My dear fellow Britons,
So here we are at the end of the second decade of the 21st
Century on our little island home. A
home that has caused an inordinate amount of trouble for the planet over the years.
But let us not weep over our history right now, though we
occasionally should. Unprovoked
war. Slavery. Empire.
Let us look at where we are right now. A multi-cultural nation of black, brown,
yellow and white people. All the races! All the genders! That's what puts the great in GB.
A pseudo-monarchy, yes, but maybe our noble Prince Andrew
will be putting an end to that nonsense fairly soon.
A haven for money-laundering crims? Well yes, maybe so. A financial sector that is the envy of the
world? Maybe also a diseased sore? A corrupt incestuous oligarchic aristocracy
of land grabbing bandits? A
self-entitled, privately educated toffery?
A culture rooted in Jeremy Kyle style stupidity? A haven for racist brutes? A divided land? A London-obsessed urbanity?
Yes of course we are all of that.
But we are also a land of amazingness. Of incredible people with a unique ability to
laugh in the face of immoral power. We
are a land of artists and poets and the greatest musicians and sculptors and basketweavers
and storytellers. We are a land of
warriors of peace as well as war. Of
philosophers on the doorsteps. Of
ordinary people with ordinary decency and wisdom. Wit seeds through the society like a golden
thread of ironic laughter. We are a people who created the NHS and the BBC and a financial support system for any in our society who fall on hard times. It is the envy of the World! Pity the poor
sods who have to lead us!
We are on the cusp of an election on 12th
December 2019 that will determine the lives of a whole generation to come. Maybe the future of our dear Earth and of all
our wonderful non-human brothers and sisters.
The choice is between humanity as an end in itself and humanity
as fuel for the profit of Corporations.
The choice boils down to- Are you for life? Or are you for money?
Are we here to realise something beyond our own limited lives,
for a future promise? Or are we here to
be plundered for profit?
We have a vote on 12th December. Nobody gave it to we working folk! Our ancestors fought and bled for it!
Please make it count and vote for The Labour Party or vote
tactically to keep out the Tories-they are a cancer in our society that could
well destroy us all. You must know this to be true.
Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones and may you have a liberating and transformative, healthy and love-filled 2020!
My kindest regards,
heartofbalance
