On Yer Bike

[jazzy_dave]

I rarely speak about politics in these pages, but sometimes I see trends which are worrying.

Social mobility is not so much an aspiration but as a weird blip: a few people got away with it 40 years ago, but normal service - the class system - has been resumed. More people believed they were middle class more, but in fact the wealthiest have further ahead and those at the bottom are clumped together in worklessness and despair. The reality is that class is not loosening but tightening its grip on the education system that is systematically choking off the exit routes for anyone not born to rule.

Meanwhile, Adrian Beecroft gives the Tories money and has his plans for clubbing the workers given serious consideration by these Tory plutocrats. The plans were halted by Vince Cable, but it proves one thing, the bad old rich kids are not to be trusted, and like a leopard a true Tory never changes his spots.

Marx was right, capitalism will eat itself., and generally rotten to the core.
