"Kill the poor"

"Kill the poor"

Ah yes...

‘The sum beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight.’

The Gospel according to the (not so very far) Right?

Yet Jello Biafra is very much of the left

...and I’m no disciple...but I think the sentiments were written in the tone of sardonic satire, Parky...bit like your own comment.

Hard to believe that was almost forty years ago...sadly it seems even more relevant today.

[Geoff Parkstone]

Indeed so, but the threat is less down to the creation of the neutron bomb and more based on mankind's suicidal headlong plummet into resource wars and global environmental destruction.

and of course religion

At least 2 of my learned friends seem unaware that Farage is no longer a member of UKIP...... he heads the new Brexit Party. That's all by the by anyway as I don't see Farage getting elected to Parliament anyway so he couldn't be Prime Minister.

Let's all stay in this damnedawful monolith and act as 5th columnists and destroy it from within.......

A lovely idea but, as only the EU Commission is allowed to put policy forward for putting into Law, it aint gonna happen.

Not sure anyone’s mentioned Farage on here for a while MA, but I for one am all too well aware of his new ‘incarnation’.
He is a political opportunist of the highest order imo, someone who has built a career and won fame and fortune on the basis of being able to offer the voice of populism some semblance of articulate ‘respectability’ however deceitful and artificial that may be.
Fortunately, as someone I regard as the ultimate hypocrite, he is no nearer being elected to Parliament than he ever has been.
He is, again imo, the single most negative and divisive current political presence in this country and the only person who has benefited from the actions of Nigel Farage over the last decade or so is...Nigel Farage himself who, while the country as a whole has been thrown into three years of increasing chaos, has done very nicely indeed.

Not on your Xmas card list then?

By creating a new party that not enough people will vote for, serves only to divide the overall vote further, raising the possibility of a hung parliament. Easy meal ticket for Mr Farage, hardly going to come out the "bad guy" of his supporters. I share your opinion of him, though I feel that way about most of them.

Wow...that’s a (pleasant) surprise Adi.
I know the rest of them are a largely pretty unimpressive bunch but at least they stand for something however much we may disagree.
Farage is purely negative...happy to knock things down and cause national confusion and doubt, but never offers a solution while in the meantime he increases his own personal wealth and the value of his EU provided pension.

Ah but who is funding this Brexit party? Its not Farage thats for sure! AS for who has benefitted from his actions well theres a cabal of the elite very wealthy people who if he gets his way and convinces those ignorant ****s who think he's on their side who will benefit very nicely to the tune of billions and its us suckers who will be paying that!
