The 1%

The divide gets bigger. In the UK they are established, no need to lie anymore, they will spend the next 5 years cementing their grip. In Hong Kong they already have, and the people are too passive to do anything. You allow it. You struggle everyday but never ask why. You swallow the Tories brainwashing that everyone needs to raise themselves up, that scroungers are the reason the country is in debt, yet long term unemployment benefit is less than 1% of the welfare bill. The govts continue to allow monopolies to charge you exorbitant prices,
electricity, gas, food. A block of cheese that cost $20 here in Hong Kong 7 years ago now costs $80, for no concrete reason except only 2 companies sell it. The smokescreen of migrants is just that, a smokescreen Germany has problems, but between 30 EU countries the effect would be negligible. The controlling forces use their power and influence to split the working classes, the lower classes, because that's what you are, what we all are. They continue to argue about a living wage, as they allow big business to pay no tax, and as for banks....not a single banker is behind bars after costing every country billions and billions in losses. The elite protect the elite, history will look at this time as a time of mass deception, a mass redistribution of wealth to those 1%, a time when wars were started to propagate the deceit. You are living at a time when the 1% are fucking the whole of humanity, your support of the status quo will be the death of your children, your grandchildren. Open your eyes, see what is front of you.
