Corrupt Britain

09/07/2011 by admin.

Hi, here we are again, in a sleazy turmoil. Of course I mean the recent hacking scandal. After sleazy banks and sleazy MP’s, we now have a treble dose of sleaze - sleazy press, sleazy police and, once again, sleazy MP’s. Also to top it off we now have yet another sleazy Prime Minister.

In any business there is a need to stay ahead of the competition and you can do this legally and fairly, or illegally and by cheating. Phone hacking has given certain newspapers the edge regarding their competition. That competition also includes online news companies. Falling sales of high street newspapers signifies that there is a war going on in the news print industry. The saying that “anything’s fair in love and war” seems to have been taken to heart.

I really wish people would stop buying papers like the News of the World, but this society of Hero Worship needs to be fed. A couple of years ago some primary school children were asked what was the biggest thing that worried them about their parents. The children unanimously said that their parents preoccupation with celebrity status.

There have always been people in the past that have shined for all sorts of reasons and they rightly go down in history and are much talked about for doing amazing things, right or wrong. But the stars of today seem to be shallow and squalid and overpaid and they seem to be everywhere. On every TV channel, levering their way into every form of media they can.

We have a wonderful country, a green and pleasant land, but certain greedy people are screwing with it all.
