Britain is Burning: We’re Not Citizens, We’re Serfs – and it’s Time to Revolt

Let’s cut the crap. Britain is not a functioning democracy. It’s a feudal theme park run for the benefit of parasitic elites, and we, the people, are not citizens – we’re serfs. We’re trapped in a grotesque pantomime of power, where the tinsel of parliamentary democracy barely conceals a rotten core of corruption, cronyism, and cruelty. This isn’t just a crisis; it’s a deliberate, calculated dismantling of everything that resembles a decent society, and it’s happening right in front of our eyes.

We’re told we’re citizens, with rights and agency. Bollocks. What rights do you have when your wages haven’t kept pace with inflation for decades, when you’re one missed pay cheque away from destitution, when the very concept of a secure job has been replaced by the soul-crushing precarity of the gig economy? What agency do you have when your government is in the pocket of corporate lobbyists, when policy is dictated by think tanks funded by oligarchs, when the revolving door between Westminster and the City spins so fast it’s a blur?

And let’s not forget the charade of the constitutional monarchy. We’re subjects, not citizens, bowing and scraping to an institution that embodies inherited privilege and reinforces a toxic culture of deference. The Crown, that archaic symbol of power, is not some harmless bit of pageantry. It’s the velvet glove on the iron fist of the establishment, a constant reminder that power in this country flows from the top down, from the unelected and unaccountable to the disempowered and disenfranchised. The House of Lords, stuffed with cronies and hereditary peers, is an insult to the very idea of democracy.

Then there’s the neoliberal nightmare that has hollowed out our society. Thatcher’s children, now fully grown and in charge, have systematically dismantled the social contract. They’ve privatised our essential services, flogged off our national assets to their mates at bargain-basement prices, and shredded the safety net that once protected the most vulnerable. The result? A country where food banks are more common than libraries, where homelessness is rife, and where the sick and disabled are demonised and punished for the crime of needing help. This is not a bug of the system; it is the system.

And who benefits from this rigged game? The same old faces. The super-rich, the tax-dodging corporations, the political class that serves them. They’ve rigged the economy in their favour, siphoning off wealth from the many to the few, while the rest of us are left to fight over the scraps. They’ve turned our democracy into a marketplace, where policy is bought and sold like any other commodity. The Partygate scandal, the PPE procurement fiasco, the “cash for honours” disgrace – these are not isolated incidents. They’re the inevitable consequence of a system built on greed, corruption, and a complete disregard for the public good.

Meanwhile, the most vulnerable among us – the poor, the sick, the disabled – are not just ignored; they’re actively vilified. The right-wing press, that mouthpiece of the powerful, spews out a constant stream of bile, demonising anyone who dares to rely on the state for support. They’re “scroungers,” “burdens,” “undeserving.” This isn’t just rhetoric; it’s a deliberate strategy to divide and rule, to turn us against each other so we don’t unite against the real enemy: the system that keeps us down.

We’re not just workers; we’re wage slaves, trapped in a system designed to extract every last drop of our labour for the minimum possible return. And if we step out of line, if we dare to demand better, we’re branded as victims, pathologised, and silenced. The system doesn’t just exploit us; it seeks to break us, to crush our spirit, to make us accept our lot as inevitable.

But we will not be broken. We will not be silenced. We are not serfs, we are not slaves, and we are not victims. We are the many, and they are the few. It’s time to wake up to the reality of our situation. This isn’t about tinkering around the edges of a broken system; it’s about ripping it out by its roots and building something new, something better.

We need a revolution, and we need it now. Not a polite, gradual shift, but a fundamental transformation of our society. We need a written constitution that enshrines our rights and freedoms in law, not in the whims of politicians or the dusty traditions of a bygone era. We need to abolish the House of Lords and create a truly democratic upper chamber. We need to kick the corporate lobbyists out of Westminster and reclaim our democracy for the people.

We need to end the neoliberal experiment once and for all. We need to tax the rich and the corporations to fund a massive programme of public investment in our NHS, our schools, our social care system. We need a Green New Deal that creates millions of well-paid, secure jobs while tackling the climate crisis. We need to empower workers, strengthen unions, and ensure that everyone has access to a decent standard of living.

This is not a utopian dream; it’s a necessity. We can no longer afford to tolerate a system that is so blatantly rigged against us. We need to organise, mobilise, and fight for our future. We need to build a mass movement that is powerful enough to challenge the entrenched interests that control our country.

So, join us. Join the fight for a better Britain. A Britain where we are all truly citizens, not subjects. Where we are all valued, not exploited. Where we all have a voice, not just the privileged few. The time for polite requests is over. The time for radical change is now. Let’s tear down this rotten system and build something worthy of our aspirations. Let’s take back what is rightfully ours. Let’s make Britain a beacon of hope, not a cautionary tale.

The revolution starts now. Are you in?
