A letter a day to number 10. No 1,465

Dear Mr Cameron,
In the years since WWII, there is one beacon that I can see standing out in which I cannot just see but experience the greater personal and public good, something that exists for everyone in this country in an everyday real and tangible way.
It’s something that you Tories can’t hold a match to and you modern day city puppets are mere juveniles overshadowed by giants that you despise.
In all the long history of these islands I do not think anything greater has ever been achieved for the common good than the post war consensus. In essence it lasted 34 years, from 1945 until 1979 (with the election of Margaret Thatcher), but you Tories were always its enemy, just as you have always been the enemy of ordinary people.
The founding of the welfare state, the NHS and a massive programme of house building at a time when we were essentially broke, should have been celebrated annually, perhaps as a public holiday, lest we forgot that phenomenal achievement and found it written out of history as you are seeking to do today as you oversee its destruction.
As this accursed referendum, which sickens me more each day, lumbers on, ordinary people, according to their lights, want something good out of it. Even the most rabid, xenophobic, racist, bigots want, in essence, something good for them. Yet I do not think anything more divisive has occurred in living memory, overseen and manipulated by those who care nothing for the common good, you Tories.
Rupert Murdoch and his shit rag Sun has announced his will, a billionaire media whore who lives in America and yet enjoys the ear of the UK government, wants Britain out of the EU. I am sure he does, but for reasons that will best serve himself, caring nothing for his readers other than the power he wields over them. Nothing says, in or out, more than vested interests, money, corporations, power, greed, the aristocracy of wealth in which ordinary people are but bit players expected to vote for some crumbs of meaningful worth and value. We are a nation divided and for what? So that we can watch the spectacle of fools parade themselves selling opiates to the masses? People begging for the one that offers the greatest pain relief and hating their neighbour just in case they get the better one or force everyone to have the worst one.
I was thinking today that the thing that would influence me the most would be knowing how many more people must die before Britain, in or out, finds sanity again and is rid of the most evil government in our history. The most attractive vote I can think of is whatever meant I would never have to hear or read the words Tory or Conservative again, because nothing good is ever going to come from a Tory unless it’s as history. If we vote remain for the protections that Europe offers the lives of ordinary people, let us never forget that does not compare with the phenomenal positive good of our post war achievements that, in or out of Europe, you are stealing from us.
