Any idea what else we should do?
My point is that there is sod-all you can do. What is about to be done to you has already been planned and agreed by so-called democratic governments in agreement with private corporations and the shift has been from the original perspective - in which we, the punters, used to elect governments to be trusted to handle the larger affairs we couldn't be fagged with or didn't know enough about, to a situation in which the government (in happy partnership with 'Private Enterprise') regards us as cannon fodder, to be used and manipulated as it sees fit. C'est ca. How do you propose we go back? Even if we could conceivably get a win out of this one, it still won't stop the way things are headed.

I'm afraid that we, as the half-way intelligent and aware, have been comprehensively sidelined by the overwhelming might of Rupert Murdoch, his minions and his imitators, who have created a scenario whereby anyone who questions the idea of economic success (at any price) is automatically a subversive. Which of course all of you guys are. Not to mention...............
