People can be conditioned to be happy if physical discomforts are mostly dealt with and at the moment that seems to be the future.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-40561382617451213102015-07-05T20:16:01.280+01:002015-07-05T20:16:01.280+01:00It' s ongoing, insidious and there's no of...It' s ongoing, insidious and there's no off switch.<br />We have gone through decades of infantilisation, you can't do anything or think anything for yourself all has to be directed and proscribed by big nanny.<br />The greatest problem is below a certain age all this is accepted as normal.<br />If you go on any of the social media sites, face book et al, they're all vacuous emotive and nudge driven, how good am I to post this and how evil are you if you don't agree with it.<br />I don't no where or what the engine is that's driving it but it would appear that the desired outcome is a compliant and obedient populace of financial units to be monetised to the greatest extent.<br />I'm sure that TPTB will breathe a great sigh of relief when the last of the older generation, who can think for themselves, die out.<br />My only hope is that the up and coming generations will hate the society they seem so determined to help make.Flyintheskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08727985139542701667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-48983794935372351572015-07-05T19:02:35.444+01:002015-07-05T19:02:35.444+01:00Longrider - I do too.

I looked it up and found that it is a Government policy to connect legislation to changing personal behaviour. This wasn't somebody's opinion, it is published on line by the Cabinet office and is signed by the Cabinet Secretary. I, too, am horrified that we seem to be headed in the direction that people's thoughts and behaviour will be controlled by whichever authority happens to be in the ascendant. Thank God that I am 84 years old and soon to leave all this hideous nonsense behind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267170289726545355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-66020086872275188242015-07-05T10:00:06.519+01:002015-07-05T10:00:06.519+01:00Just waiting for the Department for Pre-Thoughts.Just waiting for the Department for Pre-Thoughts.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.com
