A new season of Premiership Football is about to kick off, the new series of X Factor is currently being recorded in readiness for it?s usual 3 month run up until Christmas, Eastenders continues it?s relentless broadcast of BBC propaganda and the benefit cheques arrive in their millions ? unabated, despite the government promising otherwise.


So that?s 90% of the UK population happy with their lot then. Another 5% are happy with their lot because the aforementioned 90% are happy with their lot ? by design ? whether they voted for them or not, another 4% are just happy because their drug habit cons them into thinking that they are, which leaves the final 1% reaching for their keyboards to log on to the internet ? in attempt to inform the 90% that they need to wake up and smell the coffee.


But, will they ever listen. In fact, do they even want to listen. I?m beginning to wonder because history tells us that this has been going for some little while:


?Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions ? everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses?


Juvenal ? 100 A.D.


I don?t know what the answer is but I do know for certain that I?m definitely in the 1% that will continue to shout as loud as I can until an officer of the, soon to be formed, European Union Police Force rolls up with a 4?4, ties a rope to my keyboard and pulls it from my cold, dead hands.


Meanwhile, I?m off to grab the biggest tub of popcorn I can afford so that I can watch the continuing battery of hysteria surrounding the American downgrade from AAA to a Duracell AA ? amidst rumours that the USA will also be downgraded from a Super Power to a Wind Power and Barack Obama from President of the USA to a ?jug eared half Kenyan half wit? with a teleprompter addiction.


Incidentally, nothing on the current economic meltdown (Euro, Dollar or otherwise) from Cameron, Osbourne, Miliband Minor, Balls, et al ? I guess they?re all on holiday ? burying their heads on a sandy beach somewhere.


Oh well, happy days.


X Factor starts soon...

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
