Our Humanity?

After observing the behaviour of certain people it has become glaringly obvious- being a sociopath has become socially acceptable, This is a frightening truth that has started with the people at the top. I will list a few personality traits and let's see who they remind you of.

1, Deceitfulness- repeated lying and conning others for profit

2, Incapacity to feel guilt or even to acknowledge that you are wrong

3.  Having absolutely no concern for the feelings of others

4, Failure to conform to social norm in respect to lawful behaviour.


Certain " people" will have all of these traits. and many are in Government! If this becomes acceptable to the people at the top. then it will " trickle down" to the general public. In the end we will have an uncaring and rather cold society where no one cares about anything else but the bottom line, Is this what we really want?  This kind of individualism will leave an awful lot of people behind and bring contempt and hated into your hearts and push out and sense of decency or compassion which is what makes us human.

Starving Society?

The NHS is this country is under assault from the mass hysteria of the media and a misinformed public. Many papers have their front pages splashed with headlines declaring that the NHS is broken, but is it really? And by whom? They will then go on and on about how migrants and foreigners are a burden on the institution, but are they really to blame? All the papers neglect to remind us that the Tories have spent decades de-funding the NHS and have actually caused this "crisis".

People will say that there are more people and less doctors, which is true. But populations will grow regardless of immigration, and the government is meant to plan for this. What we have got instead of  competent people in charge, we have got a bunch of buffoons miss-allocating funds, Maybe instead of funding Trident ( that doesn't work properly!) we give some much needed money to the NHS.

Some hospitals are being used as care homes instead and patients that are ready to be discharged have to prolong their stay because  there is nowhere else for them to go, and instead of kicking them out ( like some countries) our NHS is still about helping people get better....but will it be like that for long?

People have taken it for granted believing it will always be there, but if you take a closer look you'll see, the tories have already chipped away at it by using their latest tool: austerity and by distracting the public by using their fear of the "other".

Bursting the bubble

The job of a journalist is to inform people of what their Government is doing, after all the Government is meant to be working for the betterment of society, which is all the people, And not only that, but people from outside of your country will judge you, the citizen on what your Government is doing. and if this is a " democracy" then the Government are doing what the people want.

Suffice to say, the news media plays an integral role in society. Whether people what to admit it or not, they are influenced/ manipulated by the media. That is why the journalist should be allowed to do their job without interference from an outside force. Also it is the job of the press to hold the people in power to account and to ask difficult questions and to push back when politicians out right lie.


Now in Trumps America, any news organisation that tries to do their job is "fake news". He wants the media just to sit back and tell him how great he is. And anyone that tries to ask him a proper question, he will just refuse to answer the question and just ban them from press conferences altogether.

It's not just across the pond but here as well. If anyone is paying attention to Theresa, she never actually answers the difficult and important questions. When she come across a question she doesn't particularly likes, she just re phrases the question in a form of an answer- just like in America!

This is a dangerous trend because how will the public ever truly know what the Government is doing in their name. And the people will lose out the most because they will only be told what the Government wants them to know and they will be oblivious to what they are actually doing. This is also how the "powers that be" can manipulate the masses into voting for things that will only benefit the rich while screwing the general public.

The news media is meant to be a tool to get to the truth, not a shovel to cover it up.
