oops i WAS going to write, where the glorious Sophia QC of famous campaigning chambers, Tooks
called yours truly "Che Guevara" to the cameras, however it seems they GOT hertoo poor thing....
Anyway i seem to have wasted twenty years of my life having random informal conversation with all and sundry, especially many mothers, who say they 'care' about things like a fair society, or even justice..
Yet as soon as one mentions 'transparency' it is as if one is speaking a foreign language - canibalese, and indicates one would want to eat their babies, too... the notion that any ordinary person may ever have anything to do with the 'media' is for other people.... and somehow one is lesser for even thinking how the Fourth estate may just have been developed for a reason - truth to power...
And power.... one wonders if they have the money or ability to go and dose them all via 'chem trails' or Mister Gates' arm-delivered, microchip they all show off being obsessed about (the last 10 years all one hears!) , when maintaining transparency in society is a long hard VERY boring struggle... as they the powerful have centuries experience doing sneaky things to shut up a citizen with a good case...
... until, that is..... something goes wrong in THEIR lives.
when it's too late. They 'get' it then.....
which means i have had twenty years of from aside - listening... slightly Socratic conversationing ... listening to the ordinary people become EXACTLY what power wanted, infantalised....
All i wish to do is somehow create whistful story and art about those twenty years...
Because as sure as ferrets are ferrets to quote what even a dumb white rabbit knew, real 'power' - which is merely corporate interests as it has been several centuries, has been sitting there chuckling for twenty years that nobody carried forward the important foundational test case below....
which is why they still get away with all sorts of shenanigans...
As Emily Barley knows, and thus was on the wireless this morning regarding unnecessarily DEAD BABIES stating https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce8jr2rnze2t
"TRANS....PARENCY!" is the only solution....
And you can bet your bottom dollar that the 'system' - which means every single person wearing a lanyard, from the security guard at the baby bin, to the top consultant and judge, and prison governor if Emily was seen by them to be TOO successful, will say at some stage - usually quietly by the bins out the back " well ...maybe its not a good idea to go on telly talking about that.... i mean maybe...just possible..... someone in authority, may be 'harassed' or offended by your campaign and take a counter-case.....maybe even try to gag you...and their legal fees will be paid for by their work.....yours, and THEIRS, if you lose - round 4 as they can afford to go all the way to The Supremes... by youtoo...goodbye any house, or even future car finance you may need.."
How it actually works, in the real world...
How it actually works, in the real world...
nobody ever listened or did much about anything
A superb subject for art.
Kafka... even Orwellian...
Ask Ai Weiwei... what art is for?!
And all British art seems to ever do is nothing; or even worse, pretend Unmade Beds are even slightly interesting when under the covers of their darkness its TEN times more bloody and brutal
