of witchcraft, the demonising of women’s sexuality, and the blatant annihilation of women’s drawings, writings, inventions, discoveries, and culture from the history books.

Indeed it did not stop there, but perhaps even based within religion, the abolition of women’s influences and power in society; was deemed as coming from God himself (notice the use of the male gender)

Time was of course, when God was believed to be a woman. Evidenced by her fertility and creation of life. Her sexuality seen as something to wonder about and applaud. Until men, mesmerised by, and despising of female sexuality and power, and indeed scared shitless by it, institutionalised into their societies new religions with a male god and the demonisation of womanhood, and all she stood for.

Hence, in most religions, the construction by God, (and by man) of the male in his image, and moulded from the same ball of mud - the woman. Further, all the world’s ills came from her e.g. tempting Adam to eat the apple, or in the modern parlance, give her a good shagging; and as a result she was cursed by God with childbirth and menstruation!

But the illusion had to be maintained, and so perhaps the most blatant act of course within Christianity, was the total destruction of the character of Mary Magdalene.  Destroyed at the hands of a male dominated and misogynistic new religion forming from Judaism around the followers of Jesus Christ; cast out as a prostitute, when in reality she was probably the even more powerful woman behind the powerful man!

Born then, the modern view of women as mothers, sisters, daughters, but above all the provider of sexual favours for the man. A virgin of course, until she is chosen by a man, and then she becomes ‘a whore in the bedroom, and a saint and lady, in public.’

Her sexuality controlled by, and there for the use of men!

Before Mr & Mrs Outraged of Essex put pen to computer screen, or rather your I-pads and slag me off; take a look at your favourites rags, TV shows, and celeb gossip media. Pay due notice of the billion pound trade in pornography, sexual slavery and people trafficking, of the lap dancing clubs, the so-called massage parlours, and of the language used in relation to women now in the mainstream: bitches, hos, whores, slags, and of course the ever present term of ‘pussy’ used to refer to women and her vagina in films and on TV shows!

Above all, woman must be controlled for use of, and buying and selling of, their one valuable commodity – their bodies. Women have not only stood behind powerful men, but have also been used to make men very, very rich indeed.

Again, all this depends upon the use of control over women.

Control is required to such an extent, that when bringing up her children, the woman must ensure the male child continues with the misogyny. For the female child of course she must learn that her place is to support, promote and certainly not challenge such misogyny; and of course that the sum total of her being can be measured purely by her physical attributes. Indeed, misogyny, in the main is the single biggest influence on the female child as she grows up.

Indeed, the modern and successful misogynistic society relies upon women themselves to fully embrace the principle, for the control of women to remain fully intact from one generation to another.

For those argueing this is all crap, that education and career prospects were never so good for the female gender, answer this? Why is it that women with the highest earnings are usually found within the sex industry and that the boardrooms of major national and international companies, are devoid of women in the main?

So where is all this leading to, you may well ask and what has it to do with cosmetic surgery?

Well, in the same way as the religious story of God creating man in his own image, and later, a woman from parts of the man, i.e. his rib: Men are now trying very hard to emulate their God, by re-creating woman. But this time not in any likeness of a higher being, but purely in the shape and form of the male desires of a small and powerful few that control the media and fashion industries.

Instead of mud, their tools are guilt, fear, and the brainwashing of women, and of men within the western world. Both genders being conditioned to see a woman’s natural body as imperfect, and never able to exhibit and adhere to the misogynistic high priests of the fashion and media industry ever changing dictated paradigm of female beauty. Further, that to make the best of herself, a woman needs to address these flaws by the use of make-up, depilation, hair dyeing, cosmetic surgery and dieting.

So no longer is it acceptable for instance for women to have an adult vulva. They must ensure the pre-pubescent look, better known as the plucked chicken look. After all, female pubic hair is dirty, unhealthy and of course, as most young guys never having seen a natural woman in magazines and the internet know; a sign of a sexually transmitted disease!

Before then of course it was the feminine deodorant to keep that dirty vagina clean as it wasn’t able to do so itself. Now you must of course always wear panty liners, to ensure that fresh and odourless state! We all know that body odours, especially from the pubic area, is a sign of bad hygiene and disease!

If that’s the case, why do women not insist that men boil their penises before penetrative and oral sex I wonder? Perhaps it’s because male bits are naturally self cleansing?

Not contented with this plucked chicken look, it has suddenly been discovered (in the US of course) that the natural vagina isn’t all it’s made out to be either. Generally an ugly thing to look at, untidy and rather lob sided. So in comes that Barbie Doll vulva look – all smooth with no bumpy, raised or god forbid, hanging bits!

So now we have plastic vaginas, tightened vaginas, re-shaped labia, removed labia (for that Barbie Doll look) all ok, whilst at the same time, being a civilised society, we of course condemn female circumcision and ban it.

The only difference seems to be that one is performed on an adult as a result of peer pressure, media induced body-guilt and a money spinning fad; whilst the other is done for religious or cultural reasons. (Actually its part of the control of women mania again. Stops women from fleeting sexually from one man to the other, because they can't be trusted not to do so; apparently!)

But, and again, promoted by the porn industry in the USA, we all know that the vagina is of course not really up to giving the male member a real good seeing to! No, it is of course oral or better still anal sex that a woman who really wants to give sexual pleasure to her man, must perform. If not, then she really should be getting her inept vagina tightened up a little by visiting her local friendly cosmetic surgeon!

Whilst we may think that the western world of 2011 is the most civilised in history, and along with that arrogant delusion most women think they are empowered; all they have done in reality is acquiesced and fully bought into the demands of the fashion industry, the media and the porn industry in equal measures.

Cosmetic surgery is the final means by which male, in the main; exploitation of women is maximised; seeping as it does into every area of society and burying itself deep into the sub-conscious, as it becomes accepted as the norm!

Cosmetic surgery is nothing more than the legalised and unlicensed mutilation of women, as opposed to  plastic surgery practised by the medical profession.

Cosmetic surgery now guarantees for life it’s promoters, agents, practitioners, and the media feeding of it; complete and unadulterated control of women and therefore a pot of gold for as long as they wish to pimp women.

One thing that cosmetic surgery is not, is personal freedom and freedom of choice for, and exercised by, the female of the species!

In the so-called 21^st century civilised society of the western world, choice, when it comes to the right of a woman to control her own body, her own body image, her own sexuality, and more and more her own fertility; is a total and utter myth!

For my final words, as with the opening words, I defer to: 

John Lennon’s Woman Is The Nigger Of The World:

We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down, we pretend that she's above us

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves!

Acquiescence Replaces Apathy As Great British Way of Life

I have always been quite angry about those who sit back and do nothing about injustice to others, and frustrated by those not fighting against injustice being metered out to themselves.

I am also one of those who has no time for the attitude that to protest and demonstrate changes nothing, and that to complain is a fruitless exercise.

I have no time for people who whinge and whine and moan but do ef all about their situation, refuse to take advice and to fight back, but seek out sympathy from anyone within earshot, at home, in bus queues, in the pub, on the train, and most of all hidden away in the staff toilets at work.

The reality is that such people simply allow the bullies, the sloppy management culture, the unprincipled, the brain dead and down right lazy to get away with creating a country where the motto is "Why do it properly when you can fuck it up!"

We should check out the Latin for that and then have it emblazoned across our national flag!

But far worse than the whingeing whining and moaning whilst not fighting back against the bullies, the laziness and sloppiness of management of workplaces and services in this country; the new way of dealing with injustice in this great nation of ours has simply become the replacement of apathy with acquiescence as the British way of life!

No more exemplified is this phenomena than when it comes to political issues.

Everywhere you go you can hear the absolute silence from the voice of the people talking about the government's attack on the elderly, the poor, the unemployed, the disabled, teenagers, the sick and the working class.

I have discovered in fact, that no one actually lives in the real world of UK 2011, but instead resides in the safe world of dumbed down TV, celebrity mags, fashion, cosmetic surgery, TV soaps and idle negative gossip.

They actually reside inside a bubble of a planet called 'Fucks Biz', otherwise known as 'the land of make believe'!

Now this would be funny if it were not for the fact that some 60 million people will, at some point, be transported from Fucks Biz back into reality and suddenly be stunned into realising that their acquiescence has brought them mass unemployment, a low wage economy, food banks, privatised health care run by American and other foreign companies, no employment rights, no health & safety protection at work and subsequent higher death and injury rates, minimal education, no retirement and worst of all; a lifetime of total and abject misery unless you are rich and well connected.

Tell me now, is it worth living on the planet of make believe?

Sometimes I talk Crap

Sad to have to admit this, but I got it all wrong in my blog entitled 'Hello Cruel World Pt 2' !

In it I suggested that there would be riots in the streets once the great British people realised just what Cameron and his ConDem(ned) government have done to this country, turning it as they will into the United Kingdom of America by copying the worst of American domestic policies.

Since writing that, the NHS Bill to privatise the NHS has gone through parliament and into the Lords with hardly a whimper from the public. The media has of course remained almost silent on the issue, and what was once called a sacred cow that no government would touch; is slowly going to its death without a tear being shed by the public.

So, on that basis, I do believe that even suggesting there would be demonstrations, let alone riots, was rather ridiculous of me, and that acquiescence is now the new British way of dealing with life rather than mere apathy!

To those reading this, I do promise to do better and more informed than I have been until now!

You Get The Government You Deserve

It has suddenly dawned on me, after all these years of fighting for the rights of working people, and believing that the great British public are basically fair minded, caring, tolerant, and generous; that I have been fooling myself!

Last night, after spending 6 hours watching the Death of the NHS played out in the House Of Commons at the hands of MPs, most of whom never attended the debate, but dragged themselves from the bars to vote along party lines; I woke up to the reality of the UK in 2011.

After living through 18 years of Tory hell, the great British people have once again descended into the pit, and elected a Tory led right wing, self centred, and fascist evil government that makes Thatcher look positively socialist.

If you subscribe to the view that people get the government they deserve, then you must also accept that the government of the day reflects the society in which it is born.

Whilst it is true that the majority of MPs, irrespective of their party, no longer really put the needs of their voters before party dogma, if indeed they ever did, the fact is that knowing this, the public have voted for them none the less.

Which begs the question; on what basis have they done so?

Knowledge of the individual party’s policies, or that of the candidate perhaps? Because they agree with the policies of the party they voted into government?

Given that the majority of the electorate are politically uneducated when comparing them to their European counterpart, with most not being able to tell you who the prime minister or chancellor is, not to mention the health secretary; it clearly isn’t on the basis of what they consider is best policy for the country.

It is far more basic than that – simply what is best for me, the one, the voter, and perhaps also for my family.

Do the British voters actually care about the wider society, the elderly, the unemployed, the disabled, the young, the sick, the homeless, and the otherwise disenfranchised?

Well, after yesterday and with the inevitable passing of the Health Care Services Bill, which will destroy the NHS, I doubt the answer to that question is yes.

It is said you get the government you deserve and so my question is why if we live in a caring society, did people vote for a party known for its total contempt for the poor, the working class and the otherwise disadvantaged?

The only answer possible is that we no longer live in a country filled with people who are compassionate, caring, generous and fair minded. In other words in any way altruistic.

No, the society we have now is made up of people prepared to vote for and support a government that attacks the poor, the elderly, the disabled, the unemployed, the sick, the poor and the homeless. In short a government that in other times would have been called fascist!

Worse still one led by a party that they had previously voted to govern for 18 years from 1979 to 1997 and with full knowledge of that government’s political aims and aspirations.

If I am wrong, then were is the anger on the streets, the demonstrations, the letter campaigns signed in the millions? Given the technology we now have it could not be easier to vent our feelings and anger against unjust policies. Where are the opinion polls showing a massive lead by other parties over the Tory and Lib Dem parties?

Despite that there are without doubt a large minority of people opposed to the Governments policies, sadly mostly made up of those badly affected by such policies, and backed up by those who still hold onto what used to be the British way of defending the weak, under privileged and otherwise disenfranchised.

But sadly that is drowned out by a silence of the British people which is deafening!

With a news media reporting absolutely zilch about yesterday’s events heralding the destruction of the NHS and the dawning of an American health care system, there is little in the way of complaint as people are happy watching trivia on their TVs filling their heads with celebrity big bollocks, the shite factor, and celebrity gossip about who is shagging whom!

No, I have finally woken up and realise that the country I remember growing up in as a child of the fifties disappeared long ago, to be replaced by a country that is sinking deeper into the hell of neoliberal policies and control.

It will endure nothing short of vile evil policies regarding health care, education, employment and the gradual withdrawal of all social benefits and any form of welfare. Employment rights will vanish along with health and safety protection at work, with subsequent death rates reaching those of the USA; whilst the ability to turn to legal recompense is removed from working people.

A world of schools controlled and built by organisations and business on a for profit basis, hospitals where the rich get treatment and the poor left to wait and people denied operations. On the back of that will come massive joblessness, higher crime rates, disenchanted youth with lots of time and a sense of outrage turning to crime and riot. Soup kitchens and clothing banks will be found in every town and village.

A culture of blaming the sick and disabled and unemployed for their own lack of health and wealth, will grow even more prevalent than it is now.

Many of the big businesses that will run the private NHS, and the for-profit schools and universities will be Tory party sponsors creating a situation were over a quarter of the population will not have access to education and health care at all – a mirror of the USA that this government want us to become.

All this will go unchallenged by a political elite made up of all parties consisting of MPs who have never seen individual hardship, and have no empathy for those worse off in society. We already have such a ruling class who have this week started on the road of totally shafting every man women and child who is not from a wealthy and privileged background.

Will all that wake up the previous altruistic, caring, tolerant and fair minded English character, and see them demand the election of a decent and caring government?

I think not.

Sadly, with the abolition of the National Health Service about to become law, we have seen the destruction of a society based on the principles of a civilised, principled and altruistic nation.

God help the youth of today, the sick, the disabled, the elderly, the unemployed, the homeless and single parents; for their destination is in the hands of a country becoming ever more cold and callous and governed by a far right neo-con fascist political elite!

Sexualisation Of Children Is Synonymous With The Abdication Of Parental Responsibility

Reading the superb blog on the sexualisation of children and parental responsibility, by Shaista Gohir (http://shaistagohir.com/) has prompted me to repeat part of my blog of 20th August entitled Insane Country Part 2.

In it I questioned how parents in Britain today are abdicating their responsibility, and contributing toward the problems we seem to have with our children, and teenagers, offering the following argument:

"How many families sit as a group and eat together, discuss issues together? Too many parents leave their kids for hours in their bedrooms with their computers, mobile phones and know little of what they get up to. Many kids are literally bringing themselves up, and there is a well developed sub-culture that is dominated by media and pop imagery that, to be frank I do not feel is at all healthy. Kids, as a result have become addicted to FB, BBM, Twitter and SMS as confirmed in an OFCOM report this week.

As for parents, we have a society happy to slag off working mothers, sack pregnant women, attack maternity rights and payments. Add that to a low wage economy, and you have parents having to work all hours to make ends meet.

Sadly because of the technology, family bonding has been replaced with TVs and computers which have now become a prerequisite for every child, whilst parents don’t do anything to understand the technology they supply their kids with, simply leaving them with uncontrolled access to the internet and social network sites which exposes them to a range of potentially harmful things such as porn. This is a damn awful lack of parental responsibility.

What sort of society ends up with over 50% of kids between the age of 10 and 14 viewing porn on the internet?

Appalling!

Even the huge number of safety software out there to prevent access to such sites and offer protection when kids are on FB etc is not being used."

I stand by these words, and as any of my friends will tell you, I have been spouting out this opinion to anyone prepared to listen, in my local most Fridays!

But what really gets me is the state of a society that is quite blind, and happy being so, to the music industry and so-called beauty industry's acceptance and promoting of attitudes to which only the porn industry previously subscribed.

Popular culture is now nothing more than the pimping of the female gender, irrespective of age, for the sexual gratification of all. Women are being marketed as being nothing more than the some total of their bodies, and available as sexual objects.

Take a look at any of the pop music channels transmitting pop videos, most of which are actually soft porn. Worse still, do so remembering that this is all mainly aimed at an audience with an age group of 10 to 25 years of age.

As for the so-called 'beauty industry' not much else can be said of that either.

Now we have the age of hairless female bodies and the need for women to at least trim their pubic hair if not wax it away altogether. (Don’t use that, men are also doing it argument as an excuse!) Now women are being told that not to do so is unhygienic and a sign of bad grooming.

We also have the sickening acceptance by society that women pumping silicone into their breasts and other body parts is a sign of beauty and improvement of the female body! We even have school children expressing disatisfaction with their pubescent bodies, and being co-erced into wanting 'boob jobs'!

Now all this has been promoted by the porn industry, and now by mainstream beauty industry as one further way of enslaving women into the belief that their natural bodies are not good enough, and need to be 'modified' according to the latest fascist ( fashion) industry's dictates.

Given that such ‘hairless regime’ is being promoted on mainstream TV, in music videos, and in the high street (Mine even has a salon advertising 'intimate waxing available for men and women'); one could forgive some poor unsuspecting male coming across a woman not conforming to such ‘body waxing’ pressures, as having some form of disease on finding she has not shaved or waxed away her pubic hair!

Add further, the legal mutilation of the female body via cosmetic surgery, along with the current fad for tattoos amongst teenage girls; and you have complete control of women’s ‘body image’ to mould anyway you please!

I might point out that I say female body, and not woman's body simply because the industry is even promoting this evil crap to teenage girls.

Quite frankly, parents allowing this and their kids as young as 15 to have breast implants, and botox, and other such modifications are simply unfit parents placing their children in danger, both physically and morally!

The excuse given of course is that, 'What is wrong in being ones best?' Well nothing actually! The difference here is that women are being told that they are not making the best of themselves unless they modify their bodies and looks a certain way as determined by men and the mysoginystic fascist (fashion) industry.

Now I hear many people shouting that I am talking bollocks, have a chip on my shoulder, and have a weird way of seeing reality. They also ask, "What the hell has this to do with kids?"

Precisely is my reply, what has it to do with kids?

So why on earth is it all being pushed to kids via pop culture in the form of magazines, videos and in the high street with the sale of padded bras, thongs, and sexually sloganised t-shirts. And I haven’t even mentioned computer and video games yet!

Until parents, politicians and business leaders in this country wake up, take some responsibility, and develop the ability to see all of this 'in the round' as the deluge of the senses it is; driving UK society down the one way road of 'hedonism' and 'moral bankruptcy', absolutely nothing will change!

Given we have in the UK, the greatest number of teenage pregnancies in the whole of Europe, some of the worlds biggest paedophiles rings, sexual grooming and trafficking of school girls, and an appallingly high rate of sexual abuse and domestic violence along with a disgraceful rate of conviction; our society is indeed morally bankrupt and not a pleasant place to bring up our children.

So tell me now that pop and celebrity culture, fashion, the media and our demand for instant gratification which encompasses all we see, all we do, and all we aspire to be; has nothing to do with, in part, creating this environment within the UK!

UK Media Complicit In NHS Privatisation

Whilst the title of this blog may make most accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist, I have also to remind myself that most of the people I talk to also believe that the NHS is not in danger! Sadly, my Face Book friends are too busy with comments on the latest Shite Factor wannabes or the latest brain dead happening on Celebs Biggest Bollocks to respond to anything that is of any consequence to the country.

So despite this reality hitting me in the face and realising I am ranting to empty space, I decided to make my views known about the appalling lack of responsibility to tell the truth to the British people via the old fashioned and now outdated method of news coverage, being perpetrated by the news media outlets on British TV.

Complaining to the BBC News on 30th August via their website I wrote:

Using coverage of Libya to minimise reporting of domestic issues

I am appalled that the BBC is showing complete and total bias
toward government policy by using blanket coverage of the Libyan
conflict as an excuse not to cover domestic issues. 

A perfect example today is the non-reporting of the pressure Group 38 Degrees
independent legal advice on the ramifications for the NHS

If the Government gets it's way and the Health Care Bill due for its 3rd
reading on 6th & 7th September is passed as it currently stands
and sent to the Lords, in essence the whole concept of the NHS will
vanish overnight, with the Health Sec abdicating any responsibility
for providing health care, as the Bill removes this responsibility of
the government. 

This is MASSIVE and the BBC News channels, both
on-line and on TV has totally ignored it! 

This is major disservice to licence payers and once again shows the BBC unwilling to report
anything which does not hold the government in good light. 

Further, when you do cover gov policy issues, your reporters always quote
the government line and when interviewing opponents, again the
reporter pushes the government line. 

I wonder why?

My complaint was given a reference number of CAS-964673-WXZZMR and a response was received on 2nd September:

Dear christopher

Reference CAS-964673-WXZZMR

Thanks for contacting us regarding BBC News.

I understand that you're unhappy as you feel that there has been too much coverage of Libya and not enough of domestic issues. I note that you feel that this is pro-Government bias.

Choosing the stories to include in our bulletins; the order in which they appear and the length of time devoted to them is a subjective matter and one which we know not every viewer will feel we get right every time.

Factors such as whether it is news that has just come in and needs immediate coverage, how unusual the story is and how much national interest there is in the subject matter will all play a part in deciding the level of coverage and where it falls within a bulletin.

BBC journalists are well aware of our commitment to impartial reporting. They are expected to put their own political views to one side when carrying out their work for the BBC. They seek to provide the information which will enable viewers and listeners to make up their own minds; to show the political reality and provide the forum for debate, giving full opportunity for all viewpoints to be heard. Senior editorial staff, the Executive Committee and the BBC Trust keep a close watch on programmes to ensure that standards of impartiality are maintained.

It is not always possible or practical to reflect all the different opinions on a subject within individual programmes. Editors are charged to ensure that over a reasonable period they reflect the range of significant views, opinions and trends in their subject area. The BBC does not seek to denigrate any view, nor to promote any view. It seeks rather to identify all significant views, and to test them rigorously and fairly on behalf of the audience. Among other evidence, audience research indicates widespread confidence in the impartiality of the BBC's reporting.

Nevertheless, we’re guided by the feedback we receive and I can assure you I've registered your complaint on our audience log. This is a daily report of audience feedback that's made available to all BBC staff, including members of the BBC Executive Board, channel controllers and other senior managers.

The audience logs are seen as important documents that can help shape decisions about future programming and content.

Thanks for taking the time to contact us.

Kind Regards

BBC Complaints

 I did not expect any real and serious attempt at responding to my complaint or even acknowledging its validity. A bland 'standard -ignore the issues in any complaint' was clearly adopted.

This is an indictment of the BBC News' ability to actually provide independent news reporting of major issues, and made worse by the BBC's own words in their response to my complaint:

" Factors such as whether it is news that has just come in and needs immediate coverage, how unusual the story is and how much national interest there is in the subject matter will all play a part in deciding the level of coverage and where it falls within a bulletin."

I would have thought that the discovery that legal advice condemned the Health Care Bill as creating a total mess of the NHS at best, and total abdication of responsibility by the Government and handing it over lock stock and barrel to private health care companies in Europe and the USA, at worst, is in fact an issue falling into the BBC's category of 'needs immediate coverage'

Then again, who am I but a poor grumpy old git and editor of a health & safety website and ex-editor of a trade union magazine with over 38,000 circulation. So I wouldn't know anything about news reporting, would I?

Irrespective of that fact, I am one of 60 million people in this country who will be affected by the outcome of the Health Care Bill  - that fact alone makes the issue one which should be covered in full by the country's main news agency which we all, as licence payers, bankroll!

 

Death of the NHS ignored!

Hospital waiting lists increasing, medical treatments being rationed and even banned on NHS: Even a half deaf vampire bat could spot the fact that this is all part of the Government's campaign to run down the NHS and make privatisation appear the only answer! Bastards! Sadly though most of the public seem to be more like mentally retarded ameobas too bedazzled by non-celebrity prats on CBB and talentless wannabees on shite factor to notice whats going on!

The death of a civilised country!

In a civilised society, it is everyones individual duty to look after one another and defend those too weak to help themselves.

Seems to me that the UK can no longer be called civilised supporting as it does a Tory government that labels the disabled, the elderly, the young, the unemployed as all scroungers, whilst at the same time removing funding for such groups and ensuring the bankers and their friends can tax dodge and get richer on the back of the majority.

That said, there is nothing else expected from the establishment, but for the British people to sit back and do nothing about the situation is a damned disgrace.

It also drives the last nail into the coffin of what was once a civilised country!

Insane Country Part 2

There is no doubt that the looting and rioting that took place last week, has nothing to do with the death of a man in Tottenham at the hands of the police.

I do believe though, that it is symptomatic of a country with real problems, and these people rioting, whilst not representative of youth as a whole; do reflect the opinions and attitudes of a lot of young people who feel they are not listened to and are marginalised.

How many families sit as a group and eat together, discuss issues together? Too many parents leave their kids for hours in their bedrooms with their computers, mobile phones and know little of what they get up to. Many kids are literally bringing themselves up, and there is a well developed sub-culture that is dominated by media and pop imagery that, to be frank I do not feel is at all healthy. Kids, as a result have become addicted to FB, BBM, Twitter and SMS as confirmed in an OFCOM report this week.

As for parents, we have a society happy to slag off working mothers, sack pregnant women, attack maternity rights and payments. Add that to a low wage economy, and you have parents having to work all hours to make ends meet.

Sadly because of the technology, family bonding has been replaced with TVs and computers which have now become a prerequisite for every child, whilst parents don’t do anything to understand the technology they supply their kids with! Leaving them with uncontrolled access to the internet and social network sites which exposes them to a range of potentially harmful things such as porn. This is a damn awful lack of parental responsibility. What sort of society ends up with over 50% of kids between the age of 10 and 14 viewing porn on the internet?

Appalling!

Even the huge number of safety software out there to prevent access to such sites and offer protection when kids are on FB etc are not being used.

The problems and causes are multi-faceted, and whilst there is NO excuse for riots and looting, the kids of today are angry, have no respect for others, and expect everything for nothing because parents have totally acquiesced to their demands.

There is a big communications gap and we need to address this and listen to them.

I am not saying all youth are like this, but there are far more of them than you think, believe me.

Are Mr & Mrs Public THAT stupid?

So Health and Safety at Work legislation and the Human Rights Act are both to blame for the riots and thieving that went on last week?

So Cameron claimed this week, and no one raised an eyebrow at this stupid and criminally insane statement from a man who knows fuck all about real life and the working conditions of most of the UK workforce.

 

The only connection between health & safety and the riots is Cameron's political ideology and his aim to privatise everything, thereby creating a majority non unionised workforce, a low wage economy and one with no responsibility to the workers. 

 

Sadly, Cameron will link anytihng with anything else to justify his dogma, even claim the earth is flat if it gets stupid Mr & Mrs Public to believe in what he is doing. Sadly just telling them the moon is made of cheese is enough right now!

 

So are Mr & Mrs Public THAT stupid? 

 

Well probably yes they are!

Insane Country

The current mentality within some of the judiciary, and the majority of the general public explains why we used to have public executions in this great land of ours.

Revenge is what everyone wants and thinks that will stop riots and theft from ever happening again - what a naive and symplistic way of looking at things. Never try to understand unrest or prevent it happening again, just beat the little bastards and lock them up! 

Great British answer to a British problem!

Here is the perfect example of a typically stupid answer to riots and theft:

Write a rediculous statement on Face Book that resulted in buggar all happening, and you get a life long criminal record and locked up for 4 years! A rapist get's less than that! This country has gone insane! Unbelievable and rediculous sentencing which will cost the tax payer even more!

The 'hang 'em & flog 'em brigade wont be happy, but what's next, lifetime exile to an uninhabeted iceberg off antarctica?

Bloody rediculous!

Personally, I don't believe that the risk of a prison sentence will outway the anger and desperation some people feel. If anything the fact that the only answer is for us to lock em up, instead of working out the causes in the first place, will simply play into the hands of those who feel they have no alternative than to riot and thieve. Many were opportunist, but the underlying problem is vast and spread across the UK. 

The current Tory government will make things worse with thier cuts and dogma of privatising everything and growing a low wage economy as a result.

Hello Cruel World Part 2

Interesting how as Harold Wilson once said, "A week in politics is a long time." applies to life and not just politics.

My intitial blog was written prior to the riots in parts of England, and at that time, the Government hadn't dared to raise the spectre of it's wish to do something about social network sites, e.g. BBM, Twitter, Facebook; to name only a few.

Well now they have a perfect excuse to do precisely that, and no doubt the majority of the great unwashed will fall for it, accepting it is a price to pay in order to stop future riots, as if!

Reality is of course that there was rioting well before the invention of the mobile phone and all its subsequent ability to create nightmares for politicians and the state. Go back to early 1700s and you will find evidence of riots on the streets of Engalnd.

No, the truth of it is that Cameron and his Con-Dem(ned) government know that once the British people actually wake up (and by the way it will be too late) to the realities of their massive cuts programme which will transform the country into the United Kingdom Of America (UKA); there will indeed be massive protests and demonstrations on the streets of England.

Just as the main aim of the coalition is to de-unionise the UKs workforce, remove all employment and health & safety protection, and to privatise everything; so is their aim to stem the ability of people to organise and gather via the media of social networking sites.



Of course this is considered to be the rantings of mad men and those who are paranoid and full of conspiracy theories.

Fact is, just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean they are not out to get you!


And Finally:

I lay claim to the phrase 'I Don't beleive it!' which I first used when the bus to school didn't turn up and then three came together! So, Victor Meldrew, where's my royaltyies?!

I don't deny I am a bitter and twisted moaning old git! But I've been around long enough to have the right to do so - and done my bit to try and change things!

Not an armchair socialist like so many, and certainly don't whinge whine and moan and not complain. In fact I'm rather good at it!

Nothing Like A Riot To Wake Up Society!

Nothing like a riot to wake up society!

So now Cameron is using the riots as an excuse to close down social networking (BBM in particular), we will all sit quietly by nodding in agreement without realising that this will be further excuse to curtail genuine public concerns and protests about the Tory policies which will privatise the UK, the NHS, create mass unemployment forcing people onto low wages, non-unionised workplaces, and abolish bit by bit employment rights.

Still the great British public will be nodding away and whingeing on about it being the only way to stop riots, as all groups opposing Government will be slandered as being full of anarchists and left wing looneys!

Oh to be British!!

Completely pissed off with the inability of people on TV and radio and in gutter press to discuss how to prevent this, but proud of those on Twitter who are not sitting idly by.

Watching the middle class male politicians discussing on the like of News Night and Channel 4 riot debates, it is clear that not only do middle class male politicians and self ellected 'opinion formers' not have a bloody clue what the majority of the kids in today's England feel; but that I must be totally wrong in my view that the problem is down to politics, the media, and society's values of 2011.

So I know get it - those rioting and looting are from outer space - suddenly descending from flying saucers and have fuck all to do with our wonderful caring and selfless society in which we all support one another!

Fact is you & me and everyone in this country is responsible for the state of things.

Total acquiescence, gutlessness and the 'I'm aright jack' attitude is well and truly alive and flourishing in the homes, workplaces, and streets of this great nation!!

Hello Cruel World - Part 1

Not that I have the time, but as I am retired from my previous employment and role as a trade union branch officer, I need my daily fix of fighting misery, injustice and lies metered out to workers by employers and the ruling elite of this world!

My pet hate right now, is the media - well I say 'right now', but it has always been a hatred of mine ever since I was first able to read. Next to lies, deceipt, exploitation, inequality, victimisation, discrimination and war; it ranks as the most evil thing in this world.

It has been and still is being, used by those in power to distort and brain wash the masses, and this country is a prime example of subtle media manipulation being used to dumb down scoiety and hide political truths. But it is also the major weapon of choice when it somes to exploiting and controlling women.

Sadly, the media is an evil we have always needed, but never until know, been able to utilise in the fight against evils injustice and the american way of life!(Lol!)

But, as is always the case, whenever the great unwashed utilise their rights, the ruling class conspire to outlaw it and abolish it.

Yes I am talking about freedom of expression and the major tool we now have currently uncensored use of... but that is about to change - but I leave that for another meandering blog to come soon!
