Got That?

Those who profit, in the normal sense of the term, from the yet further privatisation of public services are all in favour of such privatisation. Just fancy that!

The only purpose of these “reports” and the like is to advocate that yet more public money be diverted to the only people whose opinion is ever asked, and thence to the Political Class that commissions and writes these the “reports” and the like. There should simply be no more such “reports” and the like. Ever.

But remember, there is only one way of being on the Right, and that is to be in all in favour of the “free” market, entirely regardless on its impact on such fripperies as national self-government (the only basis for international co-operation, and including the United Kingdom as greater than the sum of its parts), local variation, historical consciousness, family life (founded on the marital union of one man and one woman), the whole Biblical and Classical patrimony of the West, agriculture, manufacturing, small business, close-knit communities, law and order, civil liberties, academic standards, all forms of art, mass political participation within a constitutional framework, respect for the absolute sanctity of each individual human life from the point of fertilisation to the point of natural death, the constitutional and other ties among the Realms and Territories having the British monarch as Head of State, the status of the English language and the rights of its speakers both throughout the United Kingdom and elsewhere, and the rights of British-descended communities throughout the world. So there is absolutely nothing unconservative about, among so many other examples that might be cited, the transfer to foreign interests of great swathes of our economy and public services. And don’t you dare suggest that there is. Got that?

Likewise, remember that there is only one way of being on the Left, and that is to be mercilessly hostile to each and all of the things listed above. So there is absolutely nothing anti-Socialist about this undercutting of the entire reason why anybody might want the universal and comprehensive Welfare State, and the strong statutory and other (including trade union) protection of workers, consumers, communities and the environment, the former paid for by progressive taxation, the whole underwritten by full employment, and all these good thing delivered by the partnership between a strong Parliament and strong local government. Or why anybody might want there to be trade unions, co-operatives, credit unions, mutual guarantee societies, mutual building societies and similar bodies, as well as an organised political voice for such. And don’t you dare suggest that there is. Got that?
