I was shouting at the tv again earlier, forcing Lyn to retreat into her studio and turn the volume up. I was watching CaMoron’s speech, once again lying to the country that things are now all hunkey-dorey, that we are now thriving, and acting like his policies have some kind of intelligence behind them rather than boiling down to greed. I get really angry when I see him like that, pretending he is being rational and thoughtful; assuming he deserves the authority he stole in 2010. People are going hungry because of benefit cuts, yet he expects applause for cutting tax.

People like him have the audacity to say that those on the left have a politics of envy. Our politics is not about envy but about fairness, about evening out preexisting inequalities. Their politics is about greed, maintaining inequality and making sure the lucky few can continue their privileged lives lording it over the rest of us. I find it sickening to see CaMoron try to portray it as a valid worldview, when I can see the suffering such selfishness has caused so vividly. We deserve better than this rat, standing behind a podium, trying to tell us greed is good, that capitalist fat-cats should be treated as heroes and that the state – the only mechanism through which the people those fat-cats would otherwise rule over can get any power or justice – is a bad thing and should be diminished. How can people be fooled by such arrogant, selfish folly?
