Last Saturday, after watching the vicious class warriors and revolutionaries attacking their scapegoats, the police, capitalism etc, do the naïve misty-eyed liberals still think that the left have any regard for real people?
Touted by the TUC as a “March for the Alternative”, their idea of an alternative is Cuba or North Korea: They get the cream, the masses impoverished in equality. Ed Miliband, in his speech proved that for all of his education, he didn’t have a clue. This protest was nothing to do with fairness, tax avoidance, the cuts or democracy, it was old style left-wing fascism at work, with naïve students and guilt-ridden middle-class liberals the cannon fodder to well-paid hard-left TUC dinosaurs and their paid-for sponsored Labour lapdogs.
With the usual talking heads waffling about spontaneous anger, why no comment on the spontaneous petrol and ammonia bombs, flares and coin-filled fireworks, nor the spoiled brats in their designer clothes or the masked anarchist minders, out to cause damage?
How many of these protesters actually work for a living or realise that, in attacking Lloyds Bank, the working classes as stakeholders pick up 41 per cent of the cost? And why not target that hypocritical mouthpiece of the left, the Guardian, which has just offshored to the Cayman Islands? Here in Harrow, Labour is so desperately worried about the cuts that no expense is being spared on new directors, shiny new computers, Blackberries, laptops and toys while borrowing millions. Oh and let’s not forget the £45,000 extra handed to the trades unions, but not to the vulnerable.
But the most offensive sick joke was the TUC demeaning the events in Tahrir Square and the Egyptian people’s genuine oppression, by comparing it with Trafalgar Square and their nasty vindictive class-war. There is no such oppression here, nor anything like the poverty seen elsewhere, and for those hankering for a revolution, I hope that as the inevitable consequence, in the interests of natural justice, equality and fairness that you are its first victims.
And finally, as the “protest” was supposedly about “cuts” and “resources” and with Labour’s keenness on compliance, I would be interested to know how many of the class warriors, TUC generals, petty revolutionaries, squatters, students and anarchists filled out their Labour-designed census forms to mitigate the effects of the cuts.
