Most of us are led like sheep from daily mail headlines of immigrants bleeding us dry or dss cheats ect ect.The reality is those at the top are bleeding us dry ! I think you'll find tax evasion by the wealthy costs us seven or eight times more but you dont get those headlines in your rag,only the were all in it together crap.What chance have you got of getting into the top jobs or positions in this country if you haven't got a privileged background or wealthy parents to fund you ? How many on the frontline of politics haven't been been privately educated ? Were getting more and more screwed and they know it,just how long till the bubble really bursts.
Correct.
"You need something to frighten people with, to prevent them from paying attention to what's really happening to them. You have to somehow engender fear and hatred, to channel the kind of rage - or discontent - that's being aroused by social and economic conditions."
Noam ChomskyTake this to current conditions, we have the illegal immigrants who are a constant source of media attention - an easy target. Hilter used Jews and Gypsy's we use illegal immigrants - people who are burdens of the state (single mothers, the unemployed etc) are another useful target - as are gays and anything else that doesn't fit the daily mail agenda.
Take the horse meat scandal - a scandal of the free market - the instant reaction was to blame the foreigner - for a supermarket to blame their suppliers for supplying them with dodgy food is like a cab driver blaming a garage for supplying them red diesel. Except for the fact we know the cab driver isn't a multi million pound company and is therefore open to criminal charges.
Yet is the horse meat scandal a deflection? News has been due to surface about further scandals surrounding ex ministers.
