Blown in the Wind

Blown in the Wind

I dont think saying sorry will make any difference anymore.

You say sorry to someone for accidently bumping into them in the street, not for systematically screwing what you can within the rules of parliamentary expenses.

For that you have to first resign, then say sorry, nothing else cuts the mustard for people who would have us believe that they are selfless ‘public servants’ in the job to ‘help hard working families and small business’.

Exactly how many of our standard bearer public servant politicians resigned over being ‘clever’ with expenses rules.?

NONE

They prefer to hide like cowards behind the exact wording of ‘the rules’.

The currency of all politicians is the lowest I can ever recall, the labour party have dragged the whole institution down with them. Only the lib dems seem to be left with a shred of integrity and honesty of action intact.

Talk to the ‘man in the street’ everybody is sick to death of them, there is no ideology to vote for no passion, no alternative vision, just a hobsons choice between the charisma of the leaders.

I wish something compelling and fresh and decent would come along and sweep this lot away, even that is hard to imagine. The incumbents on both sides have learnt the system so well now alternative views never get a serious look in the media unless you dress up as superman and strap yourself to big ben…then and only then do you get coverage but in the process lose mainstream credibility.

Done for by creeping complicity and lack of vision, what ever happened to building jerusalem in Englands green and pleasant land after WW2?.

Now all we aspire to build is shopping malls, casinos and cafe bars.

Worse than that we are now getting set up by the incumbents to line their pockets for one final time before the big crash.

Investors take note, banks will offer you 3.5% interest so long as you sign up for 1, 2 or 3 years. They know and are actively lobbying for the conditions such that next year interest rates will be on the climb again in a big way and hey guess who will be creaming off all the profits and bonuses on your savings locked in at 3.5% ????

Yet noboddy does a god dam thing about it, not the BBC not the newspapers, not anyone, they are all part of the same club.

We used to be able to rely on the BBC at least until Alaister Campbell cynically and systematically pulled out all their free spririted journalistic teeth for their ‘weapons of mass destruction’ governmental deception. How many weapons did they find again? How many links to Al queda did they find again??

Why arn’t more people angry, why arn’t journalists furious with governments and bankers?

Are we all so wrapped up in surfing the net,saving for pensions that will be worth nothing and trying to achieve the impossible of staying young and rich forever to bother building something sustainable and beautiful?

I was in Edinburgh this week, we are not even capable of building the beautiful architecture you can see there now, all we can build is cheap and nasty looking pre-fab glass and steel edifices that look rusty, dated and dirty within a few years. Where is the magnificence in society?

For goodness sake wake UP!!!

Why do I bother.

We will carry on like this until a crisis forces us to change. No point in pointing out the obvious it seems, the only thing that will get people off thier backsides will be when mass uneployment or worse directly influenses a critical mass of people.

Unfortunately due to our technology and effciency that threshold will be very high in the modern world, if people can claim benefits and still eat and have broadband and a crate of high strengh lager a week nothing will happen, except of course noboddy will have any real pleasure in existing.

Rant over, nobody ever does anything anyway, im just p****** into the wind.

Jericoa
