I apologise for not having posted for over a week but I was otherwise engaged having had a new central heating system fitted with all the chaos and disruption that entails. Another reason was my disgust at the budget as it was just as bad as I told you it would be. What is happening in Britain is quite chilling. The UK, or rather England and Wales, is descending into fascism and is now characterised by hate. Actually what is happening is a continuation of what I have been warning about and it is the increasing division of Scotland and England. We are now quite definably two culturally and morally different countries. The people who live and vote in England are increasingly motivated by hatred. Westminster and its supporters within the UK are now openly displaying their class hatreds. The budget was nothing less than undisguised class warfare. For example, I have continually highlighted how Westminster and the British elite are aggressively exclusionary, and this is now starkly shown by the abolition of the student maintenance grant. Another measure is the continuing attacks on the disabled. Disability is now being seen as a moral failure in people and the disabled are facing increasing discrimination, marginalisation, dehumanisation and physical and mental abuse from the general public.
One of the excuses continually trotted out by the Tories is that university places are still being taken by people from the lower class brackets. That is because there are no jobs and these people have no other form of mobility available to them. However, we shall see how many working class students the universities are able to attract now that they will have to finance their entire university life themselves. Higher education is no longer based on ability, it is now purely on ability to pay. If you want any more proof of the Americanisation of British society, I have no idea how you will be convinced. I can only conclude that you are wilfully blind. Now that education is based purely on ability to pay, the health service will be next.
No-one with a modicum of intelligence can deny what is happening to this country. The only light I see is the inevitability of Scottish independence. I earlier commented on the appalling quality of the candidates for the Labour leadership, both in England and in Scotland and as the campaigns for both sets of leadership highlight, the situation is actually worse than I initially suspected. Thus, there is no hope for the nation coming from Labour. Anyone who cannot see the absolute imperative for a distinct Scottish Labour Party is completely lacking in any form of political intelligence, and that is the choice for Labour supporters both in Scotland and in England. It really is enough to make you despair. Britain is now a deeply unjust society, a society riven by greed and hatred. Free marketeers like to quote Adam Smith and I will leave you with such a quote from Smith and you can judge for yourself how he would view today's Westminster gang.
"Justice…is the main pillar that upholds the whole edifice. If it is removed, the great, the immense fabric of human society, that fabric which to raise and support seems in this world, if I may say so, to have been the peculiar and darling care of Nature, must in a moment crumble into atoms....The prevalence of injustice must utterly destroy society".
There will be consequences. You have been warned.
