Fascism raises it's ugly head again!

22.01.2011 13:48

Strange isn't it, that they can find billions for colonial wars to plunder other people's countries, they can find more billions of taxpayers money to bail out the banks to protect the wealthy shareholders, but they cannot find a few million to help the old, disabled or poor.

BTW - Many of the disabled people have been physically damaged as a consequence of pollution, pharmaceuticals, radiation and other 'modern' scientific causes. Many have also been disabled in industrial accidents, etc, etc. Even the pagan Celts took care of their sick and elderly. Human dignity seems to be a disposable asset for governments these days, to help increase the corporate profit margins.

We don't have political leaders anymore, only technocrats who's first loyalty seems to be to the wealthy autocrats and not to the people who elected them. David Cameron and Glegg are shinging examples of what politics has become.

It's not just this country either, every country in the world seems to have turned corrupt. I hope the Tunisians can hang on to their freedom and not be hoodwinked by the globalist B team that seems to be trying to wangle it's way back into power. These 'technocratts' need to be weeded out of politics and all ofther government and social centres.

Roll on the revolution!

I'm on benefits and I've been on all the student demos. Students should support this demo and ones like it as the way things are going in this country a lot of them will be on benefits.
