Do we need to march!?

As the people of the 'affluent' west continue to see their living standards eroded by corrupt politicians and bankers I begin to wonder how much the people will accept before they say 'I am fed up with this'! What will it take before the masses suddenly begin to understand that they have been totally ripped off by the New World Order? 


As the economies of countries like China, India and Brazil take off into the stratosphere the 'old guard' of world peace struggle to meet their debts. The people are being systematically impoverished. Old fashioned 'Law and Order', old fashioned 'Fairness', old fashioned 'Morality' have all been under attack from a silent and secret foe which is attacking the principles of 'Christianity'. 


So as a pawn in this power game what can I do? How can I retain a semblance of sanity when all round me I see devilment. I am not a 'believer' but I do recognise the difference between good and evil. The basic principles of Christianity has served us well for centuries. The ten commandments have always been the building blocks for any decent society. 


How far will we, the public, allow the elite to descend into the abyss before we say 'This is not right'? What will it take before we have to defend our children, our property and our meaningful lives from well almost any threat?  Who is protecting me from the foreign invasion? OK so far it is not a direct threat but look at the London riots last year when the police melted into the background.


How long will it be before the banks apologise for losing your money? How long will it be before your pensions cannot be honoured? What will it take before you realise that you have been screwed beyond your imagination and your life is valueless?


I know you will think that I am a nutter and I seriously hope that I am wrong but this is the direction into which we are heading. I know that you all believe that in our society it could not happen but I remember the 1950's. In those days we had never heard the word paedophile and all children played happily, without any parental control, in the parks and streets.


In those days many men went to work in a hard, physical, environment and brought home a regular, guaranteed, wage packet. Thousands had a camaderie that served us well in two World Wars. Mum stayed at home and was always on hand to stabilise the family. Loyalty was the code and if anyone broke that code then they were dishonoured. The only people who ever broke that code had money and attended universities like Oxford and Cambridge (and still do).


If anyone had told me that the society of the 1950's could have been dismantled to such an extent that by 2012 criminals could commit over 200 crimes before they were jailed I would have scoffed. As you know I could continue with many examples. So if I say to you that we must reverse this trend because if we don't then one day you will be forced to barter so that your family will avoid starvation would you listen? 


If you continue along these lines someone will steal your house. If we continue along these lines some of you will beg for water in a country that has more water descend on it than almost any in the planet. The directors of these public utility companies would prefer to take millions in bonuses than mend the leaks and you accept that!


If you continue to believe that you are in 'safe hands' and that the Queen is still your monarch then I am sorry but you will deserve all that you get. Angela Merkel has more authority than Elizabeth Windsor. Get used to it! If you don't like it then change it or at least challenge it. We are the public and we can change it and challenge it. We can do it in any which way that we want. We can switch on and do it through the ballot box or we can get real and do what we have to do. 


We pensioners have power but we just do not believe it. If you want to save the nation then we must only do one thing we must ....MARCH!

Nostalgia

I have had an idle night this evening just surfing the net and generally watching Blackpool beating West Brom and also watching that wonderful series 'Spooks'. This is my little paradise, my computer, two tellies and my keyboard. I am never bored and I can seek out my mates whenever I want. Downstairs is my wife of 41 years tapping away on her DS games player secure that she is at long last free of watching SKY Sports!

Like so many others I 'Google' the past and present and tonight I 'googled' my old school. Way back in 1954 I achieved the almost impossible for a kid from a Council estate beause I passed the 11+ and qualified for a really elite grammar school. It was called Derby School and it had 400 years of tradition behind it.

This poor kid from a Scottish working class family actually qualified for a school for the 'posh' kids and my parents were ecstatic! Unfortunately neither of us could,at the time, cope with my achievement and I failed miserably when it came around to the GCE results. However my REAL education had been achieved and I have never looked back from the wonderful Derby School education that I received.

Tonight I 'Googled' Derby School and found a wonderful photograoph of my teachers (or so many of them). I could not believe it! There in front of my eyes were Fizzer, Loopy, Jack, Rocky and Boris! The Internet is a wonderful tool if used properly. Tears in the eyes folks...if only I knew then what I know now!
