Even their interior designer does not think much of the Tories!!
I have no doubt that you share my bone-shivering outrage and anger and also fist-clenching teeth-grinding mouth-foaming hair-splitting frustration at the failures of the police in both Ireland and England to kill any atheist communist students over the past 20 years or so. It has not been like they have needed a reason. The last dead student I can think of was the Blair Peach, who they made a film about, The Blair Peach Project, but since then not a single student has even been hanged. And now, this week, we have seen where it all ends up. With mass carnage and destruction of property, which, let me remind you, is much more costly and valuable than people: One fire estinguisher lobbed from the top of a building costs £600 to replace. That is the price of at least four students’ lives, or one policeman, or seventeen taxi drivers, or a handjob off Duncan Iain Smith. And this is ironic, because if Duncan Iain Smith hadn’t been so busy making money all his life, he could have gone to the University of Joined Up Thinking, where he would have realize the illogic of his policies and then have close down all universities so there would not be students at all and we would not have them throwing fire estinguishers off buildings. The world truly does revolve in circles, doesn’t it? But not around the Sun.
The problem as I see it, and therefore as it truly is, is that for 30 years the governments of Europe has been widening the access of universities to all and sundries, including the working classes, who would otherwise be on the dole unemployed, which would have meant them sleeping in until 11 o’clock, sitting on the sofa all day, smoking roll-ups, and watching TV, without making any useful contribution to society and being paid to do it, all of which add up to major negative PR for the government. So instead the governments decide to send them all to college, which was cheaper, provide jobs also for teachers of art history, philosophy, Business, Music, smoking roll-ups, and so on, getting both students and teachers off the settee/dole, reducing thereby negative PR, and also making it look like society was investing in the future, because as everyone knows, education is the key to making society competitive, to compete with foreing other countries in the global marketplace, even though they have no education systems abroad, only prisons and maquiladoras, which is the Spanish word for Italian hat. of course, this policy was all very well and good while we was able to espand the deficits and buy cheaply from slaves, but when the economy went bellies up all of a sudden, the governments panicked and decide they must cut everything everywhere, including dole, pensions, education, and so on, without no understanding of how the jigsaw fit together or how one back hand shakes with the other.
So now the Tories and Liberal Cleggs are decide to make students pay for their education with the result that those who cannot afford it will go on the dole and add instead to the unemployment queues where also are being cut the social welfare and benefits of the indolent, i.e. those too proud to become students, with therefore no net gain, numbers of unemployed having increased and numbers of students paying fees having decreased.

Protecting property and privilege. About time too! (3.50 p.m.)
But in Ireland also there was kerfuffling in the streets last week when the students try to occupy the unoccupied department of finance (which have no money anyway) and the police had to move in on horses, which as you know were invented in Spain, in order to trample all over students’ rights. Also their lefts and middles. This was really a training exercise for the Gardai, who realize that everyone likes to see students getting their heads batched in and they will have no sympathy for them. It was a hole different story last year, of course, when farmers occupy the European Commission offices in Dublin. On that time, the Gardai actually made them all cups of tea and went to Brown Thomas and did their shopping for them while they were up in the capital. But this is because (1) most gardai are the children of farmers who have moved to the big city to make something of themselves, (2) everyone loves farmers, and (3) there was not the need then to get some practice in smashing heads because the government did not espect civil war. In previous occasions, the Gardai have had to travel all the way up to Mayo to practice assaulting people, and there is no urban environment in Mayo, only fields and sheep carcasses, which is not good practice for protecting the Winter Palace (if they have one in Ireland, I don’t know). Thus therefore the Gardai had not had no proper live exercise in an urban environment for a good five years, when they disgraced themselves by rioting, or even longer ago when English fascists came to Lansdowne Road and receive a good kicking which even had Sinn Fein cheering the Gards on. But which was a big disgrace. I know for a fact that some Gards were weeping openly as they bringed their batons down on the heads of the poor BNPs.
But the rock-hard bald pate of a fat English social inadequate is no replacement for a seething mass of lank-haired spindly torsos sitting self-righteously in the middle of Merrion Row practicing the passive resistance with indignation and rucksacks. And this is why the obvious solution hits you between the eyes like a plastic bullet fired by a lady. Aiming at your groin: The stupid inbred idiot Tories have missed a trick here, which is paying the students to be full-time employed practice targets for the police. This is perfect! Think about it. It would turn the students into useful members of society, keep them off the unemployment rolls, it would also save the costs of sending them to university, and it would simletaneously give the police a chance to practice their repression techniques for the forthcoming civil war, when they will need them to use against proper people such as pensioners, servants, farmers, union malcontents, office workers/drones, and women. It also means the government does not have to resort to the army to do the job properly, when they should be off abroad killing foreingers and keeping the peace there.
I notice, inthedentally, that a lot of people are commemorating the Poppy Day over there in British Isles. Of course, we in Spain have no such nonsense, since we were not stupid enough to get involved in the World Wars in the first place. Beside the which, we was learn long before the rest of Europe the importance of having a volunteer army of professional killers rather than a conscript army made up of insubords and hoi pollois. What are you doing when you train the working classes how to use weapons if not producing your own esecutioners? Far better to have an army loyal to the state, with an officer class entirely from your ruling families, willing to come home if need be to brake the strikes, teach the unions a lesson, and govern benighnly, like the way Franco did. It took Great Britain two world wars and several labour governments to realize this. And the price they had to pay for that was the massive welfare state, with education and health for everyone, regardless of their class, health or stupidity. Is precisely which is what has got them into this mess in the first place!
I am only saying.
