That's the issue for me - I don't see anything but mild dissatisfaction and a vast amount of ignorance.<br /><br />People just don't make the effort.

We don't have the social infrastructure to re-run a Jarrow march. Anyway, what are we angry about? Certainly traditional freedoms are being curtailed and incompetence and lying are more obvious but to my mind it's the economy really. In response the parasitic professions seem on the rise but I suspect these are a result of planned makework schemes to create loyalty and make us a little wary of dissent.<br /><br />So what do we want to change, the system or the economy? I doubt economic realities can be changed from here so it's the system - make 'They Work for Us' something other than a sick joke.<br /><br />I think that disruptive voting would be a good protest - simply avoid voting for the incumbent party even if they seem tolerably OK. Vote to disrupt safe seats even if you must hold your nose. Need to be a bit smarter than just 'UKIP'. Plan to disrupt voting patterns such that parties face an unpredictable hit who's only reply is to wait impotently until the next election. Another is to encourage the young to vote - and get them to give the parties a hard time. The tools and media are easily available and would be dangerous to interfere with. Hit where it hurts - in the pocket - until they get the message.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-52163547528561240042014-07-10T20:20:30.908+01:002014-07-10T20:20:30.908+01:00Yes, bread and circuses - and for the moment, abse...Yes, bread and circuses - and for the moment, absence of revolutionary leadership from the middle class.
