I realise I haven’t written much of any length on here recently, and that most of my last few blog entries have been link-oriented. I’m afraid this one won’t be much different. I simply haven’t had the time to sit down and tap out a good long rant in the last week or so. I keep intending to let loose on the arseholes who wrote a letter to the telegraph this week arguing that tax for the rich should be abolished. Can you believe that at a time when people up and down the country are suffering due to the cuts, some people can be selfish enough to think those fortunate enough to be able to put money back into the system should be able to keep more of their money and to hell with everyone else? That attitude, the way which some see the world only in terms of being an individual rather than as part of a community, really gets to me. Do they not realise that they are the lucky few, and so should contribute back into society? One of these days I am going to sit down and outline my entire world view on here; I’m basically a socialist, but mine is a type of socialism relating to and born of notions surrounding physical ability. It seems to me that one’s social worth is still related to physical ability, especially in terms of having a job, and it shouldn’t be. But that’s a diatribe for another day, so I’ll just send you here to a very illuminating and in a way related guardian article on how the UK is at risk of breaching international obligations to disabled people, and go mutter into a cup of coffee.
