If we all hate capitalism why is it that world wide we sign up to it? When I say all I mean it in the widest sense.
I feel that we are here going on about governement and the banks but come the election next year I have a real instinct that it will either be a hung parliament or even a conservative marginal win.
In my 20's I was really into politics and just believed that every person has the right to a life which allowed them to work, be educated, have good health and well being. I still believe that but I do not believe that capitalism gives you the values and standards that allow this to be a reality.
We have created a world where welfare is 'normal', poverty, if not acceptable, is still an international issue, war is and life is not valued.
The MP's are puppets of the manderins of Whitehall and their process driven short term strategies that keep them employed. I dont have any beef with MP's - someone has to represent the country but I do have a problem with all the quangos and non elected bodies that rule invisibly behind the scenes.
Banks well we choose to use the system of banking we have and as a society we dont really get off our backsides very often and stampede down to London or to a local meeting to shout our views. Maybe we should
Oh and come the revolution - I gave up that idea when I found the value of hair tonges
As for expenses MP's are the tip of the iceberg in terms of public money being wasted on expenses ......
