Religion on its way out, except for the
Muslims who want to bomb or convert everyone else. Unless you’re over sixty and
desperate, the dummies in dog collars have little that’s new to say to anybody
except the same old message seasonally dragged out of its coffin and freshed up
with oil of Ulay. Yeah, yeah… everyone knows. He died for us all so put it back
in its box. That’s not blasphemy, it’s part of the new social, economic and
political reality supplied by Gordon Brown and the financial swindlers of the
City of London. And now the Liberal Democrats have been spewing the same dirt
and chewing the same cud with the Tories while pretending they’re virgins, in
Government for the first time and still learning to open their legs.
Women turning to crystals? In the last week
we’ve heard from the Liberal Democrat cheesies, the UKIP nasties and what used
to be Labour, and soon we’ll be hearing from the dag-arsed Tories. But wait,
let’s stop and dwell for a moment about what any decent, intelligent woman
might have made of it so far. And I’ll try to be brief.
So what do you get from Nick Clegg that
will make you turn away from the promise of crystals and the healing balm of
Rose Quartz. I suppose it’s all spoiled in the first place because we all know
that the Lib-Dems are a bunch of plain liars. But just let me add a couple more
things to help you want to go out and buy crystals. Talk about quartz crystals
giving you ‘energy’, Ed Davey, the Lib-Dem Secretary of State for Energy was a
very quiet man at Conference and for good reason. While he’s been on the job
the suspicion has grown that the big six energy suppliers have got together to
form a price fixing cartel. Many of their executives now work within his Department
but nobody quite knows what they’re doing there! Furthermore, a major report
about price fixing in the Energy Market due to be released some time back seems
to have disappeared! What we do know however is this. Energy prices on the
wholesale market from the producers to the suppliers have fallen by some 30% in
the last two years only none of it has been passed on to domestic users!
Instead, prices of gas and electricity to domestic consumers from the time the
Lib Dems took over at Energy have risen by some 20%. No wonder so many women
are turning to crystals for a source of energy when they can’t get it cheap
from the Lib-Dems in Coalition running the show.
In his Conference speech Nick Clegg told
the big lie that his Party had effectively checked Tory Party excesses. For
years the Lib-Dems made a big splash in the media that they were against
excessive bankers bonuses in the Financial Services Industry and would
determine the direction the Government took in the matter. Now as we see in the
news, the Tory-Lib Dem Coalition Government is taking the European Commission
to Court over its recent legislation, supported
by every nation in the EC except Britain, to curb bankers bonuses. Effectively,
the only Government in Europe against it is the Tory-Lib Dem Coalition. Little wonder that most women would rather
rub a crystal than rub shoulders with a rascal like Clegg!
And now UKIP! For one thing women don’t
like being called sluts, Mr Farage, and your intention of putting our system of
criminal justice into the hands of the police is equally nasty. To make the
police responsible for deciding who is or is not to be prosecuted under the law
is to forget the ghastly things they’ve been up to in recent times. The
shootings, the beatings, the deaths in custody, the manipulation, manufacture
and falsification of evidence and the countless miscarriages of justice for
which they were responsible… Never mind Europe! Your domestic policies here at home
are as reactionary as your attitudes to women. It’s easy to talk about replacing
the Lib-Dems as Britain’s third largest Party in coming elections when you know
they’re a pushover anyway. They may be liars but your gang are as equally
unsavory and no substitute for the solace of Rose Quartz or the balancing
qualities of Bloodstone. The mirror of British politics may be cracked but
people still won’t go for a mob who are quite frankly politically crackers unless
of course the entire population’s from Essex.
As for the Labour Party Conference, Ed
Miliband it seems has acquitted himself admirably. Not long ago he showed
character and courage by being instrumental in refusing to take the British
people into a War with Syria. At the Conference he spoke for millions of
ordinary people by standing up to the Energy Suppliers’ Cartel and announcing a
Labour Government, if elected in 2015, would freeze energy prices for 2 or more
years. He well knows what these rascals are doing. Endlessly raising prices to
domestic consumers while wholesale prices are falling and passing their vast
profits to shareholders who rake in the cash on the backs of the poor.
So what kind of people are they who run the
Energy Companies? Within hours of Miliband’s speech they were threatening cuts
in energy supplies if a Miliband Labour Government cut their prices. A cut in energy supplies? A power blackout?
Now what does such a threat actually mean? I’ll tell you. It means cutting
the supply of power for cooking, heating and lighting, and the use of water and
toilet facilities to tens of millions of people, many of them elderly and sick.
It means cutting the supply of heating and lighting to hospitals. WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS IS HOLDING THE
PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY TO RANSOM!
WHAT
SUCH A THREAT ACTUALLY MEANS IS THAT THESE PEOPLE CLEARLY CARE MORE ABOUT THE
INTERESTS OF THEIR SHAREHOLDERS THAN THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY AND ARE THEREFORE
MORALLY UNFIT TO RUN THEIR INDUSTRY.
NOW
OF COURSE IF TRADES UNIONS ACTED TOGETHER IN A STRIKE THE TORY PRESS WOULD SAY
THEY WERE HOLDING THE COUNTRY TO RANSOM AND TELL CAMERON TO CALL OUT THE TROOPS!
BUT SO FAR, NO A WORD ABOUT THE FAR MORE SERIOUS THREAT FROM THEIR FRIENDS RUNNING
THE ENERGY SUPPLY INDUSTRY!
In the hours after Miliband’s announcement
the news media were on the rush on behalf of the Energy Companies to call him
Red Ed. It’s the usual kind of slur they reserve for any politician who says
anything ‘left’ of Margaret Thatcher, particularly the ex-Nazi friendly Daily
Mail! Firstly what Miliband said was neither socialist nor ‘red’. Socialist
would have been a message to the Energy Cartel… LOWER YOUR PRICES AND STOP BEING
HATEFUL TO YOUR CUSTOMERS OR WE’LL NATIONALISE YOU WITHOUT COMPENSATION!
But Ed Miliband’s a Social Democrat not a Socialist and the Labour Party today,
such as it is, is the Party of people like Peter Mandelson who only days later
publically urged his Party leader to be cautious.
However Miliband’s announcement was
something important. And as equally important perhaps was to see the decent,
warm, caring working class women who’ve worked in the social services of this
country most of their lives, speaking out against the attacks made on the NHS,
the Welfare State and its Social Services and care provisions by the Tories and
their Liberal Democrat allies in Government. And likewise the caring
responsible and humane interest and concern of Trades Unionists about the
pensions of workers rather than concerns to protect Executive Bonuses by Vince
Cable and the Liberal Democrats.
Here, briefly in front of our eyes, we had
those who were GOOD standing out against those who were BAD and others like
UKIP who were frankly plain UGLY.
However in defence of Cameron’s Tories, it
should be said that these people are not bad or evil. They are who they are.
They care about the City Speculators, they want to break up and destroy our
Welfare State and likewise our National Health Service which they want to turn
over to greedy money-makers. In their own eyes they’re fine. They regard
financial speculators and company executives as creators of wealth. These are
the people they care about, not working people who make things. Tories are
Tories, it’s the Liberal Democrats who are BAD. They tell lies and are
endlessly scheming for power.
UKIP on the other hand are simply plain
UGLY so let’s look at their affinity for crystals and crystal healing. Okay,
can you imagine anyone in UKIP, men or women, being into crystals. Firstly can
you imagine Nigel Farage wearing a Quartz crystal pendant or Godfrey Bloom one
of Rose Quartz? What beer swilling healthy male member of UKIP could ever
believe that crystals would help him get rid of Europe? UKIP women, on the
other hand all look as if they need solace, but not from crystals. It’s the
warm hand of paternalistic companionship they seek, the traditional values of
pipe smoking Britishness, not any New Age liberal-type values. For members of
UKIP crystals and the old style of Britishness don’t go. Crystals are
‘European’, they’re an unzip-a-banana kind of Frenchiness leeching out to
corrupt plain British common sense values. Call us UGLY if you like but we want to be
British and we don’t want your softy healing shit!
Okay, how about crystals and the Tories? For
Tory male Parliamentarians, members of the Party or most of their voters, many with
compulsory tattoos and aggressive bull terriers, crystals and crystal healing
aren’t on. For those with the Essexite mentality in particular, it’s the stuff
that pansies are made of, and can you imagine any of the Tory Front Bench
wearing crystals in public let alone Chris Grayling believing in healing! For
middle class Tory women on the other hand, a little Rose Quartz or Amethyst
crystal set in silver on a silver chain as a gift from their husband is at
least a possibility. Forget the healing side of it though. It’s got to be
decorative, charming. Just a touch of the ‘liberal-Camerons’ if you will
revealing the softer side of Toryism! Definitely not for lower middle class
women who prefer a Rose somewhere else. Generally speaking crystals and Tories
don’t go, and crystal healing and Tories definitely
don’t go. The healing side of it smells of spirituality, of aspects of the
soul, and if they need that kind of thing they’ll chat to the vicar.
Let’s move on to Liberal Democrats! Okay,
Simon Hughes wearing a crystal, or Vince Cable checking up on his chakras?
Really! When Liberal Democrats aren’t scheming or lying or deluding themselves
are they really likely to walk around wearing Quartz Crystals hoping to boost
their energy levels. Or if it’s Rose Quartz hoping to spread love. No, their faith
is entirely political. A sure belief that they’re doing an important job keeping
their Tory partners in check. A political faith that everyone in the country
will love them because they’re honorable! That they’re doing what’s right for
the country, joke, joke! Why should they
need any healing when they’re continually being healed by their own political
self-righteousness? Okay, you might get some forthright Lib-Dem lady
wearing a bit of ‘Rosy’ at a cheesy-on-a-stick party just to show her fellow
corporate executives or lawyers just how eclectic Lib-Dem values can be, but it
never goes as far as any of the healing shit. Oh
my goodness me no! That means other people getting into your head and that’s
only reserved for The BELOVED leader!
Finally Labour! Try to imagine Peter
Mandelson if you will wearing a crystal on a leather thong when he meets up
with his Russian billionaire businessmen friends! There he is by the pool on
some yacht, in tight little trunks wearing his crystal! Now really? And it’s
the same for any of Labor’s Front bench boys in the Commons or Lords, the same
for any of the Trades Union Leaders, officials, or main Party workers.
Crystals? Crystal healing? We’re serious people here. Fighting for a better
Britain. A Britain for Everyone. Suggest you take yourself off to The Green
Party or Friends of the Earth. They’re interested in rocks and vegetables! And
of Labour’s electorate? Well most of its still from the traditional working
class Midlands and North, not the underclass there who don’t vote. Working
class men, wherever, are pragmatic. They’re not interested in the decorative
charms of crystals and besides, they’ve got spiritual interests and alliances
of another kind once every Saturday that the media make sure last for a week. Healing
is when the team win or cod & chips fills a gap. And they can’t be bothered
indulging their wives or girlfriends with something pretty on a silver chain,
not least till Christmas, because they haven’t the money for it. Season tickets
don’t come cheap you know. Besides, healing is bollocks. If there’s something
not right then go to the doctors, not someone talking energy shit! Labour’s
electorate, together with its decent, caring, hardworking membership who keep
the NHS and Social Services running don’t have time for abstractions outside of
reality. They’re concerned with real people and for them, the way to heal the
spiritual sickness of finance destroying the health of our country is to work
to get rid of the Tories, not walk around wearing a crystal or think that
crystal healing will make anything better.
In summary, discounting the membership and
electorate of these political parties, who is it that buys and wears crystals
and believes in the power of crystal healing? If it’s a growing number of
people as I’ve claimed in an earlier post then it is indeed a fair questions.
Who then are these people?
Well now let me tell you! They are neither
emphatically Tory, Labour, Lib Dem or UKIP. They may be a little bit of one or a
little bit of the other and maybe even a little bit of each but the party they
spiritually belong to, whose values they more or less accept, where they may
find in one another a growing inner subscription to the new belief of the
healing power of crystals is The Crystal Healing Party. Its electorate is a growing force in our society and sooner or
later it’s inevitable that politicians of all the main established Parties take
cognizance of it and recognize its growing power as a force in our society. We
do not as yet seek political power. The leaders of the main political parties,
indeed the political establishment may rest assured… there is no current
intention to field candidates for either local, national or European elections.
However the voice of crystal healing is
being increasingly heard. The spirituality and values of its adherents becoming
increasingly known around the fringes of the party political system. We ask for
nothing. Neither that you listen, nor that you accept. Our enlightened system
of healing is a growing popular view. Something that one day you may have to
consider. We are the new faith. The new coming force to be reckoned with.
Benign, enlightened, individualistic yet communal.
Should any of the leaders of the main
political parties seek to look to the future, be part of the dawn of the growing
enlightenment then you are welcome to write to me. We can talk, and
understanding your needs I would be happy to send you a crystal!

If you've enjoyed reading this post and others in the series, why not try reading some of the novels I've written? One is a highly enjoyable black satire about the English Literary Racket and what unknown writers have to do to try and get their work published. It exposes the whole dirty world of literary agents, celebrity writers, journalists and publishers and it tells you the truth. I know, I've been through it all.
A CONSPIRACY OF TRASH is a story that Rupert Murdoch's book publishing company Harper Collins, the largest in the UK, refused to publish. You can download the Foreword on Amazon for free if you like, and if you want to read more it will cost just 99 cents or around 75 pence. Above all I hope you enjoy it and that it makes you laugh because I enjoyed writing it.
The story has many different characters and one or two heroes. It also has a serious message. About the people who really control publishing and the kind of books they allow you to read. All the publishers refused to give this black comedy a public hearing. They pose as liberals, believers in free speech but they're nothing of the kind and the thing they fear most is satire. If you read A CONSPIRACY OF TRASH you'll understand why.
Another great read is my Science Fiction novel THE ADVENTURES OF A MAROONED SPACEMAN told in two parts. It’s a story about a human being’s struggle to survive after being dumped on an alien world after his Starcruiser is attacked by space pirates. It’s a real thriller about human endurance and the triumph of a man against all the odds.
Finally you’ll really enjoy my exciting human interest drama THE BROTHERS PAGE, A VERY ENGLISH NOVEL, about a working class family up north, two brothers and their sister, who make it out of a tough grinding background to achieve happiness, fame and fortune. Through it all the guiding spirit is Ma Page, who nurtures her family through many adventures. This is a story full of happiness and romance where true love is found. A great family tale full of hard work and ambition, optimism and hope. Something that will warm the hearts of those who find life tough and dispiriting today. You can likewise get some free download from Amazon to experience the spirit of the story and to buy it is cheap. I promise you’ll enjoy it!
