We simply cannot go on like this.  A Government clinging onto power by their fingernails, sexual harassment scandals sweeping Hollywood and Westminster, the Paradise papers detailing tax avoidance schemes for the Super-Rich – and Brexit steering the ship not only onto the rocks but sinking under the weight of so much dead meat stinking in the hold.

The last election was a watershed…..almost.  Labour came back from the dead and increased their share of the vote from 31% under Milliband and Opinion Polls of 25% to (what under Blair would have been a winning) 41%.  But still it wasn’t quite enough.  The Tories swept up Brexit votes because they portrayed themselves as the party of Brexit – despite a failure to explain to anybody, or even themselves, exactly what Brexit means.

And one gets the feeling that something must give, something must change.  Even Theresa May must realise that she is presiding over a catastrophic mess.  Maybe she thinks it is her duty to hang on, hoping that things will get better, that Labour will fall out of favour, that somehow Brexit will end happily,  That she will go down in History as a Great Prime Minister.  Dream on dear…

But really, can we simply carry on in this pathetic indecisive and disastrous way?  Just how much worse does it have to get?  And how exactly do you remove a totally ineffective Government that doesn’t even have a Majority, but is relying on the purchased votes of a handful of Neanderthal’s from Ulster.

And Capitalism is getting worse.  At least while there was Communism as an alternative, Capitalism had a half-human face.  Now, they think they can fuck us over as many times as they like….
