BREXIT and the divorce of a nation

Divorces are ugly things, where partner is pitted against partner and it is not unusual for one parent or other to use their children in an emotional battle to hurt the other. Britain has voted out of the EU and the histrionics of those who can't-believe-it brigade write articles, imposed alleged learned interpretations of the law and hail general bombs of catastrophe around. Who needs an enemy of trade agreement when you have adults acting so petulantly one might ask. Now Teresa May and Jeremy Corbyn seem to be the only ones singing from the same hymn sheet. Odd when considering they are opposition party leaders. May has decided the MPs will not get a vote on this issue because the country has spoken and in all reality the voice was a majority exit. Corbyn was blamed by the in camp for not putting a more vigorous front in his wanting to stay in the EU. However, the public surmise no matter what he says he didn't want to stay in anyway although you'll not hear him say it. What should be asked is why an earth are we coming over as so inadequately prepared? The answer doesn't is all so apparent.

It was Osborne and Cameron's conniving and hubris of attitude which is has created the current chaos. Neither man prepared a plan B, because theirs was plan A and as far as they were concerned the public would listen, the public knew the importance of what they had to say and the public could be hoodwinked by the usual modus operandi of the two. Fear.

FEAR has ruled the Tory politics of this country now since 2010. Ed Milliband was not the man to lead the Labour election, his damp squid character and pallid jousts and PMQs have marked him as a rich man Labourite coming from a similar stable as Blair. A man who at first did give the impression of being inspirational, until he communed with Bush and they became bosom buddies. Blair whose time will be numbered until he can be put on trial for instigating a war which should never of taken place. Blair is the man who is ignorant of how disliked he is. He is up there with the late Maggie (mad cow) Thatcher. Fear is now what is permeating in those lost voters who can't believe the UK is coming out of the EU. Fear which may well have a tinge of justification. For the EU now will want to torment the UK and make it pay for being independent minded and not being part of their club. A club which is toxic to the likes of Spain, Greece, Italy and even France.

It is Fear Politics which now has the UK settled in an ever lasting austerity agenda. Public services being battered by central government tic-tact. Education at degree level has now moved to the point where young people will have a fifty thousand pound loan and high interest to pay it off. Education which should be free, for this is the thing which fights ignorance, this is the thing which allows social mobility and makes a country great. Only the rich will be able to afford education, such as the likes of Cameron had at Oxford University. It's odd because Cameron does not come across as a particularly gifted intellect. He had the opportunity given to him by his wealthy parents. So for the rest of the country, the poor and the working classes and even the middle classes, the UK will turn in a worse version of the USA. Ignorance and debt and payment of insurance for everything. If you have a broken foot make sure you have paid your health insurance because the ever forward push of privatising the NHS and closing down hospitals continues. A broken foot is not life threatening so you will just have to cope with it. And it was this same FEAR politics employed in telling the British public they must vote to stay in, it was Osborne who confessed there was no plan B. A man who just like Cameron comes across as a thicko who got where he is through given opportunity that can only come from the rich. A man who has never gone a day without food, until he decided to diet because his image as a porker in the public eye likely bashed his self esteem.

The shame is now the British public is tearing itself apart, it should of been made clear at the beginning whatever the outcome the vote would be respected and it everyone should reconcile behind the decision. We all know why the Cameron had the vote, because he could no longer control his own backbenchers or the staunch Tories who wanted out. However, there are no worries because he has done his best to sell the country's assets of and in the next term we'll see May decide on the continuation of a fiscal policy with an outcome designed to destroy the working and middle classes because only the rich classes should be allowed to walk the earth. Feck the rest.

The death of a young fundamentalist

Not that long ago there was a news report of three teenage girls who had self radicalised into fundamentalist Islam and decided to take a trip to Raqa in Syria. Their plan was to become jihadi brides. As is normally the case ignorance prevailed over reason. The elegant advertising campaign through youtube and social media had attracted these girls to something they thought was a higher calling, something to be more important than their own lives. They had led sheltered lives at homes in East London. Where their parents no doubt loved them very much, however their parents were not going off and fighting wars in foreign countries. Why this did not occur to these young ladies is probably the beginning of the ignorance. The West has freedoms which are easily taken for granted and naivety doesn't account for the history of a country. Ignorance does not account for understanding the freedoms the UK has today is because of the wars which had taken place yesterday. The long struggles of the classes and the social and cultural development of the UK to tender away from the domination of religion. So it is we hear the news Kadiza Sultana has been killed in a Russian air strike on Deash (ISIS).

In a telephone discussion (filmed by ITV news) with her mother, this young lady can be heard saying the borders were closed and she would not escape through PKK territory. When listening to the tone of her voice is is of a silly little girl not understanding it is her life at stake.  Kadisha fled to Syria with two other girls and became disillusioned with life under Daesh. The reality of the situation made her change her mind.  This girl had been hoodwinked by propaganda videos, had she taken a 101 course in advertising or media studies at school she might of understood how media works. How advertisers get viewers to buy into their products. No doubt she had been sitting at home and effectively brain washed herself by watching this video pork pies (lies).

There will always be ignorance especially where there is religion. Religion of any kind loves the blind acceptance of faith and does not allow questioning. If there is one poison in the world more prevalent than any other it is religion. Sadly it is also the one which will never stop to encourage the death of humanity. The apologists will be out in numbers saying not all religion is like this and true believers are compassionate and believe in scripture in a gentle humanly way. Yet in doing so they ignore all the hate and death and ignorance their scriptures provide. They ignore how the dated text explains the creation of the world in date terms, terms which could only be applied at the very time those texts were created. And they certainly were created. Created by men not even women and then used to control them, which is exactly what has happened in the sad case of Kadisha Sultana.
