Is Britain a petri dish for modern herd management?

www.telegraph.co.uk... onald.html

450 years ago our small, sea-locked geographical position on the face of this planet provided the sovereign state with an unequalled advantage when it came to the expansion of empire. Don't get me wrong; I don't have a nationalist bone in my body. In fact I'm ashamed of my country. Most flag waving is perpetrated by inbred, neanderthal, knuckle-dragging thugs whenever a 'significant' soccer match is due. Disgusting.

It is painfully apparent that, in the endeavour to dumbdown, poison, misinform, disenfranchise, whitch-hunt & generally infuse people with a sense of Catholic guilt, the powers that be have the perfect petri dish in Britain.

And it's always 'out-going' ministers, secrataries or judiciary that admit the obvious. You can hear their echoes down the corridor as they're escorted off the premises by security.

English party politics is archaic & obsolete. We need parliament in-the-round.

No the link does not work...

But as we've talked so often before, we've got to be an experiment of herd management.

Look at smoking. Like we've always said before - make a populace give up smoking and you'll make the give up anything...

... and at the very least they can analyze the results.

Like Rockerfella and China.

Linkie not working, all I got was the Telegraphs '404 You are lost' page and I thought " Yep , we probably are".

As I live in the UK ( London ) all I can say to the theory that the UK is a petri dish for herd management is " Baaabaaaa".

To look at herd management in the UK just go to Waterloo station, I used to travel through there a few years ago (before commuting my bike) and " I have to keep reminding myself to quote " I am not a number , I am a free man", just watching all the people shuffling along make me smile as I thundered my way through them. They were AND STILL ARE sheep.

We seem to be obsessed with rules in this country, If people give us rule we cant wait to take it up. Smoking is a great example. there is nothing better than going to one of our fellow EU states such as Italy and Spain, where although they still have the smoking ban, nowhere really enforces it. Not like in this country, we sit back and watch the Pub industry collapse on its arse for fear of sparking up in our local.

You think the Spanish worry about smoking in their bars and clubs for fear the local health and safety jobsworth to come and close the establishment.
