The Mandarins of Whitehall

Most countries have 'non political' advisers to governments who run the affairs of the country and carry out the orders of the governments. They are mostly seen as a stabalising force but.............

'We are non-partisan,

politically neutral

and speak truth to power

behind closed doors,

we have done so

since eighteen-fifty-four.'

 

Yet,

there is a war of 'religion',

a battle of faith

coursing through the corridors

of power.

Some view our Civil Servants

the 'enemy within',

' a bastion of Remoanerism'

determined to undermine

the democratic will of the people.

 

Such neoliberal thinking

seen as suitable only for

re-education in

Xinjiang type

correction camps.

 

Senior, establishment civil servants

regularly speak out against Brexit,

an impartial civil service?

it seems civil servants

are anything but impartial

on the EU question.

Anti-Brexit bias runs like a spinal cord

through the bloated body of these mandarins,

these metropolitan 'remainers',

whose fat pensions

we, the tax payers, fund,

have influence,

and are openly

trying to hamper

our democratic rights.

 

I guess establishment

is establishment

wherever you are in the world,

but they are so far removed

from real lives

as they choke

us in our sleep and pick our

pockets of hope

as well as hard earned cash,

while we feed these traitors

with lavish lives.

Oh you fiend, you, little bit of politics, in a general election who the f**k is going to vote the Dude, or the Corb, what f*****g choice do we have, cat s**t/ dog s**t is still a s**t sandwich in the end

Loved Oasis, thought Blur were s**t, and had a wee semi for Justine out of Elastica, lol

[Chris Shaw]

Strong words but every one of them speaks the truth. There are dark forces at play in this country trying to thwart the result of a referendum, the results which should have been implemented long before now. You know my views John. Well writ. Happy Saturday.

Yup we all know what is going on but are powerless as it is in the hands of those who act on our behalf! Happy Saturday to you too Chris.

We seem to be taxed to support those with ambitions with little regard for the people . The only difference between governments these days and organised crime is one is legalised.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh and often intertwined Andrew. Many thanks.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

This is really a good one;
a thoughtful piece to be precise.
I get the content, I like the lines.
This is really a good one,
I can't deny.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Kay.

establishment vs. real life....
big difference...the scale so tipped, they can only look down...and they do, upon us.
we are insignificant voices in the scheme of things
the rich rule without any understanding of what it is like to barely survive month to month, day to day.
but they sit in their halls of congress or senate or parliament and make rules pretending to govern for the people....but they have no idea really.
powerful write.

Yes Jacob in all parts of the world people are pawns and even more worthless. It explains to some degree the ability of politicians to send young men to fight for their greed. many thanks Jacob.
