Good question! Short of a revolution I am puzzled as to know the answer. I will say though that so many people are disgruntled and yet so few want to write to their MP, attend political meetings etc. The nearesr we seem to get is the tv programme 'Question Time' each week and thats to give us bluff answers to really good questions.
I think the UK public has no confidence in the political system nor its foreign policy.
I am not a racist ( I have good friends who are African and West Indian) but what kind of country are we that would let ourselves get in this state with overcrowding of immigrants? Most other countries juts wouldn't have it.
Ah Yes, I remember we are the forerunners in 'human rights'. Look where it is getting us. We seem to be a country that puts visitors first and ourselves second. Its almost humiliatingly embarrassing. We are not a rich country by any means yet we squander what little we do borrow on ways to handle people who want to live in our country. Meanwhile our health service is deteriorating, our schools are deteriorating and you are richer here if you DONT work! ( Average pay)
I believe that eventually Joe Public will take matters into his own hands. I foresee riots and God help us when we host the Olympic Games.....a nightmare!

we give so many handouts to people from all over the world yet this country has the least amount of respect across the globe, i always argue that if i could give my family a better way of life i would go wherever i could to do that but like you say to be british means you are a second class citizen, and the government wonders why our kids are out of control, gun crime is rising, agriculture is being killed off, super bugs are killing us! the answer is because no one is putting us first! why do british people come last on a list of priorities held by our own government! the best place to farm these days is in Poland, but there are no polish farmers left in Poland, english farmers are buying up all the land desperately trying to cling on to the only life they know!
like you, i am not a racist, but it is out of control, Polish men are being terrorised in this 'friendly' country because bosses all over are employing them because they can get away with a cheap wage, which does not bode well with the skilled english workers!
i could rant all day about this..but i'll stop now, you make a very good point Birdie x |
