Piccadilly

I have walked down Piccadilly twice today and have been amazed by the success of the clear up work. Fortnum and Mason in particular have removed all external signs of the damage perpetrated on their premises. There is till some evidence of the violence though and on a temporary bus sign towards the Circus end of the road there were two signs - one was written and said "Fuck Cuts" and the other was a sticker which said "Boycott Israeli Goods". We all know that the anarchist title given by the media to the rioters is a euphemism for the workers socialist party so the curious juxtaposition of the two signs is not so strange as all that. The socialist workers party as a Labour party wannabe annex is nothing other than the Nazi party with a different name. The police of course were compromised by being given the task of overseeing the march as they are public servants with an axe to grind and could not possibly be impartial and do a proper job. Nor did they. Those who work in the private sector simply cannot understand the audacity of the trades unions in running a march against the so-called cuts solely for members of the public sector. If we ran India with 600 civil servants why do we need to run a much smaller country with 5 million of them with well paid jobs, job security, early retirement and better pensions than the rest of us. Are they worth it? Definitely not so why the march? Have they no conscience? They already have their hands deep in our pockets and what makes them think we have any sympathy for their demands to go deeper. Our problems could be solved by culling a good many of them and we would not miss them at all. I suspect hat the employees of the private sector are getting to get very angry with the feather bedded mostly useless public sector.
