So today it looks like, by voting Conservative, the UK electorate voted for:
– Accepting and accelerating climate change and its consequences on behalf of future generations. This will be beefed up with airport expansion, fracking and subsidies for oil exploration.
– Privatization and breakup of the NHS with a bonanza for consultants, lawyers and accountants.
– UK exit from the EU, further facilitating the sell-off of UK assets and isolating us from our natural allies.
– Dismantling our system of justice and replacing it with justice for those who can afford it, with a privatized and unaccountable forensic service conducted in secrecy. Probation services will be privatized with real criminals unlikely to face justice and public servants under continued reassure to massage crime figures.
– Continued non-evidence-based tampering with our education system with relentless bullying of teachers and more free schools (which appear to have catapulted Sweden down the academic league tables).
– A massive devolution of our rights to the United States without any referendum through TTIP.
– Further degradation of our natural environment at the behest of rich landowners with destruction of soil through poor land management practices and shipping valuable fresh rain water out to sea as fast as possible through dredging of rivers.
– Huge prestige infrastructure projects without a proper evidence base.
– A civil service where business sectors are invited in to write their own regulations and do their own oversight.
– A naïve and fawning relationship with China.
– and a whole lot more …
I guess these are the new ‘British values’.
