Reflections on the Election (2015)

“Middle England Rises Up and Saves Britain from Red Ed”

declared the Daily Mail on the morning of the Conservative’s election victory. I disagree. Unfortunately, the Tories’ meagre victory was more about a failure to rise up. The mass of disenfranchised, exploited, oppressed, intelligent, humane people, the whole badly served public failed once again to rise up. Neglecting to seize power for ourselves, we allowed the corrupt fill-your-own-elitist-pockets to triumph while the dreadful morality of Middle England droned and whined its nasal victory songs.
