I care. Do you?

I don’t care about the major shareholders of Thomas Cook, I do care about the employees, their families and those who have lost money paying for holidays they won’t now have, or are stranded upon. I care about the folks who now will likely lose their savings and pensions due to bad investments by the dealers on the stock exchange gambling the pension pots.

I care that the directors took millions in bonuses despite the company being in trouble. That is theft. They need prison. I care that out twat of a prime minister can pay millions on advertising his fecking up Brexit but can’t at least shore up the company to ensure folks did not lose out.

Obviously Johnson and his corrupt cronies did not have shares in this one, or got out using insider information some time ago more likely.

This is the government investing billions into HS2 that is now looking to lose hundreds of billions not millions. That put hundreds of billions not millions into a nuclear weapons system we don’t even control and does not work, that stripped out our NHS and sold out our steel, miners and shipbuilders to overseas companies to make personal fortunes.

I do care that we now live in the most corrupt and cruel society in the world. We don’t have capital punishment but we kill off the poor, the weak, the vulnerable, the sick and the disabled, then we look the other way and pretend it’s not happening. We’ll I can promise it fecking is. Then muppets who know shit all, that say I don’t do politics, or I don’t like Corbyn because the Sun, the Daily Mail, The Times, The Express or The BBC says….. Go on to vote Conservative or even Lib Dem.

I DO CARE ABOUT YOU, ABOUT ME, ABOUT OUR KIDS AND ABOUT OUR FUTURE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

War Sides

Are you British? Well does it matter? Today its about loyalty to corporations not country. Business starts and runs war. Land is now not the goal. Profit is.

Every war since the beginning of time was based on greed and lust for power. We had flags of the leaders of clan, village, town, county and country. Now however they are just symbolism for which the big companies can shelter under.
When America goes to war McDonald’s invariable go with them, as do Coca-Cola and so many other brands.
Soon DPM and Digital Camoflauge will incorporate logos of firms sponsoring the battle or war.
We already know arms companies, oil companies and even real estate and banks profit from a big war, but its also the other ‘investors’ that come out Trumps (sorry for the pun) too.
War is no longer about defence or was ever really about humanity, but now its more about profit than borders. Borders do not really exist for the real protagonists. It doesn’t matter if you came from Britain, America, China or Russia. If there is profit in your fighting and dying then its what will happen.
Forget colour or religion, it doesn’t matter if you are under one flag or another, you are simply a unit of currency to those who hold the true power in this corrupt immoral world.
So forget waving the Union Jack or Stars and Stripes, you might as well be waving Shell, BP or Burger King.
It really is that simple. Sad isn’t it?

Soldier in the war of Depression

If someone is clearly depressed please don’t say chin up. It really doesn’t help.

Depression isn’t feeling a bit sad its an illness and really does kill. I am sure you mean well but it’s one of the worse phrases like ‘pull yourself together’ or man up or it’s not that bad. The list goes on. I know you likely really do care I pro. Ise but see depression for what it is.
Depression is a cruel and deadly illness and so misunderstood.
People with depression may seem attention seeking, irritating or even weak, but they are not weak, they are likely dealing with the worst demons imaginable and often cannot even see nevermind understand their enemy.
The wrong word or phrase can make things far worse. It’s difficult enough admitting you are depressed, are mentally unwell, the stigma is horrible, society is cruel in the way is deals with sufferers of any mental health or chronic illness.
So if your tempted to say. ‘it could be worse’ or ‘there are people who are far worse off than you’ don’t. Just do not say anything. You are not being supportive, you are minimising a contrition that is too often fatal and always torturous.
A simple, ‘I am here’ or ‘ready to listen’ or even a hug (not ‘hugs hun’) but a physical hug or hold of hand can save a life.
No depression is ‘mild’, it steals emotion and breads fear and despair. It causes irrational thoughts, living nightmares and way too often causes a person to escape in the only way left.
So thanks for reading, I am no psychologist nor psychiatric practioner, I sadly am a fighter and like too many others already have, may end up losing the war.
Also only say you are there for someone if you truly are. Being let down does not help.
Your friend.
Simon. (Jonesy)

Change must be

We live with the most corrupt and immoral people controlling our destiny and very lives. Those in government are out for self sating of greed. A large number of those in other parties, sadly including our own are not much better, but ours is changing slowly.

Those in power have not been this oppressive and cruel since King Charles had his ears separated from his neck.
We can and must stop this from continuing. This is a time in history that no action is to be judged as collusion.
We cannot and must not be drawn into fighting on the streets, but we can strike back, with strikes and social disruption. We can block trade, cut profits and destroy their ability to make sacrifices of us to their divine God of greed.
We are not separated by race, religion or culture, we are deliberately made to hate our own so we do not focus ire upon our masters.
We own no loyalty to the government or Crown. We can no longer be instructed by the press and media. We need to start to think for ourselves.
Make banners, wear t-shirts get on the streets but not where directed by those controlled by the government and establishment.
We need to keep voting, but we also need to refocus the people. We need to make folk understand that these vile ones are not our natural leaders, we all breathe, eat and yes poo.
Just because we were nor born into money, taught at Eton or Harrow does not mean our lives are invalid or that we cannot take hold of our own destinies. Time to end this regime.
Socialism is not communism, it is fairness, it is everyone having an equal say, a good basic living standard and every single person rich or poor mattering as much as anyone else.
Let them have ivory towers, all it does is separate and isolate them from seeing the true beauty of our world. We can happily assist them by ensuring they have no escape from their false existence. They do not understand community, that’s why in the 70’s and 80’s they desperately tried to destroy ours. Sadly with some success.
Time to rebuild our identity. Not British, English Irish Scottish or Welsh, but the one that identifies us as human.

So no more excuses, no more collusion. Its our time.
The fight back must begin.

The cloud

I wish I was a cloud floating free in the sky.
I wish I were a cloud never a need to die.
I wish I was a cloud floating high above the earth.
I wish I were a cloud with no concern of my true worth.
I wish I was a cloud floating high above all of you.
I wish I was a cloud watching over my select few.

Who are we?

Who are we to comment upon Israel locking up an entire populace, to their killing and maiming men, women and yes children?

Who are we to judge them for their siege upon another state, promoting disease and starvation of individuals, families and community?

Who are we to shout out against their shooting people, their sending in tanks and troops to destroy opposition to their will?

Who are we to condemn them for burning crops, homes and villages?
Who are we to be angry at their manipulation of the truth, calling anyone who stands against their tyranny antisemitic, a racist and a hater?

Who are we to defy their threats?

Who are we?

We are legitimate
We are humane
We are moral
We are justice
We are the world

Corrupt braying cattle

Why is parliament akin to a public school dorm? Oh because its filled with over privileged arseholes that are emotionally and morally deficient.

I am not sure why those few who didn’t attend Eton or Harrow fall into the same behaviours.
These are the people governing us, making decisions upon our lives and even deaths.

Surely enough is enough. We want dedicated people with wisdom, empathy, care and understanding, with strength of character and a voice for us governing our lives, not these braying greedy fools.

Why is it so hard?

Our lives are not just for their amusement and games.

Brexit anger?

I will give you all a brand new car if you drive me to the betting shop today. Now obviously I won’t but if you drove me on the belief I would, then you would be acting in the same way that millions of those who voted in the referendum did. You would be acting upon lies.
I presume you then would feel a little angry and upset, unless of course that after seeing my empty bank balance and terrible credit rating you still believed my lies, or were too ashamed to admit you were tricked? I suppose some would have just wanted to take me to the shop for the ride out? Some who believed that if I won my bet I would pay out so worth the risk? Some who just wanted to get out of the house.
This is kinda what Brexit was. This is why people get angry about holding a new vote now the lies have been outed.

The chances are that if I then asked you to take me again to the bookies you might refuse.

Revolution or just vote Labour?

Happy to follow you in a revolution my friends, even those who see Labour as the enemy as much as the Tories. We just need a few more million folk to join us. But if we can’t achieve that then we have to rid the Tories at any cost.

Let’s think on this, it is now to be honest obvious that most of the unprofessional, self serving and immoral Labour MP’s face deselection prior to any election. That’s why some who previously were working to their own ends now are attempting to either look better or jumping ship. The ones left will be the moral and hard working ones, I hope anyway. Labour are looking at the bigger picture. They are not stopping Brexit they are slowing it down to either get a better deal where people will not suffer and die, or if that is not achievable they will let the people chose but with true information now not just lies.
People say they are concerned about homeless ex service folk. We have seen that the Conservative Government has displayed a gross lack of support for men and women who have been effected physically, mentally and emotionally by their time within the services. People who have lost limbs, seen friends die or be maimed, blown up, and who have experienced the true horror not the Hollywood vision of combat.
Men and women who put their lives at risk because they want to protect us, yet in reality it seems have been placed in a true hell, without the proper kit, to protect oil, money and increase the power and control of the new feudal Lords, – the big Corporations.
LABOUR WILL NOW ENSURE OUR SOLDIERS, SAILORS AND AIR PERSONNEL ARE NOT PLACED AT RISK AT THE BIDDING OF GREED!
Labour will also put in place housing, support and health including mental health services to ensure that these brave and often unsung heroes, even if they do not see themselves as heroes they joined up to keep us safe, to me that’s a hero, are given every chance to function and develop their lives upon their leaving the forces.
Talking of mental health services, do you realise how poor these have become under Austerity? Well unless you can wait several months and are about to murder someone or actually stand infront of the pschiatrist and set yourself alight they are pretty much non existent. Well in my experience. I have seen family members lose everything because there is no support. I have a brother who I love, but cannot talk to, because he is angry at me for trying to protect him and his son. I see him come closer to death everyday and there is now nothing I can do to save him. No one will help, there are no resources to help.
I Myself suffer and each day barely survive depression and anxiety. All I got from mental health was ‘keep taking the pills’. Will that be my epitaph? “he stopped taking the pills”.
Labour will reverse the lack of funding in Mental Health, in the NHS, and will increase the budgets for all the services, you, me, our family and friends rely on. Austerity was a lie to make more profit our of us. It was initially to support the banks after they gambled our money and lost, now they are all profitable again, but neither they or the companies and individuals that own them are offering to bail out the country are they?
So how will Labour fund this?
BY TAXING THE CORPORATIONS, BUSINESSES AND SUPER RICH. NOT TAXING THE POOR, SICK, DISABLED AND VULNERABLE.
Bare in mind that unless you are in the high earner bracket Labour’s Taxation plans will not effect you. Companies like Starbucks, Costa, McDonald’s, Walmart will actually be made to pay tax and not allowed to evade or avoid it.
Labour do support a free society, and some part of that involves free movement of people, within the accepted framework, that does not mean illegal immigrants. Firstly Labour will not give free housing, your jobs or our money to illegal immigrants. If they are illegal they do not want to apply for anything, they hide, because if they are found out they are detained and usually deported. I have been in a detention centre. They are not nice at all. Think of a huge prison for families.
Refugees do get help, but that is after they have proved beyond a doubt that they have a life threatening reason not to return to their own country. Then they have no recourse to public funds, if they are housed it is usually in a private rented slum. Not the council house you are waiting for. They do not get our benefits they get vouchers for food and essentials. And not a lot of those.
EU migrants only get the same that we can expect if we go to another EU country. But you can always believe the fascists and right wingers who maybe lie to you to focus your anger away from them?
The ending of Austerity will end the war on the weak, vulnerable, ill and disabled within our country. That’s me for sure, but maybe you, or your folks, friends or children?
Labour also are going to try to hold those to account that have waged the war on us, but you can carry on believing being disabled is a good scam if you want, I mean I gave up my career to live on a pittance, to be in constant pain, to soil myself, to lose all I had, including friends and family. I really love feeling like I have no worth. Maybe it’s because we are stripped of hope and humanity that the establishment see us as such easy targets. Who defends us? You? Not if you vote Tory or even Lib Dem you don’t.
Anyway these are my thoughts. So any Che Guervara wannabes that can muster over a couple of million folk including the army, airforce and any Navy not deployed to protect the oil companies and Donald’s invasion plans, please let me know, I will happily sign up, if however all you can do is dream of change then maybe the best option is to vote Labour, end Austerity and work on sorting the rest of the shit pile out?
Your decision,
Your friend I hope.
