No Jobs For The Masses In The New Economy Despite University Education
No matter how leaders like David Cameron and Barack Obama try to talk up their economies or assure voters the jobs market is improving, growth returning and unemployment will soon start falling, the truth is change does not equal progress and forcing the pace of social change has only masked the true depth of economic and social problems. One of these is unemployment and particularly joblessness among the young. Even a universdity education does not provide a guaranteed career path ... Education

Well OK we know the great peacemaker hopes a middle east war will save his Presidency as Iraq saved Bush's but just as more than half of Libyans supported Gadaffi so, according to polls conducted by western firms, more than half of all Syrians support Assad.

It is a characteristic of the era in which we live that the assaults of the collectivist, authoritarian left on the traditional value that hold nations buit on the Graeco Roman culture together has created identity politics, one of the most destructive trends of the past half century.

The Human Cost Of Our Cheap Fashions
In the west we have lived the good life for many years, taking for granted the cheap clothes and low cost consumer goods we inmport from the poor nations of the third world. There is a hidden human cost of our comforable lifestyles however. Third World workers, clothing workers in particular, are employed under conditions that amount to slavery in everytthing but name. Even so the hand wringing, tree hiuggers of the progressive left are happy to enjoy what's provided by the hardship of those wage-slave workers while lecturing less idealistic people about the evils of Europe's slave trade which ended 200 years ago.

Orthodoxy by Stealth.
It is a universal truth that a dumbed down, unthinking population would made life much easier for an authoritaian, control freak government to exercise the kind of bureaucratic control over people and businesses they so desire. But in a democracy voters would not stand for such a thing, would they? Probably not, which is why controls and enforced uniformity are being introduced by stealth.

Equalities Bill Discriminates Against Everybody Equally
The Equalities Bill, passed by the previous Labour government before they were ejected from power becomes law today. This farrago is typical of the imbecilic mindset of the self righteous hypocrites who style themselves the progressive left. Presented as a law in support of equality in the workplace , in this era of pandemic joblessness and perpetual financial crisis it is nothing but an attack on the businesses that provide the real, wealth producing, revenue generating jobs in the private sector.
Gay Rights Groups Single Sex Marriage Obsession Points To Constitutional Crisis In U.S.A.
When an appeal court Judge who also happens to be a gay activist overturned a democratically approved law banning same sex marriage in the U.S. State of California it was hailed as a victory for gay rights and a defeat for religious prejudice. That may be so, but it is also a defeat for democracy, justice and sanity.

Selection By Stealth Or Simple Common Sense by Xavier Connolly.
The comprehensive education system has become one of the sacred cows of the "progressive left" in spite of its very obvious failure. The old Grammar School system only segregated on grounds of intelligence whereas the system now with its postcode lottery and the growth of private schools for the rich segregates on grounds of parental wealth, social class and geogrphic location. Intelligence does not enter the equation. So the selective way was more egalitarian, what are the leftie whiners on about.

Oh Brave New World
In common with Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four, forever imprinted on the minds of my generation because of the cover image of a military boot grinding on a human face, Brave New World was a book that changed the way we viewed the world we lived in. In many ways it inspired aspects of the social revolution of the 1960s as people shrugged off the social controls that had imposed such restrictive conventions on western society.

FILTH! The Mary Whitehouse Effect

Populist Authoritarianism
The Labour Party may talk of socialism but their Nanny State tyle of ovrbearing governmental control freakery rather than protecting the weak according to the political philosophy of John Locke seeks to suppress individualism and impose uniformity by spreading fear and panic. This approach achieves equality by making all weak and dependent. Unfortunately it debilitates the nation.

The Unhappiest Children In The World
According to scientists (and we should not believe everything scientists tell us) britain and the USA, two of the most materially wealthy nations in the world, have the unhappiest children. While reserving a little scepticism for such claims we ought to be concerned. Why are our nations with all the material benefits they can provide such lousy places to loive in general terms. It is not just children, we also have high rates of stress related didease, mntal illness, drug and alcohol abouse, all the signs in fact that people are struggling to cope with life.

Has technology in general and the internet in particular delivered on its promise? Have the innovations had any real value in improving the societies we live in? Take for example the Google search engine which, it is claimed, offered "a new way of managing information." In fact what Google offered was a way of not managing the vast quantity of information available on the internet. And what is the "content" Google places on top of the pile.? That which earns the company most revenue of course.

I Don't Want To Eat Clone, Leave My Steak Alone
In The Future how will we produce the food we eat? Science promises much but the scientists find it is easier to make promises than to deliver. One of the technologies to be bigged up over the past few years is the cloning of farm livestock. But is there any foundation for the claims that animals created in the laboratory will offer any economic or practical advantage over the conventional way of breeding involving a male and a female. This analysis of the economics and ethics suggests the "Frankenstein" science while not to be feared has little to offer in terms of financial and practical benefits. So what are the scientists up to, has their experiment failed or are they simply misrepresenting the benefits in order to blag research grants?

The Flame Still Burns

250 years after his death Robert Burns remains one of the most popular poets in the world. What is the secret of Burns popularity when modern poets are sneered at, ridiculed and ignored. Appreciation of poetry is a very personal thing but the poems of Burns seem to transcend fads and fashions? Is it because his verse, written in the Scottish dialect of his time, speaks directly to the feelings and emotions of ordinary people. Burns was one of them, understood their lives and spoke directly to them in each poem.

Get On Board The Athest Bus

A campaign by british atheists to raise money for a campaign to advertise atheism caused some guffaws, particularly from the non-evangelical wing of the British atheist community. Ad vertising the non - existence of God has about as much relevance as advertising that all soap powders are pretty much the same or that self control is a batter way to keep your weight stable than miracle weight loss products. If people believe in God they will just react scornfully. If they don't believe in God why spend money telling them he/ she/ it does not exist. And if they could not give a flying fuck either way....... well they couldn't give a fuck either way.

Devaluation By Degrees

A Degree used to be epitome of higher education, the indicator of academic excellence rather than vocational skills. With the proliferation of Universities and the Pick - And - Mix nature of many degree courses, this article asks if the University Degree is being devalued and the university courses downgraded to mere further education as the divinding line between academic degree and vocational diploma becomes more blurred. Is this doing a disservice to everybody involved?

Age: The New Apartheid

Is something sinister going on in our western societies. Whiles races are integrating people seem to have become segregated by age. In an era that sees people living and staying active longer than any previous generation it is bizarre that we throw older generations on the scrapheap earlier than ever before. Are the young really turning away from parents and grandparents in an evolutionary quirk or is there something more sinister behind the trends. We don't have to dig very deep to see that the culprits are those intellectual fascists who spend their lives in Universities dearming up insane theories about how societies should manage themselves but seldom come into contact with reality.
