Britain is morally bankrupt

I find myself in the strange position of having to agree with an evil person. George Osborne has stated that his position on benefits, the unemployed and the disabled is now the centre ground in British politics and I have to agree with him with one qualification, it is not the centre ground in British politics, only in England and Wales, the Scots still retain a modicum of civilisation and decency. I hesitate to call anyone evil, but what else do you call a person who is a pathological liar, who takes pleasure in hurting people, who openly persecutes the most vulnerable people in society and who panders to rich people and encourages mass criminality by the people he associates with? What has to be said is that he and his associates have successfully convinced the bulk of the British people that they are actually the good guys. For example, one of the things they have successfully argued is that fairness means that those on benefits should not have an income higher than people in work. The Tories are characterised by measures such as, they have deliberately driven wages down for the past six years and lowered the standard of living of all working people to the extent that one-third of all people who use food banks are in full-time employment. Thus, because working people now live on the margins of poverty, fairness means that people on benefits must be driven into absolute poverty. There is never a discussion that benefits are in fact too low and one of the solutions would be to raise the wage levels as well as benefits to lift people out of the cycle of poverty and low wages. To me, fairness means taking money from those who earn so much they cannot count it never mind spend it, and redistributing it to the people at the bottom. Such things are never considered in modern Britain as poverty is a sin and a sign that those in poverty are feckless, undeserving and needing a good dose of the discipline that comes with hunger and want to get them off their lazy backsides.

One of the great tragedies of British politics is how the bulk of the population has absorbed the Tory hatred of the disadvantaged and marginalised. I have written about the majority hatred of trades unions, a hatred that is characterised by its complete irrationality, and this hatred is spreading out to the general working population. It is now generally accepted that people at the bottom end of the income and wealth scale deserve their fate. As I say in the title, Britain is morally bankrupt and consumed with selfishness and greed. Despite all the empirical evidence that Osborne and his economic policies are a complete failure, people still prefer to blame the poor and disadvantaged for the state of society. I remind you, in 2010 Cameron and Osborne assured us that their economic programme of austerity was necessary to cure the economy and that the deficit would be solved by 2015. At the election the deficit was almost double what it had been in 2010. Debt is at a record level and the deficit is getting out of control. Thus by the government's own terms, their core economic strategy is a total failure. Falling wages and job insecurity have resulted in a collapse of tax receipts, compounded by the fact that the government refuses to collect the taxes of the rich and the major corporations. Thus, all of the austerity, the benefit cuts and the war against the poor has been for nothing. Again I remind you what Adam smith, the supposed author of the free market told us when he said that the prevalence of injustice must utterly destroy society. We live in a deeply unjust nation that is getting more unjust by the day, and that is what the majority of voters voted for in May, because the United Kingdom has adopted the morality of fascism.
