Editor: This article has been written by our (Swamp) Westminster correspondent, Swampy, who is only happy when he is submerged in dirt, making him the right man for the job.
Red Brick understands that the age-old stone edifices, the House of Commons and the House of Lords, which are a throwback to a time when England was akin to the type of representation one would see whilst studying a painting by ‘John Constable,’ depicting an age of ‘simplicity, innocence and trust,’ are going to receive a makeover, although they will have to find another swamp to operate from in the meantime.
Constable was an English landscape painter who was born in Suffolk in 1776 and he found endless inspiration in the county’s rivers, meadows and skies, however, if alive today, he might struggle to find a few ‘untouched acres’ of countryside not already turned into the already millions, yet soon to be billions of ‘carbuncles’ concreted into England’s once ‘green and pleasant land.’ I’ll get back to Constable, soon.
Who knows which, if any, of the politicians and the thousands of Lords and Ladies, or the rest of them who have been invited onto the ‘gravy train (awarded titles) for having emptied the prime ministers bin, wiped his or her snotty beak, or having had to wipe the arses of toffs, have benefited through their access to the who’s who in political circles.
Having the ‘access’ must be tempting to take the plunge and make the odd ‘timely’ investment or two, or even to tip your mate or a family member the ‘wink,’ such as jumping aboard the ‘Green Dividend Choo-Choo Train’….no, not HS2, although if there was a credible body who followed the money on this project it might raise an eyebrow or two ….just saying.
No, what I was about to refer to was the sea of ‘inland’ windfarms, which seem to be everywhere and where they are not, they soon will be, sprouting up out of the ground like the ‘green shoots’ of a recovering British ‘economy’ the swampsters keep alluding to.
The ‘windless’ farms must be a ‘cert’ for those who have invested a few of their pennies into them, because they keep building them, therefore every share is a winner,’ for them anyways, but not the people who have been ‘robbed’ of their ‘panoramic view’ of the countryside; I mean, has anyone of you ever seen these things actually ‘windmilling’ around?
Yes, those rusting windfarms littering the United Kingdom full of what looks like an army of B-Movie ‘eyesore’ type creatures that have caused irreparable damage to the land and the wildlife, so perhaps these two internationally famous paintings of ‘Folkestone Harbour’ and ‘The Hay Wain’ by Constable if painted today would no longer look like this:
Folkstone Harbour.
Or this:
The Hay Wain.
But would now look more like these two images containing the often-lifeless monstrosities littering the UK’s green and pleasant etc, whilst standing as a testament to the rising energy bills due to these government publicly funded ‘money-spinners,’ spinning their way into the pockets of feck knows who, although most certainly not ours, am sure.
Anyways, back to that story on the relocation of the Swamp.
Whoopee! More elitist lavishness and decadence at the taxpayers’ expense, unless one of their brethren who has courted the careers of these swampies by donating tidy little sums of money [donations] to them, as they [swampies] slimed their way up the greasy pole of politics.
For example, perhaps one of their big pharma or big tech government chums whose party donations they receive, all under the umbrella of philanthropy, of course, donated by selfless souls wanting to make the world a better place by offloading their Krugerrands and sheckles towards building a more comfortable and suitable premises for big government to manage and deliver the expectations of the UK citizens both young and old.
Yeah, right, pish and tish. In what has become in a very short time a ‘low trust society’ within the UK where far too many people have an ‘angle,’ so forgive my cynicism when I reject any suggestions that ‘big business’ hands over its sovereigns and doubloons to ‘government’ without any expectation of being sent a ‘bit of business their way in return, notwithstanding any future dishing out of medals and gongs, that is, if they have not already been awarded a ‘plethora’ of ‘shiny-tin and colourful ribbons’ to adorn their dinner jackets.
At Red Brick we believe that any or all of the gifts or donations the swampies receive including after- dinner speaking and consultancy fees for services rendered as they say, should be put into the ‘public purse, however, more on this later when we state what we think their priorities should be. So, what will these temporary premises look like and where will they be located.
Well, we believe, along with our subscribers both home and abroad that, both premises and locations should be both suitable and befitting of their status through our own lens and perception, as well as those of our subscribers and of equal importance, how the UK general public views government, but more on that below.
The ‘crumbling’ Palace of Westminster containing its two Houses never seems to be out of the media these days regarding’ shady deals’ or someone’s ‘sleazy lifestyle’ being exposed by both the Social Media (SM) and Mainstream Media (MSM).
The UK public, the ones who are awake and have been for some time now and the ones slowly awakening to the illusion of UK democracy, must be feeling so detached from the politicians who swore to represent them.
I base my opinion not on my own supposition, but on a statement made by the World Economic Forum (WEF), you know, the one with the three sixes in its title, yes, the same WEF that ‘wotsizname,’ the Prime Minister of the UK publicly stated he would choose over Westminster, or to be more precise, he would choose his Elitist chums over Swampminster [UK]
Of course, I am referring to what has become one of the internet’s most infamous statements, or should I say ‘quote’ made by the then head of the WEF, Klause Schwab (KS), when he stated, ‘you,’ meaning us, ‘will own feck-all and be happy’ or words to that effect.
So, we best be stocking up on egg powder and flour etc, because it looks like we will be allowed to ‘eat cake’ as the saying goes, or whatever shite the elites want us to shove down our necks in the not-too-distant future, and if KS gets his way we will all be eating ‘zee bugz’ he told us about during the all-too-convenient ‘panademic-lurgy.’ Way to go Klaus, thanks!
Anyways, if the Houses are going to become defunct, restored or moved however temporary, then they should also be renamed and at Red Brick we think they should be renamed to what we have labelled them: Lower Swampminster (Commons) and Upper Swampminster (Lords).
Look, we have even made them two Houses fancy la-de-da house signs, which we believe are rather fetching:
Clearly, these alternative ‘house names’ are befitting of a parliament that appears to rest easy with the fact that many of its politicians have interests outside of government, including memberships to organisations where the members or the collective are not always, if at all, not publicly regulated where [to the outsider] the agendas are either not very clear or not publicly available.
Then there is the public scepticism as to why their political representatives [swampsters] must become members of these societies, when it is their politicians who have sworn to serve ‘them,’ them being the constituents, voters and any other pleb who is within the relevant catchment area.
Then there are any or all the benefits the politicians receive by being members of a society, such as payments for their ‘advice’ to whoever for whatever and how much they received.
The politicians within these societies are in a sense ‘publicly owned’ and any benefits they receive should be invested back into the public funds, especially when it is by the grace of the voters [taxpayers/us] who enabled them, at least in part, heightening their profiles and worthiness, attracting invitations for them to become members of societies operating independently of ‘us,’ or even government for that matter and or even any other relevant regulatory body
The ‘grace’ we bestowed upon the swampies is a grace that should not be without ‘favour,’ the favour being the rewards given back to the voters and their communities as good will for the grace the everyday people bestowed upon them, which of course might be happening day in and day out, however, I remain cynical about this, although not wholly, but certainly in part.
Sadly, the soul-seeker has been unable to make an appearance in this article to explain who he is and what exactly it is he does.
This is down to having to do his own paperwork, which he is buried under and he told us it’s a mundane task, especially as the UK Government Faganisters (tax people) require both his arm and leg before he can become a fully paid-up member, servant and a slave to the UK system of taxation for another tax year.
His ‘duties’ have been made even more demanding because he had to release his clerical staff due to the rise in employer national insurance contributions, and the criminally manufactured over-the top taxes invented by The New Labour Fabian Party, something they omitted to tell the people who were duped into voting for them.
So, you see, he is buried under paperwork preparing for what will be a busy time after the next General Election and with all the taxes The Labour, New Labour, Fabian, World Economic Supporting UK One-Party System of Government have introduced, he had to lay all of his staff off.
Finally, yes, the political soul-seeker is as much a part of this 3-part article series, especially as the title of these articles places him centre-stage, it’s just that he demands we provide some context, which we have done, before making his first appearance and in any case, he has to find us an availability window, although he has promised us one.
And finally, finally, we will endeavour to, hopefully, publish article two without too many digressions, whether they be mine or Red Brick’s, however, we cannot promise that will be the case either wholly or….in part.
And with that folks I will see you in Article Two where I look at one of the societies many of the swampsters are affiliated to and you might be surprised at the numbers.
