The REAL Brexit agenda?



Well over two years on from Brexit we still don't have the first clue what it's actually about. There is no point to it. It's clear that if it happens the UK breaks up and the economy tanks. The Tory 'Fuck Business' party seems perfectly happy with this. The 'opposition' seems to have morphed into some sort of toff's club for remembering a mythical lost age of socialism and the Lib Dems are criticized for not stopping the entire Tory manifesto EIGHT years ago, by the two parties who are currently poised to destroy gleefully everything all decent Brits hold dear.

The brexit elite clearly sniff a reduction of rights and controls that could bring them in even more cash despite a tanking economy. The far right see it as an opportunity to spread their drivel by using the Right Wing Propaganda Media Machine. The far left sniff anarchy, decline and some mysterious rebirth of sympathy for a political idea that was stale when created in the 1840s.

But the VAST majority of Brits don't belong to these weird groupings. We just want to get on with our lives without too much crap from politicians and without stuff breaking down. That's all been snatched from us. Why do politicians take the risk?? Why on earth do they want the UK to fall apart?? What's the benefit?

I don't believe in conspiracies or conspiracy theories. I believe in science and logic, common sense if you will. This is all bollocks!!

But what if these fuckers, this self appointed elite, are aware of what's happening over the next few decades. They all know about climate change, dipstick Trump and his idiot band of hangers on have already concluded that climate change can't be stopped and we should just get on with enjoying the next few decades, with all the damage and danger that will cause if we don't address things. 

As for energy constraints, they must surely be aware (as we are) that the rapid decline in supply and rapid rise in price of fossil fuels will undermine everything that we currently take for granted.

Perhaps they've concluded that governing through madness, illogic and myth may keep a lid on social unrest? Perhaps they've concluded that it's far easier to control lots of microstates than a few superstates, and letting us all break up will make their lives easier? Who knows. But something is up, something big, and the future may well not be small communities fighting back against climate change and peak energy, but individuals rocking gently to and fro wondering what the fuck happened ...

The life without money conceit


It's one of those sad little ramblings you see every now and then 'Imagine a world without money'. It's usually said by somebody who clearly a) doesn't understand how money works and b) has fucked up their life to such an extent they think that money is the cause of it all. It isn't.

The elite and their sheep are trying to push us towards a cashless society. That should set off warning bells right from the start! Why do they want to restrict our access to REAL money? Simple, control money and you control people. Our life's struggle should be to foil that plan at every opportunity. Not roll over on our backs and issue them an invite to do just that.

But the hardcore 'Imagine a world without money' types go a lot further. They want to outlaw all money. Now, think about this. What would happen on the very first day without money? Well I wouldn't bother to get up because I'd no longer have a business to run. If I couldn't sell I couldn't buy. So I could have a nice lie in, then pop down the shops to just grab everything I want  it's suddenly all free remember. But that lie in will be my downfall because everyone else will have beaten me to it and all I could grab would be a copy of Take a Break and perhaps some exotic herbs - everything else will have gone. And within a few days no new stock would come in because the companies that used to provide everything will have shut up shop because their cash flow will have suddenly vanished.

If this situation prevailed soon a self declared elite will simply allocate stuff according to their whims, favouring people they like and withholding from the rest of us. The rapid economic decline will resemble Brexit ...

Money is a unit of account, a store of wealth and a wonderful barrier against being forced to do what you don't want to do! It's probably the second finest tool we ever invented, after the plough. To hear people want to get rid of it chills me to the core.

We live in interesting times. How soon before some dictator somewhere puts this on their 'to do' list, and revisits the Khmer Rouge era, the only time this madness ever happened for real?
