Part 4 - CONCLUSION
But despite all this, the ultimate failure lies with the British public. They had the chance of voting for a kind, decent man whose social policies included a new green industrial revolution, free education for all at any age, the public ownership of resources, and free dental check-ups. Instead, they chose to swallow the lies about Corbyn, presumably because those lies touch something wicked in their hearts. They chose to vote for a proven liar and opportunist who has spent his entire political career kicking working-class voters in the face.
They chose to take away the hopes of the poorest children who, this Christmas, won’t have nice toys, but instead will rely on the kindness of strangers to nourish them at foodbanks, which is now a business model.
Instead, 14 million voters gave that hope to a man who would rather steal a journalist’s phone than take responsibility for a child lying on a hospital floor due to bed shortages; a man who would rather hide in a walk-in freezer on live television than face scrutiny.
They chose to elect a government dedicated to kicking them in the face just to get their Brexit, which, as they will soon discover, is and always was an ultra-neoliberal agenda designed to make Britain the 51st state of the USA.
Their self-inflicted wounds will now scar the rest of us. Our only hope is that the impact of Johnson’s policies will make Labour more appealing in half a decade’s time, assuming the Blairite faction doesn’t win the impending leadership contest.
