Anybody, ideas?? Seriously how do you propose - out to all readers - to inform the daily Sun reader of the reality that the UK's most read paper hides?<br /><br />In a somewhat negative response (support) of my question let us see how many people read and comment on this discussion...<br />Time may not be on our side.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507428676499003997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-63561863380210360192015-04-25T20:02:33.185+01:002015-04-25T20:02:33.185+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507428676499003997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-57723923466123427522015-04-25T19:57:56.275+01:002015-04-25T19:57:56.275+01:00Dr Lawson good sir and all readers,

This is because I managed to miss the link to more and some of my statements/questions are a little less relevant now.<br />However, the second 'more' section does state as I have that indeed Westminster is corrupt.<br />In an age/social norm of competition and free-trade in which those who 'know' the answer are more highly prized than those willing and/or wishing to consider the best possibilities...an age in which, as George Carlin put it (the Government controlled by the 'owners' ) does not want a population capable of critical thinking. They want obedient workers.' (https://youtu.be/rsL6mKxtOlQ)<br />They want Sun readers. They are Rupert Murdoch, not Cameron. He is a corrupted puppet. My principles agree with what is being somewhat exposed here,somewhat as this is not new news and still WE fail to meet it and change it. <br />I count myself amongst the average guy. OK I don't read the Sun. Out of pure principle. It is probably written as a sister edition to Eastenders; I will not be surprised if that, of that drivel of a soap it is one day revealed that successive governments have used this trite to persuade the average person that their lives are really better than they are. I mean, come on, one episode of rape, murder and backstabbing and the average viewer excuses all the shite in their own lives?! Again I digress ;-)<br /><br />As you say Richard,<br />"We need to remind ourselves that in a democracy, the role of Parliament is supposed to be to represent the will and interests of the ordinary people of Britain, who are the ultimate source of political power and authority. If MPs and Peers are using their office to make deals that benefit themselves personally, this is a perversion of democracy. It is corrupt in the second, more specific sense of the word."<br /><br />As Abraham Lincoln (Lincoln believed in the power of human reason to advance society) said in 1816,<br />“This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.” <br />OK he said it about the USA but, the difference? Democracy is the same principle as the constitution right, ERM...? Who has the choice?<br />WE the people must exercise our right and become more involved, less led (like blessing sheep le) and represent ourselves.<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507428676499003997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-80440864575880015522015-03-25T13:38:21.815+00:002015-03-25T13:38:21.815+00:00Ghost Whistler I have cut and pasted your question...Ghost Whistler I have cut and pasted your question in a fresh blog post (go up to the top) in order to keep this thread clear for discussion of corruption.

For example, will you meet with local staff and call for changes (assuming they are among those punishing people in this way)?Ghost Whistlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894623504179269430noreply@blogger.com
