One country invading another is never a good thing… It makes for a volatile, unstable and aggressive world, particularly when sovereign states now have nuclear capability… Yet part of me feels we, in the U.K., were invaded by a hostile force. This government has attacked every value I grew up with of decency and compassion. They have attempted consistently to pass laws to undermine and reconfigure a fair, inclusive society. They have done so whilst promoting their own values of selfishness, greed, ignorance and loathing for anyone vulnerable or disadvantaged. We may not have been invaded by a foreign power… But those at the helm of this country do not wish us well. They pass laws to allow our waters to become riddled with sewage, effectively dance on graves during a pandemic, nepotistically embezzle or lose billions of public funds, empower corrupt mp’s, increase financial disparity, destroy dreams of stable safety and security and encourage bigotry and racism with their idiotic, uncaring policies. Invaders normally seek to divide and conquer new lands. This government is the most divisive of my lifetime… We can’t let them conquer whatever beauty we have left. Democracy can work for us. We still have the power to claw back the country they stole…
