There are so many platforms, where folks can make their views known about issues other than HiFi, cars, etc, etc. So much so, folks talk themselves out - the same societal issues are raised, albeit twisted to suit the current crop of stories doing the rounds. After 77 seven year, it is all increasingly boring - I've heard it all before.
Years and years of it, only confirms to me how much the Public are 'Willing to be Manipulated', by both Politicians and the Media. They have us stewing in our own juices and we seem to relish it. Epicurus said, ''Anyone over the age of 5 who does not realise that the Gods are men, is a fool''.
To put a modern twist on it, I offer, ''Anyone who thinks our society has gained anything over the last decade is an idiot''. Recently, a political guru on Sky, said he was looking forward to the Election as he was going to have ''So Much Fun''. It's just a game for these folks and a means of doing very well for themselves. No doubt being ''Entertained'' by politicians of every hue!
The Red Wall turned Blue, last time around - ''Things have to change, it could not be worse''. So, it did turn Blue, and things did get worse! Now, those that Aided and Abetted that worsening have ''Jumped Ship'', to form a new political sphincter group, while Farage continues with his ''Houdini Act'', getting out of every political hole he has persuaded the masses to follow him into - How is the British Fishing industry doing now, Nigel? Given you were on the EU committee for Fisheries for so many years and understood how it all worked - or didn't as you would have it. It's every body else's fault, is it not?
One man, allegedly, ''Turned Water into Wine''. This lot have been telling us they can change a crock of Cow Dung into 24 Carat Gold for as long as I can remember, and doing so again - from which we can expect to take Two Hundred and Fifty Million Pounds a week to fund the NHS. After Brexit, the greatest act of self harm any society has inflicted upon itself, I vowed, never again to vote. It is not my Country, it is not a democracy - and never has been. I have no choice as to how they have ever spent my taxes, and continue to.
I lived at a time when conscription was just coming to an end. Now, it is being touted as a means of making youngsters more rounded members of society by participating in another hairbrained scheme to dig politicians out of a hole. Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that our current political leaders have led us into a situation where the world is more unstable than it was in the 1930's.
My postal vote arrived and was immediately torn up an put in the bin. I'm out of it. Every now and then, the World suffers from Universal Bouts of Insanity, which political leaders are perpetually blind to - despite the fact that they are wholly responsible for its emergence. I can't change that - actually, I have never been able to change anything. I just pay my taxes.
So, get on with it guys. If the Political Crap really becomes so bilious over the next few weeks, at least I have my Stax Headphones to drown it out.
