Editorial England today woke up to the reality of economic depression engulfing much of the world with the first signs that protests will be something common place with the scenes being broadcast from the Total refineries in the north of England.
It has been a byword in Europe that the English are a placid conservative race, who on the whole show signs of apathy and refuse to demonstrate. You remove someone’s livelihood, savings, home and recruit foreign labour then all of the above characteristics change 360 degrees.
In Greece, Spain and France the populations have held mass rallies against the failed economic policies of the European Union and the respective governments in those countries. Only yesterday on a BBC London phone in a caller in effect said "recession what recession? I'm alright mate I don't really care I am off to Thailand this year". The caller was immediately corrected by a succession of other callers questioning what planet he was on.
This once proud nation must start beginning to reclaim its destiny, and the population must start to engage in the political process and understand the damage the Labour government has inflicted on the everyday man.
Anger should not be directed at the migrant labour force that has come to fill jobs that indigenous Londoners do not want. Anger must be directed at the government for making it easier to abuse the welfare system and has encouraged a sub-culture of lazy English men and women to develop. People born and raised in this country must try and fill the vacancies and eliminate the need to employ "foreign labour". Its time people started getting angry with the state of the nation, we need fundamental changes in the political and economic system that properly represent the demands of its peoples.
