MURDOCH’S PUPPET

Being a British citizen and recently having spent a lot of time living and working in the UK I’ve being paying a lot of attention to Westminster politics…Probably more than what’s happening here. I feel horrible about today’s election result. David Cameron confounds polls to win a second five-year term in office for his conservative party. Imagine hearing the same news about Abbott (praying that won’t happen)

The UK has a massive trade deficit, a skills deficit, mass unemployment in terms of zero hours contracts. The gap between rich and poor has gone back to the 1920s, and a million people including those who work use foodbanks. Local councils are being forced to hand over school assets, and the NHS (Medicare equivalent) is being forced to hand over services to profit making companies.

I was recently in the dreary grey gloom of it all whilst unblocking toilets for a drainage company in Dorset. Each morning I’d cycle past a UKIP branch (Far Right anti-immigration party), arrive at the office for a coffee always to see a new copy of THE SUN newspaper (Rupert Murdoch Propaganda) on the table for the plumbers to flick through. If anything the newspaper is a big fat insult from the elite to the ordinary working class. The lads I worked with couldn’t see that though and it made me really concerned about the state of the country and generally our planet. The headlines may as well say here suckers take a bite of this ridiculous story because you’re not worth anything other than a manufactured fiction of reality. They’re trying to keep them in this low vibrational state of hate, bad news and topless women. Its time to destroy the agenda-driven sections of the media that focus on divisive, superficial stories which serve only to distract us from the main game: inequality, corruption, environmental exploitation and the immorality of our governing and business elite.

I truly thought that times were changing, that old media didn’t have the same sort of power it used to… Evidently that is not the case, David Cameron is the British Prime minister with more seats than before! after all thats happened.

Feeling very disillusioned.
