Borrowed fron Neil Kinnock - a warning.

If Republicans win both Chambers of Congress tomorrow, I warn you.

I warn you that you will have pain – when cuts will hit local ERs and all Health Insurance regulations are wiped away

I warn you your food will make you sick -you will be unable to trust the water your drink or the food that you eat.

I warn you that you will have ignorance –when talents are untended and wits are wasted, when learning is a privilege and not a right.

I warn you that you will have poverty –when Social Security is raised to pay for tax cuts for the very wealthiest

I warn you that you must not expect work–when many cannot spend, more will not be able to earn. When they don’t earn, they don’t spend. When they don’t spend, work dies.

I warn you to expect a war on science and scientists as Republicans battle to prove who is more ignorant than though

I warn you not to go into the streets alone after dark or into the streets in large crowds of protest in the light.

I warn you that you will be quiet–when the curfew of fear and the gibbet of unemployment make you obedient.

I warn you not to be different -being different makes you suspect.


If Republicans win on Tuesday–

- I warn you not to be gay

- I warn you not to be Muslim

- I warn you not to be from any minority

- I warn you not to be ordinary

- I warn you not to be young

- I warn you not to fall ill

- I warn you not to get old.

Where is the Kinnock original posted, or can you repost it in the thread? Thanks.

If Margaret Thatcher is re-elected as prime minister on Thursday, I warn you.

I warn you that you will have pain–when healing and relief depend upon payment.

I warn you that you will have ignorance–when talents are untended and wits are wasted, when learning is a privilege and not a right.

I warn you that you will have poverty–when pensions slip and benefits are whittled away by a government that won’t pay in an economy that can’t pay.

I warn you that you will be cold–when fuel charges are used as a tax system that the rich don’t notice and the poor can’t afford.

I warn you that you must not expect work–when many cannot spend, more will not be able to earn. When they don’t earn, they don’t spend. When they don’t spend, work dies.

I warn you not to go into the streets alone after dark or into the streets in large crowds of protest in the light.

I warn you that you will be quiet–when the curfew of fear and the gibbet of unemployment make you obedient.

I warn you that you will have defence of a sort–with a risk and at a price that passes all understanding.

I warn you that you will be home-bound–when fares and transport bills kill leisure and lock you up.

I warn you that you will borrow less–when credit, loans, mortgages and easy payments are refused to people on your melting income.

If Margaret Thatcher wins on Thursday–

- I warn you not to be ordinary

- I warn you not to be young

- I warn you not to fall ill

- I warn you not to get old.
