So, the nation has spoken, the nation has decided and sadly, either
through willful
ignorance, greed, sociopathic disorder or plain stupidity (for really,
with the evidence available those can be the only reasons)
voted for another 5 years of Conservative misrule. What does this say
about British people? I'm sure we'd all have different views, mine
scathing and acrimonious, though one thing must be true: that's that
Britain is
indeed in deficit, though not financially, but
spiritually. I've only one thing
to say to those conservative voters: don't hide your lamp under a
bushel, take ownership of the policies you've mandated and celebrate
them; too often people vote for a party, and therefore its policies,
although then try and distance themselves from them. So to Tory voters:
when a disabled person has their dignity taken away or another family is
forced to beg for food, raise a glass; when a homeless person dies in
the gutter or an unemployed person takes their life in desperation, give
a cheer; when our public services lay in
tatters, our NHS bled dry, shout huzzah!; when a fox is ripped apart by
baying hounds or another badger's shot, thump the sky; when climate
change ravages our country, when people lack secure housing or secure
employment and their right to appeal injustice has been removed,
celebrate what
you've achieved; you must be proud, so shout about it. As make no
mistake, you'll have facilitated it all, the government couldn't do it
without you. The rich will get richer, the poor much much poorer, but
you know that. And don't worry, the government may not have got around
to hurting you yet, but they will, they will; your
time will come.
