After the Collapse: Who Gets the Blame?

The Crime We Enabled, The Reckoning We Face

The era and system we are leaving behind have inflicted profound harm on countless individuals, communities, and the environment—driven by nothing more than the pursuit of profit.

Exploitation intensified at every available opportunity. Once all legal avenues had been exhausted to enrich and empower those in control, laws, leadership, and even the cultural values of entire nations were reshaped—through corruption, manipulation, or acts of war—to ensure that nothing could obstruct their dominance. This power was sustained by the flow and accumulation of money and material wealth.

There is no crime without consequence. When wrongdoing is legitimised through the manipulation of moral and legislative frameworks, its impact extends far beyond those directly involved. The consequences ripple outward, affecting society at large.

To restrict, obstruct, manipulate, disenfranchise, impoverish, exclude, or punish individuals through a system of governance deliberately designed to criminalise or disadvantage them is among the gravest of injustices. Especially when such a system is constructed to appear not only legal but morally justified—implying that the victims are wrong simply for being victims, while the perpetrators and their enablers remain shielded by the very structure they created.

Few will ever fully grasp the complexity, depth, and reach of this crime against humanity. And while many of its architects and agents may claim ignorance—saying, “we didn’t understand what was happening”—the truth is that their contributions required active consent. At some point, each person involved had to suppress or ignore the moral questions that would have inevitably surfaced in their conscience.

These reflections may seem to call for punishment of every official, politician, or influential figure involved. But before we demand retribution, we must confront a difficult truth: nearly all of us have, in some way, contributed to the perpetuation of this system. Many of us have benefited from its processes and outcomes, even if unknowingly.

Though we may not be innocent, our participation has not always been conscious. The system’s reach and success have made it nearly impossible to function in the world without engaging with it. We must consider that many who enabled its continuation may have genuinely believed they were simply “going along with it” or doing things “the way they’ve always been done.”

In some cases—particularly in junior roles involving routine tasks rather than decision-making—this may warrant forgiveness. But for those who actively sought positions of influence, whose decisions directly affected the lives of others, there is a deeper question: were they truly suited to those roles if they failed to act in the best interests of all?

Seeking power or public office for self-serving reasons, especially in roles meant to serve others, may not be a crime in itself. Yet it reveals a troubling lack of awareness or concern for the consequences of failing to meet the responsibilities those roles demand.

We must recognise that the system has evolved to favour individuals who are malleable—less likely to question their role in perpetuating harm. Their selfishness and moral indifference complicate the question of punishment, especially when victims have also participated, and some perpetrators may themselves be unwitting victims.

Ultimately, the true blame lies with the architects, designers, and strategists who built the mechanisms of exploitation and manipulated others into fulfilling their roles within it. Even then, their actions stem not from empathy or understanding, but from the darker impulses of human nature.

Anger toward those who knowingly or unknowingly participated is understandable. But it cannot justify retaliation.

True accountability lies not in vengeance, but in removing these individuals from positions of influence—ensuring they can never again exploit others, communities, or the environment through their decisions or actions.

Were Labour set up to be ‘Custodians of the Collapse’?

One of the biggest myths in politics today is the suggestion that all of the Political Parties that we have on offer have some long-standing and credible philosophy that drives them from their base.

The Conservatives have forgotten what it is to be conservative. The Liberal Democrats are idealogues whose idea of liberalism has a very undemocratic form. Reform is at best Re-Ukipping and attempting to steal every Conservative Politician. Whilst Labour has nothing in common with the workers they once so fiercely represented, whose social and economic problems they now openly resent.

Whilst a large proportion of the UK population are very angry with politicians from right across the spectrum as it stands today, we still fall into the trap of believing that anyone who has become a politician or an MP is not only up to the job but should be treated with deference. Because being elected has made them special in some way.

Sadly, the days when we could rely upon any of the politicians or public representatives having the best interests of the public at heart in all that they do are very long gone.

The Political Parties select the candidates that we find on our ballot papers, meaning that we all have at best a ‘fixed choice’. And the choices that the Political Parties themselves make today represent a downward trajectory in leadership quality that has seen poor leader after poor leader surround themselves with even poorer leaders, which then makes up the pool from whom the next choice of an even poorer leader is inevitably made.

Even the best interviewers would struggle to uncover anything genuine or authentic about any of the people who are making the decisions that affect all of our lives. Yet we maintain the habit of taking everything these people say at face value, whilst too often falling into the trap that suggests going against the common or accepted narrative makes us wrong in some way.

What are today’s ‘politicians’ really there to do?

It has been said that if the general population understood how the economy and financial system worked, there would be a revolution tomorrow.

Yet we cannot even be sure that the Prime Minister really understands what this statement could mean. Beyond what he is being advised everyday by ‘experts’ and ‘special advisors’, who themselves also have myopic views of the world and are following their own agendas in many different ways.

The ‘growth’ that politicians obsess with isn’t the same ‘growth’ that normal people would typically think.

Yes, growing’ businesses does play a very small part.

But the growth that means so much to the political classes is the expansion of GDP or Gross Domestic Product. Which we might otherwise recognise as the financial productivity of the UK over a set period of time that can be measured in some way.

Growing GDP allows politicians to hide public debt and their expenditure.

Growing GDP and what they are referring to as ‘growth’, are the only tools poor leaders know how to use to solve problems, by showing the debt and expenditure as a percentage or proportion of the ‘economy’ for whichever period of time the reference point might be.

The entire economic and financial model that exists and which politicians are now struggling to maintain can only remain functional for as long as GDP and the money in circulation grows.

Because the same global model has already stripped the UKs traditional industries and tools of production from under us making the few already fabulously rich, there is very little left that can be used as a credible excuse for printing money.

This is why politicians are importing reasons to spend and create more money, whilst they use forked tongues to tell us they are committed to solutions that don’t face the same way.

Making us poor whilst destroying every means for us to solve the problems ourselves

As GDP and the money in circulation grows, the value of the money we have and the income we are expecting goes down and down.

The rich get richer whilst the poor get poorer and the whole system depends upon increasing wealth inequality so that those who already have more can keep getting more.

GDP came into being as the economic reference point at the same time that we lost the Gold Standard, and the FIAT monetary system took over in the period around 1971.

It is no accident that this was the same unhappy chapter of our history when UK politicians pushed us towards what was then The Common Market and what we now know as The EU.

As a localised global project, the EU ‘project’ was always about money and control being progressively handed to the world’s elites, whilst an ever-grimmer shit sandwich was all that was left for me and for you.

The neoliberal orthodoxy that underpinned all of this has been applied consistently and progressively over the past 50+ years to ensure that community and national identity has evaporated, whilst small, independent businesses of every kind are no longer viable, and any form of industry, service provision or the supply of food or goods that are essential to everyday life, have been placed under the control of fewer and fewer profiteering and controlling hands.

Puppet governance

None of this would have been possible without the help and commitment of generations of politicians who have been useful idiots for those who benefit from a system that is destroying our humanity, and everything good and of real value that we know.

Those benefitting have always been very generous to politicians and public servants in ways that appeal to the materially and glory-seeking weak minded, who have become corrupted by the system and the way that everything actually works, pretty much as soon as the votes that elected them have been counted or they have that plumb job, and the soundproof doorway from the real world into the Westminster corridors has closed behind them.

They quickly conclude that they are now the all-seeing, all hearing and all-knowing gods, amongst other gods who think exactly the same.

Dead Cats and indoctrinated amnesia

People have very short memories when it comes to politics, especially when things are feeling particularly bad.

Indeed, for many it seems easy to forget just how bad the Conservatives under Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak really were.

So, it seems unfathomable that Labour could actually be picking up where the Tories left off, and that’s why things are just getting even worse, whilst it’s the Conservatives at whom Labour are pointing the finger of blame – whilst they continue doing exactly the same.

You may not believe what you are reading. And that we are not supposed to is the whole point.

There is NOTHING between any of the Political Parties that we have to choose from today. Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem or Reform.

They are all as Establishment as each other, and as things stand today will continue the pathway of UK destruction, no matter how the next government may be formed.

The stupidity of our politicians and the void of leadership they created has opened the door to a very dark reality. Will it step in?

We were once free to ignore or mock the presence of voices such as Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson. We jumped on the let’s-call-it-extremism bandwagon that the mainstream narrative afforded us, regrettably at the expense of precluding different opinions that could have done us a lot of good, if we had the good sense to listen and hear them long before now.

We don’t have that luxury anymore. Anyone would be a fool to ignore the danger of some ‘new’ movement quickly being fashioned across the restless and frustrated corners of our society, that will be more than happy up step into the void that has been created by the absence of genuine political leadership for such a long time.

The decision of our politicians not to listen, rather than using public office to do whatever the hell they and their political party’s want hasn’t come without a heavy, steadily accumulating cost.

The ignorance of a brewing undercurrent of very normal people who are sick and tired of being the butt end of every public policy our politicians now deliver, whilst policies that run contrary to what would be good for everyone are relentlessly pursued, means that we may soon reach a tipping point when everyday British people will simply say ‘no more’.

Whilst it has become popular to blame racism for any view or thought which can be considered contra-narrative, the problems caused by the failure of the progressive multicultural project are only part of a much bigger, quickly growing problem.

It has become a cultural norm for politicians to engage in what is probably best called political gaslighting, where the mainstream media adeptly help them create the idea in our minds that anyone who suffers from any one of the growing injustices of our time is suffering alone and that everything is rosy for everyone else.

However, the victims of useless politicians are not alone. People are realising this in ever greater numbers and those responsible are on a fast track to being found out.

Even more of us are going to realise that the cost of living crisis, explosive inflation of the prices of the essentials and basics that everyone needs, the collapse of public services, and everything that real people believe to be wrong, but the narrative tells us is right, are definitely wrong and have been created deliberately, through someone else’s incompetence or design.

These things didn’t just happen to any of us in a way that politicians suggest. These are wrongs that weren’t unavoidable. And even the merest hint that we brought it all upon ourselves is not only unjust; it is an outright lie.

As more and more realise this, people are going to join the groups and movements that some very angry people lead, with consequences that could quickly be disastrous for us all.

Not least of all, because there isn’t currently any kind of sensible or reasoned choice that actually represents anything different to what we have already got.

Regrettably, it would take much bigger politicians than the ones we have already got, to recognise their own folly and for them all to step aside so that they can be replaced by genuine public representatives. Good politicians and leaders who genuinely understand, accept and are motivated by the reality that we elect politicians to make decisions which will have outcomes that are always in the best interests of us all.

It’s anyone’s guess how long we have got and what event or issue will prove to be the last straw.

However, change is coming. And when push comes to shove, we can only hope that Lady Luck is shining, and we have leaders available who will step in and do their best for us, rather than doing only what is best for themselves.
