Sometimes when I think about it, the human race is no better than medieval times where pilgrims would travel for miles and pay a fee to touch a momento belonging to a person referred to as a Saint, by the powers which be. Such techniques today take different forms but they still

Exist: know your place, bask in others glory and fame, the status quo is the highest achievement. Do not challenge or deviate.

For the MP, celebrity and the supporters of the neoliberal ideology in the 21st century the preferred technique involves abusing 2

Others good will and engaging in identity poltics. Somebody challenges them and the response is to smear: call that person a antisemite, a TERF, a troll. Portray the situation as between good and bad, black and white. Do not allow for different opinions. Threaten them. 3

Each year we see the beforementioned persons do the same thing come November. They put on a poppy and talk about decency and respecting the generations of the great war and world war 2. They beautify these conflicts, with the former being treated as the awful one 4

And the latter, well they make out the Blitz was one mass party and a good time was had by all....their knowledge comes not from books or documentation from the time, but popular stereotypical notions as portrayed by existing biased media. Hence 5

Why far right britons will abuse imagery from the Battle of Britain but do not know who flew those planes and defended these Isles....
Today, a 100 year old veteran of the second World War died. I believe in honouring such persons and all of those who have helped this nation 6

In The two major conflicts and in their aftermath.

I am in their debt and I respect them. What I dispise are the cynical generations who knowingly exploit the older generation's sacrifices in order to excuse the evils of neoliberalism. If you want to honour 7

The deceased, do right by not only other elderly generations but also their descendants. Make certain that no briton is isolated, lonely, lives in poverty and experiences malnutrition and starvation. To make Britain a land fit for heroes do not leave anyone behind. Ever.

Yesterday and Today, we see the perpetrators of neoliberalism attempt to vitrue signal and exploit goodwill. Persons who regularly demonise sections of humanity based around their background, nationality, skin colour and sexuality....these persons want you to idolise them

for encouraging the narrative they 'respect' our veterans.

They do not want you to question the neoliberal system which led the particular gentleman collect money for our health service. They want good will and charity but not systems in place that certify Britain is. 10

Progressive, reflects Blake's hopes in Jerusalem.

They want a spectacle, a distraction from you seeing that things are wrong.

Imagine fireworks going off around you, you are amazed at their beauty, ...meanwhile your home is being robbed...and in time they want to you to pay

Into a system which does not benefit you 12

But their colleagues, who get things tax free. They exploited our health service which they have subtly gone about privatising for years. A international event occurs and the shortcomings are on full display...we get clap for the NHS
..but no enquiry why this happened.

They exploited the kind soul of a 100 year man for their own material and status quo driven gains...they will no doubt abuse his memory to further drive a wedge between this nation and Europe and the world. They have no shame. They do not respect the deceased gentleman 14

They respect the opportunity he offers them for reinforcing their authority and rule. The neoliberal, regardless whether in the Tories or Blue Labour, has no decency or honour. Do not be fooled. They want you to be in thrall like the pilgrim's of old.
