Why Bullying Civil Servants Has Been a Key Policy of the Tories! (22.4.2023)
By Adrian Chan-Wyles PhD
The Labour Party that attained to power in the UK in 1945 was the product of millions of British working men in military uniform – who had fought, died and been wounded – on the way to the UK securing victory against Nazi Germany (and their allies). These men wanted a class-wide reward for their class-wide effort of sacrifice – a reward that had been denied the British working-class in 1919 after their victory during WWI (indeed, the British government – influenced as it was by the anti-Socialist Churchill – had joined the US in sending troops into Revolutionary Russia in an attempt to ‘crush’ Lenin). Furthermore, many of the (middle-class) Civil Servants who worked as unelected government workers had served as Officers during WWII – with many giving their lives for our freedom. This meant that a ‘new’ generation of Civil Servants entered British government employment after WWII – all with new ideas and all being relatively inexperienced.
Since the (Secular) British Republic of 1649-1960 – the Civil Service has formed a professional (unelected) cadre, whose function is to support (and sustain) the Bourgeois Establishment. The British Bourgeoisie emerged out of the rich peasants who served the feudal Lords by knowing where (and ‘when’) to secure often unusual goods and services. This accumulated wealth eventually overspilled into political power and enable the Bourgeoisie to be voted into Parliament (and have direct access to the Monarch) - and to eventually raise its own New Model Army to take on the forces of the feudal Lords (the ‘Aristocracy’) when political models started to diverge to the point of ‘Civil War’! As Mao Zedong once remarked - ‘Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun!’ This is exactly how Oliver Cromwell became ‘Lord Protector’ of the British Republic.
When the UK split into two competing political camps – the King and the Aristocracy took on the Bourgeois Parliament and its ‘Volunteer’ Armies! Whereas the Royalist Armies were Commanded by the feudal Lords and manned by indentured labourers, tenants and ordinary recruits in support of the King retaining an absolute power – Parliament had to rely on tens of thousands of impoverished peasants and labourers ‘choosing’ to risk their lives in what was an extraordinary ‘Revolutionary’ War for the time! Parliament induced the British masses to rise-up against the King in return for certain inalienable rights that were designed to empower and lift them up throughout society! Today, this would be termed a ‘Socialist’ Revolution as it stopped at nothing less than the Bourgeoisie usurping the power of the Aristocracy in the name of the peasants and workers! If this war was successful, when it was over the moral bill had to be paid – and Oliver Cromwell certainly decided to do this with improved housing, healthcare, education and employment rights!
Cromwell possessed a ‘Socialist’ attitude which empowered the British ‘working-class' and which pursued progressive political policies. When his son – Richard Cromwell – was overthrown in 1659, the Bourgeoise assumed a collective power through the so-called ‘Council of State’. When the British Republic was abolished in 1660 – the Bourgeoisie that emerged entered into a new understanding with the recently usurped Aristocracy – with all policies designed to oppress the workers and empower the Bourgeoisie and the Aristocracy! This new agreement included the return of the British Monarchy – but only as a ‘Constitutional’ figurehead (existing on paper only). Meanwhile, virtually no working-class person was allowed to possess the vote, and the nascent Civil Service was tasked with ‘keeping things exactly the same’ for all time!
Obviously, the special conditions surrounding world politics at the end of WWII changed circumstances considerably and allowed a radical Labour Party (enthused with many members who respected the Soviet Victory) to a) win an election, and b) assume political power. The Civil Service worked with the Labour Party and achieved a tremendous left-leaning transformation of the British State – one that at last rewarded the working-class for its sacrifices during WWI and WWII! This new reproachment between the classes did not last long, however, with Churchill leading the charge against the ‘evils of Socialism’! From 1951 onwards, various Tory administrations pursued policies designed to undo all these Socialist changes and return the UK to Victorian standards of inequality and widespread poverty! This process of counter-Revolution has been assisted by numerous LibDems, Tory and even Labour administrations – all in the service of a post-1945 US foreign policy that is hell-bent on crushing the working-class and empowering the Bourgeoisie to ridiculous and unneeded levels of authoritarianism! US power is directly administered throughout Western Europe via the ‘European Union’ (EU) - and throughout Eastern Europe by the many (Roman Catholic) Neo-Nazi States!
Since 2010, these new waves of right-wing and far-right Tory administrations have initiated highly destructive and illegal domestic policies! In 2016 the United Nations (UN) found the UK ‘Guilty’ of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ for the murder of around 120,000 people with disabilities between 2010-2016 through the ‘sudden’ and ‘illegal’ withdrawal of Benefit Payments, Social Services and Healthcare! The UK (Tory) government REFUSED to accept this UN ruling – claiming the two-year research carried out by the UN between 2014-2016 was ‘flawed’ (without providing any evidence for this allegation. As these destructive Tory policies have continued unabated – the death toll has risen year by year! The British (Bourgeois) media – whilst supporting Neo-Nazi Ukraine – has REFUSED to expose what the Tory governments have done! Instead, such papers collude to disinform that this concrete reality is a ‘left-wing’ lie! Until 2010 the British Civil Service existed to prevent elected governments moving too much to the left or to the right whilst in power. The Tories – since 2010 – have had to apply ‘bullying’ tactics to ‘force’ the Civil Servants to enact policies they know to be ‘extreme’, ‘illegal’ and ‘destructive’! Without this collusion between the Tories and the Civil Servants – a succession of UK Conservative (and LibDems) administrations would not have been able to have ‘murdered’ over 120,000 people with disabilities – and in so doing grant the UK the dubious distinction of being the only European country (other than Nazi Germany) to be found GUITLY of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’!
