The horror of the Grenfell Fire where the aesthetic needs of the rich were put before the safety of the poor marks, I think, a serious moment in the decay of the ruling Tory Party in Britain. The truth is that the tower of flats housing the poor was covered up with cheap cladding to protect the property values in the rich neighborhood. The Tory Prime Minister, known as Maybot, is totally incapable of even feigning a humane response. She is for fox hunting, ivory trading and grammar schools but not for meeting people. She seems without the capacity to make a cliche sound sincere and surely that is a fatal weakness for a politician. One can imagine what Bill Clinton would have done here. Clinton could do empathy endlessly and effortlessly and totally insincerely. May has only her posh accent and that does not cut it in this case. She survives for the moment though she is universally hated within and without her party. Tories know that if she goes now then the whole rotten edifice of Toryism would collapse. Are we on the threshold of a systemic crisis in England? Could this be the European Spring that I have dreamed off for decades and decades? Are the poor about to rise up? I can almost hear Richard Seymour shaking his head and saying we must be sober and serious, but the questions do not appear so mad even if the Tory Government can survive. comradely Gary <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
