WHAT IF ?

With the entire world in crisis with every country burdened by colossal National Debt it seems to me to be inevitable that there will be casualties,what is it they call it now,”collateral damage” and some sections of society could be sacrificed to ensure the survival of the rest.

To be sure it will not be discussed out in the open in Parliamentary debate matters such as these will be discussed behind closed doors in the same way as the German elite discusses,with all the calmness of a group of men organising a flower show, the destruction of millions of Gypsies. Homosexuals, disabled people and Jews.

Now let me see,how might it be made to work ,ah yes. With a population of disenfranchised young people for who, there are no jobs, less and less opportunity for further education, no chance of buying or even renting a home of their own,in short with no future. It is at this time that the government insists on older people being made to work far beyond the age of sixty five..

While this may and I stress may ,help the pension problem it will certainly make it harder for the youngsters to find work, and perchance cause them to resent the old who are in their way.

Massive cuts to benefits. Huge hikes on university costs, cuts in housing benefits, changes in child benefit …...and then the Government announces that the State Pension will be triple locked(I still think it a stupid expression)

Night not the disaffected young people begin to see the elderly as the cause of their poverty.

The overloaded N.H.S.is floundering under the weigth (quite literally we are told) of elderly obese, hospital beds are being taken up by old people with Altzheimers Disease, and other complaints peculiar to old age.

Every time \I have watched a news programme for months it has been the same tale Blame the old ,blame the old,blame the old..............................

This morning much was being made of the fact that the interest on savings might rise soon which will benefit the elderly......at least the ones who have savings. Notice that they do not mention the fact that these lifelong savers have reaped practically no benefit from their nest eggs for years,thanks to the crooked way in which banks and government have managed the economy.

It seems to me that a pattern is forming here and as a disabled person of past sixty years of age I am beginning to feel as the Jews in Germany must have felt shortly before Krystallnacht.

How long before people like me become targets for the rage of the young,

I excuse you if you feel that my suspicions are alarmist and yet how little do desperate people need to make them lash out at the thing which they feel is hurting them. Look again at Nazi Germany.

A people made desperate by years of punishing and humiliating treatment from the winners of World War 1 ,a people who were easy to divide and rule by unscrupulous politicians who gave them a common enemy....someone to blame....some one to hate........do you get my drift.
