The British are depressives and The System instills a sense of impotence which is why anti-depressants are a GP's primary offering. Look at the distribution of anti-depressant prescriptions - North West, North East....it is mass-medication to hide despair.<br /><br />Look at tests on laboratory animals; some resist Stress and fight, but others simply die prematurely<br /><br />There are lots of people resigned to fate and simply dying before their time.....walk around Northern cities and see broken people.SAA@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-7904384050912152192012-01-20T04:52:40.591-08:002012-01-20T04:52:40.591-08:00I was terribly ill, recently.

Ignorance of economics; ignorance of our history; ignorance of our Constitution and how it has been subverted and ignorance about the true behaviour of our political class - elected and appointed to The Lords.<br /><br />Leaving aside our woeful state education system, the main culprit for all this ignorance is, of course, the BBC. For anyone who isn't particularly interested in 'the news' and 'current affairs' the BBC is their main source of information when they catch the 6 o'clock or 10 o'clock output (one can hardly call it news). They are fed a diet of pap. Panorama is a shadow of its former self.<br /><br />The MSM is little better - althought the DT did expose the expenses scandal and (amongst the Cameron sycophancy) permits a few critical articles to appear. <br /><br />The sad fact is, that it is only in the blogs where the true facts are to be found and that means (a) having an interest in the first place and (b) putting in the time and effort to track them down. <br /><br />Perhaps, if Scotland leaves the Union, England will find enough 'good men and true' to challenge the status quo because we won't be laden down with the unreconstructed socialists from the north of Britain ... maybe that is one of the things Cameron really fears. A resurgent England could challenge on our enforced membership of the EU; challenge on the current failed construct of Parliament and challenge the politicians who have failed us for so long.<br /><br />Keep up the good work WfW.DeeDee99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06753473473887381622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-74596389881168279622012-01-20T01:41:03.664-08:002012-01-20T01:41:03.664-08:00Reading your blog helps satisfy my need to know th...Reading your blog helps satisfy my need to know that there are other people who feel as frustrated as I do. It meets a need to belong. However, I am increasingly of the opinion that we need to prepare for the time that people do get angry. We need to be putting out a message of how society should be and could be come the revolution to open the eyes of those that haven't thought about it. To show them how their life could be better than it is. Having a clear picture of how the future could be would also help in influencing the post-revolution direction of the country. This has been said by Richard North on many occasions. The problem I have is that we don't seem to be getting past stating that direct democracy and referism would be nice. <br />How do we get from here to there? The problem is, I suspect, that we all feel we could add something to the movement but as foot soldiers not officers. Where are we going to find a leader?Paul Coombeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09143484729379464693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-69571273386760240282012-01-20T01:08:22.840-08:002012-01-20T01:08:22.840-08:00I am warming to Zac Goldsmith, he at least seems t...I am warming to Zac Goldsmith, he at least seems to have principles. The fact that this country is degenerate and run by carpet-baggers is self-evident. I am firmly of the opinion this system will never permit change through the ballot-box simply because the Oligarchs count the votes.TomTomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-37067392969600293312012-01-19T15:16:11.632-08:002012-01-19T15:16:11.632-08:00I do at least sympathise with those who deliberate...I do at least sympathise with those who deliberately blank politics.
