The Big Society (or, if you're reading subtitles, 'The Dave Deception')

David Cameron has written for the Daily Telegraph today, setting out his vision for the 'Big Society'.

Those who attempt to read it might well be excused for coming away from the article none the wiser, for it is - if you'll excuse the phrase - pure bollock speak.

There's only one sentence that appears to make any sense in and amongst the complete balls passing itself off as meaningful English. This one:

"...public services should be open to a range of providers competing to offer a better service."

Or, in subtitles, privatisation and/or competitive tendering.

Is that about it, Dave? Did I get the gist?

Naturally, privatisation and competitive tendering have long been associated (not) with:

"...the breakdown in our society: the family breakdown and community breakdown that has done so much damage to people's lives..."

Unless, of course, you're talking about the way privatised companies have seen their profits sky rocket whilst none of us can afford anything, any more.

Don't get me wrong - I have not suddenly turned into a rampant socialist.

But it would appear to me that Jeremy Clarkson (hat tip: Witterings from Witney) has more of a clue about how to use the notion of community co-operation in order to improve and retain public services and add in community interaction than Dave has managed to outline in his 'Big Society' vision.

Let's look at that sentence again:

"...public services should be open to a range of providers competing to offer a better service."

And make themselves a shitload of money. Bet it doesn't result in lower taxes, better services, or improvement in the values of society at all.

All it will result in is the further corporate takeover of Britain by the corporatist, global elite.

'The Big Society'..?

'The Dave Deception', more like.

And with Parliament now crawling with Bilderberg Group members, it's not difficult to see where it's all heading.

Addendum: Scary, when I find myself on the same side and reaching the same conclusions as The Guardian and the trade unions.
