uk plc

It's been a crazy time, so a bit slow on the old political hot-line this week, but this Bird has been fuming for the last few days over the budget and the surrounding corporate babble. Forgive me if I am wrong, but I had always believed that the purpose of government was to represent and take care of the needs of the people it represented. Having heard countless talking heads comment on companies high-footing it out of the country, to be lured back by tax breaks, this Bird could be forgiven for thinking that UK plc really existed. There are some facts that need to be considered: even the deficit of the government is not that of the people, so the deficits of banks and other corporate entities are definitely not our problem. As a large portion of government debt is owed to the Bank of England, it is debatable whether it is a deficit at all. Private enterprise is just that...... private. The government is not a corporation. UK plc is a myth created by private enterprise to embezzle funds from our pockets in yet another scam.
I implore you, dear reader, to ignore the myth. We do not get a share in the profits of private enterprise, so we are not liable for its debts, and neither is the government. The banks are not too big to fail, they are simply too big too fail whilst remaining private enterprises. Do not pass go, do not give your cash, services, health and education to private enterprise.
