Another
terror attack in Europe coincidentally(?) occurs right before crucial
national elections, this time in the UK - The British media start the
war against Jeremy Corbyn just like the US media did with Bernie
Sanders
Who is the
establishment's reserve in the UK this time? No doubt: Theresa May
and the Conservatives.
In fact, the
establishment doesn't seem to have too many options now that sees
with terror that the Labour party starts 'derailing' dangerously from
the neoliberal agenda, under Jeremy Corbyn. Brexit was not Theresa
May's idea, after all. She is definitely establishment's favourite, a
kind of reincarnation of Margaret Thatcher, the holy mother of
neoliberals all over the world.
So, the
British media sharpen their knives against Labour party leader,
Jeremy Corbyn, because he brings back forgotten pro-people policies
against the agenda of the plutocracy. Which shows that for the
elites, Brexit is not that important right now. The important thing
is to keep Britain under the flag of cruel neoliberalism that serves
their interests against the benefit of the majority.
The Labour
party rhetoric and policies that is promising under Corbyn is
shifting to the opposite side. For example, some of these policies
include:
- University tuition fees would be scrapped and student living grants would be brought back. This could well explain why voter registration has soared among students with a predicted 55% backing the Labour party.
- Sixty pc of UK's energy will come from renewable sources by 2030.
- Railways would be brought back to public ownership, reversing Margaret Thatcher's 1993 privatization, which almost all travelers agree, has led to absurd prices with an abysmal train service.
- And, of course, the Labour party promises to reinforce Britain's National Health Service (NHS) under public control, instead of undermining it, like the conservatives do, in order to sell it off to private companies.
In another
very important national election in Europe, a terrible event comes
conveniently close. The Manchester
Arena bombing will assist the
establishment to maintain power through more repression and fear.
These are the last 'solutions' left when the classic narratives and
methods start becoming dysfunctional.
So, terror
will force the British to vote the conservatives who are presenting
themselves as being more tough against migrants, resembling the far
right narratives and ideology. But the truth is that they don't care
about security. Their job is to pave the way for the complete
appliance of the neoliberal policies which include more
privatizations, more tax-reliefs for the super-rich, complete
destruction of the welfare state against the poorest and most
vulnerable.
Terror in
all kinds of forms, is the most useful tool for the elites in order
to keep the masses subservient and paralyzed, unable to revolt and
counterattack against the neo-Feudal conditions that are about to
come. We saw it already in France
and elsewhere.
The attack
on Corbyn by Britain's right-wing media has been ferocious.
Overcoming this level of hostility would take a political earthquake.
That is, a lot of courage by the British people to defy again the
sirens of the establishment, as happened with Brexit.
