ONE DAY THERE WILL BE A RECKONING — BUT IT WON’T BE A WHITE BOY WITH A WAND AND A SCAR ~ Kell w Farshéa ~ This is a government of death. A cabinet of death-eaters who put the needs of capital and state above our humanity, and reactionary ideas about race, gender, sexuality, and disability above our shared solidarity. Death eaters who even now would rather prop up the genocidal state of Israel than attend to 8 activists on hunger strike who are being denied medical treatment or a judgement of their peers. People who have not even had a trial for crimes invented to suit the needs of Western geopolitical imperialism. People who saw the complicity of this British state and capital and fought back at source to intervene on behalf of humanity. The death-eaters manufacture consent through media as diverse as the BBC and GB News, the Guardian or the Express. Rationing social media and parliamentary questions for silence. So whilst basic access to medicine or a fair trial is denied — there is a mighty absence of the inquiring investigative journalism that the British press pretends to care about. There they are — the death eaters: Starmer, Lammy, Reeves, Mahmood, Streeting, Cooper — presiding over a cabinet of death. They take life-saving medical care from trans children and young people whilst praying to their gods in the name of love. They deport asylum seekers whilst claiming the mantle of liberalism. They pander to fascism and flag shagging, dangling the possibilities of mass deportations in the name of British fairness and British decency. A very British form of fairness built on the backs of colonial and imperial asset-stripping of half the world, of the third passage, the enslavement of millions, the cotton and sugar plantations, the indentured labourers, the gerrymandering of tribes, polities, countries and whole regions — all for the benefit of British capital and British power. The death eaters in Parliament — Farage, Badenoch, Starmer etc, — sidle up to the kleptomaniac fascist in the White House. They flatter him with baubles, monarchal fantasies of the divine right of kings, back when dictators dressed up their crimes with God (but don’t mention Charles I). Meanwhile they cut benefits for the dis/abled, play cheap tricks to push more gig economy working class people into tax brackets they cant afford. They promise whole new towns but do nothing about 700,000 empty buildings in the UK. They promise to bulldoze nuclear power stations through planning committees but still keep the oil and gas flowing from the North Sea. They demonise people who survive the prison system whilst doing nothing to address why so many veterans, ex-criminals, and people with mental health conditions will be the ones freezing on our streets this Christmas And still they cannot speak of Gaza. Gaza flooded. Gaza freezing. Gaza starving. The fake ceasefire and the Gaza land grab. Children shot for walking over invisible lines. Instead, the death eaters make political capital out of antisemitic hate crimes and mass shootings to avoid talking about Gaza. They’re all so pleased with themselves. And then there’s us. Spending our wages and benefits to keep people alive in Gaza in a global act of international solidarity. Brave comrades: arrested, harassed, punched in the face, laying down in the streets, slandered, occupying buildings, smashing the windows of the ECHR and Elbit. Same tactics, same struggles. One day there will be a reckoning. It won’t be a white boy with a wand and a scar though. It will be the whole damn world, and we will want justice. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photo: House of Commons on Flickr CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 The post Governed by Death-eaters appeared first on Freedom News.
