Well there you have it, officially and unchallenged, the top 1% of the worlds population now own half of all the world's wealth. It was the main story on tonight's Channel Four news. I trust people will start taking a bit more notice of what I am writing now as I would like to remind you that I have been warning you about this since I started this blog.
There is no intelligent response necessary to such a revelation as it is self-explanatory. It is disgustingly obscene. We are dominated by an deeply flawed economic ideology, a deeply flawed economic system that has been erected as a result, and by an appalling political class that is in thrall to that ideology. Labour have again announced that if they win the election this year they are going to retain the Tories spending plans. As a result, it will not matter one jot whether you get a Labour or a Tory government because whatever you get will be identical to the other lot and the dominant economic model will once again get the blessing of the Westminster criminals. Despite the appalling state of the economy with over 1million people now dependent on foodbanks, this ideology has not failed, it has delivered exactly as it was designed to do, to transfer wealth from the poorest in society to the richest. It is the British people's misfortune that they consistently buy into the Westminster narrative that they are governing for the nation, they are not, and, since 1979, never have. They are governing for those whom Thatcher referred to as 'our' people. If ever a practical joke was successfully practiced on a gullible public it was the notion that we are Better Together.
I know from experience of talking to many people that they find it very difficult to believe that making the majority poorer in order to make the minority richer is official Westminster policy. I say Westminster because it is the policy of all major parties in Westminster, including UKIP, but with the exception of the SNP and the Greens. It is quite deliberate, as is the decision to denigrate and demonise the most disadvantaged in society, it is the scapegoat mentality. The British consistently buy into the dominant narrative that their misfortune is the result of benefit scroungers, immigrants, public spending and all the other garbage that spews out of the Sun, the Express and the Mail.
The inequalities we see, not only in the UK, but globally, are profoundly unjust, and, as Adam Smith tells us, 'the prevalence of injustice must utterly destroy society.' This is an economic model that, not only would Smith fail to recognise, but would utterly condemn. As I keep telling you, there is not, nor can be, a free market. The pursuit of a free market is the pursuit of an illusion. Again I remind you, Adam Smith never uses the term free market. Our dominant economic model is a lie and a fraud, and that is why it is so attractive to the liars and fraudsters that inhabit Westminster.
There can be no respite for this country until this economic model is challenged, exposed for the lie it is, and ditched. In tandem with that the political class that supports this model must also be exposed as liars, challenged and ditched. I can see no light ahead except to urge people to vote against the Westminster parties at every opportunity. It is to be hoped that the Scots will cleanse our politics by once again making Scotland a Tory free zone this May, but with the bonus of making it a Lib/Dem free zone as well. In addition, no intelligent person could reasonably vote Labour, but in Scotland I know that is too much to ask. It is to be hoped however that they lose as many seats as possible. We may not have won the referendum, but surely those who voted No must now be deeply regretting it. We can only hope. You have been warned.
