The real villains are the greedy, selfish, callous billionaires who are busy exploiting us and shifting the blame on to immigrants.
Isn’t that obvious???
Has Democracy come to this?
The Death of Justice and Morality in the USA!
There is no justice in the USA.
There is no morality in the USA.
Power and Wealth control the System.
Powerful rapists, tax evaders, business frauds, insurrectionists and lying, cheating conmen walk free while the poor get locked up for minor crimes – there is no justice.
While evangelical Christians, claiming to be moral, vote for a man who breaks every commandment there is no morality.
The USA has become a corrupt, immoral place where violence, ignorance, superstition and love of power has replaced all semblance of civilized thinking.
The corrupt rule and the ignorant vote for them.

Narrow Views and Ignorance
We don’t need science.
We don’t need experts.
We can just guess the truth!
They don’t know anything.
They always get it wrong!
Deep state elitist aloof.
We’ve got the bible!
We listen to Trump.
We’ve got the proof!

It’s like we have entered a new dark age of superstition and ignorance. It’s as if the enlightenment never happened.
Or is it just that the ignorant and superstitious have always been there but Trump has energised and activated them?
Is ignorance contagious?
This systematic undermining of science, experts and demonising of politicians has taken things to a new level.
I’m cynical about politicians and even science, but at least it’s better than anarchy and religion. There is a sound basis to science. It’s provable.
There is no basis to these conspiracy theories.
We live in dangerous times.

Conspiracy, Fake News and Gullibility.
How ignorant, gullible and stupid are people??
Fact: Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell are convicted procurers and abusers of underage girls. They farmed the girls out to others and held parties where these girls were abused.
Prince Andrew and Donald Trump were friends of Epstein and Maxwell and guests at these parties. Both have been accused of abusing girls.
Conspiracy: The Democrats are running a satanic paedophile ring where babies are eaten.
How can it possibly be sane to believe that Donald Trump (a self-confessed abuser of women) is fighting against a paedophile ring in Washington? (That is not taking into account that many believe that Washington is being controlled by alien lizards.)
Isn’t it far more likely that Trump and Prince Andrew were friends of Epstein and Maxwell so that they could get their hands on young girls?
If anyone is a paedophile isn’t it more likely to be Trump rather than an alien lizard?? – Not that I am saying Trump is a paedophile – just an abuser of girls.
I know which of the likelihoods has substantial evidence and which doesn’t.
Fact: The German far-right Nazis had a ‘final solution’ to exterminate all Jews. They unleashed a holocaust with extermination camps to carry out their racist policies. Six million were murdered in their concentration camps.
We have photographic evidence, the camps themselves, documentation, names, transit records and film of the camps and the gruesome mass graves and crematoria.
Conspiracy: The world is run by Jews who are telling lies. There were no camps. There was no holocaust.
What?? People have gone to extraordinary lengths to deny the gas chambers, claim it was all exaggerated and obfuscate the evidence.
How can intelligent (many aren’t) people believe this nonsense??
How do people like Trump, Johnson and Bolsonaro convince people that black is white?
Why do people prefer to believe absurd conspiracies about the UN, 9/11, global warming, the moon landings, species diversity, the earth being flat and alien lizards rather than sane rationality??
Poetry – My Heart is Broken
My Heart is Broken
My heart is broken
As I watch you
Squander everything you once had.
My heart is broken
When you do not read
And fail to inform yourself.
My heart is broken
When I see your gullibility
As you swallow the lies.
My heart is broken
To see you wallow in ignorance
And susceptibility.
My heart is broken
To witness
How they manipulate you.

I have watched with increasing unease as Brexit progresses. I have watched interview after interview with ill-educated people displaying great ignorance and gullibility. It has made me question democracy.
What has happened to the working class?
There used to be a knowledgeable working class who were aware of the social history of this country, who were well-read, who knew their politics and were involved.
They seemed to have exchanged the Ragged Trousered Philanthropist for Love Island and Strictly.
It you throw away your knowledge and understanding you open yourself up to being manipulated. If your knowledge comes from Sky News, the Daily Express, Daily Mail and Sun then you have no knowledge.
Stupidity rules.

The heroes and the thinking people – they’ve all gone away!
They’ve left behind the morons – now we’re all gonna pay!
They believe everything they read in the bloody Daily Mail,
The Sun, the Express, Telegraph and Nigel Farage as well!
We’re morons! We’re morons!
We’ve forgotten how to think!
We’re morons! We’re morons!
It’s a wonder we can blink!

The BBC are going around the country stopping various members of the public to ask them about Brexit and the election. They either deliberately pick out complete morons or edit the intelligent responses out.
The people they select seem to be uniformly ignorant and stupid.
Yesterday they picked on a pub in the north of England. A bunch of old fools were sitting round a table and came out with the most moronic tosh I have ever heard. They could not see why we just could not pull out of Europe overnight without any understanding of the partnerships, collaborations and complexity of international trade relationships. They wanted our borders secured but had no concept of the massive checks, tariffs and complexity that this would entail.
The biggest stupidity was one imbecile who thought that we’d do very well because we are British; we used to rule half the world.
I felt like nutting the guy.
We never ruled half the world. The people who ruled half the world are the ones who live in the big mansions, the Stately Homes, and penthouses. The likes of us were either signed up in the army and being used for expendable cannon fodder, or working twelve hours a day, six days a week, in the factories. We did not even have a vote!
Those people still rule the world!
They set about taking over the world so that they could exploit the natives and strip the assets. All that wealth from the colonies went into the pockets of the wealthy elite so they could live in their mansions with their myriad of servants and lavish lifestyles. That enormous wealth did not filter down to ordinary people. Our conditions were appalling. We were every bit as exploited as the natives of the countries we conquered.
The Tory Party was formed by that wealthy elite in order to look after the interests of the wealthy elite – and that is what they do. Over the last ten years they have systematically robbed the poor to give to the rich. They have cut social services and public services while giving tax cuts to the wealthy. They have enabled the wealthy to use tax loopholes to avoid paying taxes.
It is scandalous.
This poem is aimed at that ignorant, ill-educated segment of society. They should read a bit more of our history!
