all wrong, but I can't see you putting much right without a lot of
public unrest. Politics here has tended to be more low key, but the
corrupt links are the same - one wonders when and where Blair and
Obama were trained to be bag men for JP Morgan Chase? I'm not
democratic in the sense I don't believe majority voting is much of a
system because it can be so easily manipulated and leave us with no
one worth voting for - which is now the case. I think we will have to
take to the streets to bring down the existing powers and should
rather than be the usual middle class bums pretending to care. Keep
it up!
