Forgot!

How foolish of me, I posted a long and detailed post about the program 'V' the other day and forgot to mention the reson why I was writing it in the first place. The real reason for bringing up the program was to mention something they use in the program, 'The fifth column'. This is a phrase I haven't heard for some time, the last time I heard it was in a school history lesson when discussing the Spanish civil war. The original use for the term was to decribe a hidden or clandestine force, in the program this is the human and 'V' resistence movement.
Upon doing some research I discovered that the phrase was later adapted to mean any kind of resistence movement against the established or ruling government. More recently the 'fifth column' was described by an American author has used it to describe the 'fourth estate' or the press.
This is interesting given the general consenus here in the uk that there is no longer a free press. So is the press really on our side, some would yes, some no. The yes bridgade would argue that the press freely reports on any scandal without restraint and fill their reletive mediums with irelevent news until the next scandal presents itself. Their arguement would be bolstered by the recent expenses scandal broken by The Guardian newspaper. The no crowd would have a much more convincing and stronger arguement, the main one being the fact the news mediums here only report on one side of an arguement. The BBC, as much as I dislike them, are supposed to be the impartial, non-influenced medium of the people, but they constantly come under attack for this stance. We need only cast our mind to the furore caused by them allowing Nick Griffin on question time, I can understand the opposistion to this but by the token people should understand that this freedom has to been maintained no matter what. The moment these freedoms start to become restricted is the moment we start to shift towards fascism.

First post

Well here we are, what is this all about. Well I am here to rant, vent and maybe change the way some think! This blog is an anti-political blog towards the government of the UK. Since the beginning of 2009 we have seen our wonderful, so called better men try and buy us out of recession, using our money as the tool! We have also seen the expenses' scandal come and go like a bad smell, this is among many other things. The banking bailout was a pathetic attempt by a lagging government to be seen to be doing "something", this is stupid when we consider the fact that what got us into the into the mess in the first place is what is know as casino banking! This means that we put our money and trust into banks and on a yearly basis the put our money on red or black! In 2008 this went badly and they lost our money. The pathetic thing about the bailout is they used our money(tax money) to pay our money back but did nothing to change the way the banking system works! So we should perhaps prepare ourselves for another collapse!
The expenses' scandal is even worse and rather than go through everything that has been claimed for why is this issue now dead especially when MP's pushed through a raise in what they can claim for by about £25 per day quite recently! Maybe they need more pornographic movie's! In my opinion Richard Nixon committed less criminal actions than our current leaders! This brings me to the end of my first post, so here's the real reason for this blog "could we have a peoples' revolt against our limp politicians, leading to a disbandment of our current leaders and system and the creation of a new one?"
