The scale of the challenge is shocking us into action | John Harris
means of protest, we find a new left-wing politics may encourage inequality evident in the focus of public debate
last week in the wake of David Cameron, to exercise their right of veto in Brussels, which was sent to patrol the West Midlands region and shows the public's views. When I asked a woman if we stay in the European Union or out, his answer said it all. "Do not have an iota of difference anyway," he said. "The country is screwed."
This is the spirit of the time. But these times are not entirely without hope.Throughout 2011, have been repeatedly reminded of a new policy to the left, with a power of zero in the most obvious inequalities in the world after the crisis, and the reader to the focus of public debate. First, was stirred at the beginning of the last century in what is called anti-globalization movement. However, 2011 marked the arrival decisive. Despite the recent identification of the Time magazine person of the year, the protest took much of its justification from the Arab spring, which applies both to events in the United States, Europe and the UK " / AA>
first, then, a salute amazed Uncut UK, including the visibility of this year reached its peak when supporters occupied Fortnum & Mason in London, in March, the TUC for an alternative and was ambushed by police. Nine months later, we ended the year with the Commons committee on public accounts to issue a report on more than $ 25 billion "solve" the corporate tax bills, and "sweetheart" deals apparently born between The Revenue & Customs, and Vodafone and Goldman Sachs - and validation of almost every word, without cuts in the UK shouted about tax evasion by large companies. Why is this inevitable? I can not say better than the online group own propaganda. "Because of the actions organized from Aberystwyth to Edinburgh to Nottingham ... ... Tunbridge Wells for the work of protest. "After launching a major fundraising campaign, uncut UK has launched a judicial review process focuses on up to 20 million pounds of tax obligations that HMRC Goldman is said to have passed over . In this context, the amounts of money to peanuts. However, given the centrality of the company says both sad events in the euro area - evidenced by the backstories of the new European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, the Italian Prime Minister, Mr. Mario Monti, PM and Greece Lucas Papademos - this part of the story will resonate beautiful symbolic. grassroots activists with a light on an organization with a network of influence is generally described as a neo-liberal version of Freemasonry Then the group of tents near San Pablo, and the people in the heart of London is the manifestation of an earthquake of Christmas, while fighting against evictions and misunderstandings - at least not by people on the left. Of course, your own comparison to the rebels of Tahrir Square can grate. Of course, there were frequent occasions when the process of collective thinking has eluded even his own supporters. But those who seem almost offended by the occasional lack of ingenuity and apparent ideological core to consider two things. The first is the small matter of achievements occupy LSX sends the Church of England in a twist, Rowan Williams, has suddenly had to adapt to what he calls "the deep frustration with financial institution, "which has caused endless coverage of the Corporation of London Byzantine. and play an important role at the touch of a range of issues around equality that started a snowball in the culture of mid-October- Second, non-doctrinaire occupy the opening that made an object of public curiosity, and leads to a brilliant demonstration of awareness accessible. In short, have done even a tenth of its impact - and scraped 40% of the population to support their general views - if the basic support was promised to the list of usual pre-cooked and left requests in slavery Russian to the dead? On November 30, I had the same effect from the first day of public sector unions of the action, and dozens of people I met who have been through the ritual of the strike for the first time, a taste of politics as a lived experience rather than spectacle, far away. As with occupation, noted that a simple truth: that often the best way to strengthen your understanding of what you do is just go out and do as a signal for the future, we look at what is happening in the United States. After being brutally expelled from all the places of the city, occupying a large amount of energy is now devoted to occupy our homes: Does your new rod York called "the liberation of the bank owned homes need to be emptied, and family advocacy threat of execution and expulsion. "In an election year will face a backward against the president who is elected at the head of an intellectually bankrupt Republican Party, is likely to occupy the highest voice.
Inevitably, some of which will be felt here, as social media to bring word of new tactics, language and objectives. Whether through the rhetoric and direct action (or both) at least one focus of renewed challenge is obvious. 2012 will undoubtedly define the actions to forces which dictates our immediate future bleak - at least not all rating agencies, which happily gave triple-A rated financial instruments that brought the world to the brink, but affects now represent the essence of due diligence, so overwhelming austerity prior to approval of sovereign debt (a sample may be strange logic that governs the 21 th century is that, in Spain, to recover trust work was necessary for the Minister of Finance to the former head of Lehman Brothers that country).
A final thought, caused by all the coverage on the role of Meryl Streep in the soon-to-be-released biopic Thatcher, the Iron Lady. In the 1980s, simply chanted "Maggie was" as if that would be enough, and now, almost all the activists that I am well aware that their priority is not to increase the fine policy of Westminster, but to put highlight the failures that are truly systemic.
