It is time for my class to declare war

Gideon Osborne has announced the latest front in the governments class war. As far as I am concerned, the time for any kind of negotiation is over. It is time for action. I do not mean selling fucking newspapers, or hoping for another Labour government. It is time that we declared war on the government.

It is official! Gideon Osborne is a cunt. The entire millionaire’s row that sits on the front bench are a set of cunts. The bastards are hell bent on destroying working people. Every day I read the papers or turn on the news, to see them dismantling legislation, or freezing pay, or slashing pensions, or privatising the NHS. There latest plans announced today are to do away with national pay agreements in the public sector.

From 2013, public sector workers who live in poorer areas will be paid 10% than other areas of the country. Osborne claims they have less living expenses than people in more affluent areas, therefore they should be paid less.

People fought hard for pay equality, and national pay agreements, and now they will be destroyed within sixteen months. This will also greatly reduce what little influence trade unions have as they will now negotiate locally rather than nationally. Employers must be rubbing their genitals in anticipation. Giving employers the ability to set their own pay scales will see wages decimated.

Gail Cartmell (Unite) has said that “Employing public servants on the lowest possible pay is part of the Tory blueprint for privatisation”. Exactly! Wages will be driven down, and a red carpet laid out for private companies to come in and take over.

Supposedly there is legislation around equality of pay for the same jobs, so I am not sure how they will work around that. Sorry, I am absolutely clear how they will do it. They will change the legislation, just as they are on employment rights, and on health and safety.

This should mean absolute fucking war! Forget one day strikes every few months. Rather than giving the government a metaphorical bloody nose, we need to be breaking limbs.

They are laughing at us, goading us. It is class war, plain and simple. This government is rapidly cementing its position in working class history and folklore just as Thatcher did. Fights like this come along once in a generation, and it is about time that my class won one!

Come on Barber, Mclusky, et al, get your fucking fingers out of your cosseted backsides. The time for any kind of negotiating with these cunts has gone. We need to send a message of no compromise, no discussion, and no negotiation. Forget marches from A to B, the same bullshit speeches from the same washed out, faceless fucking bureaucrats. We want and demand action now.

What infuriates me almost as much as these cunts is the dinosaur fucking left, waiting and hoping for Labour to get back into power. They will win the next election, however they will reverse nothing that these shit houses have implemented. They are one and the fucking same. Keep selling your shit fucking papers and jerking off.

I for one do not want to continue being skull fucked by the ruling elite, regardless of what colour ties they wear.

This is war!

I like the way that you are doing regular blogs on current UK issues, but i don't know who you are writing them for? What's your anticipated readership?

Because when i worked, lots of people in my workplace would have been interested in this issue. However, I think that the way you express yourself in this article is counterproductive.

I'm a worker, I read this blog, I like it. Often it sums up how I feel.
We don't need to be polite and our fury need not be articulate all the time. We should be fucking livid at the bosses and politicians stamping on our heads every day.

Agreed we need more than simply righteous anger, but every word WorkingClassSelfOrganisation writes is coming from the right place. Plus I'm sick of seeing fucking 'balance' in the mainstream press.

Fatbongo, What is my anticipated readership? If I am being honest I would say I dot know, other than, whoever wants to read it.

Before coming to Libcom, when the blog was hosted on its own page, I did receive many comments of a similar nature to yours. 'counter-productive', 'will repel people' etc etc. However, month after month, the readership increased by large amounts. I understand that the tone may not always be to some people's liking. My answer is always, ' do not read it then'.

Also, where has been polite ever got us? I have done my time selling Socialist Workers, and singing 'we shall overcome', and I will not be doing it again.

Funnily enough I don't think of selling the socialist worker as being polite.

Anyways, fair enough. I didn't realise that you wrote everything yourself. I had got it into my head that this was a libcom thing trying to attract more people to the site. I also thought that your articles were written by several people because previous articles seemed to me to be in a different writing style (plus less fucking, cunting etc)

I don't know why i'm still going on about this. I love swearing myself.

Yes of course it is an attempt from Libcom to attract more people to the site, but as I said, in its previous form, the blog was attracting a lot of readers, and was increasing month after month. So someone must read and like it!

Libcom asked me to blog here, so I did. This was despite the blog having lots of swearing. To be fair, I am not the only blogger who swears on here. Is there really a difference between a post that contains the word 'cunt' once, or if it has it five times?

Yes, all the articles on this blog are written by me. I cant answer re a differing writing style, other than different stories, different moods etc. Yes, there sometimes is less cunting and fucking, sometimes I feel they are more appropriate than others.

If the tone of my blog is a problem, then I am sure there will be complaints, and I will be the first to here about it.

I think that such use of word is definitely needed. There's this quite disconcerting tendency to be "PC", for the reason that working class isn't prepared yet to encounter with the full rhetoric of class war militancy. However, I think the opposite is true. The square one on the "revolutionary path" :) is always frustration, and anger. I think people who are already angry of the govt. would not shy away just because of the choice of your words: indeed they would probably see more similarities of their own feelings and those who already advocating full blown class war.

As a side note, the class war was always full on but our active participation has rather poor record in comparison to the bosses.

yeah i don't think anyone is saying we need to swear all the time. But if the left do not start using fighting talk, the right will.

I liked this too. The use of swearing really worked given that the theme was specifically about leaving behind the kind of dull, hand-wringing politeness that's tended to characterise the left's response. Plus it made me smile. Would like to read more about how the war should be fought, and what kinds of direct action would break some (metaphorical) limbs!
