Mason Cult Political Rant

In 1957, the Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan told a Conservative rally in Bedford that the people of the UK had never had it so good. It may seem as though we are more distant than ever from the days of the post-war boom, just before the swinging sixties crashed into the seventies and on to the demolition of industry under Thatcher. For example, now more than 100,000 people have lost jobs due to the impact of the government’s response to the corona virus pandemic. Young people see dreams crushed due to failings in the exam system and the prospect of a no deal Brexit is written about in the pen of the doom-mongering journalists.

Yet, I will argue that, despite the tragic trail of the virus, we have, in fact, never had such a great opportunity to reflect, rebuild and restore this country as a centre for industry and to build a much fairer and more socialist state. We need the government to commit to a policy of buying British; supermarkets to be encouraged to invest in UK produce, which is guaranteed by stringent UK quality control. Our universities have shown magnificent flair in working towards finding a vaccine for the virus and distance learning opportunities have flourished. We need to invest further into research opportunities and technology. With technology comes all the requisite sub-industries and trades. Our young people are willing to work and need apprenticeships that lead to jobs. The care sector can flourish if its staff are paid better for the hard work they undertake. Yet this renaissance needs to be centrally controlled.

Now we have left the EU and learnt how unwise it is to have a country that depends so greatly on the service sector, we can repair the damage done over the past fifty years. In 1957, we may have had a flourishing economy, but it flourished largely because nationalised services and industries formed the backbone of the economy and led to a robust infrastructure. If we aim towards the instigation of a more socialist government with a policy for egalitarian investment and nationalisation then once again, we can have it good we can have it very good indeed.

Mason Cult Religious Rant

There are times when I think religion has stayed around to promote war and wouldn’t dare to question the word of God, the one they could never see but could only hint at what indeed was or is the opium of mind that sets the scene for the carnage of death and destruction how infinitely pathetic is man. So many years ago women were burnt at the stake accused for what was termed the practice of witchcraft, when the persecuted person was probably disabled and poor. I am always fascinated and horrified at how power corrupts, people are manipulated by leaders, many of whom are bullies and ultimate cowards. I think the horrific death of dictators is true Karma, have we the weak and meek found a way to counter this harmful arena.

I think not. In the current times of our existence the reality is grim pure social stratification of the masses A, B, C and on, but one aspect missing is kindness within humanity, the brain washing by government and media is profound, telling us how one should be. This causes harmful shock waves among the young and vulnerable.

Continuous false bench marks to reach out to the body, the vehicle of the mind has lost it’s quest for the insecurity of glamorised apparent perfection which is vivacious and fleeting. The hope factor in this, at this time, is zero. As so much is controlled by the few mostly unseen. Maybe benevolent earth needs a rest from man the overdeveloped animal, maybe it’s time for the gentle green bubble people to be shielded from uncountable horror that has rocked and shocked what started out as innocence at birth. On a blank canvas not yet written.

Politics Oh Politics…Sigh.

Politics and the answers you will never find especially in the days of the now; why because the egos are at play the root of the personal and self aggrandisement. It is also an Arena where key players at any level must have money and the means, universities are a mixing ground where idealism is blind to the pragmatic facts. Most of whom change their views when reality bites. Yes there does need to be ground level meeting hall debates, because you’ll never find the dustman at the middle class community engagement forums. So the return at some point of tub thumping meetings, revolving around poor housing, bad private landlords and bedroom tax, but not sneaky social media which is falling over itself, as Mark Zuckerberg will be finding out to his cost sooner or later.

The Struggle To Be Born

The discolouration of innocence, from the struggle to be born. To the first breath taken you are aware, or otherwise you made it through the life stream. Who you become others will discover. In the meantime you have to cope with your emerging surroundings much stands before me.

For many earth years conversation is babble, that of the adult. They are supposed to be my guardians for my struggling emergence into what evolves, into a bear pit of woes and foes, sponsored by ignorance of the parents, determined to surpass one another in political institutions of hierarchy.

This whilst the truth of the wind passes change through all. I emerge discovering god gilt edged promises of everyone under the sun. My son is or will be equal. The innocence of this journey is broken up in terms of minds and flesh perish as potentials of innocence, either flower fresh in the morning, but withered by the sun’s power at the end of the day. .
