A closed West?

We are overly smug here in the West, we think we have Democracy and we are so civil compared to the rest of the world, but are we really??

Steps of a Closing Society

1. Invoke an internal and external threat- Muslims, migrants, take your pick!

2. Secret prisons where torture takes place.

3. Develop Paramilitary Force- Have you seen the Police at a peaceful march??

4. Surveil ordinary citizens- The Snoopers Charter, anyone?!

5. Infiltrate citizens group

6. Detain and release ordinary citizens

7. Target key individuals

8. Restrict the press- Which is done by giving them no information or talking about nothing like TM

9. Recast criticism as espionage and dissent as treason

10. Subvert the rule of law- Or just leave and make up new ones that benefit you and screw the people.

Are we really that progressive?

A progressive west?

Education is the heart of a healthy society, if you have well educated people they are more likely to make reasonable decisions, which will impact society in one way or another. Education should not be thought as something only the elite should have, it should be for the whole population. It has been getting a negative reputation of late, people view it as a form of snobbery or elitism- it shouldn't be this way!


Education is a tool to help you be more critical about what you read or hear about in daily life and to come up to your own conclusions. A prime example where people perhaps should have been more critical, the EU Referendum. People should have some knowledge of what the European Union did for us before voting to leave, now because of that decision, all of us will pay the price of job insecurity, less worker's rights, less health protection especially on food. less environmental protection and we will probably welcome more rights violations and less privacy. All of this will happen because the people didn't inform themselves and believed everything the politician were spewing out without bothering to fact-check. The Campaigners were then called on their promises afterwards and it was the told to us that it was pure BS, by this point the damage had already been done. It has become evident that the news media are not going to do their job, so it  up to us to WAKE UP.

To say that everyone who voted to leave were racist or dumb is simply unfair,  they were simply misinformed and trusted that the news media was going to do their job. which is to report the news in a fair and balanced way.


The culture here has always been to follow what the States are doing, I don't know about you, but that type of thinking sends chills down my spine! They just elected a " snakeoil salesman" to be the commander in chief. This is a businessman that has had bankruptsies in the past and other shams such as Trump University and is incredibly thin skinned that he can't take any criticism and has thus declared war on any news organisation that doesn't bow at his feet. This is an authoritarian if ever there was one, and isn't he meant to be leader of the "free world"?  I guess free means something else now because it's starting to feel rather cold and heartless if anyone bothered to pay any attention to what he actually said at his rallies. Everyone was more caught up in the show, they didn't pay attention to the dangerous rhetoric he was spewing.
He has no political experience, and some how the people think this is a good thing??  Why would anyone want a person like that in charge? I mean I wouldn't choose my doctor that way, I would expect him to know what he is doing because the consequences of him not knowing could be fatal. The same should go for people in Government, after all the policy decisions they make will effect your lives, so when people come out and say how they are excited by his lack of understanding and knowledge of the political ins and outs, this should be very frightening for the people and should not be applauded.

This " war on intelligence" has been growing in the States for a long time, and everything they do we have to copy. Just look at Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, they have gotten into their position's because the people identify a feel comforted by their idiotic behaviour. The people wrongly believe that they are just like us, when they are both toffs and come from money. But the people here are do easily manipulated and can't see that they are working against the public interest.

The people should understand that education is no just for the elites, education is the way in which you, the people can see through all these lies and manipulations a discover the truths that they don't want you to know and finally make this world a better place for us all to live in together. By viewing education as a fault we have regressed as a society and are poorer because of this- not because of the immigrants!
