But fuck it.<br /><br />There is no getting away from this matter.<br /><br />We are talking about slashing a third of everything.<br /><br />From a billion; 136,000,000 is gone. So far so what. Except 60% of that budget is, legally, uncomutable. Ergo; from 400,000,000, take 136,000,000. That’s a third.<br />Libraries. So what? <br />Police outreach and communities work - So what ?<br /> Social Services. At all levels and on all fronts. So what ?<br />Support for the frail, the exposed to crime, the people already living in grime and confusion, the disenfranchised. So fucking what ? <br />No.<br />The kids. The park managers; the playgrounds, the allotments, the sports pitches, the cheap and cheerful park cafes where people get together and moan about the state of the above... the rivers, the back alleys, the wide expanses of countryside now sold off to the highest bidder... the tatty streets with no more litter cleaning...<br />The invisible jewels of our society, so carefully designed by our - OUR - committees are about to be cut in ways that we – NONE OF US - have ever imagined, nor signed up to.<br /><br />So... we'll accept smog and confusion and illiteracy and chaotic commuting. No change there. But further to that, we'll long for unwarranted precincts like religion to fill the gap that once was the easy going common weald - and the Tories can't wait, like any fundamentalist movement, to fill impoverished minds with yet more outworn and failing ideas. Except their own exponential , slavering and unequivocal pursuit of outright greed.<br /><br />No. In their world – the on they broadcast to us - the poor will continue to blame the poorer. That's how that trick works.<br /><br />We'll run rivers dry and ask people to invest in unattainable dreams... more white goods... more consequence-free sensualism... fewer pot-holes and more Regional BBC Radio Phone-Ins..<br /><br />I don't have kids. But I'll fight like a bastard to mitigate this shit that's coming their way.<br /><br />Here's to great people, great friends and a fairer life. This is just the beginning of a truly fucking horrible era. <br />I do religion as much as I do relativism, i.e. not a lot – but these people are evil, and so is their agenda.<br />I know that most of you have the stomach for it. Let's fight the fucking lot of them.Bitterweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290137850441509784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-25204973742170845742011-01-16T04:57:09.031+00:002011-01-16T04:57:09.031+00:00BW.I work alongside a young lad(19) who works 50 ...BW.I work alongside a young lad(19) who works 50 hours a week and can afford fuck all.

WE. KNOW. THAT.<br /><br />Ok, so take your shots here, but don't ever imagine you are fighting this battle on your own. You aren't, nor can you be, by sheer weight of numbers.<br /><br />Activism used to be a badge of honour amongst committed , civil minded people.<br /><br />And it is about to become so again.<br /><br />This place, for all its occasional and futile "the Archers with banners" bullshit is actually a pretty good place to help co-ordinate the function of activism.<br /><br />I don't give a shit if it's broad-church. The very fact that minds like yours give a shit about its existance gives me some succour.<br /><br />We can overcome these cunts. Or at least die knowing we have been fighting them.<br /><br />I know - or at least presume - that you also think I'm somewhere in between a turncoat and a vapid hippy idealist, but some of the conversations I've had this week, with people in roles ranging from director of Adult Social Services Directors to "frontline" OT staff in hospitals (work and socially) makes me feel that the input of true socialists like you is invaluable to the ongoing struggle against those venemous bastards who are, for reasons of both ideology and greed, trying to decimate the planet's people and resources.<br /><br />Outside or inside this sometimes petty, often transient, and, yes, infuriatingly clubbable zone of bonhomie, you are a player.<br /><br />In or out. You still stand.<br /><br />OK.Bitterweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290137850441509784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-41536909534543880282011-01-16T02:45:45.278+00:002011-01-16T02:45:45.278+00:00For you anyway
