Complacency... OK, where..? Oh, yes...

A lot of words have been written as well as spoken about migration. Obviously migration as we experience it today with the so-called boats across the Channel. Firstly of all I believe this will not stop. Certainly not with the way present and past governments have tried to deal with that particular situation. There seems to be a belief by a lot of MPs migration is a good thing. Also it seems the governments are living in a different type of country the rest of us are. The present PM Keir Starmer is incredibly fond of burbling on about ‘Making the hard decisions’. It seems to have said to him it will make people more amenable to accept whatever you might have to come up with as far as taxation is concerned. Well, let’s see what the ‘hard’ decisions really are. As far as I can see it has just been taxation. In other words we all have to pay more for continuing the same ways, the same rigmarole, the same calamities. There have been no ground braking changes in the way we must deal with society’s problems, no changes in economic thinking by government, nothing really any different at all. The same crap about more money for the NHS which almost certainly will be wasted on higher salaries for top administrative staff, the same crap about Net-Zero without any ideas of how to attain that or even how it relates to everything else humans do in everyday life. Starmer either is being taken on a ride or he is more gullible than we thought he already was. I would really like to now what governments think they are supposed to do. For instance is this immigration problem really something we actually wanted? Or needed? It is said the cleverest guru in the political wilderness was Tony Blair, it was he who said that immigration would be good for our industrial well-being. He forgot to say – and we ourselves can continue to get benefits for our poor mental state. The result which is still increasing today, our young people and a sizeable chunk of oldies are now sitting at home drinking any alcohol they can get, thinking how they can fill in the next questionnaire from local government that wants to give them more money. Not to worry good ol’ Tony, he is OK with a few millions of the old punts behind him, living in the country. Whilst myself and a few millions or so like me, has to find more money to pay for all this complacency. One might think-is that the right word ? Well, Merriam Webster says this: ‘Self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies When it comes to safety, complacency can be dangerous’. And the Cambridge Dictionary this: ‘A feeling of calm satisfaction with your own abilities or situation that prevents you from trying harder. Or trying better! In my opinion the problem all governments in the western world seem to face but particularly so in the UK. So, in the end we have governments that in their ignorance have begun changing the whole social structure of the country they govern. Upending literally the very fabric that made the country exist in the first place. Inclusive all its nuts and bolts, good and bad. That by introducing other cultural inputs in the quantity experienced in Europe as a whole the fabric of society will change with unforeseen or ignored influences. It is time to upend it all and re-visit this in its entirety. What should be obvious at least, is that if it carries on established fabrics will be completely changed and unfortunately not for the better as even cultures fight for supremacy. Do they teach that in Eton? No? Didn’t think so.
