THIS DISUNITED KINGDOM

We're all in this together, they say.

We're all in this together.

We're all in this together?

WTF?!

In January 2010 An Anatomy of Economic Inequality in the UK : Report of the National Equality Panel was published. It was shocking. Despite nearly 13 years of The Labour Party being in power the gap between rich and poor in the UK widened.

Britain is now one of the world’s most divided countries with children born into a wealthy family having far more advantages than those who are not.

The report shows that, while gender and ethnic background are all factors in determining a child’s success, it is the social class into which they are born that is still most important.

A detailed and startling analysis of how unequal Britain has become offers a snapshot of an increasingly divided nation where the richest 10% of the population are more than 100 times as wealthy as the poorest 10% of society.

Don't talk to me about Songs of Praise.

Don't talk to me about warm beer and cricket on the village green.

Don't talk to me about happy families living happy lives working in happy jobs earning happy wages.

This Disunited Kingdom is fascist, killing its old and sick while waging unnecessary imperialist wars, and growing more global and tyrannical by the day thanks to the state-sponsored terrorism that allowed Islamic Fundamentalist terrorism to thrive in London leading to a global Jihad and terror attacks which have so far conned our politicians into implementing the police state and sending our soldiers to fight many wars overseas to install puppet corrupt democracies.

We're all in this together?

F that!

ps Don't forget to give generously on Bankers in Need Day on 17th November, the day before Children in Need Day.
