I wish I understood where ‘anti-austerity’ comes from. I really do. In my over-simplified, semi-random, firing-on-three-cylinder mind there’s a deep-seated understanding that if you borrow money you pay it back. Unless you can get out of it, obviously. But pay it back you must. Otherwise you’ll get arrested/jailed/beaten up/have fingers removed with wire-cutters. Metaphorically if not literally. I hope.

So nations are the same. Yet Greece’s ‘anti-austerity’ campaign was just that; we’ve borrowed money but we’re not prepared to take the measures that may enable us to pay it back. Or in there case, not ‘pay it back’ so much as fund the massive interest payments. Because ‘austerity’ means a cut in spending, a cut in lifestyle, a change of the old ways. Which were obviously excessive or they wouldn’t need austerity now. Pay-back is a bitch.

Here too we talk austerity. Non-stop, in fact. And yet Jeremy Corbyn, horrible, bearded labour party leadership candidate, is standing on an anti-austerity message. Because he’s a ‘hard left winger’, even though he looks like a soft geography teacher. And he is growing in strength. Which speaks volumes about his opposition for the leadership role.

So now Unite, the vile trade union who love to fuck up our tube network on a regular basis, are backing Corbyn. And encouraging (forcing) their massive membership, who all get their say, to back him too. Because they love spending public money on themselves and go on strike when it doesn’t happen.

Jeremy Corbyn is a horrible throw-back. He’s a socialist/communist who is anti-defence, anti-war, pretty much anti-everything most countries need. He sympathises with terrorists because he’s always looking for justification where underdogs are concerned. So rather than outright condemnation of terrible acts of violence, he’s one of ‘those’ who seek to find the ‘repression’ which may have caused people to act in such a way. In short; he’s a tosser. But socialists are all anti-austerity. Whether in Greece, France or here. Let ‘the state’ pay. WE ARE THE FUCKING STATE, YOU NONCES.

But his election to party leader, should it happen, would be the biggest bonus ever for the Conservative party. The nation (and I speak for all 60 million here) didn’t want Miliband and his Socialism-Nouveau brand of working-family, bacon-sarny clap-trap. And they (we) sure-as-shit ain’t gonna vote for no creepy commie bearded bore either.

So let’s hope Jeremy, and his anti-austerity message, wins outright. Good luck to him.

Happy Thursday
