Our mates and co-conspirators, the Yorkshire Anarchist Group (
http://yorkshireanarchist.wordpress.com/), have recently reported on the latest waste of public resources in Yorkshire (if you want a real laugh read scumbag Austin Mitchell’s attempts to defend his parasitic ways). In their article they mention Climate Change Minister, Ed Maxibland’s, expense claim for 831 pints of bottled water as an ‘office purchase’.
Apart from being a complete rip-off, bottled water is probably one of the least green purchases you can make. Maxibland is, of course, MP for Doncaster North and, as we said to the YAG, we live near his office and we haven’t noticed a drought in quite some time. What’s wrong with bloody tap water Eddie? Are you worried about getting osteoporosis from the fluride which your government wants to add to the entire drinking supply?
Not that we should be surprised by such hypocrisy; Ed and his brother, Div, are typical clone politicians. Like all MPs they were bred from test-tubes and raised far, far away from the contaminating ‘real world’ which the rest of us mere mortals are forced to endure. For the first ten years of their lives they learn two sentences on every conceivable subject so that they can feign competence. For the next ten years they practice answering questions with questions so that they never have to actually answer a question again as long as they live. Then, on their 20th birthday, they have their scrupple gland removed and, hey-presto, you have a perfect politician – practically pointless in every way!

The Yorkshire Post leads with a breakdown of what Yorkshire’s MPs have spent your money on. Recently published receipts show that politicians in our region have splashed out over £1 million in allowances on their second home (while in Doncaster people are losing their 1st and only home to repossession at a higher rate than almost anywhere else in the country). Six MPs – Kevin Barron (Rother Valley), Hugh Bayley (York), John Grogan (Selby), Kali Mountford (Colne Valley), John Prescott (Hull East) and Phil Willis (Harrogate & Knaresborough) – claimed the maximum possible allowance of £24,006 (far more than you’re average nurse or fireman earns in a year). Nationally second home expenditure (which includes essentials like wide-screen TVs, John Lewis furniture, gardeners, radiator valves and Quentin Davies’ bloody Bell Tower) topped £10.7 million!
Doncaster North MP and Secretary of State for Energy & Climate Change, Ed Milliband, claimed less that £10,000 on his second home (as if we should be thankful when somebody who already earns so much public money decides not to totally take the piss), but then claimed for 831 pints of bottled water as an ‘office purchase’. But YAG members, the Barnsdale Brigade, who live within walking distance of his office swear that they haven’t had a problem with their water supply since the drought of 1976 ;-)
The fact that MPs remain incredulous to any wrongdoing helps to unmask the real nature of government – they’re nothing more than mobsters who work to protect the interests of banks and corporations. As Alan Moore has pointed out:
“[T]he only reason that governments are governments is to control currency; they don’t actually do anything that we don’t pay for, other than to expose us to the threat of foreign wars by their reckless actions. They don’t actually really govern us; all they do is control the currency and rake off the proceeds.”
You only have to look at what happened when the economy went tits-up to see the truth behind this statement. The banks have been protected at the expense of the vast majority of the population – even though the bankers created the problem in the first place! The fact is that bank bosses, heads of corporations and politicians are interchangeable parts of a runaway economic system that demands that you spend more even though you’re paid less in real terms because your currency is constantly being devalued. Thomas Jefferson realised the threat posed by the banks 200 years ago…
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”
Sadly the banks are now in the driving seat and politicians of all persuasion are little more than front men in the world’s greatest scam. As Jefferson also said…
“Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing [a people] to slavery.”
And so we have become like slaves to a bunch of mobsters who not only rob us, but have us pay them a wage (and bonuses…) for the privilege of being robbed. But it doesn’t have to be this way; we are the people who grow the food and we are the ones who actually make all the necessities (and luxuries…) in life. Bosses, bureaucrats, politicians and bankers have always been completely superfluous, but are even more pointless in the communication age. The infrastructure already exists for us to do away with the parasites and live in freedom – if we dare.
Here’s a few more quotes to think about, this time from Edward Abbey…
“Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners.”
“Society is like a stew. If you don’t stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.”
“Grown men do not need leaders.”
