Brown's Film Festival
« on: March 30, 2010, 12:56:36 PM »
It was interesting to see the selection, bringing the best that Great Britain can offer.

* A youth with gunshot wounds to his head

* Masked youths showing off loaded shotguns, handguns and ammunition

* Yobs riding motorbikes dangerously and at speed on residential roads

* Youths wheelspinning cars on busy roads

* Speeding cars being pursued by police vans and the police helicopter

* Pit bull terriers being set on people

* Innocent passers-by being filmed as they are attacked in the street

* Dogs fighting

Coming Soon to a street near you. This is a real list.

A Brown Production.

'This was the right thing to do'

In production now:

* Gangs running amok hunting their quarry to the death

John you missed more out  than you listed, I would add to it , but I don't want to spend eternity (for the list is infinite) typing, I spent most of my working life doing just that.

As I have said a squillion times before.....

These things have been happening for eons and no political party have done anything about them, never mind this one.

If The Tories get in - God forbid - I hope I am here in another ten years to tell you "I told you so" when you - or anybody else - start to whine about what they have got wrong in their latest attempt at government.

It might be worth remembering how the electorate might have felt about the Tories when they elected Blair and his New-Labour cronies by massive landslides at his first and second attempts.
Regards....

Papaumau.

Is this your frightened the Tories may get in campaign.

Violence and Gangs have never been at the scale it is now on UK Streets.

This government are not addressing it - so any replacement must be given the opportunity to do.

The New Labour, New Danger came true.

I hope you are here in 10 years to say 'I told you so'.

But against a background of accelerating degeneration influenced by this governments ineptitude.

Putting the brakes on is not going to be easy or show immediate result.

John.....

Don't believe everything that you read in the papers as they just love to report the bad stuff and feel that the good stuff is not newsworthy.

This situation has been going on now for many many years and even although the media will not support the fact it has not got any worse in recent times.

We just know more about it and we now get the bad news much more readily and more quickly than we used to !

Papaumau

How do you make goodstuff out of matters taking place daily.

Great Britain never used to be like this at the height of any previous disorder.

As previously stated there is not a quick bout of fisticuffs - fighting is now to the death.

This government say nothing. I realise thy are saying much in their playhouse in Scotland

and I hope the novelty does not wear off too quickly.

I re-iterate....The newsmedia blind us with stories about this one getting stabbed or mugged and that one getting murdered and it does not take us long to think that that is the way it is for all of the country - all of the time.

Yes, these crimes DO happen but I am suggesting that they do not happen any more than they used to and that we are just more easily targetted by these news-hounds as they use all of the modern techniques available to them that were not available not so long ago.

What is chucked at us by the media is mentally ingested by us and stored for easy retrieval as once learned this stuff can not be unlearned.

I am just suggesting that we should be a bit more discerning in what we accept from these news-media companies as all they are doing by capturing our imagination is flogging a product.

We DON'T HAVE TO buy it !

No more than they used to?

News gathering has changed.

But a murder was always reported on and it was always front page news.

Now it is just another everyday story.

Of course it does Papaumau

The reason it does is because that is the way it is.

The UK has developed a violence in the last decade that I have never seen before.

Under this government:

The Justice System has failed to get a grip

The UK Police Service has failed to get a grip

All this government have done is set stupid meaningless targets.

John......

During my sixty-odd years on this mortal coil I have professionally and privately studied human behaviour and I can tell you that humans were just as capable of the same evil things a hundred years ago or more as they are today.

The human animal has NOT changed in all of those years and I will go even further and say that since we came down out of the trees we have become THE most cruel and nasty of the animals on this planet.

What we have that none of the other intelligent animals have is SENTIENCE where what we do is done as a result of conscious thought and not just out of habit or because of some survival instinct.

Homo Sapiens - as we are called - have been on this earth in this form for close on 230,000 years and while that is just a blink in the space-time continuum, in this short period we have become THE most dangerous creature on this earth.

In that 230,000 years we have not changed one iota and I guess that until we evolve - eventually - into the genus Homo-Superior we will just keep on doing those evil things to one-another as we always have.

Just out of interest, see this: http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?historyid=ab12

What has changed or at least come to the fore is learnt behaviour.

The  mob has been allowed to reform, now called gangs.

The need to hunt and kill has been suppressed and now
it is the human being that turns this on their fellow human being.

Look at the effort put into the environment of captive and restricted wild animals.

Discounting Scotland which has great land mass per capita. Very
little is done in England.

This is a cram them in Country - until the populous loose all patience and hope.

Yes Brown has greatly assisted this - but knows he can easily escape to Scotland come what may.

This is one of the reasons that any reasonable and thinking English person
wants rid of him. It is not hate but survival.

But what I am trying  - unsuccessfully it would seem  - to say, is that those instincts have always been there and humans have always formed up in gangs for strength.

There has always been the strong overcoming the weak syndrome and even if we are supposed to be humane creatures humanity seldom comes into play these days and never did.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with nationality as the human condition crosses all national boundaries and appears anywhere it needs to.

I WILL agree that where people are crushed together we are bound to get ghettoism and the gathering together of specific cultures and races as a form of protectionism. This syndrome is not specific to England as we see it in Scotland Ireland and Wales too even if it happens in smaller scales in these less-populous countries.

I think that all of the political parties now agree that immigration in Britain has reached a hiatus and all of these parties are now saying that controls need to be put in place.

Our greatest problem here is not Brown and Labour but it is the European Council, ( EC ), that introduced the "open borders" policy that allows all citizens of greater Europe to move freely across all borders.

I realise we agree on the basics.

The problem with relying on instinct as we know it - is that
there is such a mixture of people within our society, add
to that care (dumped) in the community.

You have a monster of non predictability.
