Ten years on

Wednesday saw the tenth (10) anniversary of the opening ceremony of the Olymic Game in London.

At the time I wrote:

"But before then was the opening ceremony itself, as seen through the mind of Danny Boyle; there was fields, Glastonbury Tor, a cricket match, the industrial revolution, war, the NHS, children’s literature the Queen and James Bond parachuted into the stadium (again), Arctic Monkeys and Paul McCartney. It was brilliant, left of centre, left of politics (if you’re a conservative MP or Mit Romney) and took my breath away on many occasions. At the end, David Beckham drove a speedboat up the Thames and passed the flame onto Sir Steve Redgrave and he ran into the stadium, and in a surprise, passed that onto seven young athletes who ran round to light the 204 copper urinals which rose up to form a cauldron of flame."

The day after, I wrote:

"As far as real negative stuff about the games, that has come from Republican Presidential nominee Mit Romney who made some rather disparaging remarks about the games only to get bitch-slapped by socialists, David Cameron and Boris Johnson. Of course they are not socialist, but conservative with a huge capital C, but even they seemed to enjoy the ‘I love the NHS’ section of the opening ceremony and probably will announce that the plans to sell off parts of the NHS to their friends is to be abandoned at the soonest."

Turns out this was the highpoint in liberalism in the UK. Because as much as I and Jools love the ceremony, Cameron and Joson and other twats on the Conservative right and extreme right were making their plans.

Pretty much all of what Danny Boyle lauded in that opening ceremony has been trashed and underfunded, bitch-slapped, bad-mouthed and blamed for its own failings whilst the Conseravtive Governments have underfunded to undermine, then use their failure as a pretext for privatisation.

It is the Right's way.

In those ten years, Cameron, May and Johnson have trashed what made us proud to be British, UK citizens, and they are now hell-bent on destroying and selling off what's left.

And they feel no shame in what they have done. Because they will do just fine, they will look after each other, make each other rich, give each other jobs or seats in the Lords.

While the rest of us will either starve, freeze to death or a combination of both. Energy is now expected to top £500 for the month of January alone.

Meanwhile, Rishi wears Prada.
