The transfer of Britain’s wealth to the then top 7% who
were to become the mega rich was the playing field Gordon Brown stepped onto.
He rolled up his sleeves and got to work; overhauled the welfare state, protecting
the most exposed and vulnerable which in turn protected local businesses that
had survived the nations super-drive and reliance on market forces. Pensioners
were protected through the ‘triple lock’, young people enjoyed the educational
maintenance allowance. Families weren’t confined to only being able to feed two
children receiving child support for each and every child, along with the
protection of the disabled through a fully open scheme managing the disability
living allowance.
Almost a decade on, ‘May’s’ Tories are waging war on the
civil rights of families, young people, the disabled, pensioners and children
under the cover of Brexit, fully supported by the local Conservative branches,
drawing in on their wider support mechanisms, with organisations such as the WI
who once helped those in need, now being seen as the Commandos of the political
right. The BBC a public corporation is currently consulting on behalf of May's
Government on the removal of the elderly persons free tv license.
In Northumberland the ‘Secret Tory Council’ are dealing
with the prime fundamental from their right wing core, how to keep up the
pretence of being a caring organisation whilst politically supporting Duncan
Smiths war on the poor.
The answer of course is to hand the poor over to the
Citizens Advice Bureau and then it’s not their fault.
At a recent West area council meeting CAB revealed they
have been swamped by people from Prudhoe who are suffering financial problems
and that’s before the roll out of Universal Credit and the further degradation
of business on our high streets who rely on any surplus cash from local people
being put through their tills.
The Tories of course are making a definite attempt to
draw in more people into their controlled society in rural areas by two-tiering
education against the wishes of their prime support. Is this an experiment in
eugenics to see if society who feel helpless and alone will doff their caps and
carry on regardless or will they organise a fightback and dismiss their
controllers?.
The secret council have of course replaced up to date
information on the council's web site regarding deprivation with info from 2015
to cover their tracks.
In 2017, Gordon Brown in the run up to the snap election,
predicted Mays deprivation
figures that were criticised by the United Nations recently.
I hope those who read this take notice and don’t remain
silent.
