We mustn't try to edit our past
We mustn't try to edit our past
Not edit our past
or censor it
Cannot pretend to have a different history.
Cements history
in iron rings
History is dependent on who writes
and
who
puts up the monuments
So many people
are oppressed by those very statues
but
they are not listened to
and
haven't been listened to for many years
The Quasi Churchill
protects
Churchill
He was a hero
But to many
a
Racist
Imperialist
White supremicist
Enjoyed killing savages
Unleashed the Black and Tans
Just a few to name
The quasi
Utters
Picaninnies with water melon smiles
and
letterboxes
The shutters should go up
around no 10
too!
October Sunshine
October Sunshine
The soft high peep of Goldcrests
as they flit through the sycamore leaves
delicately picking here and there.
A skylark practicing for next spring.
An explosion of Redwing freshly arrived from
Norway as they leave the berries behind.
Soft threads glinting in the sunshine from the
myriad of gossamer trails.
and the mellow hum of the flies, bees
and wasps on the ivy.
As Mrs May and Mr Davis trample
on parliamentary sovereignty.
and keep telling us that
4%
was overwhelming
and
we
mustn't complain
those who were to
remain.
Add insult to injury 48% of the UK population are now being demonised by
the
Daily Mail
(Daily Mail 12/10/16)
In the original vote to join the EU there was a clear majority to join
67.23 % to 32.77%
on a
64.62% turnout
But notice the level of demonisation.
This is Civil War!

Corporation Tax
The Multinational Tax Challenge
The Double Irish disappears
into the Bermuda Triangle.
In the west.
While in the East
Singapore.
Manipulating tax liabilities
across national borders.
All in a days work.
We mustn't complain.
It's all perfectly legal.
The money mountains give the lie.
The creeping reach of multinationals
that depend on not showing a profit
to enable their further reach
across the globe.
Insults and demeans many.
But creates a few
above it all.
When people complain
they
offer
Not really believing they should
bear the burden of taxation.
All this economic activity that purports
to leave no profit worth taxing.
But leave them richer and more
powerful than the countries they serve.
They cosy up to politicians
make special deals.
But don't accept responsibility.
Nor are they forced to accept some.
This is the nub.
We need politicians who
can stand up to them. Rather
than capitulate.
Find a way to make them pay a responsible amount
in all the countries they do business in!
