Make no mistake about it
The Bullingdon Boys are out to stuff the feral underclass
Here's an interesting extract from an article I stumbled across on the internet on a site called 'Revolution' by the social youth movement, it speaks volumes of how our youths are reeling in agony at what's happening in this world of ours. Their views will be in stark contrast to our privileged friends shown in the picture above, if you look hard you'll recognise some of them.
"The millionaires made sure that the Tories had more than double what Labour had to spend for the general election of 2010, and more importantly, they made damn sure that the Tories made a decent attempt to dupe people with nice-sounding rhetoric about “big society”, “fairness” and “change”. In reality they wanted to break up the welfare state with a package of cuts so severe they would take Britain back to the 1900s. They want to finish the job that Thatcher started, handing over state-run businesses to private companies, so that they could profit from essential industries."

I felt compelled to post a reply....
"Perhaps we are crediting Government too much in allowing us to think that legal aid costs have simply become too prohibitive so as to justify further expenditure. Likewise, maybe we should challenge any notion that the big society (whatever that may be) agenda is all about self-empowerment and encouraging people to stand on their own two feet and make their own way in life; - as if it were some kind of survival of the fittest contest.
Government's savings on the legal aid bill make no moral, logical or fiscal sense whatsoever. If cut backs were genuinely being executed on such grounds, we simply wouldn't be seeing all the cuts being made in one area; - social welfare law. Far more cost effective savings could be made in high cost civil and criminal cases; particularly those relating to the financial sector. Arguably a good case could be that such costs could and should be met of the profits derived from within our commercial world. After all it can reward success, why should it not act with some kind of corporate social responsibility towards those in society who cannot share or indulge in the wealth creation agenda?
No, Government's moves in axing social welfare help are to deliberately and wilfully disable the poor and the less fortunate. It effectively does away with their right to challenge the state by removal of basic advocacy of their words of discontent. We are moving from what some would turn the nanny state to a state of sinister authority. It makes the process of pressing ahead with untried and tested programmes of reform all too easy; - by removing all mechanisms of effective challenge - 'success' is all but guaranteed.
Government is hell bent on implementing wealth generation from within the cities and by attracting all manners of disputes and traders from all around the world. It flies in the face of all that government says about reducing litigation and for that matter reducing immigration. We seem to be okay with inviting anyone to the UK providing they bring prosperity.
And that's why government needs to free up 'unproductive' space to attract wealth to our cities. Those that stand in the way need to be uprooted and cast adrift to fend for themselves. The last thing this government wants is an army of social welfare advocates who stand up for those who need to be moved on.
We are becoming an abhorrent state; - it makes me quite ashamed to think we call ourselves 'Great Britain'.

Frankly, it absolutely apalls me in this day and age that we have allowed this hard core bunch of over privileged upstarts to take centre stage in the running of our country. I've nothing against millionaires or for that matter the social upper classes, but what I absolutely hate is the way we've allowed ourselves to be bullied into submission by this lot. Who on earth do they think are to lecturing us in the values of so called 'austerity'?
This is a group of over privileged individuals who'd think nothing of tipping a top class restaurant an amount equal to how much one of my clients would take home in a week. They've got where they are through mere good fortune, protected inheritances and protected wealth; - these are not citizens of our country, they regard themselves above all that by virtue of their elitism.
There is something horribly Dickensian about all of this, it's taking a backward step when we should be moving ahead in a modern society with progressive values in the promotion of social responsibility. Make no mistake about it, the Bullingdon Boys care not one iota about social injustice; - they have no perception over fairness, they are obsessed with power and wealth generation - it's all they know, understand and care about. The Bullingdon boys have no conscience and nor do they have an inclination to share anything, it's how their upbringing moulds them and I'm sorry to say it will never change.
Perhaps, the social youth movement is right; - we need a revolution and we need it fast.
Curious as to who's who in the photo?
