What Can Be Done?

Someone once referred to the cult of moral greyness.We are living in such times.Conservatives are shape shifting reptiles,and the times are out joint.Things fall apart,the centre cannot hold,the the worst are lacking all conviction,the best are full of passionless density.What can be done?

As I said below the time is ripe for a fourth party,the 'fourth way' namely through capitalism and such a bold gambit is there for the taking.A new era could be upon us where people are given a clear choice between bankrupt statism with one in five people working for the Leviathan,most in non productive non jobs,or the sunny uplands of opportuinity and hope where people are free to make their own decsions on a whole arange of things which now they are forced to abdicate to a shop worn State bereft of purpose or principle other than that of self perpetuation.

Think of all the areas where the State has forced its ugly snout,devouring the substance of the people,rapaciously trampling over the hard won freedoms and liberties of our forefathers.Have you seen the little big piggies in their starched white shirts? Some are more equal than others in this political barnyard.

Where to begin?Is there an area where the State has not usurped,where even thoughts and feelings are now nationalised in a Gramscian grab for the very souls of the British people?Take the Arts for a start. What is good,and what is not good -do we need anyone to tell us these things?Art and politics -if any two things should be kept separate surely it is these -and yet the State wants us,nay forces us to subsidise the utmost bilge of non representational art to keep unemployable wasters in the manner to which they have become accustomed.Not in my name.

The Arts council must go.The Melvyns will just have to tout their wares on the free market,the State should not patronise the Arts.Whenever I hear the wordCulture I reach for my Revolver -(The Beatles Albumn of course.I refer you to the track called The Taxman.)

The phone goes please go to my next post below.
