In response to a debate Facebook
about the UN and the UK’s distinction as being the first state to be investigated
on disability rights violations, Malaysia’s conviction of Bush, Blair, Cheney,
etc on war crimes was broached.
This led to comparisons between the
UK and Malaysia. Then one user contributed the following:
"As
for ruling classes, in comparison I think ours has a very light touch."
Which is of course relative. If you
are hungry, homeless, unemployed, disabled, etc then it would be reasonable to
believe you were being ruled with a fist of steel. Ruled by a callous bunch of
bastards.
The fact is our rulers are the
masters of spin. They are able to of convey an image of benevolence while
pushing through policies that are a death sentence to thousands. Tell us the
economy is picking up as food banks proliferate, the benefits bill rises and
tax revenues continue to tumble.
Ruled with a ‘light touch’? No. We
are ruled over by as nasty a bunch of politicians that ever got their snouts
into the trough of state; and a royal family populated by ponces and nonces who
hoover-up benefits on an industrial scale.
