When I compare the might of the Roman Empire with the plight of the 50th Italian Government, since the war, and also the demise of our "Empire on which the Sun never Set". I feel somehow that the Spirit has left the nations.Perhaps, its just as well the fires of nationalism are dying as the Old Order is changing.
The London government is fossilised into the ways and means of the 18th century. In the Cloakroom of the Palace of Westminster each member of Parliament has a hook to hang his sword. No wonder the current government was elected by only 20% of the Electorate!
The citizens of this land no longer trust or believe the politicians of any colour.
We reserve our fondest hatred for our Brussels Overlords who have seen to it that Europe Rules UK. without any need to ask its combined nations. The British hate Brussels but so do the French,Italians Germans and Spanish to name but a few.
Football aside, listen to the arguments in any pub, which centre around what should be done in our country.
Just as the Vested Interest kept the Telegraph pole in use long after the telephone became commonly used. The Vested Interest of politicians will never,ever allow the Citizenry of Europe anywhere near the Internet to Vote for action. On-line voting coupled with valid ID, eyescans, fingerprints, ID cards could so easily be used to direct our national life but not in a Parliament where opposing parties are kept 2 sword lengths apart from each other behind two red lines on a carpet.[see pic]
We can choose our holidays and organise our travel across the world with a few mouse clicks but are we allowed to organise our Politics? . Certainly Not - Nanny Knows Best.
