A Fractious Country

There is something nasty going on. GB was once, not long ago, a multi-cultural tolerant country where, in the general sense people got along with each other, respected their differences and accepted the world, and in particular GB with its Empire heritage, was made up of many cultures and faiths. On the face of it this is still the case and to make sure it remains so legislation protecting minorities and their rights has been strengthened with full public support. It was also a country with a working democracy delivering efficient government.

But in living memory this country has never been more fractious and divided, nor the government less able to deliver. There is a systemic gulf growing ever wider between rich who get richer often for little to no reason other than asset inflation, whilst the poor become poorer. This is because of the flawed economic model now in force, about which this blog has posted endless criticism. But beyond that there are now social tensions and public arguments about Brexit, antisemitism, Islamophobia, immigration, foreign workers and hosts of smaller issues which pop up and down daily, changing the atmosphere in which we all live. For the worse. The young carry knives and kill each other almost daily.

At the heart of it all is the utterly appalling example of this current parliament, which vies for the notoriety of being our worst in history. Not only is it proving, along with the government formed of its members, absolutely incapable of delivery of the greatest peacetime event in modern history, Brexit, in whatever form. But it is hopelessly split on this mega project, and the various parties are split within themselves on this and other issues, some of them ugly, to the point where the media is jammed with news of their never ending rows, admonishments, grandstanding and threats. Soon this has to stop.

It will.

But How?

That is the question.

Think about it.
