These are the times in which we live. The great pandemic of 2020. Our leaders have failed us. They are not there to govern, but to rule. To make this their playground. One now that is infected. Moving forward, as we do so, slowly, we must now fight. As never before. There will be, in the period subsequent to this suffering, a realignment. A sharp reaction, pulling the yoke back, tighter than before. People have seen how vital the NHS is, a worse outcome the Tories could never wish for. Our eyes have been opened, or should have been (for many this will not be the case, and they must be approached), there is no return. I have often wondered, as you have I am sure, what it is to live through a period of perceptible dizzying change.
Consider; what support has been given throughout? These fuckers have gripped the levers of power more tigtly than ever before. We stand in the playground of giants, yet we are bigger than everyone of these clay-footed monsters. We just give them the power over us, like nightmares. Although many have been furloughed, many more are still forced into work that isn't essential or could be done differently. It isn't. Some of course have received the help they deserve, but it hasn't been enough - and it has been offered through gritted teeth by a man richer than the Queen. How can this be acceptable? Cabinet ministers only act to help children when faced with vote-jeopardizing shame. Schools were only shut at the last minute with no provision to help staff or pupils. Labour's now-prescient plans to offer what the media risibly calls 'broadband communism' are of course dismissed, yet children are forced to stay at home while the government cries crocodile tears about education. To translate, the mean the rental income from schools and of course the danger of a new world being seen. One where the systems and hierarchies of old, they benefit from, are pulled into the disinfecting light. The truth is shone upon their claims and are found wanting.
How many times can I say the same thing? I won't tire of it though; it is a vital message. As vital as the meals Tory donors are now profiting from providing. Money that the government spitefully gave to them, and not the families. That is teachable. Kids will learn more from that than they will from what Gavin Williamson wants for them.
The best education is revolution.
