Delusional aspirations

Teeny tiny island …..

That has grand delusions. Have you ever looked at the UK on a globe? We are a tiny island but with the amount of debt and the way the politicians talk about it, one would believe we are a grand empire. I guess that’s kind of the problem, Britain still believes it’s an empire, they are certainly spending money as if they are! Why can’t they just accept that the old days of doing things are done and just think about their people instead of trying to seem like a “big shot” and ignoring the plight of the people? How about making sure your people have somewhere to live, food to feed their families and can read! If they focused more on these things that what other people think than maybe they would be adored and not hated by the majority of the population.

They are so focused on being noticed that they have neglected the people, and why is that I hear you ask? It’s rather simple, they look to the States and they think that is progress. I believe ( and I might be alone in this) you shouldn’t encourage mass fraud on your population and that you shouldn’t be evicting people out of their homes and kicking them to the kerb. Over half the population shouldn’t be below the poverty line and scavenging for food, while the few people of privilege have too much food and waste most of.  This is not progress in my mind, far from it, this is a former empire in decline and the fact that most Brits don’t see it, saddens me.

What is so wrong with doing something on a small sale but doing it well? The Anglo-Saxon mentality can just think of a couple of things and that is to expand and consume, isn’t that how we got into this mess to begin with, the banks were allowed to get larger and larger and no one was paying attention till it went so terrible wrong. Also people and businesses got used to getting cheap credit that they forgot that one day, someone has to pay the bill. Now I expect a certain amount of “stupidness” from the private individual- seeing as though most of them quit school at 16! But for the all powerful Government to make the same mistake, now that’s just depressing!
