Steve Monaghan musings

  Does anyone care how much is charged? What does it cost to put on a race? £5pp or £20pp or £100pp I know it depends but..... Running Club - non- profit making? Events company - business profit making ✓ Involve a charity but where do donations come from? company? club? runners? Eg. The London Marathon has been a company since its inception. It has always sold places to charities, like they are a business, and they only make money for charity after the cost of entry. In 1998 that was £250! The privatisation of The Public Sector, a Right wing, Neo- liberal idea has filtered into every aspect of our lives as shown by my explanation of run race pricing. The total income of all charities in the UK does not even touch the income of one major company. If 'The Tories'/Rich are to be defeated/pushed back then it will a seismic shift in the minds of people worldwide because the idea that something can be free and not cost money, including profit, has reached 'natural' status. Pe...

 Where to begin. How many petitions? How many inquiries? How many people vote? I know belief. If you believe they work then they work. I believe The Rich rule our lives not politicians. I believe The Rich do not play by Politicians rules. I believe ONLY the people who believe this can stop them. Or we let them keep winning because we are democratic fair reasonable nice kind good people Therefore there will be more Saviles Epsteins Prince Andrews Grenfells Sub postmasters Hillsboroughs You do not have to agree with me or stand with me or talk to me you can do your own thing just like they do/did. The future is bright if you don't take them on, because you comply. You can  write about it sing about it dance about it read about it watch it hear about it and do nothing about it. YOU CAN IGNORE IT!! But it still happening.  Bored yet, fed up yet, got mental health issues yet? I know it's part of being human. Now where was I, oh yeah. So whilst your reading this The Rich, maybe...

 'American Crows are fairly common and conspicuous throughout most of the lower 48 states outside the southwestern deserts.' As I watch the Crooked Crows I think is the rise of Americana, Southern American, Redneck , Country, Rock music just another right-wing cultural message to the masses. Possibly even deliberate and orchestrated. This celebration of the USA - THE REAL HUMAN OPPRESSOR OF THE HUMAN POPULATION ON EARTH? (not Russia or the other states they blame) Is it inevitable that humans embrace dominant forces on our planet - NO!!! RESIST!! If Cultural entities are to reform people's thinking in a democracy towards a more liberal agenda then one state's output cannot be embraced regardless of which one? Diversity has to include different things beyond individuals to have an effect. Will Starmer be Yet Another USA Flag waving Prime Minister - absolutely - he has no choice they are The Man! So the easy option to maintain power. Imagine Starmer actually backing Pales...

 From Acorns grow Oak trees. In a system designed to pitch us against them some grow to be Oaks. They are strong, have many branches, twigs and leaves. You can climb the tree and reach the top. You can climb the tree and cut its branches. If you uproot the tree, and many have for different reasons, there will be another. But if you involve a value eg. money then trees become superfluous. Oaks still exist but their value is in money not trees themselves. Human survival requires, according to science, trees to process carbon dioxide. In the pursuit of money trees are just a means to an end - money and a nuisance. Starmer should use existing legislation to protect trees. Starmer should encourage eco-employment including the removal of trees. Meanwhile, big business removes the biggest rainforest in the world The Amazon. How can value be stopped and trees (survival) be saved? Indigenous tribes, in The Amazon, are fighting developers (logging companies) with little success using the sys...
