Are you going to admit it?

This Government has failed, forget the other side for now. Can you accept they have failed miserably?

Well, if the tories cannot manage money any more, then god help us for the rest of the parties get involved.

 

They are all currently bad, but I think the alternatives are much worse. A case of less crap, rather than best option.

 

I blame the new politicians coming through in all parties who ten years ago where of this new generation who are tech savvy, common sense short. Gone though education and never been told they are wrong or disciplined in any way. Everyone got a winners medal just for taking part...that sort of thing. We are now seeing the fruits of that.

The entire world economic system is ****************ed. Too may people, not enough resources and labour, and people have gotten used to living it large. This was fine as long as three quarters of the human race was living in medieval squalor. But now the rest of the world wants a middle class lifestyle, and they're not taking "no" for an answer.

 

There's just not enough pie to keep everyone in the custom to which we are accustomed.

 

That's problem number 1

 

Problem number 2 is people are more retarded now then they used to be. Intellectually, and morally. And it's getting worse.

 

Our populations are aging, spoilt, entitled, stupid, addicted and without self esteem or drive. We have allowed our governments to legislate us into a corner, where we have no power, no real freedom and no room to grow.

 

Government is a symptom of the quality of the general population. They are us.

 

Add the explosion of communications technology in the last twenty years - which we were NOT ready for, psychologically. Psychopathic power players in the economic sphere, giving marching orders to morally bankrupt retards in government. It's all completely ****************ed and there's no way back. No way back because we sold the farm, figuratively speaking.

 

Get ready for poverty like we have never known in our lifetimes.

I'm in a particularly good mood today, J... Aced a mean assisted fell this morning. 26m spruce, 28" and didn't hit the high tension lines. Two days of bushwhacking and struggling through the two foot thick beard of ivy to reach the rigging point, and to clear an access to the tree and the anchor tree. Did the pull early this morning, couple of hours when the wind died down.

You are like a little ray of sunshine aren't you. I wouldn't argue against most of what you've written, but it always strikes me as a little 'glass half empty' when we hear about all this poverty that's going to rain down on us all. Whilst some will struggle, there has never been a better time to take responsibility for your own financial situation and thrive regardless of whatever economic situation we are being told to fear.

I hear you. And I'd agree completely - if this was a normal cyclical recession like all the others.

 

Sadly, the time to take financial responsibility was five to ten years ago. It might very well be too late for the majority. Think Soviet Union collapse, western style.

 

But what do I know... Maybe it will work out. I hope so. Might be some big sociological changes though. I'd like to see the peoples of Europe find a renewed purpose and vigour, maybe a dose of real hardship would be the tonic we need.

I'm in a bar near Bedford now, everyone seems surprised that they're a bunch of rotters, which is strange as they seem reasonably intelligent.

At least it's not Corbyn.
