The UK Is One Of The Most Unequal Countries In The Developed World

One Of The Most Unequal Countries In The World.

The UK is one of the most unequal countries in the developed world.
The basis of this astounding, and growing, inequality is largely based on the disproportionate nature of our education system.
Our school set-up is one based on segregation.
It is of rich separated from poor.

Of sharp-elbowed parents set apart from those who take what they’re given.
Of fake religious converts, and those who do believe, partitioned from those who can’t find a corrupt priest willing to sign a form, or who are not religious.
It is fuelled by rich, posh people who don’t want their kids to mix with ‘rough types’.
By people who think devotion to a faith elevates them above non-believers.

And by those who think their child is brighter than anyone else’s so should go to a ‘better’ school than everyone else.
‘Everyone else’, by the way, is usually working-class white, black and Asian children of all academic abilities, but few opportunities.

Rapist Allowed Into Britain.
Parents reading the horrific case of how a Slovakian rapist was allowed into Britain to sexually abuse two little girls will be sickened.
Quite fairly, they will ask, ‘Why on earth was he ever allowed in the country?’
Surely checks should be made on those trying to come to Britain before they arrive and molest our children, not once they have already carried out their vile crimes.
Quite simply, they and their daughters have been let down by the system.

Tory Party Politicians Are Dim.
The Tory Party politicians are in fact as dim as you think they are, and there is no secret room containing smart people who actually know what they are doing.
They are whining, rude, dishonest, unpleasant, childishly belligerent in public while pathetically craven in private, and overall hollow.

More Than A Thousand People Are Killed At Work Every Year.

How much is a young life worth?
A lad of 16, I’m talking about old enough to smoke, but not buy a pint.
And not too old to be taken to work by his mum, at a local engineering factory in Bury, Lancs, to begin a Government-approved apprenticeship.
But too young to die there, for God’s sake.

That was the fate of Cameron Minshull, fatally injured by a lathe with no safety guards.
He died on January 8, 2013, and only this week did his family get some justice.
Meagre justice it is, too.
Zaffar Hussain, the sole director of Huntley Mount Engineering, was given an eight-month jail sentence, reduced from 12 months, at Manchester crown court.

Supervisor Akbar Hussain, Zaffar’s son, failed to take reasonable care for the safety of lathe operations.
He was sentenced to four months imprisonment, suspended for 12 months.
He was also ordered to do 200 hours of community service and fined £3,000, to be paid in monthly instalments of £200.
Zaffar and Akbar Hussain had pleaded guilty to individual offences under the Health and Safety at Work Act.

At an earlier hearing, the firm had also pleaded guilty to corporate manslaughter, and was fined £150,000, payable in six instalments of £25,000.
Lime People Training Solutions, the training company that placed Cameron with Huntley Engineering, and now in liquidation, was fined £75,000 after being found guilty of failing to ensure the health and safety of a person not their employee.

Cameron’s case is just the tip of an ugly, largely forgotten iceberg.
Death at work is more common than you think.
Official figures from the Health and Safety Executives for the last available year 2014/15 say that 142 people were killed and 78,000 injured.
Construction, agriculture and manufacturing (especially food) are the most dangerous trades.

But these statistics are massively understated, say industry hazard experts.
Hilda Palmer, of Manchester-based Families Against Corporate Killers, says “More than a thousand people are killed at work every single year. In fact, over the last decade, five under-19s have been killed every year and 5,000 injured”.
The Tories wanted to abolish or privatise the Health and Safety Executive, but found they couldn’t.

So they slashed its budget by more than 35% and plan further cuts.
They reduced the number of workplace inspections, and reclassified hazardous industries like engineering as “low risk”.
David Cameron has even blamed a fall in work experience placements for young people on failure to “simplify” i.e. dilute health and safety rules.
That is the climate of danger into which young people like Cameron Minshull are being sent.

All Media Are Harshly Censored And Punished.

I have visited China many times.
It is an exciting and energetic place.
But it is also an unpleasant, corrupt, cruel police state, in which people fear to speak their minds and opponents of the regime disappear.
All media are harshly censored and punished when they rebel.
The Communist Party, responsible for countless murders and one of the worst man-made famines in human history, still dominates the government, and its officials deal brutally with those who stand in their way.

They Don’t Like Women.

Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they?
They are all in favour of the unborn.
They will do anything for the unborn.
But once you are born, you are on your own.
Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months.

After that, they don’t want to know about you.
They don’t want to hear from you.
No nothing.
No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing.

If you are pre-born, you’re fine.
If you’re pre-school, you’re fucked.
Conservatives don’t give a shit about you until you reach ‘military age’.
Then they think you are just fine.
Just what they’ve been looking for.

Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.
Pro-life, pro-life.
These people aren’t pro-life, they’re killing doctors.
What kind of pro-life is that?
What, they’ll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it?

They’re not pro-life.
You know what they are?
They’re anti-woman.
Simple as it gets, anti-woman.
They don’t like them.
They don’t like women.
They believe a woman’s primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.

Reviving The Financial Parasite.
The great tragedy is that it should have been a final stop message for the global economy when the crash happened, but because the politicians have become so locked up in the belief that you can’t have a viable economy unless you have a large financial sector, they’ve spent their time reviving the financial parasite rather than reviving the economy that the parasite had actually brought to its knees.
