Advent Calendar 7: Why Can't Brexit Just Fuck Off?

Uh oh, looks like Kay Burley's been caught with her pants proverbially down. The (not) apologies from celebs caught breaking lockdown rules (and they can easily afford the fine) are ridiculous. Utterly tortuous appeals to a moral standard they expect others but never of themselves. It was all a moment of madness so here I am, on social media, virtue signalling while facing zero consequences other than some ire from the commoners. They don't matter so what do I care. Why do they even bother with this ritual?

Rota Ora, a singer so I'm told, has twice broken lockdowns, flown across the world to prostitute herself for the rich who think covid doesn't apply to them. She can afford it, I imagine the fee she gets singing for rich old businessmen in the middle east will cover that and then some. There is no justice in a capitalist society when the elite can afford the consequences and keep going. Laws only exist to curtail the behaviour, shape it, even, of the working class. That isn't to say we, the working class, ought to flout those rules - where authority can be justified (such as the science of pandemics) one ought to obey it. 

The chances of Brexit now hang on dinner between two obnoxious capitalists. If there isn't something more apposite to sum up the state of this rotten system than this I do not know it. No doubt, as they discuss the lives of millions, their bellies will be kept full on anything but the Sainsbury's Basic range. That's for us plebs. They will stuff themselves on a meal of many courses, and the most exclusive menu written in a language that only exists for food. Let us hope the cheeseboard has something that can help the economy.

Next week I have a third appointment with Fedcap employment. The latest in a long line of social schemes/enterprises set up to profit from the unemployed. These schemes are a bit like being a landlord: you profit from the tenant. In this case the unemployed person. In other words we exist for them to exploit. What is sad is that the money, which could help, will never directly go to the client. It will go to service, in part, the profits of the service provider. Consequently you will never see the full investment, despite all the promises. This is just how the system works, regardless of how helpful, or not, the people in question might be. In my experience, none of them can or seem to want to really do anything but the bare minimum. They employ people, spending even more of 'your' money who don't really have anything to offer. I could spend the money the state pays them, albeit indirectly, much more efficiently and, hopefully, effectively. This is the false economy of the world of the unemployed. Unfortunately it will never change because the system isn't there to help you, it's a gravy train. A bit like when capitalists claim their system works because one can start at the bottom and become the head honcho through elbow grease. In truth, the boss is never recruited from the masses, they are headhunted from among their own. When was the last time Barclays recruited the cleaner to run the bank, even though both will take you to the cleaners.

Ha ha.
