Social and Political

In our lives, we must plot our own course and steer the ship to our future destinations, for our families and ourselves.

In campaigns through the past century, the emphasis of change publicised by opposition parties and movements has been solely directed at government with campaigners and activists airing grievances about underfunding, neglect regeneration and government responsibility. Though in our purpose, funding and regeneration are fundamental elements, our focus is one of broader scope & reach. As a social and political grass roots movement, we have to recognise that the societal and economic decay of the early 21^st century and as a broken society, we must repair communities and improve ourselves if we are to prosper and drive the direction of this oncoming storm.

In our domestic economy with the ensuing plague of Corona virus, we are bearing witness to the destruction of industries in retail and hospitality, as this progresses through 2021, we cannot know the damage to come. Nevertheless, with successive lockdowns we have had time to see that change is coming and that, we must adapt & further our behaviour must evolve with it.

There are many wars that have been fought and that are coming in our lifetime, though not necessarily wars of violence, these will manifest as the race for Artificial Intelligence, the sprint toward completely renewable and Zero Point Energy, a renewed space race with deeper manned space flight and even colonisation & terraforming of the inner system.

However, on a more negative note a potential cold war with China and the nihilistic movement that may reassert itself through the financial support of corporatism sugar coated in the utterance of a naive Utopic philosophy long accepted faulty in design.

Notwithstanding, domestically we will need to properly address the causes of the polarisation of British politics, to reintroduce a centred equilibrium. Further still, confront cancel culture & the never ending classifications of social grouping, that were designed to unravel Western culture and bring a permanent plague of nihilism & chaos, ending society on these shores.

In the coming years Britain will play a not so small role in the development of the former and just as importantly is making strides to realign the geopolitical situation through re-widening global trade in bilateral agreements and a reaffirmation of the Anglo alliance. For the last 20 years, we have been going backwards, through not reading and learning, ignoring history and denying the living memory of our own families, though most importantly a global addiction to a politically infiltrated cancer that is social media.

Since the last economic crash, we have seen a fall in wages, a reduction in jobs, and a further expansion of roles that favour graduates and a continuation of economic migration.

There are major shifts of global economics and politics in the making, how we respond as individuals & as families, can and will influence the future of this nation for the next 50 to 100 years!

32.Gender pay gap

In the last few years there has been a great deal of emphasis on the issue of the gender pay gap, a strange turn of events considering that Boomers and Gen X had been protesting equal pay in the late 1990’s, further, a matter that for many should have been dealt with by now. Despite this, it must be stated that in an ONS report 2019, in the under 40’s the pay gap between men and women was near zero. Notwithstanding, the are a number of issues that are frustrating the data comparison, that are rarely discussed and only scoffed at when they are:

• In the first instance, a factor that has skewed data in determining a gender pay gap is the fact that after giving birth, women will take part time work or time out of the workplace while raising children.
• This inherently has consequence, while women are out of the workplace men continue to contribute in the workplace and gain experience in their career, putting them further along the pay scale when women do return to the workplace.
• Men are still working longer hours than women
• Men choose careers with higher pay scales
• Men take more dangerous jobs and according to the HSE, 23 times likely to die in workplace accidents.
• More men take jobs working outside.
• Many women choose lower paying careers, as an example the NHS is 77% Women, in the field of Psychology 75 – 80% are Women, in Adult Social care Women make up 82%; and Women in Child Social care equate 85% of the workforce.

Further still, Women account for 58 % of practicing vets registered with the RCVS in 2015, this equated to 75% among 26 – 30 age bracket, further according to the Uni guide, women account for 81% of Veterinary Degree places in 2020.

In Education, 69.5% of teachers are women; figures do show that men earn more than women in their career. However, three factors do skew comparisons between male and female salaries:

1. Men will stand for promotion earlier in their career than their Female counterparts.

2. Men are more likely to move to another school for a promotion, where as Women are more likely to wait for promotion at the school they already work.

3. Men are 10% more likely to negotiate for a higher salary in their career than their Female counterparts.

• Finally, Women make up 58% or (3.34million) of unpaid carers.

Within the spheres of the NHS, Psychology and Veterinary medicine, despite many of these requiring highly skilled and academically qualified individuals, these fields dominated by Women do not command the highest salaries.

• Occasionally, though a controversially employed measurement, when calculating the average salary in a city or region, is the use of top earner dataset, these include Directors of Corporations and Proprietors of larger companies. There is no scale to these roles and almost no one will attain these salary levels in their career lifetime. This unethical and misleading dataset is most often applied by radical Feminists to reflect a greater disparity in the gender pay dispute, that is in reality categorically an illusion. Just as when applied to average earning of men and women in general, this will obscure the true poverty of many residents when compared to the cost of living. The use of this dataset in any survey can only ever be applied as a comparison and must stand in its own bracket.

Notwithstanding, only to compound and further confuse the situation, there is another level of disparity in relation to pay equality, that has been indicated as present though not prevalent in the mainstream media. There is reporting dating back five years of pay inequality according to sexual preference, where it has been suggested Gay men are earning more than Heterosexual men; and where Lesbian woman are earning more than Straight women?

Another measurable distinction in our thinking has been where men are willing take the risk of applying for promotion or taking on a role even if not experienced or adequately qualified for a role. Women have traditionally been less confident in taking the same risk; consequentially, there have always been more men in senior roles.

While encouraging women to take careers in the STEM and higher paying fields is a positive step forward, equity promoters are suggesting men should consider looking at roles in social care or become nurses.

Certain equality promoters want more women to move into the fields dominated by men, contrary to media coverage not as many women as expected have been choosing these careers and simply repeat that there is still gender bias in teaching and the media in relation to industries.

Allowing men and women to have the same dreams is a noble aspiration; instead should the goal not be to give men and women the opportunity to actualise their own dreams?

Despite this when men do opt to work in fields such as nursing, they are more likely to choose specialities with higher pay scales and work longer hours.

To accurately, compare the salaries of men and women, you would need to match industry for industry role for role, hours worked and overtime worked to form any kind of a consensus.

When considering the loudest voices for gender pay equality, if so, why is there the sexual preference imbalance?

Furthermore, in this politically driven controversy, what is the ultimate goal?

When considering the prevalence of part time employment, and the differences in our thinking, it is more difficult to accurately chart the deficit when calculating female to male salary ratio’s; nonetheless, it must be iterated as long as the dataset of top earners is applied to the average male lifetime salary calculation, then equality was never the objective!

33.The timeline and the Tangent Universe

If we were to visualise our societal decay in a 1980’s movie about LA School life, this would be a parallel of life in Britain, if we had been without the welfare state; however the social & educational issues are as prevalent and relevant today as they were then. Unfortunately, the welfare state has only seen to mask just how bad the situation has become. In some ways, social decay is far worse than it was then in the US and now in a state of emergency.

The turbulence of the 1970’s would prove very difficult for both Labour and Conservative alike, with high inflation, the signing of the common market agreement; and mass striking, neither party would leave unscathed.

In December 1973, Edward Heath leader of the Conservatives Government would become caught in a pay dispute with NUM, as they did not feel that miner pay was keeping pace with other industries. Consequently, Health took the decision to conserve coal stock, after a failed strike vote, this would always become known as the three-day week; more interesting however, in January 1974, The National Union of Mineworkers overwhelming voted to strike, after the rejection of a 16.5% pay rise?

This would see only essential services, like hospitals being adequately powered through the week, where even the BBC and ITV would close at 10.30 in the evening.

Even so, if the NUH were not satisfied with the proposed increase, would 16.5% not have indicated the Government were prepared to negotiate, retaining the unions’ participation at the negotiation table?

In response, Health would call a general election with the message ‘who governs Britain’ on the premise that the nation would side with the government; a fateful move that saw the formation of a Labour government due to a hung parliament and the Conservatives losing their majority.

Subsequently, Labour would end the pay strike with a 35% increase, only to accept a further pay increase in 1975, from the Coal Board of another 35%?

By 1979, James Callahan’s now leader of the Labour Government would suffer a similar fate, with financial issues facing the nation in 1976, multiple striking by unions ensuing, peaking for this government in 1979, the ‘Winter of discontent’. With public services ceasing, high inflation and rubbish building up in the streets, Parliament passed a vote of no confidence in the Labour government, triggering a General election and the Beginning the Thatcher era.

Nevertheless, contrary to a plethora of articles written by apparently well educated, well informed Project centric, Millennials, France & Germany were not faring better economically than Britain. In 1973, UK GDP growth was 6.5%, France 6.345%, Germany 4.777% and Italy 7.126%; by 1974, this had fallen in the UK to -2.484%, Italy’s GDP -2.09%, Germany dropped to -0.89%, France never dropped below 4.3%.

The Thatcher years were also turbulent with a great deal of change, then eventual growth economically & culturally; however, there is a wide range of opinion about her Premiership, ultimately being vilified by the Union’s, Labour, their supporters and the Left wing for closing the Pits and breaking the unions. If we are to be honest doubtless Margaret Thatcher did close a large number of Pits, to be accurate 160; nonetheless, during Harold Wilson’s Labour Government 1964-70 & 1974-76, they would close 290 Pits. Furthermore, with a decade plus of endless striking over pay issues orchestrated by the unions, this would take its toll even on the public.

Regarding the demise of Margaret Thatcher, this has been subject to speculation, although, there have been a number of recurring themes, that include: the Poll tax, her opposition to the European Monetary Union, Alcoholism; and not making any true effort to start a leadership campaign. In 1987, Mrs Thatcher had already begun to publicly air her views in the press and at conferences of the coming, political alignment with the then EC, expressing that Britain’s future lay outside Europe. Subsequently, when it was proposed that Britain join the European Monetary Union and scrap Sterling, Mrs Thatcher’s opposition was challenged by Chancellor Nigel Lawson and Foreign Secretary Jeffery Howe. Along with others, these would join the Head of the Bank of England Robert Leigh-Pemberton and urged Thatcher to join. However, Mrs Thatcher had already been warned by David Norgrove, her private secretary about these machinations; further to be told by Nigel Lawson now (Sir) that there would not be greater freedom outside the EC.

On the day infamously to be known as Black Wednesday, it had been feared that the ERM that later become the Euro would not survive; nonetheless, on 16^th September 1992, Britain began aligning with ERM, only to be countered by Currency investors pulling their money and George Soros shorting the Pound to make a £1b. Resultantly, Britain would stop pursuing further integration with the mechanism and this would perhaps be the only decision of merit, taken by a British Government, for next 24 years.

Why did investors lose faith with their investments in the Pound?

In regards to George Soros, putting the money to one side, there are no questions to be quantified, proposed, or contemplated!

On 7^th February 1992, the succeeding Conservative Prime Minister John Major, signed the Maastricht Treaty, without consulting the British Public and would be the flashpoint of the tangent universe.

In 1997, with new promises and a new brand, new Labour would win by landslide victory, by this time the Conservative party had been in office for 17yrs and inevitably a spent force.

In the past 6 years, we have seen a shear dichotomy of ideology open between the two main parties that has seen Labour progressively unelectable over five general elections; astonishingly, continuing to brand themselves as the party of the working class.

However, for a great many generational Labour supporters this philosophy parted ways a long time ago, further still, they have completely abandoned their ideology. Now unrecognisable, making them unpalatable to even old socialists in the party, who were opposed to the single market at the outset.

Recently, there have been regular dispersions cast by left wing ideologists that Britain is a right wing nation and further that the Tories had moved even further right also. The reality here is that the Labour party has moved so far left, that the Conservative Party appear to have moved further to the right. Such a revelation would have only seen to support their campaign and swaying voters if this had been true, the issue is that the current generation of left wing supporters have been educated to believe that Politics is a straight line from left to right.

In reality, Politics is circular where extreme philosophies move so far in opposite directions that they meet at the other end.

When you consider the extreme ends, what is difference between Communism and fascism?

A question that has received a heady amount of criticism and offence at the left wing end of the political spectrum on social media and the internet in general; we would challenge you to research and then consider the National Socialist German Workers’ Party?

The Conservative Party is no further right of centre now that it has been in the past 40 years.

The prevailing message, without compromise, Britain has always voted based upon which party has the best ideas that will support the nation or is believed at the time; however, it must be established that Labour and Conservative rarely resonate with equivalency in the hearts & minds of the nations at the same time. In England, voters will elect the party they feel will best support the nation until they no longer serve in the nation’s interest or the other party has better ideas.

Britain, has always voted firmly centre, though often described as Conservative with a small ‘c’, furthermore could only ever be a two party nation, as the Liberals could never get their act together for long enough to develop any kind of significant power base.

To brand the nation as right wing in way that is being insinuated, the British public would have to vote BNP!

The fabric of our society is tethered to conservative foundations, by introducing liberal ideas, this stretches the fabric away from the centre to bring about change and growth in society; without forgetting the ideals of which that society has been built. However, when liberalism is allowed to expand unbridled, will only see to tear the fibres that hold society together until there is no fabric of which to stretch; and the distance travelled, can only be measured by the last point changes were made.

34. The Low pay Low tax Zero investment Paradoxical

Traditionally Britain has been a higher tax nation in comparison with our many of European and Anglo counterparts. In past economies where pay and the cost of living variables were in greater balance, we paid greater tax and as a social democracy, with a stable infrastructure we accepted this. The benefits of this included money available for vital services and investment capital.

Due foreign investment, more people than jobs, lower paying jobs and a significant trade imbalance, then the global crash, we found ourselves in a paradoxical situation. The surplus accumulated in the Treasury before 2008 was spent on going to war in Iraq II, when the crash hit, you would have expected fiscal instruments to be applied, with Government investment to stimulate the domestic economy. What we would see was a number of reductions in income tax and investment in public services slashed, where by 2015, we discover we had been applying the German austerity model? With a lack of disposable income, people did tighten their belts, though this did not stop major Businesses making greater profits than before the crash. More interestingly, keeping wages stagnant and little expansion of jobs, with most major companies being foreign owned, profits were not benefiting this nations economy.

Now, in a low income and lower tax state, with Covid present globally, we find ourselves in a post WW II situation, this Government has promised new infrastructure, though slowed in the current crisis. There will come a point where if we want the quality of life we experienced 25 years ago, with our hard work in restoring affluence to the country, we will need to pay the higher taxes of yesterday, to secure the pride in our NHS, lower crime, better education and better community services lost over the past 15 years. Many left wing groups have reported the global crash as a failure of Capitalism, do not believe it, there are four major factors that lead to this:

1. Britain becoming a part of the EU trading block, make no mistake, despite anti-British propaganda, we created two of the three worlds economic hubs, London and Hong Kong, New York being the other. Further where the basis for how the World trades and many of the bilateral agreements are largely because of the British Empire.
2. Trading with EU, means they can tender for a countries local services, you must pay fees to trade and the trade balance is always weighted in their favour.
3. China was allowed to become the world manufacturer, freezing out India, Pakistan Southeast Asia and anywhere else. Consequently, China is extremely wealthy, with the ability to buy their way into any Country through debt acquisition and investment. Further still, they now have become increasingly aggressive toward their neighbours including India.
4. China has now effectively torn up the one country two system policy created by Britain in 1997, when the lease agreement expired on Hong Kong. Hong Kong as a democracy and the economic hub of the east has now been lost.

Even if you hated Donald Trump as man, he was right that bilateral trade agreements are better for promoting free trade.

However, left-wing groups like to play fast and loose with the terms trading block and group when comparing the EU to the Commonwealth and the TPP.

35. Corporation Britain

When a Company expands so far, they look to buy or merge with rival firms to widen and dominate the marketplace with their products & services, forming corporations and legally acting as a single entity. Once they control a share of the market, they have the power to steer its direction. Notably, there are a number of different forms of Corporatism, that can be traced to the end of the 19^th Century; though, even as far as Ancient Greece there were concepts of Corporatism created by the great philosopher Plato, concepts of which the Romans would adopt. Not unsurprisingly, only Corporatism as instrument of Capitalism is ever mentioned, this shares a comparative with Liberal Conservatism, in that they are diametric opposites.

Capitalism works on the premise that markets are free and open, to encourage and stimulate production, sales & growth to generate profit. Though, in the modern era no market is completely free, governments do maintain some controls and use the instrument like fiscal policy to stimulate growth, in times of deep economic stagnation or decline, otherwise these are self-sustaining systems driven by competition. Ultimately, this driving innovation coupled with mass production to drive competitive pricing.

How do companies create competition, where many of the firms are owned by a small number of Parent groups or Corps, whom control rollout and pricing between them?

China is run by a Communist board of Government and a Capitalist Market system, the Communist Party have members on the Board of Directors of all manufacturers and corporations. Chinese companies operate at the convenience, the control and directly report to their Government; further still, where all manufacturing and private sector firms are run by Corporations & where Technology companies spy globally for China.

If within the concept of the corporate structure, corporations are subordinate to the state, we know that the new adopted culture within our workplaces is not of this nation’s moral consensus. In Britain, the structure of corporations are a little different, in that a huge number of the quintessentially British products, then services, utilities, even football clubs are now foreign owned, this due to more than two decades of uncontrolled foreign investment. With the great leap in Prices of food, clothing, services and then the stagnation of wages and regular redundancies v the companies that made more money since the 2008 crash than before, ask yourself to whom do they answer or affiliate themselves?

With so many of our employers owned by foreign Corporations, they can have little caring for jobs, pay or customer loyalty beyond their own bottom line.

36. The Matrix Reality

We are living in an age where perception is seen as reality, what we read shapes that reality, through social media’s lens is the focal point of someone else’s narrative that becomes our perceptions. For some this perception always aligned with their own, notwithstanding, when your perception is the echo chamber, there needs to be a consensus on whether reality is what has been purported or whether a maliciously placed perception from an agenda of obscured origin.

The issue of misplaced trust in the internet has been omnipotent in colouring the minds of readers globally, with the prevalence of opinion as truth and that otherwise truth is merely subjective or politicised. Even to the openly understood dangers of the echo chamber and clickbait, how can we as reasonably educated or streetwise individuals continue to consume socio-political information of questionable origin without trying to verify from other sources?

With the influence of the echo chamber over the past 15 years or more, there has been a shared consensus that opinion trumps facts over a great many issues and an unfamiliar history of events in our society that have not aligned with the truth.

There is deliberate and clandestine machinery at work within social media and the infiltrated mainstream media in general to convey racism, hate and fear throughout our society. Further, such machinery could have only been created to attract the impressionable and like mind to perpetuate negative attitudes, so to become commonplace in Britain today, never forgetting that the ‘Minority is the Majority’!

Nevertheless, it could reasonably be asserted that the bulk of such explicit behaviour of opinion left and right could feasibly being uttered, within the anonymity of cyberspace by the same people, with the only purpose to engender conformity, though also, confusion and anarchy.

When a group uses a single adjective repeatedly as a derogatory descriptor of another, this becomes them and then they will become excluded from the social debate.

When conducting a broad assessment of public opinion in relation to the internet, many would advocate that this has been a force for good, additionally with younger people stipulating that the world has been better because of the its existence. For many older people the internet has been the ruin of our society, only to be countered by accusations of racism; however, this has become the buzzword for dismissing dissenters in any matter. The internet is now dominated by dangerously emotive, seductive qualities conveying political agenda.

Imagine a sea of people at a masquerade ball, conversations are flowing, some are sharing whispers, then some smile and invite you to join them. While they type, they appear to phase or shimmer, are they men or women, young or old…Are they even human?

In light of the clear and present danger inherent in the internet, we would be suspicious of anyone that would promote this media as a vehicle of free speech without advocating any kind of caution.

37. Equality or Equivalence

In a debate that has endured for millennia, with differing opinion in a multitude of civilisations to equate Male & Female in society. Since the birth of our Generation X, we were educated to value women as equal. Moreover, the first to work under more than one female Manager in our working life; in a comparison between Male & Female Manager’s, good and bad, in truth we do not always, want the same things or think the same way, equivalent or equal is the same!

We are a Yin and Jang of one another existentially inseparable and socially diminished when we are apart.

With the battle of the sexes being raged in every corner of our society, in more than 25 years of observing men and women working & cooperating in the business environment, the perpetual and tedious narrative of ‘which sex is the better’, had already shifted closer to centre by the late 1990’s, when fighting the previous battle for equal pay. The prevailing argument which sex is better is false, it is the suitability of the individual to a role or profession V another individual; further still, there are multiple factors involved in determining this.

38. An engineered phenomena

There are certain institutions that iterate they must not be silenced, when in actuality demand compulsory adherence/orientation. Nevertheless, in any society there are morals of national concurrence that must be adhered to in law, further there are ideologies of varying content that must be for the individual to choose to subscribe.

As we stand in 2021, here in Britain and in US, men are in crisis and this phenomenon has stretched to our family nations of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, though further to our relations in the Irish Republic.

However, comparing the actions and public mission of the organisations riding the Toxic masculinity wave, now synonymous with any male behaviour, it must be questioned the true intentions of such social organisations.

For younger generations the incoherent rearing between parents and or an 80’s wave of feminist indulgent parenting that started in the US, through a lack of authority balance. Then only focusing on daughters, feminising and or belittling sons, consequently leaving ill prepared and inadequate males. Furthermore, children raising children, with a lack of responsibility and not defining parent and children roles; however, it must be expressed girls are no more mature as adults, only filled with a self-serving ideology of a movement that instils a perception of independent purpose.

First there were slights of disapproval, later came the gossip of incompetence in life & the workplace and then we heard the shaming through the perception of Toxic Masculinity.

After that, came the left wing debate of White Male Privilege, now paralleled with the publication and politicised smearing of men as Predators.

Unfortunately, progressive movements to instil purpose and create balanced mature males have been vilified as organisations of misogyny, by the collective social power of radical feminist groups; this forcing a narrative of misandry, with male inadequacy the purpose and the removal of unwanted competition in the workplace.

Though society has progressed along a negative path, there are still many systems available for appropriate male behaviour, with a great many rules that stand. Feminist organisations iterate a great need for the modernisation of male behaviour in the 21^st century; however, the standard of behaviour in many women also needs to change, where the aggressive adolescent male persona is unproductive and unbecoming.

In the west, there has been a shift in the place of ordinary men, with the new workplace culture, where men have experienced greater trouble being hired in the roles they were trained and experienced. Further still, moving goal posts to favour graduates, relationship breakdowns and difficulty in finding relationships. This has only been compounded by the affliction of Job losses, accumulated debt, a lack of social support and negative media; and where men make up as much as 88% of homelessness.

With an ensuing depression rooted in a lack of purpose or direction, a loss or lack of pride and self-respect, moreso, the inability to actuate any self-determination, has left men more risk adverse in many ways; and not unsurprisingly has seen an increased interest in gambling. The damming narrative of white male privilege, with working class men being decidedly unprivileged, now mainstream in the workplace and society, this disparity will only continue in a widen.

In 2019, the suicide rate among men and boys was 16.9 deaths per 100 000 on the same scale, the suicide rate among women and girls was 5.3 deaths per 100 000.

There are not enough decent men to marry, as they are not earning enough nor have the economic stability to be viable and they do not have the same level of education for women to be interested.

In deliberating the factors in the most gruesome subject of Suicide, we must consider the infiltration by a polarised narrative in the Social sciences. Though there is a great deal of research in this area, it is difficult to form any defined consensus in regard to the extent of the current male suicide problem, without knowing the philosophical/political beliefs and motives of the researchers involved in authoring many recent papers.

The state of being a real Man is not measured by conquests, tattoos or the size of our biceps, though it must be iterated that a ‘healthy body’ does contribute to a healthy mind. It is the way we face up our problems, accepting responsibility and dealing with the challenges within and without, self-sacrifice and the defending of others, our very behaviour and the resultant actions moral & forthright, these are the measurements of a Man.

• self-improvement professionally and personally
• advice and support – mentally and even spiritually*
• address fears
• learning
• engaging in competitive sport – channelling aggression, fears and anxieties
• Building self esteem
• improving self-image – through dressing better and more confidently
• regular exercise
• organisation
• Self defence
• Music, Writing and Art

If people currently in crisis, are to survive and prosper, then they will need to learn and find again purpose, meaning & reason in their lives, however, fundamentally seek advice when needed.

39. BME

Although, this is a recent memory, after the death of George Floyd on 25^th May 2020, this instigated rioting in Minneapolis, with a group calling themselves Black Lives Matter that lasted more than a week; and within 3 days, these riots had moved to London. However, unlike in the US where protestors were rioting against the Police and the unlawful death of George Floyd, in London they would deface and try to pull down statues.

In light of the riots of 28^th May 2020, the Home Secretary Priti Patel would brand this as ‘dreadful’, as the damage they caused was wrong and that there were other ways they could have protested. When asked if the Home Secretary would take the knee, she stated that she would not. Nevertheless, 32 Labour MP’s of the BAME community signed a letter condemning her for using her heritage and racism experience, suggesting that she had been Gaslighting ‘the very real racism faced by Black People’. Though further stating that with their shared experience of racism, this allows them to show solidarity towards a common cause and not silence or define others feelings?

Such narratives negate debate or opinion and only function in the realm of moral superiority and moral absolutism.

In a tweet posted by Priti Patel, she would state, “I will not be silenced by @UKLabour MPs who continue to dismiss the contributions of those who don’t conform to their view of how ethnic minorities should behave.”

No one, has the right to trivialise or dismiss the racism experiences of anothers, this simply diminishes the argument and perpetuates the ideological belief that one race is more important than another.

40. Classism

A little understood and rarely contemplated form of discrimination that has been rife in our society since the Norman Invasion, though more suitable in nature is covertly prevalent in many institutions. In contrast to Racism that discriminates against colour and race, Classism is orientated on the premise of affluence, background and education.

However, it must be established that this form of prejudice will be mistaken for Racism, in an investigation to identify a culture of racism within an establishment that is in fact institutionally Classist, would only see a partial confirmation. Moreso, this would be dependent upon the objective of the enquiry, it is paramount that it must be ascertained that the level of disparity and discrimination has grown and changed in the last 20 years. Nevertheless, in the current witch-hunt of so-called anti-racism, that has only seen to obscure the ubiquitous growing poverty in the working class and the growing phenomenon of the underclass that does not discriminate against race, colour or creed, though is branded as racism. How do you protect the most vulnerable in our society with a generation of Social Justice Warriors that are obsessed with colour?

In a politically exploited war between the poor and the rich, the destruction of the Middle Class and the establishment of the Technical class have only widened the level of inequality.

41. Death in police custody

As a comparative, by May 2020, it had become apparent the Covid 19 epidemic was killing people of all races especially those over the age of 60. However, statistics showed that this was disproportionately affecting those of ethnic minorities, where BAME were the first to make it clear that the disease was killing more black people. Notwithstanding, in the UK it would later be indicated that it had been more Bangladeshi’s that were dying, the public did not question why people were dying so much as why particular minorities were more susceptible. We accept that SARS-Covid-19, is of unknown origin and a pneumonia like illness, that is still being researched, where the nature of the disease and contributory factors that lead to death are still to be fully determined. With the prevalence of disease and illness throughout history, further with the state of technology we accept that this can and will happen.

However, if we change the circumstance to deaths in Police custody, as educated people and citizens of the UK, we have some understanding of how arrest and custody works. Since the wrongful death of George Floyd, this has attracted a great deal of emphasis with regard to the number of Black people dying in custody and the disproportionality in the death of this ethnic group.

According to the BBC, from a report published by the IOPC, in the 10 years to 2019, there were 164 deaths in custody, broking these down by ethnicity there were 141 White, 13 Black and 10 for other Minorities. This disproportionality is in relation to 8% of deaths being people of Black ethnicity, in a group that only represents 3% of the population; it must be acknowledged that this does require investigation and to root out racism, corruption & ineffective practices where present.

Nevertheless, it must also be acknowledged the high standards of the British Police in comparison with most of the world.

However, a more obvious question, that must be articulated, why, is it that in this modern age of the world’s oldest Police force, that anyone is dying in Police custody?

42.1 Britain started slavery

There have been recent accusations from the Left of Britain starting the slave trade and further being the largest in the world, what left wing agitators have been referring to specifically is the Transatlantic slave trade. In actuality this was started by the Portuguese, where they were already transporting Slaves by the 1480’s, this would be followed by Spanish(enslaving approx.1m) in the early 16^th Century, then followed by the Dutch(enslaving approx. 550k). The first English slave trader was John Hawkins in 1562, where he began three voyages, selling slaves to St Domingo, followed by a second in 1564 and his final as his third in 1567 would be disastrous.

Between 1553 and 1660, Britain’s trade interests were with indigo, ivory and gold among others not slavery. Notwithstanding, according to the National Archives, Britain did not enter the Slave Trade as a major exporter until the mid-17th century, where Britain (enslaving approx. 3.2m) and the Portuguese would be biggest traders between 1640 and 1807, ultimately, Portugal (enslaving approx. 5.8m) would be largest Trader continuing after our abolition.

However, in order to ascertain a more complete picture, we need to start in the 9^th century when the Moor’s, North African Muslims, Arabs and Semitic Africans all of many nations, would invade southern Europe, these invaders would occupy Italy and what is now, Portugal & Spain, where Christians would be enslaved.

Paramount to the investigation of Britain starting slavery and what actually happened, there are questions that must be addressed, these pertaining to which nations were selling slaves, whom was profiting and with whom gained from this these transactions?

42.2 The Trans Saharan slave trade

This by many accounts started in 7^th century AD, although, according to an international conference organised by UNESCO and the CBAAC, which was to examine the involvement of Arab traders, this ran between 652 and 1960. It is true that by all accounts Arab traders were involved in the buying and selling of African slaves throughout the world, this is not to say that the Arabs were the Global player in the trade of slaves. The Chinese and Indian’s had also been involved in the trade and usage of slaves as a matter of culture.

This was also the case in Africa, further still, we cannot omit the Roman’s, the Greeks, the Persian’s, later Early Islam and then the Ottoman Empire, where slaves were used in occupations as Servants, labourers and Soldiers, though also as part of religious conquest. The complexity of the African trade would require theses for each area involved, of which encompasses the North, West, East, Sub Saharan and are also connected to the Trans Saharan slave trade.

Traders and the rich of all continents either profited or gained from the slavery and the sale of People, where in Africa the objective of Slavery had mostly been attributed to the accumulation of Gold and Ivory. It must iterated however, Arab traders transported between 10 and 18 million slaves, to a small degree these traders enslaved Europeans and further still Africans of many nations have been the market owners and dealers. Nevertheless, if you look up slavery in Africa and you are conditioned through media & education to attribute slavery in Africa solely to Europe or in this case, Britain, it does seem that the internet is predisposed to generating the transatlantic slave trade as the greater number of results, if you had never known, you would have never looked.

42.3 Barbary Pirates

These were essentially north Africans of Morocco Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, with Ottoman’s, so they were the Moor’s seven centuries later. Between the 16^th and 18^th Century over a 250-year period, attacking Italy to as far as the Netherlands, 1,250,000 people were taken into slavery. In Britain, it was documented in Cornwall that in 1640, 2000 – 3000 people had been taken to Algiers, then in 1645, Pirates raided the Coast capturing 240 women, children and men. Parliament would send Edmund Cason to Algiers to negotiate the return of ransomed English captives.

Cason would manage to release 250 captives at £30 per Man, women and children were however, more expensive, then would spend the rest of his life trying to secure the release of another 400. Attacks became so frequent that in 1650, this threatened the Fishing industry, as Fisherman did not want to leave their families unprotected; as a result, Oliver Cromwell decreed that Pirates and Privateers captured would be taken to Bristol and drowned slowly. Further still, despite an attack on their base in Salé the raids continued on Devon, Dorset and Cornwall.

For some of us only few generations ago, our ancestors were indentured workers, slaves and many were in workhouses or destitute until the early 20^th century. African countries are quiet aware of their historic contribution to slavery, individual nations however, still have pride in their nations achievements and history, as slavery is only an aspect of their culture, where ordinary people have not been involved in trafficking.

As British People, we are aware of this country’s contribution to slavery and the history of our own slavery since the Roman occupation, as for many we are aware of other countries contributions, further as the British nation overwhelmingly is represented by the descendants of the poor and the poor of other nations.

We have accepted people of other nations and we have formed unions and many of us are the product of those unions, further not connected with modern Slavery and cannot be made responsible for crimes of the Rich and Elite. Finally, as Britons we have the right to feel pride in our nations achievements and use our history as a compass to guide us through a nations battle of moral philosophy, and as a nation does take pride in making law the abolition of slavery. Crimes of Slavery were committed by all countries and religions, against their enemy, their own and were for the building of Empires or simply for profit. The reality of the African slave trade is that this has endured for millennia and is quiet complicated, Moreso, Slavery is still alive and successful in many African nations today.

There are Political movements exploiting social disparities of inequality as racism, sexism and sexual preference, this is in actuality facets of identity politics. Without a doubt, like in any society there are levels of discriminatory intention/mentality among the population, which must be reiterated exists in members of all ethnic groups, male and female. Notwithstanding, the single most annoying truth that angers, insurgent political agitators, is that Britain has one of the least racist cultures in the western world.

The phenomenon of the underclass is rarely discussed and is endured by Black, White, Asian and all in between alike with the only classes generally classified, the working class, resurgent class, middle class, and the elite, there are others mentioned, though these are the most often categorised. As discussed in other areas these classifications are out of date or irrelevant and upon investigation you would find that the working class only make up 13.5 – 14%, with a little gerrymandering, traditional working class jobs and salaries can be assigned to other class groups, with the fundamental point, these do not emphasise the cost of living in Britain.

However, we can venture deeper into discrimination, the level of inequality are so varied that being over forty is a deep negative in the work place and being overweight. Further, attributing home ownership to a level of affluence, which people of the previous two generations, had bought homes when they were much cheaper and have had to sacrifice through recessions and higher interest rates to maintain their homes.

It is a little difficult to be vigilant of your neighbours’ plight when you have spent 20 years of gradually darker nights in a downward financial spiral, keeping you and family from drowning.

The attribution of home ownership, has for many not increased their personal wealth, when you equate the cost of living, when including job losses, accepting lower paid roles and accumulated debt, while trying to maintain a family. You will find that the political agitators, who do not own homes, are financially more secure or those that do, hold posts that are far above that of the people that they are attacking.

Certainly some of the marginalisation attributed has been engineered by the use of partial minority statistics to emphasise a particular perception and further, omission of information that more widely details social disparity and class.

This is only being inflamed by the notion of white privilege, when more than 60% of population are enjoying a life of micro poverty at one end and the other a state paid existence, much of the middle class lost their affluence and joined the ranks of the working class 10 years ago.

In addition regularly publicised is the matter of health inequality, with differing types of disparity in different areas of the UK, with a lack of services, poor quality services and rank incompetence. This has been a concern for some decades now and is often described as a postcode lottery, though where racial inequalities have been raised will need to addressed and eliminated separately. However, issues pertaining to receiving tests and screenings, drug unavailability or poor quality substitutes, lack of interest in adequate treatment of long-term chronic illnesses. Then fobbed off by health authorities, with holistic treatments, painkillers and antidepressants that will decide the economic status and lives of sufferers.

In a final twist of disparity plaguing us, where people with chronic illnesses and disabilities that have been declared unfit for work by their consultants and professors are then cleared a week after serious surgery or even 6 days after resuscitation from a major heart attack by administrators of an outsourced company. These are also inequalities that do not discriminate, gender, race or class and we cannot solve as individual ethnic groups, only as British People.

43. The death of the middle class

By the mid 1990’s, the middle class had expanded with the growing opulence and most ambitious of the working class, this had been considered a strong indicator of progressive affluence and change. For more than a century, the Labour Party had argued that the upper and middle classes had been profiting through the exploitation of the working class. Decidedly, against the expansion of the middle class, to the dismay of Labour officials and activists, progressively affluent and previously generational Labour supporters, in the Thatcherite and post era were now voting Conservative.

However, by 2015 much of the middle class had disappeared, only to be covertly replaced over time, by a new ‘Technical class’. With job losses, lower paying jobs, crippled with debt, now zero disposable income and the relentless rise in the cost of living, has only seen to re-expand the working class, a more than transparent indication of the decline in affluence and for many a death of self-determination.

Nevertheless, when publicly in the defence of the working class, the Labour party were no longer using the middle class in their derogatory repertoire, now to only use the term ‘the Elite’. A strange turn of phrase considering that in Britain this descriptor was only for the 1% and the aristocracy; and moreso that the Technical class are as elitist as the upper middle class that are still in place.

44. Uniting the people

The 20^th century has seen many cultural developments in fashion and music, especially, since the birth of the teenager in the 1950’s; in the areas of music, film and literature we have been a centre & influencer to other nations on the world stage.

However, in relation to fashion, clothing styles for men have changed little since 1998, with skinny and poorly cut then progressively skinner the only alternative, though perhaps soon even ‘spray on’. This a very clear indication of fashions cynical cost cutting attitude towards men, though also a sizest attitude restricting larger people from buying clothing without having to pay even higher prices for big and tall man products.

This has led to progressively less and less choice in clothing establishments over the past 15 years and a perpetual expansion of women fashion.

At no time has there been so little interest in men’s clothing, coupled with the pervasive narrative that men do not spend as much as women, it is true men have never spent quite as much as women, this simply will not wash. Nonetheless, the low quality ragbag casual and ill-fitting business ware on sale at unreasonable prices, does little to inspire men to part with their money, crucially does nothing to instil a sense of pride and self-expression for men in the way fashion does for women. Furthermore, this fashion for men that was of better quality from the market stalls in the 1980’s has, just relegates a great many men of all ages to that of second-class citizens.

Unlike today’s fashion, had been an association of choice, though now with little other than the indoctrinated activism of another’s narrative, only available to young people. This has done nothing encourage individual self-expressionism or independent thought, men will need to find a new/old smarter fashion to inspire and express themselves, looking back as far the 1950’s and 1960’s despite great social change with explosions of colour, culture, fashion and music were a fundamental part of the growth and survival of our nation.

However, despite the social decay through endless striking and the war of wages in the 1970’s, continuing into the 80’s, there was still evolving culture prior to the millennium.

Until, the world of fashion decides men are still a lucrative commodity and not potentially, a political and social pariah in their market, Men will have to look to history for their self-image; and further still, people will have to make their own choices to forge their own artistic culture again. What is clear is the engineered, polarising expectation of social grouping has not manifest as intended.

National identity in European states receives little coverage, this is either ignored or often simply described as populism, the issue of national pride and national identity has become a contentious argument. In Britain, liberalists vilify national pride and identity as Alt-right ideology, synonymous with fascism and racist thinkers. Simply as a comparison, for those that are not aware of the extent of nationalism in Europe, we would challenge you to explore the dissident counterbalance to EU fiat. Nonetheless, the politics of Germany are quite complicated where centred reformist citizens are making choices on a wide political spectrum, are fighting a battle against the EU branding of right wing, while ever vigilant of the potential echoes of dark days.

When deliberating a rationale for Nationalism is this simply the pride in the history of a people’s achievements and culture, or does this, illustrate Social regimentation, Autocracy and the forced suppression of competing ideologies or any kind of dissension. Having said that, does the later not sound familiar?

Since the formation of the European Union in 1992, there has been no unifying culture only a cult of Eurocentrism, a divided (unifying theory) culture that has overly focused and politicised the group identity of race, gender, and sexual preference. Previously such culture or (Tribalism) evolved more broadly around national identity with music, class, geography, religion, race, fashion and history, or a mixture or all of the above.

Notwithstanding, the group identity narrative by its very nature can and has only divided people, with an unparalleled level of suspicion and mistrust that has never been seen, and further exploitation of the situation by some, in less than a generation has torn this country apart.

However, a question that does need to be contemplated, is group identity through Europeanism/European unionism not simply nationalism by another name?

45. Free school meals

This issue has been documented for many years and those children not eating during the day, has shown impaired learning among the poorest pupils, although, it must be articulated that since lockdown, this situation has illustrated the prevalence of debt and low-income families struggling in the UK. Nonetheless, it is not just malnutrition that is being reported, it is a lack of clothing or appropriate clothing like coats and shoes, this suggesting a level of poverty that we have not seen since the 1970’s?

Children eating at school would go a long way to support two major issues, firstly this would support the progression of child learning from poor backgrounds and putting the effected back on track, that will likely worsen and secondly, would help alleviate some of the strain on household incomes. Further still, with the potential mass unemployment not seen in many years, this will be one of the most simple strategies as a measure to support tackling the malnutrition and poverty issues tearing through society right now in the short term.

We will need to stem the systemic growing phenomenon of the underclass, which should not exist in the world’s 5^th largest economy; nevertheless, this is a symptom of a wider issue of disparity being experienced throughout the United Kingdom.

46. A Parental Crusade

Addressing the very real issue of the Sexification of children, this has been a contentious argument of parents for some 30 years that is a morally bankrupt practice in the name of profit, with a fear of children attracting the wrong attention. Parents were keeping children as children for as long as a possible, nevertheless, with sex education starting at the age of six, and an inadequate & inappropriate curriculum at this age, is a strong factor in premature advancement in maturity of children. In reality children are inquisitive and parents do have concerns in how to answer these questions, however, there have always been age specific narratives for parents to use as tools to explain to young children the ‘birds and the bees’.

Notwithstanding many parents seem to be unaware of these or are compelled to be driven by quasi-social pop psychology liberalist narratives.

• Smartphones/Social media – the ubiquitous and pervasiveness of the smart phone has allowed children access to material and other children/users of questionable authenticity, engaging in conversation beyond the maturity level of many users. This has been without the knowledge or the ability of many parents control, children are being exposed to themes of an adult nature or not uncommonly far worse, grooming and still, though, more rare children’s misplaced trust resulting in their death.

• Fashion – It has been publicised that children have been asked whether they want to be fashionable and wear clothing like adult, this has seen to promote adolescence prematurely, though worse this has put children further on the radar of paedophiles.

• Music – decades of kids and young groups singing songs about love and relationships that are aimed at young audiences that have no reason to be contemplating complexities evolving around romance, that they do not have the emotional maturity to process.

• Politics – drawing younger and younger children into the environmental and future generation’s debate, where children have been given control and freedoms over their lives, that are for parents make and children to experience and learn. The point is to teach children vital lessons of decision-making, responsibility and then dealing with consequence at an appropriate speed of their age and then maturity.

Despite the concerns and resultant campaigning by parents over the past few decades, all of the above factors have contribute to the premature adolescence of our children that has consequentially given rise to the immature behaviours prevalent in the adults of recent generations.

47. Objectification

The objectification of Women has been vilified regularly, by Women’s Groups for some time now, however women believe it to be acceptable to objectify Men and further, has seen no opposition by the same Groups? You cannot have this both ways!

48. Responsibility

The last two generation, have been educated the abdication of any responsibility for any actions, where the consequences become someone else’s responsibility and the actions of these generations have been defended or dismissed as unimportant by political groups, absolving any ensuant consequence. The education system must be held to account for relinquishing their responsibility as educators, further where the liberal doctrine of many parents’ has created a lack of empathy that has supported the unravelling of western society.

49. Sex and Education

In light of the societal issues relating to sexual violence, socio-political institutions have been demanding a change in male behaviour, in addition to Sexual studies discussed in education, this must be appropriately addressed with balance. Notwithstanding, these supplemental topics cannot be taught in a single year and must be aligned with age as teaching by rote may not be enough and maturity in comprehension when imparting sex education as a whole. This will require two or three years of rote to sufficiently fill the gaps, of what is now required and in what has been an inadequately designed curriculum, as this must now contain, the Social, Moral, Psychological and Practical aspects.

The current narrative of teach your young sons’ ‘don’t rape’ women’ is an unproductive and a frankly perplexingly complex conversation, for parents, with negative connotations. Where teaching your sons to respect women is a better lesson.

In support of continuing positive change, establishment of a government website and freely available information in schools of moral and appropriate behaviours in these situations with the nations moral code, for young people to read. Further still, this should include information for parents as a helpful guide, with references and links in raising children, also displaying the danger of accessible porn and its detrimental effects on inexperienced and immature minds, with support on the dangers of social media and safe guards for parent’s protections. However, this must be a literature of social relevance and not the work of political narrative. Although, sites like ‘internet matters’ have situated themselves to serve this need, the issue is far wider and will need to include adults as are now vulnerable to much of the internet’s content as previously illustrated, for their families and themselves.

It has been of questionable morality where over the past two decades social that are now political organisations have seen to dictate the place of men and women in relationships, as People find their own equilibrium and what makes any particular relationship work almost intangible to another. In truth, if both parties of adult consent, needs are being nurtured with safety and happiness then it is not for others to judge or dictate. However, it is not to say that there should not be syllabus for a minimum standard of moral and acceptable/appropriate behaviour in relationships for the novice.

• The teaching of feminism is inappropriate in sex education and only a reinforcement of equality and equivalence of men and women can be allowed.
• A balance of teaching the aspects of misandry and misogyny, what constitutes these and what does not
• The dangers of porn for the inexperienced and the unrealistic perception its convey about relationships
• The negatives consequences of social media and myths conveyed within the echo chamber
• The fashion industries publicised narrative of image expectations and truth of self-image.
• Genuine discussion of appropriate and inappropriate behaviours of sexual advancement & interaction

50. Sexual Violence

Rape culture has been described as prevalent in British society, though it must be understood that this is a multidimensional issue, now plaguing our society and must be broken down into distinctive intersecting and separate issues:

• Social media’s impact on the prevalence of rape,
• the act of Rape,
• Political exploitation,
• The perception of fear being conveyed v the actual societal risk.

The dangers of Social Media, with malicious and very apparent narratives portrayed throughout the internet. Scepticism and cross-referencing of violent and even political information of antiestablishmentarian are valuable tools. In truth, we cannot know the true motives of characters adding information to the internet or of its origin, so we cannot take anything for granted especially in light of the current political spectrum.

Is the fear of the potential danger greater than the danger itself and in that is danger now far greater because the perception fear insinuates? Even the strongest of minds can be brought down by fear.

Once the mind is convinced that there is danger, real or not that danger exists and fear ensues, nevertheless, when there is measurable danger, even small, if our perception is negatively adjusted then fear will override higher reasoning and the fight or flight instinct can hold us hostage, negating the hope of debate without embedded preconception. With more than 45% of the British population deriving their news from social media, unequivocally has related many having exactly the same opinion with regard to the same issues. However, with the prevalence of deceptive behaviour and false identity in the echo chamber, there does need to be healthy scepticism and cross-referencing information of such sensitive and important issues?

In light of vocalised fears and observed behaviours of women, as a direct response to the prevalence of sexual violence over the past 5 years, especially in respect of ‘Me Too’ and Feminist groups, there needs to be studies into the relationship between individual perceptions of safety and where, they take their news. Further still, there will need to be a study into the authenticity and the prevalence of such information unmonitored and unquestioned. Unfortunately, as with men under 35, it would be near impossible for women in the same age bracket to detach their perception of society with that of the internet, where social media paralleled society almost their entire lives.

More alarmingly, has been the speculation in the levels under reporting of rape incidents over many years, although the most prevalent explanation has been that women experienced a system of what perhaps could be described as ’institutional doubt’ when reporting incidents to the police. Consequentially, these issues have been used by some organisations as political capital when this is a Social and Criminal matter and has only seen to increase levels of fear.

• There will need to be a serious independent investigation into information conveyed through the internet and in relation to how this reflects in the feelings of women, with regard to their safety.
• An investigation into how social media and women’s current fear of sexual violence is affecting their mental health.
• There will to be a further investigation conducted into the prevalence of sexual violence reports conveyed through social media and whether is a reasonable representation of the current situation in our society.

In a Circle of whispers, brings personal validation, a shared belief, and a resultant truth when the perception becomes the reality. The more blinded in ensuant chaos, consequential fear and misery prevails.

51. Lack of police

Over time as a nation’s police force is depleted, the criminal minded, the reluctant and the opportunists will find greater confidence in committing crimes, still maintaining a level of anonymity. In a survey of police officer figures across Europe from an EU report with Eurostat and statistics from the ONS, as an average figure in 2016, there were 316 police per 100,000 as average across the EU.

However, Cyprus a nation of 876,000 had 573 police per 100,000 people, in England and Wales this was 223, Scotland 318 and N. Ireland 362. Nevertheless, it must be declared that Prime Minster Boris Johnson has promised 20,000 new police officers and since 2020, we have seen an increase in police staffing levels, though it must be iterated that this by many may be less than required.

We would suggest that in light of the malaise of issues currently being suffered in this nation, that this quota of 20,000, should be revisited at the end of 2021 and 2022. In a nation with widest population spectrum and most densely populated, further still, with the second largest population in Western Europe, this nations’ policing levels equate with some of the small populations in the Western World.

Notwithstanding, a top down investigation will need to conducted into police corruption, racism and redundant unproductive practices, if we are to address the burning issues currently at the front line of socio politics. This more easily attracting people of all races to create sustainable personnel levels reflecting inclusive British representation, that have been marred by negative cultural feeling.

52. Institutional doubt

As previously iterated, the most prevalent message that has been aired by rape victims has been a reluctance to report incidents, as they have felt not believed and or the matter has gone unreported by police, leading potentially to repeat offences by assailants and then only identified some time later or even never. The invariable consequence of this behaviour has led to melange of malignant social issues that are tearing our society apart. This situation must be changed, it is obvious that the current system of reporting is not fit for purpose and the matter will require immediate action, where all incidents must recorded and instigates an appropriate balance of initial investigation.

In order to thwart the crime of rape, those found guilty by legal judgement must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

• Though the government has instituted changes in light of recent increase in murders of women due to domestic violence, feminists feel that the new laws do not go far enough in tackling this cancer on society, notwithstanding there needs to be constructive discussion without misconception, between male and female organisations & the Government to determine how to end such malignant behaviours.

• An investigation into the echo chambers effect on society in relation to sexual violence

For many of us the teaching of our parents was that we were to respect women and we should not be violent toward them. Despite this, radical feminists made public statements that they did not need men or their help and then chivalry was branded as Misogyny, where simply holding a door for women, even with their hands full, resulted in verbal scoldings.

However, with the vilification of all men as either perpetrators or complicit in the matter, has only seen to elevate fears and resentment, that so far have done little to stop the plague of incidence. Consequently, good men backed away and stopped supporting women, now in the current situation, feminists are telling Men to step up and start calling out immoral male behaviours? It is paramount that as men we resume our role as a matter of moral conscience for the welfare of our families and female friends. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Each day, we make complicated decisions upon the choices presented in our lives, even with the information available and against our own intuition regardless, we sometimes take decisions that involve unacceptable risks and we must accept our responsibilities.

If we are to fix our society’s problems created from within and without, there are many aspects making up that society that will need to be addressed and debated and progressively/regressively repaired. Unfortunately, with the damage done, there can be no quick solution especially in light of insurgent political oppositionists, happy and supportive of the narrative direction this country is being dragged in.
