I Wrote A Letter

08:19 PM
Topics

I'm very busy these days what with being an ignorant and vindictive evil capitalist exploitative PHB (and my lysdexia is getting worser) but at the weekend I finally got around to writing a couple of letters I've been needing to for a while.

One was political, and not really interesting in detail, but it marks "closure" or whatever touchy-feely term you want to use from my involvement with things Brexit. I'm in Scotland now, for the duration, and hoping for independence from the UK so that we can rebuild a properly democratic, fair, socially just and internationalist society.

The letter I wrote was the last one I will write to a mainstream UK political party, and it sets out some reasons amongst a rambling history of the last decade for why an erstwhile British citizen might relocate and seek independence.

I'm not sure I should expect a reply, or if I do what sort of reply it will be. All I can say is that, in public, the UK-wide political parties seem to be completely detached from opinions on the ground and are living in denial about the future.

I've done my bit. Time for a rest now. There's a house to be built.

      You know I think you're on to something. The working class should go Galt.
