Occupy identified how a small percentage of the population hold a disproportionate amount of the wealth (and vilified them).
When we attack a certain group or tribe, we demonstrate our own fear of the 'other'.
We aim to being the 'other' together, whoever and wherever they are. The only barrier to entry being if they believe themselves to be above the law, or beyond reproach.

A movement dedicated to theconcept of a society whereinpublic servants and electedofficials work solely in theinterests of that public whichelected them and pays them.
How many pairs of cutlery canyou hold at any one time?Your canteen may be splendidand the spoon in your mouthmay be silver BUT there’s alimit to what you actually needin life. The environment andsociety can’t afford to indulgegreed…
The entire fabric of society isintertwined. We’ve been ledto believe, by those that lead,that if we pull on the wrongthread, the whole fabric willbe undone.
The general public believe thateducation is a good thing.They have also been lead tobelieve that you get what youpay for. And our leaders canafford to go to the best schools.
Our leaders have forgottenthat you lead by example, andhave created a great divide.
For generations we’ve beensystematically infantilised.Buying a fluffy teddy in a cardshop that says ‘World’s BestMum’ doesn’t always expressreality. A fair and just societycan’t be built on wishfulthinking. We have to work forwhat we want. And if those inthe job aren’t doing it justice…
… it’s our duty to dismissthem and get new people in.
What every prospective leaderof Government does, is tell usthat they agree with us. ‘It’ is‘awful’, and when they get intopower, they’ll change thesystem to ensure ‘this’ neverhappens again. And then, theyget into power… and what’sthis? The naughty previousparty, left a terrible mess…
… and nothing changes.
Why would they… tamper witha system that got them elected?
… want to change the OldGuard? The Old School Tienetwork works. For them.
In order to break these ties,bonds that prevent our havingand enjoying a just society, wehave to present an argumentand an alternative, that’s justright… not ‘Goldilocks’ right.
If your movement or partyhas an underlying philosophythat’s fair, just, equitable andwell-reasoned; they can argue,thus exposing themselves forexactly what they are.
I don’t want to feel that justbecause I don’t understand theproblems, that those who do,can decide for me; when theydon’t consider my interests.When I chose a leader, I wantthem to help me get ahead.Does that sound unfair?
I don’t want to have to choseright or left. Shouldn’t societyand politics have evolvedsufficiently to have establishedequilibrium? Why should I haveto choose repeatedly and feelI’ve made the wrong decision?Doesn’t that sound unfair?
If our current leaders are bestof breed (rather than in-bred)and have enjoyed all thebenefits that privilege canbestow, shouldn’t outcomesbe better, as they’re smarter?
Joining a party. Subscribing andthen sitting back, waiting forsomeone else to right the wrongs(or protect our group interests)and do what’s correct; hasn’treally worked has it? It all soundsfine and dandy, until the endresult is a bunch of dandiesenjoying fine-dining at society’sexpense in palatial ambience.
Loads of people are grumbling,whinging, whining, moaning,groaning and whittering.Funny how many words weBrits have for such things.Less funny, is how, when youask people to do somethingabout it, they change theirtune.
There’s a German word for it:Schadenfreude… takingpleasure in the misfortune ofothers. Research proves thatwe Brits would happily take aknock or a hit, as long as thosearound us suffer more badly.That’s doesn’t sound right, butthat’s how it’s been for ages.Fair pay and fair play R.I.P..
They’ve used plenty of hot airplus tax pounds inflating thehousing bubble. As usualthere’s a sting in the tale. Allthose deposits supplied byGovernment must be repaidin five years… but what doesup, must come down.
