" This isn't a democracy anymore!"- Rick Grimes

 The above quote is by a fictional character from the hit US show The Walking Dead  but it is also an appropriate way to describe the state of UK politics.

To have a truly democratic society you must have a well educated and informed society.. look around, do you REALLY see that? I admit you are seeing pockets of political active youths here and there but when you have the Government and massive institutions like the mainstream media doing there very best to squash any intellectual speech it is hard to say with a straight face that this country is a democracy.


Besides from the fact that we still have a monarchy, the Government are actively trying to push through bills that will make protesting and any type of industrial actions harder and harder to organize and one day they may even make it illegal and when that day comes you( the people) will  have lost everything. Protesting is a way to show the " powers that be" that something is very wrong and to try and hold the powerful to account. Yet they do not want this... I mean why would they want to change anything that will make their live slightly difficult or inconvenient like give good pay to nurses(?!)

The mainstream news will try and keep all the focus on the disruption caused by the striking nurses and railway workers but very few outlets will shed a light as too the why behind the strikes. For God's sake this is the first time in their history that nurses have gone on strike ! That should give you some indication as to how dire the situation is.. I mean we have nurses who have to go to foodbanks!! These are the people that looked after your loved one through the pandemic and the Government are apposed to giving them a decent pay rise.  This is the same government that claims we have a massive debt while giving away PPE contract worth million to their mates that have no clue wat PPE even is!!

Just ask yourself .. who's really looking out for you?  and who should you really be mad at?
