The UK is delivering the JP Morgan state

Posted on

As George Monbiot notes this morning:

In various forms — Conservative, New Labour, the coalition — we have had the wrong government for 30 years. Across that period its undemocratic powers have been consolidated. It has begun to form an elective dictatorship, in which the three major parties are united in their desire to create a security state; to wage unprovoked wars; to defend corporate power against democracy; to act as a doormat for the United States; to fight political dissent all the way to the bedroom and the birthing pool. There's no need to wait for the "wrong" state to arise to conclude that mass surveillance endangers liberty, pluralism and democracy. We're there already.

They're delivering what J P Morgan is demanding.

We do, of course, need the Courageous State instead.
