Truth be known I think we have now become a fractured cynical society bled dry of belief in a system of governance that has engineered, manipulated and down right lied its way to power for so many years.
The constant in battle with a media, that is so rabid for flesh that no sane person would coutenance running for office, has left us without candidates or leadership on tap other than self serving blow hards. And yet we still hanker for a Masiyah who would lead us to the promised land. How often that has led to Stalin or Moa and now Corbyn who would have no compunction in enslaving us all for the better good of the proletariat. Him and his henchmen of the far left are no better than the worse of the far right. Indeed, I caution you this way.
Communism so far has cost the earth around 210 million souls in purge, desease, famine, war and failed five year plans. The far right ironically less around 80. So, be careful for what you wish. I like the centre ground me. Its always the centre ground who have to pick up the tab for the right and left and put them back in their respective boxes. Please note; history and two world wars prove it. Ill leave you with this thought. Stalin (still revered in russian and no one knows why) said of the 40 million soviets killed in the second world war against the far right this: "One person dying is a tragedy, but 40 million is a statistic". He then had his own daughter locked up. Moa in china killed an estimated 60 million of his own people 4 million of whom died in revolution to ensure the revolution was on track!. Its what happens when there is nothing bigger than the Party and the arsehole in charge of it.
So, no thanks Ill keep to the centre groung even thought the populace who once upon a time took public service not so much of a job to be renumerated but a vocation looked up to by the public they served and we get half way to the deep seated problem of a fractured society that doesnt believe in anything anymore.
- Why should it? The government only believe in power for itself.
- Media
and single party pressure groups stampeding over the rights of the
majority and hanging every utterence of protest on the hanging tree of
none PC. Thus the silent majority become repressed and bingo
Brexit/Trump.
- No faith in our System after years of trying to pull it down
and yet having no real idea of what to replace it with. led to where we
are today with it in tatters. Ironic of course that those in the 60s and
70s who did their level best to dismantle the state are now in the
Lords.
- THE USA nuff said
- The death of industry and replacement by service industry and the creation the University as a pathway to massive debt and a career in the fast food industry for most graduates. Plus an erosion of our education standards to the point that an old fashioned O'level would throw most A level students into a panic.
I could go on, but you get my point. Simply have no truck with Snake charmers of the left or right and pray with a population in this very small island now approaching 66 million that we sort out this multi cultural experiment soon and Rochdale never happens again.
Have a nice weekend dear readers.
Oh and happy 150th birthday Canada. Old and good friend through thick and thin. I was driving passed my church yard yesterday and spared a thought for the 37 commonwealth airmen buried in there from WW2. God bless and Rest in Peace.
