I have been ashamed by the new lows that the British Media have reached this week , its at times like this that we can all see the real influence of those who pay what appears to be a army of pipers, in the interests of the few. Make no mistake the British people are being robbed of a fare and free election by the media barons !
I will never be able to support anything other than a socialist agenda personally , but above all else I believe in democracy and trust the wisdom of the electorate, however I have to admit that the current Tory “leadership” and the lack of media fairness actually scares me, this current bunch appear to lack any level of morality or empathy , they treat the processes of democracy and those they should represent with contempt ! .
The current political climate in Britain feels like the early days of a political coup to me !
As a working photographer, I photographed many of the “old skool” Tories as part of my work , I knew they did not represent my best interests or understand the everyday economic challenges of ordinary working class folk ,but I never feared them , to see Heseltine speak on a anti Tory platform this week shocked me, but it did not surprise me !
A combination of elitism , entitlement and social apathy make this current crop of Tories unusually Dangerous , especially if your one of the more vulnerable members of UK society !
Don’t be distracted by the flotsam and jetsam of today’s political debates , focus on the growing numbers of children living in poverty , focus on those sleeping rough and focus on those relying on food-banks ! These are the unforgivable effects of political austerity created by this malicious uncaring government !
This election is a “Oven Ready” opportunity to get rid of this deceitful, divisive, delusional Tory leadership & government , Do the right thing !
I’m not sure if I should reread Animal Farm or 1984 this weekend as both titles are beginning to read more like none fiction as each day passes ?
George Orwell is beginning to take on the vibe of a soothsayer !
Until next time , keep it real ….
