The arrival of a reactionary pontiff on the streets of Edinburgh and Glasgow, much to the discomfort and discomfiture of the citizens of the above metropoles, was no coincidence. So far as the ruling elite are concerned, working people have had it too easy since the days of rationing and, since they cannot be brought to heel either by the masquerading hypocrisy which was part and parcel of the last papal visit at the time when the destruction of the Warsaw Pact was being planned, they must be taught another lesson in bowing to those wiser than themselves in ecclesiastical and political matters.
The sympathetic insinuation with which Pope Benedict is going to butter Cameron up is evidenced by a preview of what his political statements are going to be - we have got to back America in all things (including welfare reform): we have got to support "faith" schools in the name of religion, and we have got to support the family, a concept dear to David Cameron's Conservative heart. By these means, we shall create the "big society" (something of a change from the society composed of individuals, David!) and our rulers shall rule happily ever after - while we slave and starve for them.
Fortunately the unions have not lost their militant spirit, desirable as it is in these times of duress. Trade unionists are the only representatives the working man or woman has, and their muscle must be used to the full in our attempt to wrest power from the band of crooks and cut-throat politicians who have seized power in our name.
