During the last few months of Tory/Lib Dem rule, there has been a steady move to redirect the wider argument of local, national and global bankruptcy.
It started out, quite rightly, with the blame laying firmly and squarely on the Bankers and other hangers on in the financial services community.
Once the Tories seized power the public were gently swayed into beleiving that it was Gordan Brown/The Labour Party that was responsible.
Almost six months on, and a budget and spending review later, the government has introduced controversial and mind bending rule changes regarding areas such as, housing benefit, taxation, child benefit etc
These marginal changes have little fiscal value but have a nasty subtext that is seized upon by the right wing media and promulgated to the general mass of the chattering classes.
All I hear from people these days are arguments that are now based on class, employment, unionisation, location, ethnicity, morality etc.
These deliberately spiteful budgetry tax and spending anomolies have conspired to succesfully erase 'The Bankers' from the mind of the people.
People are now beginning to turn against each other on the basis of race, employability etc.
If you don't believe me, just listen to any radio phone-in or TV audience debate.
It's getting like the 80's again. And it's gonna get worse. A lot worse.
Don't let them mess with YOUR MIND.

Divide and rule. Separate out. Stratify. Subdue the masses with the X-Factor/Celebs and Xmas.
ReplyDeleteThat fucking axe was being sharpened behind the arras.
Our 'repost' must be the response we provided in the eighties.
Class Action ! The economics of the landed will remain unaltered - it is public services and those most unprepared who will be stung !
Declare your outrage, write it down, wrap it around a brick and throw it through a Bank window.
Anarcho-Demons Arise !!!
