It's been an interesting couple of weeks as we watch Britain's political system implode, leaving just a nasty smell and a mass of irrelevance.
Cameron is finished thanks to his adventures with ham, the LibDems have a long way to go before anyone will bother even acknowledging their existence and, worst of all, Labour have decided to go for the unelectable yet again.
We've seen this happening all over the world. Complete stupidity and irrelevance taking the place of discourse. People with a huge sense of entitlement - just because of where they've been born - have a queue of nonentities lining up to sell them snake oil. They are lapping it up. The USA has its Republicans, a gang of people so stupid it's impossible to parody them, throughout the Middle East tyrants in and out of government slaver away cutting off heads and destroying hope, in Greece a smarmy cult won power and immediately did everything they said they wouldn't, and then got re-elected!
But in the UK we wanted to go one better. Let's find the least talented, most uncharismatic, pointless individual ever. A public school twit who has never known real work or poverty or danger - and then feeds the entitled drones around him ridiculous dross that wasn't even workable when the economy was growing, let alone now. Socialism - for fuck's sake!! If the glove fits though ... socialism was an invention of the middle and upper middle classes to keep working class people under control. It's a liquidation cult - let the decent people make the money, then steal it from them. Great for a year or so ... until all the entrepreneurs have moved on and suddenly the economy is fucked.
And all the time we have great swathes of unfortunate people escaping the disgusting chaos caused by one lot of psycho bully scum for the supposed delights of western Europe, not realising for one minute that if anything they are throwing themselves into an even greater disaster in the making.
It's not easy going for the 100% neutral approach to life. It's not easy going against the flow, telling people the facts and standing back whilst the bullshit is flung at you.
But realistically it's our only hope for the future. We need to stop feeling entitled, we need to stop finding scapegoats and we need to start building the sustainable communities that are our ONLY hope for the future. We should perhaps all have 'CUT THE CRAP' tattooed on our hearts. I have.
