Ditto for airport security
_______________________________________________
To have ‘Drink Aware’ warnings in small print on retail booze, but huge bannered offers of two cases of lager for the price of one – and Happy Hours in pubs
_______________________________________________
To develop spam-blocking software so crude and yet anally Victorian it limits freedom of email expression without in any way blocking its target
_______________________________________________
To allow television advertising for compensation-claim legal work. This is simply cementing the litigious ‘I’m entitled’ mentality, and pushes up the cost of both commerce and government
________________________________________________
To carry on with the myth that globalist, deregulated neo-liberal economics are the future
_________________________________________________
That there is no alternative to the Bourse system as a means of capitalising business
__________________________________________________
To make asking questions about employee plans and status illegal
__________________________________________________
To sell heavily discounted retailer booze in a binge culture
__________________________________________________
To have lax 24/7 licensing laws in a late-evening drunkenness culture
__________________________________________________
To persevere with a correction system which clearly doesn’t work. (And even dafter to build more prisons)
__________________________________________________
That crime is going down but prison inmate numbers are going up
__________________________________________________
That everything’s just the same as it always was, but getting better
__________________________________________________
That educational standards and breadth are as good as forty years ago
__________________________________________________
To close hospital wards in order to meet budget targets
__________________________________________________
To have life-survival products in private hands
__________________________________________________
To spend millions on obesity education, but leave food manufacturers to offer discounts, two-for-one, and giant-size versions of junk food
_________________________________________________
To allow largely uncontrolled immigration when the country is already overburdened by social service costs, housing problems and acutely high population density
_________________________________________________
To have a globally linked banking system, when the probability of domino-effect was always so obvious
_________________________________________________
To extol the virtues of globalism when the planet faces such serious ecological problems
_________________________________________________
To solve a social problem of splintered families today (more housing) by storing up another one for tomorrow (no countryside left)
________________________________________________
To spend 232 hours of Parliamentary time debating how to kill vermin
________________________________________________
For politicians to continue with their obsessively media-trained, evasive approach to issues when it is clear the voters despise them for it
________________________________________________
To have remote, all-powerful central government deciding on local and community issues. (And even dafter to make county, police and hospital districts bigger still.)
________________________________________________
To continue giving planning permissions to multiple food retailers, when communities are already under pressure to survive
________________________________________________
To persevere with an outmoded and undemocratic voting system, when the one we have merely furthers the aims of a cosy, deaf Establishment
_________________________________________________
To allow a tiny minority to get richer and richer, and a sizeable minority to get poorer and poorer
________________________________________________
To leave the welfare dependancy culture largely untouched
________________________________________________
To allow electronically/telephonically based businesses not to have such methods of communication open to customers with a service complaint to make
_________________________________________________
To make billions of cheap, shoddy items we have to soon throw away when the Earth is already in need of more landfill space
