Rebellion On Airstrip One - Just Testing! - Archive Blog from January 2014

  19 Jan 2014 Rebellion On Airstrip One - Just Testing! US troops in top secret WW2 deployment to Cheltenham England - sshhh mum's the word   T he British government is allowing foreign governments to spy on the British population and to make the way clear for these activities to descend to even lower depths of perversity... Home Secretary Theresa May is proposing the Communications Data Bill.  Big Sister is watching us, how very 21st century that concept is...plus...it is what poor batty old Theresa May thinks she is doing, namely Ronald McDonald's right-hand girl and champion of  every woman's right to be a power-crazed lunatic, scuttling the ship of state on behalf of the IMF and Wall Street, the global grand larceny, the pauperisation of our population to feed the bloated bellies of the corporate monster. Politics in Britain (and for that matter most of the world) are no longer a matter of supporting pol

My Pet (Scape) Goat 20 October 2007 Archive Post

Archive Post "My Pet (Scape)Goat" Oct 2007 My Pet (Scape)Goat (first posted on Y360 on 20 october 2007) Sep 11, '08 6:47 PM ENTRY 20 October 2007      My Pet (Scape)Goat-The Ghost President Part 2 of the Political Obituary of George W Bush The Story So Far..... I n my previous blog I critically examined the parameters of responsibility that attaches to the US president George W Bush following the Washington coup of 2001. This is a subject that has attracted a lot of attention amongst commentators and forensic historians and has been a focus for the anti-war movement in America and their mantra of 'Bush Knew'. How much Bush knew is open to speculation, but given his learning disability and penchant for taking time off work to have fun, there is a suggestion that the answer could very well be... not a lot. For reasons outlined in my previous blog, Bush may not be intellectually capable of knowing a lot about anything t

What is Socialism in England in the early 2020s: Part Two - Ecosocialism - Marxism for the 21st Century

  Further to my previous blog on the subject, a brief introduction to how I see socialism in contemporary England. Part Two brings the conversation up-to-date with an overview of ecosocialism as encapsulated in the slogan 'System Change Not Climate Change'.  I've been involved in the UK ecology movement since the 1970s when the current crisis was first flagged up, at that time mostly to the utter indifference of the majority of the population and pretty much all of the global corporate world. However, since the start of the twenty first century and especially in the last decade or so, ecosocialism has developed into what is now the dominent thesis of the English left and in fact all around the world. Things have changed. The reason for this environmental refocus has been the growing realisation that the current system of production and reproduction is quite simply unsustainable, the effects of climate change and pollution are now undeniable, whether we believe  the climate

England The Stateless State of the Nation

England The Stateless State of the Nation   The political scene across the British archipelago has not been as complex nor fractious as it is now since universal suffrage giving adults (over 21 years old) the vote irrespective of sex, income or property ownership finally became law in 1928. One problem we have here is an identity issue, who are we? This question is less problematic for our Celtic neighbours, the national identities of the Scots, or Welsh is better defined than that of the English. In Northern Ireland at the opposite end of the spectrum rigid national and cultural identities have at times in its history threatened to tear the place apart. We all have multiple nationalities we are citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the UK), we are also British and also seperately English, (Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish). There is a tendency for some people to use the terms English and British interchangeably and although this is incorr
