Mark Llewlyn-Slade, CEO of Awards Intelligence was announcing certain individuals who have been gonged for this year’s King’s birthday awards of June this year.
Alan Bates has accepted a knighthood, despite us telling him not to.
He said “there is much more work to do” and I agree, but that work is dismantling the system which imprisoned him and I still stand by my article which said that he is becoming part of that system by accepting an “honour”.
Bill Browder, US investment capitalist, has also been Knighted, for being Putin’s number one enemy, under the guise of protecting “human rights” under Obama’s Magnitsky act.
Gordon Brown has also been given the highest honour for “public service” not for his premiership, but for his later private charity work. Does that not tell you something that’s wrong with our system?
A former Prime Minister is honoured for work he did in his retirement. Charity work, while it is somewhat helpful to those it helps, is also helpful in propping up a system whose failings have caused charity work to be needed in the first place.
Also honoured are Mark Cavendish, who can ride a bike really fast and had £700,000 worth of watches stolen. A crime his wife said was “everyone’s worst nightmare”.
While a home invasion would be terrible for anybody, most people don’t even have £700,000 worth of home to be invaded.
And Tracy Emin, who said “I’m part of the establishment now, this doesn’t happen to girls like me, with my upbringing. Hopefully I can inspire others”
Well it did happen to you, you were part of the establishment as soon as you got famous by shitting your bed and wheeling it into a museum.
It will not help society by encouraging others to do this.
Talents and hard graft are stolen by our establishment. Justice and freedom are, every day. By the state, the establishment which gives an award to those who are already rewarded through monetary gain, or have fought against, but not defeated said establishment.
The arts should be encouraged, especially amongst the working class, to provide our truth through art. But art should be easy to perceive by most people. Eric Tucker is much more of a genuine workers’ artist than Emin. Her movement came off the back of Tony Blair’s Cool Britannia, which itself came off the media’s promotion of Blair and Labour as being the saviours of the workers of Britain.
The circle is completed. Those who thought they were outside the establishment are fully accepted into it. But you were there all along. If you thought your ultimate goal was to be given an imperial medal, rather than changing our state, for justice, equality and the expression of our views, the voices of the working class, you were already part of the establishment. Well done.
