We Know What We Are Fighting For

Reggae-ites & all kinda people everywhere...

We all gonna sing the same song

 

Whatever our thoughts about the political process, the age-old reality remains the same, it always boils down to one basic constant: POWER vs PEOPLE (& then PEOPLE VS POWER). Public debate has degenerated to the level of schoolyard screaming matches, loudest wins, with perilous consequences as we're seeing right now in the UK. Numbers is everything so its more important than ever for all of us to rise & let our voices be heard in whatever small way we can. We cannot allow cancel culture and ignorance to predominate.

Yes sir, times have never been tougher in the UK in my memory. The country's been bled dry by venture capitalists to the point where nothing seems to work anymore while working people are treated with disdain, having no life security while being chronically under-rewarded for their endeavors. Meanwhile, to say that there's a housing & homelessness crisis is a gross understatement. Most people feel it and the majority of us are vunerable nowdays :- PERILOUS BRITANNIA. Love or hate it, the globalisation cat was well out of the bag long ago and little can be done to reverse it now (actually, we've had globalisation for 500 years already but it used to be strictly the domain & perogative of white men). Anyhow, we can't just turn the clock back even if we wanted to. History shows that little or nothing has been acheived by attacking the weaker sections of our society (think back to the jewish persecutions of 11th & 12th century England for example) never mind the fact that doing so is downright immoral. No, blaming immigrants and ethnic minorities for societal decay and attacking them will lead only to increased suspicion, distrust, friction and a further decline in the general quality of life for all. In my opinion its high time we quit all the infighting and turn our aim back on the root cause of this misery: BIG MONEY, the monster that has leeched us almost dry, together with their bloodhounds on Fleet Street - THE MEDIA and their executors in WESTMINISTER.

 

DEMAND better equity and a secure future for our fragile planet. 

PUSH them to give the initiative back to the people so we can have a say in how we want to live and give the youth something real to aspire to.

FIGHT them to regain the lawful right to oppose unjust or environmentally destructive legislation, fascist regimes and illicit actions by corporations peacefully.

TURN THE HEAT on them to deal properly with the housing crisis & tenant's rights, forcing landlords to face up to their responsibility to society.

 KEEP fighting for equal & accessible legal representation for all.

STOP blaming the others.

 

We're not looking for Judgement Day & neither are we asking the Earth.. just more equality in a better balanced, humane & peaceful world.

''They're so much stumbling blocks right in-a our way:
Monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday;
There's so much wanting, so much gaining, so much have done.Too much little mix-up''

About a decade ago Donald Trump helped open a pandora's box internationally, ushering in a new era where politicians & people in general can do & say what the hell they want, sewing division, lies & confusion with impunity and spawning public cancel culture but just look where that's bloody got us all now! No matter how many diversions & distractions are put in our way the struggle remains unchanged. People must STOP THE FUSSING & FIGHTING AND PULL TOGETHER TO DEMAND INCREASED WAGES, BETTER EQUALITY & MORE RIGHTS SO THAT WE CAN GET ON WITH BUILDING A BRIGHTER, GREENER FUTURE. REGGAE-ITES! FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE!!!
