Waste of Space

Waste of Space

Simply put, how can we justify footballers, actors, and musicians being paid so much money?

Nurses,  Firemen, Military and the Police that have to deal daily with the most challenging and life threatening situations to make our lives safe and are paid a pittance while celebrities, actors, and footballers are paid in a week what these people earn in a year to prance around in their money fuelled hedonistic fantasy.

Imagine cutting out dead children from car pileups or treating violent alcoholics who thank you with a punch in the face or fighting for your life in a far away battle that most people disagree with only to be forgotten when you return.

It is blatantly obvious that this madness creates a distorted view of life that idealises the cultural celebs rather than the true heroes who are constantly trying to keep our country a safe place to live in. This failing is the responsibility of the mass who consume cultural trash which feeds the demand for this tripe produced in vacuous TV and magazines.

Solution  1
Grade all jobs by their relevance to the social, economic and political well being of the country and its danger for the individual in that job. Force highly paid useless jobs that are graded low on this scale to pay extremely high rates of National Insurance to support the very people who keep them safe every day.

Solution 2
Force all earners of over a million a year in useless jobs to do public service jobs for a certain period each year to instill a sense of social responsibility.

Solution 3
Take the mass population of consumers of fatuous publications and shit TV to Dartmoor and test experimental ordinance on them.

Social Justice the only way.

"I think you'll find you have my money."

Whenever we hear in the news that another failed executive has just sacked half his workforce while paying himself an obscene bonus, or when we discover another politician embroiled in some kind of political corruption, we all spit with fury and, for a fleeting moment, we dream of storming parliament on PM’s question time with a Kalashnikov screaming “Die you motherfuckers”; hosing them all down, then setting off the 300 ton fertilizer bomb we planted under the foundations blowing all the fuckers and yourself sky high. This brief moment of nihilism, worthy of any fundamentalist’s praise, is a brief musing for most of us, sick of the continual lack of conscience within the elite in our society.

So I have decided to get together my little list of Social Injustice which represents many of the outrages that we all moan about but do very little to stop. Accompanying these I have a few suggestions and welcome anyone to add more suggestions or more cases of injustice that continue to annoy average Joes and fuel revolutionary dreams.
