I've never been interested in politics and I'm thankful that I managed to get through my whole self employed and really quite difficult working life without being dependant on the government for anything, the only thing you can depend on politicians to do is to screw up you and everything else and then move on vacating the position for the next unworthy that comes along, imo.
Not long after setting myself up with a workshop in '82 we got hit with Thatcher and with quite a large bank debt I like many others ended up with an interest rate of 18 % and for years every penny put in the bank vanished and survival became the name of the game... particularly in places like Glasgow and other industrial cities where tens of thousands had their livelihoods shut down and were cast onto the dole.
Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue in today's debt ridden society if they were to be hit with that kind of interest rate.
So while previously just being hard working, keeping my head down and trying not to fall foul of the system has been enough to keep food on the table and allow me to mind my own business, this era seems to be coming to an end and now that tech has reached a significantly advanced state that them that like to tell us what to do feel empowered enough to want to mind my business for me.
I know these days it's become unpopular to believe the evidence of your own eyes and also comment on what you see, but having spent my whole life largely ignoring politicians I'm now sitting up and taking notice as I see what these people are trying to do all round the world and as far as I'm concerned they do not deserve the technology that's now at their fingertips, politics attracts devious people who should not have limitless power over others lives, it's like giving AK47's to monkeys.
To me I see the kind of stuff being argued about on here and everywhere else as being exactly what they want and just a distraction while behind the scenes they beaver away at the next way to feck us all.
And that may well be to control us all digitally, you've only got to look at what's happening elsewhere with governments around the world being infiltrated by the WEF and following their stated agenda.
