Back, but Unsettled!

Well I'm back in the Capital of Wales and am feeling rather unsettled. They say the grass is always greener but I tried that gig once and got my arse bitten in the process. Having been to Liverpool and Darlington, it has clarified in my mind what course I would like to follow and that is to be a Community Arts Facilitator specialising in Theatre, Drama and Creative Writing. There's a lot of these wannabe luvvies in Wales and age is not on my side which if you have been reading my blog will know!
I walked through Bessemer Rd Market this morning, real people, 'Y Werin Datws' as opposed to those who frequent Riverside Organic Market on the Fitzhamon Embankment! Two markets, two miles away from eachother, but a world away!  It got me to thinking about class and whether 'The Lower Middle Class' need to be championed. These Titles are ridiculous aren't they!

Working Class: Poor
Middle Class: Wealthy
Upper Class: Rich

If you're poor you are less likely to have access to quality education, perhaps then you are more likely to be less enlightened and evolved as an adult. But if the types who frequent Riverside Market are anything to go by then perhaps quality education is not such a blessing after all. In the Bakers in Grungetown, not the one that was held up by gunpoint,  the gentleman serving behind the counter was bemoaning the fact that customers didn't say thank you! Just pointed and grunted at what they wanted and paid and went.

Perhaps this is something that the universal human condition shares whatever social strata you belong to! Arrogance, Rudeness, Lack of Politeness, Manners! Wossat then?

I left Bessemer Rd and walked to the British Version of Walmart in Leckwith. I don't like supermarkets at the best of times and who did I walk in behind but none other than Rhodri Morgan, Former Fuhrer of the National Assembly of Wales. He was humming to himself.  He only got the National Assembly Gig because Ron Davies had his moment of Madness. Along with Alun Michael, these were the leviathans of the Welsh Labour Party at one time. I didn't like any of them. When they lose power they seem to have more humility about them! In Liverpool, I remembered Neil Kinnock, the Welsh windbag's speech laying into the Militant Tendency.

Was it Karma when he did his 'All Right Speech' in Sheffield which led to a lot of people left in the room turning the light off.

I'm meandering a bit here but it was refreshing to hear of MP's this week being open and honest about their Mental Health Conditions.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is that it will require a critical mass of people to stop working for money. To discredit the 'Capitalist System' which is now well past it's sell by date it will need people to refuse the conditioning. Bartering, working together instead of competing against eachother. In Liverpool I was in discussion about the London Weighting Allowance and the Cost of Living in the Capital. Why should it be so high? It has been created artificially high. Why are there rich ghettoes in London like Chelsea and Knightsbridge and Kensington. If people in poorer areas see how the rich live on their doorstep they are going to start questioning their own lives.

 All we are saying is

 "Would you mind being less ostentatious about your wealth please" 

We all know that if Camoron and the Con Dems carry on like this then the only result that can possibly happen is a Labour Victory!
Then the Farce Continues!
