The damage that deference brings

 

Subject: The damage that deference brings

Words are not the same as actions and one of problems we have in our political system is that the craft of a political promises means nothing without a resulting outcome.

Our Prime Minister was questioned this morning as to her program of tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of the poor, that the inflation caused by her actions always effects the poor the most. Her project of incentivising business, or at least the leaders of business in the hope that they will be encouraged to be expansive and increase investment in their business is all based on the assumption that the wealthy will play the game and not simply put it all into their Cayman Islands account.  It's a flawed theory given mankind's propensity to covert  themselves first and foremost leaving the rest to fend for themselves. The Indian caste system is more honest than the English class system, at least there's less deceit in the pecking order which is defined at birth.

There is simply so little in common between the poor and the wealthy, the one passes the other as if they didn't exist and the concept of caring is just ridiculous other than in cliche riddled platitudes.

Make no mistake this Truss/Kwarteng combo is a right wing push for more power, an ideological putsch to roll back the gains in civilised commerce for a more Victorian model based on the power of capital. M/S Truss is the plaything of the Adam Smith Institute, she hasn't the intellect to formulate policy herself and relys on the think tanks to do the job for her.

If we were to revert to the poverty of the soup kitchen of men begging for work at the factory gate, if we were to have a workforce without any rights and were to employ people only short term and expect them to reserve their time for when you called, if they had no sick pay or paid holidays, if the conditions of work and the work place were unregulated then you have what we have termed the Gig economy, but wait, we have that now and M/S Truss still thinks the workers of Britain have it too easy. She confuses  productivity with the hours worked and the wages paid, and where as most productive economies have found a respected workforce, trained and continually retrained to do the work entrusted on them, giving them modern equipment and a plan which puts the workforce at the centre of the plan. But none of this is in the psyche of the British manager who, having born the slings and arrows of an antiquated management structure to get where he of she is, often without any such training the inferiority complex vis a vis  fellow workers never allows them to expand the management opportunity to others in their workforce.

It's the curse of deference, to be damaged in such a way, that when you have some power you do your upmost to see others are excluded from it.
