The pomp, the arrogance of it all, the golden throne and the billion pound hat. Then she told us all about how her government would create work for the aspiration nation. The Queen's speech.
You could not make this shit up.
The news may or may not tell you what to think but it does tell you what to think about. The battle ground has been set for the next general election to be fought on immigration, welfare and Europe. The big loser in all this? The people who are at the bottom of the rung.
The Queen's speech at a glance on the BBC website fails to mention any of the things regarding welfare but it does have some interesting items such as the Water Bill, the Defence Reform Bill
and the Anti-Social Behaviour Bill.
The Water Bill will enable companies to trade water amongst themselves during period of high water stress. What that means for us is the potential for dangerous precedents being set on the one of the most precious things of all, something these people would like to view as a commodity and not a natural right.
The Defence Reform Bill will seek to change the way in which arms are procured and allow for a change in the way that arms are currently bought. The fact that global defence export spending is set to go from $180bn a year up to $400bn a year by 2014 whilst we live in a recession and grandmothers are being forced to commit suicide, they continue to find ever more innovating ways to get their weapons of mass destruction.
The Anti Social Behaviour Bill is more about dealing with symptoms rather than dealing with the root causes of crime, namely the socio-economic issues we have in the world.
Time after time the Fuhrer referred to her government and how they would set out the path for growth in the economy, set up new chances for the youth with apprenticeships and do away with red tape by deregulating services. She said she and her government were committed to supporting people who have saved for their retirement, whilst at the same time they are raiding the savings of others by pricing them out of their pension schemes or making them unobtainable and spending that money on waging illegal wars, blowing off the the arms and legs of children in the middle east and of our children being sent out there to do it for them.
Between the government, the Queen and the mainstream media they have framed the agenda for the next general election to be based around the ideology of hatred and mistrust. The topics will be immigration, the EU and welfare. How we rise to this battle will determine how or if future generations
prosper.
