The post you are reporting:
Barry, you consistent, I'll give you that, but the line between consistent and a Tourette-like mono-babble is very fine indeed.
That the push, over the last thirty years or so, from manufacturing into servicing has suited you down to the ground is plain, after all it is an ill-wind that does nor blow somebody some good, and while the main concern is you, and you (and your like) exclusively, your mono-babble is understandable, sad, but understandable.
Unemployment has long been a tool to smooth-out the course of business, businesses with but short term aims especially.
What you say about it has changed little over the centuries, (since the time of Magna Carta, dare I say). The people you admire, the kind of people you wish to be associated closely with, felt hard-done-by even then, even if the land-owners could tax the 'bejesus' from their tenants these same overlords in turn were required to yield payments to the Crown. And their struggle goes on, driven by the likes of you, to be able to arrange the affairs of lesser mortals without the requirement to pay to, without the least notion of fealty to, a greater being - a greater good.
It is truely a wonder that in post-industrial Britain any notion of responsibility for the welfare of ones fellow man gained political-purchase, but it did. I appreciate that this fact galls you and your like even now, but I am not the least impressed.
I know that your craving for total control, until recently, suffered set-back after set-back. In the main because of the utter inconvenience of 'Democracy' and even now when you have the New Labour Party on-side and could have seen your ends pandered to whichever of the big-two partys gained power, but sadly the populace in general and the Electorate in particular refuses to play ball.
It is your setting of your countenance against the least notion of Democracy that condemns you to your paucity of commentary. I may have mentioned this before, but you remind me of the closing scene of Brighton Rock:the scratched record that you can rely upon, without recourse to the actuality.
Of course you will appreciate that this does not paint you into the character of 'Pinky', but rather the love-struck girl, the victim of her own desires and skewed world-view...
