Riddell describes it as it is!!
The Nasty Dishonest Party rotting from both ends!
Poetry – Echoes of History
Echoes of History
Echoes of history
Louder every day,
Leaving hungry children
Shivering in the dark.
Civilisation crumbles
Into choking dust;
Houses into rubble.
Missiles hit their mark.
Security an illusion
While tyrants rule.
Ruining the future;
Leaving choices stark.
Opher – 15.3.2021
It is incredibly disturbing to see Putin directing the destruction of a country.
Why do we do it?
We live in sophisticated cities with people working and playing, worrying about fashion and whether they can afford a better house or a new car. Every normal. Lives filled with trivia – the school run, the cinema, a trip out, planning holidays, shopping and cooking. Ordinary.
We live in countries where there are debates as to whether we can afford to repair potholes inroads or replace cladding on skyscrapers, to pay teachers and nurses a living wage, yet we can but multimillion pound tanks, missiles and aircraft.
On the whim of a despot we can turn whole cities into piles of rubble.
How many trillions wasted?
If a building collapses, trapping hundreds, it is a global catastrophe. Yet we can callously deliberately kill hundreds of thousands of women and children.
Civilisation is just a short holiday from carnage. Slaughter and destruction is the norm.
We are nasty vicious little apes who pretend.
We are witnessing the reality of our nature. Humans are not very nice.
Boris Johnson – the Reality.
It’s hard to believe that many people find this conniving conman a loveable clown.
Boris Johnson – £250,000 a year second salary described as ‘chicken feed’. Robbing £20 a week off the poorest.
These people live in a different world. With salaries in the hundreds of thousands they can’t imagine what it is like to try to feed kids on benefit, to choose between heat and food.
They have no empathy.
They put out a simple message – all those on benefit are scroungers. They need to get off their backsides and find a job. It’s a lie.
They use the few scroungers as an excuse.
But benefit scroungers cost us a fraction of the amount lost through tax evasion. The wealthy are pouring billions offshore tax free without a murmur.
I’d much rather put up with a few scroungers bucking the system to ensure that the really needy get enough.
The government of gross inequality and unfairness. Levelling up??? Ha Ha!!!
Johnson’s second salary would provide that uplift for 12,500 desperate families!
SHAME!! SHAME!!! SHAME!!!
Priti Patel – The Evil Face of Brexit
There is irony all over this!! Priti Patel, herself the daughter of immigrants, is the most nasty piece of work building on Theresa May’s Hostile Environment.
The epitome of Brexit with is racist, xenophobic zeal, lacking all compassion, like a modern-day caricature of Enoch Powell, she wants immigrants locked up, punished, treated like criminals and callously shoved back into the sea.
It’s lucky she wasn’t in charge when Emma Raducanu’s parents immigrated into the country.
