Beschrijving

We are living at a time of great change and signs of degradation and collapse in our countries. One of the main reasons is the lack of leaders with vision, integrity and a desire to work for the greater good. Ironically, while all this is going on, we are constantly being assailed by the word 'Leader' being applied to all and sundry people in senior position regardless of their incompetence as if using this word somehow makes you a leader. Besides, who needs leaders that are basically technocrats or bureaucrats. It's a contraction in terms. We are being led by liars, chancers, opportunists, fake, paid-for hacks, in all aspects of our lives. Unless we change that, we as a nation, and we, the collective West, are heading for a collapse. We need leaders, in a new system, with integrity and honour whose main motivation is not self-interest and greed. It is the only way to a better future.

Theatre of the Absurd The UK Election

We have had a general election. A new government is now in power. What have we learnt? That our electoral system is not fit for purpose. That a government with a landslide in terms of MP's elected had a lower share of votes when it had far fewer and was deemed to have failed. A government that, despite its perceived mandate, will continue largely with the failed policies of the last gopvernment that was so unceremoniously kicked out of office. What does this mean for us as the British people, and our country? The future both for geopoilitical reasons and the internal failings does not look bright. We need to look at a system that is both more representative, more focused on the needs of our people and nation, and more independent in its world view. Otherwise, we will end up a small, grey island on the outskirts of Europe locked into an ever increasing spiral of decline.

Britain is Losing Its Identity!

We have seen over our lifetime, Britain lose shape as a nation and dissolve slowly into a grey morass of confusion without a sense of itself, what it believes in, what it stands for, and who it works for. This is because Britain today is a vassal state of America. The imposition of the uncivic American values is the cause of our decline as a society and a nation. We belive our proud boast that, 'Britons Never, Never, Never, Shall Be Slaves' needs to be heard now when our nation is facing an existential threat to it.  We need to stop this before we become a sad, little nation on the outskirts of Europe, with an ever decreasing circle of paths which lead our people into ever increasing poverty and loss of optimism and pride in what we are and what they feel they are.  We are an old nation. London was a city one thousand years ago. But it’s something we seem to have forgotten in Britain. Time to remember is here, now.
