Amendments – A critical analysis of the British NHS and Michael Gove’s National Curriculum faux pas!

self-explanatory

Speculating, as an Afro-Caribbean myself, on how Mary Jane Seacole, were she to make a temporary re-emergence in the 21st Century, would react to and what she would also possibly say about the intentionally racist and scurrilous attacks on her by some so-called "prominent" members of the British political class - infamously Michael Gove: the b*****d, parental paternity unknown, offspring of a biological slapper, Scottish mother who readily and unconcernedly disposed of him the moment she'd evicted him from her tainted body, after which and later at the age of four months he was adopted by a wholly biologically unrelated to him Scottish married couple. Subsequently to become, and still is, a far-right Tory supporter and later an MP for a "safe" Conservative, parliamentary constituent seat - or more apt and commonly known as a rotten borough cesspit - that Michael Gove still represents. 

 

And the avid social climber that he is - and realistically one would need to be such were they to similarly find themselves through discovery as in characteristically name changed Michael Gove's  invidious and considerably tainted, unknown biological origins situation - and in what is still quite clearly, a significantly imperialist and colonialist mind-set Britain among his tawdry sort, b*****d Michael - both literally and metaphorically so - became a UK regime minister first under the tutelage of  David Cameron and after his departure Theresa May. But in addition to being an utterly obsessive and self-serving prat Michael Gove is also a hard core and sycophantic admirer and stalwart toady of the antipodean and obnoxious arch-Zionist capitalist, Rupert Murdoch.

 

This, therefore, is what, as I speculated earlier, would be the relaxed but incisive riposte of Mary Jane Seacole: the Jamaican born and nurtured, Afro-Caribbean British citizen; meritorious Crimean War Heroine, justifiably and worthy recipient of the British Order of Merit (OM) award, and the undoubted inventor and shrew initiator of what would inevitably become, what the world at large subsequently and informatively  came to know, fully appreciate and, accordingly, now universally distinguishes and exclusively recognizes as the incontestable precepts of modern day nursing, attendant with its fundamental and indivisible, caring principles. And from a knowledgeable and truly historical perspective - other than the skewed, sick and fraudulent one of Florence Nightingale herself and her band of latter day and calculatingly conspiratorial aficionados - the distinct usurpation and barefaced attempt at stealing the authentic ownership and rightful legacy of Mary Jane Seacole..

 

So as an Afro-Caribbean person Mary Jane Seacole  in direct reply would doubtlessly, stoically shrug her shoulders in expected realization  of the abject disbelief and contumacious posturing of her racist detractors, then quite instinctively draw in a deep breath through her closed teeth and partially opened mouth in what we Afro-Caribbeans derisively and in put down fashion refer to as a "stupes", while at the time of delivering this apt response seeing no specific need to either entertain or actually make a caustic verbal rejoinder; smile broadly and effusively in that characteristic Afro-Caribbean fashion of ours and laughingly reply: "What else is there to naturally expect from a phalanx of delusional white supremacist elements of the supposed master race, who conceitedly convince themselves that they know it all, and just as idiotically publicly state and insist that without them or the now departed past members of their kind nothing of value was ever previously known, discovered or invented.

 

Adding, would Mary Jane Seacole, convincingly and with a clever mixture of ruefulness and spirited optimism: "Every conscionable move that is conceived and embarked upon starts with a small step and a bigger purpose."
