With the economy in the UK going to poo, and things clearly getting worse, the rich getting rich and the poor getting poor, and police getting more and more power, would there be a breaking point? Well in the UK it looks like the point has come.
The youth have turned. Students demonstrating in many UK cities.
The respect for the police and goverment now gone.
Many over 25 years of age fail to see the reason. They condem the actions. They have become far too used to being told what to do and think. For too happy to have there rights removed.
But for the young they want a different UK.
Is this not what Michael Moore's film 'Capitalism: a Love Story' concludes. An era that people will rebell.
In the UK many students voted for the Lib Dems on the basis of free university education. The lib dems had 2 main polocies that made them stand out. End of tution fees and end of nukes. Both they seem to now forget. So if the polotitions lied, ca\n the students be blaimed. Are the student riots worse than the deception of the lib dems?
Does it matter if universities are not free in the UK?
Well it does. It changes the point and principle of british universities. Not so long ago universities were about education. Today they are simply about getting a bit of paper to enable you to (in theory) get a better job.
There was a time when in the UK a degree meant more money, but now employeers simply no longer advertise for graduates as they know most people have a degree. So now yyou can employ a graduate for very little.
In his film Michael Moore concludes that the answer is democracy, being the solution. But as somone stated in his film, democracy can be seen as two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
I would sugest the answer is education. More people know and understand things, the more they have power.
But the goverments prefer people to be thick. Football is fed to the foolish in order for them to have somthing to be bothered about. People do not care if the goverments are taking there rights away, just as long as there football team does well.
So if students have to pay for education in the uk, it reduces the nombers of students who can get education.
I wonder how different the world would be today if the great Franklin D. Roosevelthe Second Bill of Rights got through.
Why are americans not angry that they have never had these rights?
