Cameron’s toffs renew declaration of war on Britain’s sick, homeless and jobless

Posted on April 2, 2013 by admin

Three years ago the Nasty Party (aka the Conservatives) issued a declaration of war – not on some foreign nation, but on the people of Britain and the poor and dispossessed in particular. This week, via yet another economic onslaught, they have renewed their mission to widen the divisions further by introducing harsh measures that will guarantee even greater poverty. Since they took Government with the connivance of their Coalition partners (Tories by any other name) the Nasty Party has systematically reorganised the social and economic fabric of British society to the extent that all gains made by the working classes over the last fifty years have dissipated. The Nasty Party’s agenda is nothing less than a return to High Tory values where the poor remain poor and the rich get richer. It is Thatcherism on steroids, led by Eton toffs who, in turn, are milking the country dry and passing on the rewards to their tax-dodging chums in industry and banking. Thus, parts of Britain now resemble a Third World country. So, isn’t it time that the people of Britain take matters into their own hands and rise up against these nouveau aristocrats?
In June, a massive demonstration against austerity is planned, with the expectation that its numbers will exceed the two million that marched against the Iraq War. The demonstration is being organised by the Trades Union Congress. In the past such mass demonstrations have led to nothing as the TUC always prefers to put their faith in the return of a Labour Government. But the Labour Party recently indicated that if they win Government they will retain most if not all of the cutbacks in the mistaken belief that this is what the majority of people want. Also, simply relying on government to roll over, will not work. Gains made in the Sixties and Seventies and possibly the Noughties have been wiped out over the last three years, and this will happen again and again unless more substantial change is imposed upon the ruling class – by force!
If the June demonstration is to have any effect then it must become a catalyst for widespread revolt in every city, town and village throughout the country. The question should also be asked: will the June demonstration also act as a catalyst for a repeat of the 2011 riots that spread across the UK?
The June revolt could also learn a few tricks from comrades in southern Europe, particularly in Spain. Demonstrations – and riots – by themselves are not enough – real change can only happen if people organise in their workplaces, in their neighbourhoods, via occupations and strikes and by developing parallel economies, all geared to making government irrelevant.

In some parts of Britain unemployment is now 20-30%, with people made homeless and living off charity and soup kitchens – though it is in these parts where the anger is most palpable… Middlesborough, Scunthorpe, Bolton, Hull, Blackpool, Stoke, Barry, Wrexham, Paisley, Merthyr Tydfil, Burnley, Liverpool – the list goes on and on.
And it is perhaps in the last city named – on Merseyside – where we predict the class war fightback will begin. Watch this space…

Below are just some of the many changes that are due to take place, thanks to the 2013 Budget:
1. Anyone in social housing with a spare bedroom will lose 14% of their dole or housing benefit. Those with two or more spare bedrooms will lose 25%. Two-thirds of the people hit by the bedroom tax are disabled. It is estimated that around 700,000 people in social housing will lose an average of £728 a year.
2. Legal aid will be almost impossible to get, particularly affecting family law, child custody, immigration and employment cases.
3. Council tax benefits, claimed by 5.9 million low-income families, will be reduced by 10% and local services will be cut, so creating more unemployment.
4. 6,700,000 families will be worse off as a direct result of the new ‘benefits uprating’ scheme.
5. The long-term sick, the limbless and those dying are being forced into work or lose their benefits as part of the continuing scheme to stigmatise the disabled and the wider propaganda against anyone (‘scroungers’) unable to find work.
6. Work-for-dole schemes, which are specifically aimed at providing the Tories business pals with free labour, will continue too, thanks to new legislation being brought in to compensate for a recent court ruling that such schemes were illegal.
7. Privatisation of the National Health Service has begun: thus, it’s death knoll has been sounded.
Meanwhile Cameron’s millionaire friends will get a £42,000 per year tax cut and a further 13,000 income-millionaires will receive a tax cut of £100,000.
