This week Suella #Braverman the #UK home
secretary has seen all the people forced
to live out on the streets in #tents,
so she has decided to fix the problem
by banning their tents.

@pre@boing.world does a five minute
#tarot reading on that and finds the country
was once actually very prosperous and generous,
until a bunch of drunken rapacious crooks took charge
and turned everything to death.

Take heart, that at least may soon change!

### Past - 3 Of Cups, Abundance

The country used to be rich.

We had _opportunity_ and so _growth_

The county's _inventiveness_ and
_organization_ skills led to
_success_ and so _abundance_
and _gratitude_,
a _giving_ mindset of _hope_!

This leads to _education_ and
_development_ and _generosity_,
to improving _community_,
to better _society_,
more _friendship_ and _outreach_.

The country had _laughter_ and
_love_ and _camaraderie_

A real _social_ contract.

### Hidden Influence - 12 Of Pentacles, Knight

And the people of the country!
They were _fortuitous_ and knew it, so they were also _generous_ .

A _determined_ and _enterprising_
people, who knew that those who
had _advantage_ should be
_magnanimous_, _equanimous_
_benevolent_ and _patient_ .

The people are _learned_
_contemplative_ and _educated_ ,
_knightly_ even.

_dutiful_ and _meticulous_ ,
_caring_.

The people would not take away
a homeless man's tent!

So what happened?

### External Influence - 14 Of Wands, King

Ah of course. The _leaders_.

_rich_ _drunken_ _rapacious_
_devourers_, a _ravenous_
_opportunistic_ _sovereign_
government.

Look at the _swagger_ of these
self _assured_ neo-_liberal_
_charismatic_ _villains_.

_unfortunately_ we _empowered_
_cynical_ _pessimist_ _adversaries_.

They think to keep us _motivated_,
so they can rob us more, they need
us in _hardship_ .

To keep us _industrious_
they try to make us scared
and fight each other.

### Present - 13 Of Trumps, Death

And this is what's left when
they have drained the country
of it's abundance and life:
Death.

To hold on to their gains they
need to keep us loaded with
_problems_ and thinking
about _mortality_ and _death_
and _endings_, on the edge
of _breaking_ point always
one step away from the _tomb_.

They need to _ostracise_
and monster some minority of us,
to keep us turning on each other
like rats in a cage.

The tents are just _symbolic_
for Braverman,
she will not have to sleep in one,
or evict someone from one,

they are just a way to keep us angry
fighting and _injured_ and
on the edge of _death_.

But this card means more.
Endings are also beginnings.

We can _awaken_,
become _enlightened_,
bring _change_ and _transformation_ in society.

This can be the death of
their ghoulish manipulations,
their last final desperate attempt
to make us
fight each other.

### Outcome - 2 Of Pentacles, Change

Change can come!

This desperate bunch of drunken
crooks can be kicked out, and we
can have a totally different
set of more mild mannered crooks.

I mean sure, the next lot still
always go on about _money_ and
_balancing_ _prioritisations_
and _investment_ _partnerships_
with _start-up_ _entrepreneurs_.

But they might at least not be so
viciously terribly theatrically
performativity cruel.

Maybe the _opposition_ will
actually do some
_new_ _buildings_ instead of just
blaming defenceless immigrants
or homeless people
while they drunkenly loot the
palace?

Will that make any _difference_ ?
It might at least reduce the
_radicalisation_ and _polarization_
that the current lot
deliberately provoke.

But you know, it's all just _cycles_

### Summary

The country had plenty of wealth,
and a good natured and
generous people,
until these drunken crooks came to
rob the place,
distracting us by making us
fight each other
while they turn the country
to death.

But change is coming.

At least in tone.

Labour won't solve homelessness
but they probably at least
won't blame the homeless.

That's what the cards tell me.
