I was discussing the free market perversion of language. Right now in Britain we are witnessing continuing riots in our prisons, a drop of prison officers by one-third in the past four years under the Tories, industrial action within the prison system by the remaining officers, by railway workers, in the ambulance service, within the medical profession, in the post office, lorry drivers etc. The care system is collapsing under a regime of 39% cuts in budget since the last election. I could go on but the facts are that the free market system of privatisation of public services is a total shambles and the Tories management of those public services that still remain is a disaster. Even those of you from outside Britain who read this must be aware that I am not exaggerating or propagandising. There are no empirical arguments left to support the free market neoliberal model of government. It has failed, demonstrably and dangerously. Yet in the language of British politicians it is still not their fault, but mostly the result of the European Union, and immigrants who are putting intolerable pressure on such services, which is quite demonstrably untrue, but suits the inherent racism of the majority of the British population who would rather comfort themselves with a barefaced lie than admit that it is of their own making. Polls are persistently showing that the British on average believe that 15% of the population are Muslim when the number is around 5%. Where do they get such beliefs from? The pigsty of course and the lying filth that work for the Mail, the Express and the Sun. They voted for these disgusting reprobates and they continue to support them and buy their newspapers even although it is daily demonstrated that they are lying through their teeth. It is the same in the United States, their economic model has failed but they are applauding a President-elect who we see daily on our televisions admitting that all the things he said during his campaign, all his promises were lies. He is boasting about lying and his supporters are cheering him for it. The world is most certainly enduring cultural insanity on a widespread scale.
In Britain the elite still condemn every form of industrial action and are supported by a right-wing press who detest working people and their representatives with a passion. The working people of this country have persistently voted for their descent into slavery but prefer to blame everyone but themselves and their own stupidity. In all of this they are aided and supported by a perversion of the English language from the pigsty and its henchmen in the media who persistently demonise everyone who seeks to challenge the dominant narrative. No-one ever seeks to understand why there is so much discontent and anger amongst working people and why they are so estranged from society. We have even witnessed respectable sources of reportage unwittingly adopting this form of perversion in describing such a development as 'post-truth' when they should be describing it as bare faced lying. Describing what is happening as post-truth is investing it with a character that will not be readily understood by most people and that is exactly what the elite want, to confuse, divide, and conquer. In addition it is perverting our understanding by embedding the assumption that such people ever told the truth in the first place, there never has been a truthful dominant narrative in this country. I do not apologise for reminding you that everything, and I mean everything, that the Scottish people were told by the pigsty and its revolting government and major parties during the 2014 referendum, was a barefaced lie. In addition, we now see that everything we were told by the Leave campaign during the EU referendum was also completely untrue. So, we are in a political system on both sides of the Atlantic whereby we are being expected to respect the outcomes of farcical campaigns of lies and distortions and respect personnel who should be barred from holding political office for all time.
Our free market politicians are persistently telling us that the interests of business and the interests of the nation are the same thing. I will show you in my next post how Adam Smith, the supposed father of free market economics says something quite different. Not Marx, but Adam Smith. You have been warned
