22 Days to save our Compassion ….....wake up and smell the coffee....




It is a Friday in late June 2018. We see a figure in a hat waiting at Neath station. The man is about sixty, he has a very small amount of hair ,a distinctive nose and rather crooked teeth .He is reflecting on the events of the last two years. He had hoped to be travelling by bus by now but it was only last year that Prime-minister Boris Johnson had abolished bus passes for sixty year olds The man thinks "not another referendum". The new Conservative party formed by the merger of UKIP and the non Cameron Tories has proposed the abolition of the Welsh Assembly. Johnson and Deputy Prime Minister Farage are touring Wales urging support for abolition.

In Scotland the situation is unclear a Scottish declaration of independence following Johnson's and Farage`s belief that the matter of Scotland was settled in September 2014. There is a stand-off exists on the English Scottish borders and many progressives and left wingers are considering moving to Scotland. The market mechanism is the decider of all things. Benefits are being slashed, social housing has died. The health service is on the way to become a market based organisation and Johnson and Farage are talking about how Wales will be fully integrated into the English state  and have argued t that the “process of devolution failed”

The visit of President Trump to Wales is hailed as a new beginning. The "new special relationship” is promoted as market based, rugged individualistic in nature and ideologically opposed to the left. The new Trump Academy set up in Neath will administer all benefit payments and encourage community based activity for the work shy.

In France the election of President Marine La Pen has led to a rapid Fr-exit. Throughout the states of Europe the education system is moving towards a simple business oriented approach. The Social Sciences, The Arts and the theoretical Sciences are being axed and replaced with the “Good Workers Education certificate” The universities are entirely being privatised and the proportion of people attending higher education and further education is falling. There is a new slogan throughout Europe “You are on your own,,be Proud”


In Kent the effects of Brexirt has led to a vast migrant camp in Kent. It began when local UK border authority staff were removed from Europe. The BNP is growing rapidly in the South East. The Johnson-Farage government is rearming rapidly. They are creating thousands of jobs by expanding the armament industry and are exporting throughout the world to anyone who will buy them. A smiling Deputy Primeminister Farage; pint in hand sets "Well we only make them, it gives us jobs and money its up to those other countries to decide how they use them.” he explains that the governments next move will be to abolish the declaration of human rights and they will then move on to create a new security law to watch the trouble makers...........


Just a nightmare you have 22 days to prevent it beginning.....wake up and smell the coffee........

  1. Bleak, but not unbelievable. A nightmare indeed and Scotland would be where I would head for. Let's hope common sense prevails here and in America.

  2. of course, it misses the counter move where the real people of England unilaterally declare independence from London ... but otherwise an interesting realisation of the "Leave" agenda
