tartan bunker

This week a young talented man I know lost his job and was almost in tears and an elderly lady who’s worked hard all her life, who feels the cold, has said she’ll not be using the electric fire because of the cost. It’s happening nation and worldwide, and will get worse. Stand up those responsible (if they’re not too full of free champagne, air miles, and bullshit): politicians and financiers*). Are they crying, fretting about how to pay a bill or feed a hungry mouth. Are they freezing to death?

 Why aren’t these people on trial? For years they’ve known full well what was going on with our economies (and if they didn’t, let’s remind ourselves, and them, that ignorance is no defence in the eyes of UK law). Shouldn’t they be forced to return money they’ve ‘taken’ from us? And while Mr Brown and The UnDarling of Neverneverland borrow huge sums of money, on whose broken backs does this burden of debt rest?

 If you or I go a tad over the speed limit or are a few minutes overdue paying a tax bill, we’re fined or imprisoned. But it appears when you reach a level of power and/or influence, you’re given a ‘getaway wi’ it’, a Santa, clause. And what about some of these culprits taking responsibility for those who’ll lose their life because of what’s happened? Am I barkin’ mad to think that their actions amount to manslaughter?  

 Come the revolution. Or Dekaydence . . . See Black Light and in 2009, Green Fire.
