book

I hesitate to appear to use this blog as a promotional tool, and I trust any regular readers will not view me in that manner. However, if you are interested in what I say and in my opinions of our modern society, I am having a book published in September called "Human Rights in a Big Yellow Taxi."

Should you wish to see a preview of the cover of this book, you can view it on Amazon or the Book Depository by simply typing in the title.

The theme of the book is how we are losing all of our human rights to satisfy the prerogatives of the dominant neoliberal free market economic ideology. As you will know, I consider this ideology and the theories that support it as wrong and fraudulent. As a result, the assault on our rights and freedoms are not only unjustified but are sinister and are being implemented in order to prevent any challenge to the unbridled theft of our national wealth and to reduce the working people of the country to a state of servitude akin to forms of slavery. This is, of course, the entire thrust of the right's desperation to get us out of the European Union and the protection of the European Court of Human Rights. No person with any conscience or decency can support the Conservatives or UKIP but particularly anyone who works for a living as they will remove all of your employment rights at the first opportunity.

The reference to a big yellow taxi is inspired by the Joni Mitchell song of that name when she tells us in the chorus

"don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone"

If any of you are too young to know the song, just Google it, I'm sure you'll like it, and, be under no illusions, your rights are going and will soon be gone unless we waken up and say enough is enough,
