Houses of Parliament, Westminster, not acting for national independence & security. Photo Workers.
The sight of parliamentarians in front of the Union Jack should fool no one. Working class nationalism, British independence and security of our borders are anathema to the majority in Parliament. They would prefer to stand in front of the EU flag.
These people have no connection with Britain’s national interests. Their role is to take us further away from the realities of what has happened to Britain over recent decades.
Consumption now regularly exceeds production, with cuts, more borrowing and increased taxes filling the gap. Economic dismay stalks the land. Those who wanted Britain to be a service economy while governments destroyed swathes of industry need to acknowledge their own part in creating the mess.
Along with economic dismay workers face state intimidation aimed at creating fear and anxiety. This is really evident when it comes to foreign events that are not our concern. And the more Britain’s rulers are in trouble here, the more they seek diversions abroad, exaggerating external threats.
It is a homegrown power, and our past EU membership, that has closed our factories and wrecked things. So workers shouldn’t be distracted by finger pointing to threats from without. The danger we face is from within.
Now the wreckers’ mantra is to increase arms expenditure faster than necessary to protect our own borders. Excess armaments get stored in a warehouse to deteriorate over time or are used to invade somewhere, or get exported to blow something up in a foreign adventure.
Expenditure of this kind is called dead capital. It doesn’t produce a product that British workers can consume, but it does produce inflation and destruction. When it comes to the actual need for military border security the British state has instead organised population expansion by importing millions of people of working age. Britain does not need this.
Continuous improvements in automation shrink rather than increase the need for an expanding workforce doing long hours – because through automation the total quantity of living labour going into many products is minimal.
This technological change has wide implications. One is that the working population need not have been increased post 2004 through importing labour. Those British state representatives who have organised this population expansion have consciously caused social division within Britain. There is nothing racist in clearly saying so.
Today the main desire amongst workers is for Britain to be an independent country with an independent economy, with British jobs for British workers. At every turn there has been an internal negative force that has tried to twist this desire into its opposite. To run our own country we need to rid ourselves of that negativity.
