David Cameron, please tell Sid and his Neighbourhood Watch social entrepreneurs to piss off.




Cameron's Tory recidivism will send us back to the society of pre-war Britain.


"Red Toryism derives largely from a British Tory and imperialist tradition that maintained the unequal division of wealth and political privilege among social classes can be justified, if members of the privileged class contribute to the common good."


Under the cover of social entrepreneurship and community the Tories and Cameron plan to privatise all aspects of state service provision and send us back to pre-war Britain.
The devil quotes scripture and Cameron is sweetening his plans to sell off the whole state apparatus of Britain, with the possible exception of the army and the police, with talk about the importance of community which he seems to think of as a Neighbourhood Watch writ large.

Like the fascists in the 1930s and Thatcher in the 80s he hides behind words. But he can tell Sid and the Neighbourhood Watch to piss off, as far as I'm concerned.

The example is a little extreme, but did you know that when the fascists took power in Germany many people thought it was a terribly good thing because the Nazis sent workers on holidays and introduced heating allowances for the elderly and looked after war veterans. They thought fascism and the Nazis were providing friendly and caring government. Underneath the warm and bollocking guff about communities Cameron came out with today is precisely what I was discussing on my previous blog. The sell off of the state apparatus to the private sector and the complete destruction of social democracy.

Do you remember Thatcher's bribes to the populace? That they could buy shares in British Gas and British Telecom and buy their own homes and buy shares in the public utilities. Where have those shares ended up? In the pockets of the wealthy. In the pocket of Cameron's mob: the establishment with its sinecure on power through the self selection procedure of money, elite public schooling and Oxbridge.

Ordinary people, apparently, will be in a position to bid to take over the running of public services. F****** Sid and his mob of Norman Tebbit, racist neo-Thatcherite Sun and Sunday Times reading, self interested, Neighbourhood Watch, proto-fascist scum.

But in addition to Sid and the odd deluded liberal, private companies will be encouraged to tender. The complete takeover of the state by private interests is projected. Education, the NHS, municipal services, absolutely everything. At least a quarter of Britain's Gross Domestic Product.

What this will effectively mean is the complete destruction of social democracy. Under the guise of community and the Victorian facade of "voluntary work" Cameron will destroy our social democracy and make the private sector all powerful in Britain and we will soon be heading for a US style country but without the advantages of imperial hegemony..

The devil quotes scripture, Cameron speaks of communities. Don't believe a word the Tory estate agent bastard says.

A warm welcome

. Why blog on ARS NOTORIA? I have set up this website,  ARS NOTORIA ,  (the notable art) as an opportunity for like-minded people like you to jot down your thoughts and share them with us on what I hope will be a high profile blog. . ARS NOTORIA is conceived as an outlet: a way for you to get things off your chest, shake those bees out of your bonnet and scratch that itch. The idea is that you do so in a companionable blogging environment, one that that is less structured - freer. Every article you care to write or photograph or picture you care to post will appear on its own page and you are pretty much guaranteed that people will read with interest what you produce and take time to look at what you post. Personal blogs are OK, but what we long for, if we can admit it, are easy-going, loose knit communities: blogging hubs where we can share ideas and pop in and out as frequentl...

Phil Hall: The Taleban are a drug cartel disguised as an Islamist movement

Truly the Taleban could have arranged as many bombings and terrorists acts as they liked in the UK. There are many Pashtun young men and women in cities in the UK who still have large extended families back in Afghanistan and who could be forced into doing something they should not. But guess what. So far there have been no attacks by Afghans on British soil. Why? It is a mystery. News comes from Afghanistan and the recent UN report that the Taleban and the drug trade are intertwined and that now the Taleban, who are mainly Pashtun, are officially in command of an international drug cartel.  News comes from Afghanistan that Taleban drug lords go to Dubai to live high on the hog and gamble and sleep with women and luxuriate in all the that the freedom to consume has to offer, while their footsoldiers, peasant fighters, are deluded and told that they are fighting a patriotic religious war.  And though they are told they are fighting a religious war what really matters to t...

Our Collective Caliban

At the risk of seeming digitally provincial, I’m going to illustrate my point with an example from a recent Guardian blog. Michel Ruse, who is apparently a philosopher, suggested that, whilst disagreeing with creationists on all points, and agreeing with Dawkins et al on both their science and philosophy, it might be wiser and more humane (humanist, even) not to vilify the religious as cretinous and incapable of reason. Which seems reasonable, to me. According to many below-the-line responses he is a ‘half-baked’ atheist, ‘one of the more strident and shrill New Apologists’ and, apparently, “needs to get a pair’. And that’s just from the first twenty comments. A recent article by a screenwriter at a US site was titled ‘Why I Won’t Read Your Fucking Screenplay.’ Tough guy. I wonder how his Christmas cards read. I’m going to sound like a maiden aunt dismayed by an unsporting bridge play and can perhaps be accused of needing to ‘get a pair’ myself (although, before you...
