Promoting “Western Democracy” has become embarrassing since that process produced George Bush and Tony Blair (followed by the Unspeakable Rictus, Gordon Brown) as the best it could offer in the way of leadership. Bush turned out to be a grinning puppet with strings attached to a group of selt-serving megalomaniacs, while Blair has been responsible for launching a swarm of locusts, posing as MPs, that have been happily despoiling the British economy for eleven years. Every indication suggests that “the Rictus” will prove even more noxious.

Living under “Western Democracy” has  consequently  become most unsatisfactory, as the public becomes more and more aware of the horrors which the system, in its present form, is capable of serving up.

In the world of the motorcar, models with serious faults are recalled by their makers and the public is warned not to drive them until the faults have been rectified.The same system of recall and warning is normal in the case of  foodstuffs  that are likely to poison those who eat them, and aeroplanes that have a propensity towards crashing.

 No motorcar manufacturer, no chain of supermarkets, no aeronautical giant has done so much damage to so many people in so short a time as has been achieved by “Western Democracy”.  So far, however,  there has been no announcement that an overhaul is to be undertaken, to identify faults and improve performance. 

Bit odd, wouldn’t you say? It suggests that by and large the great majority are content. Can that be true? If it is, we deserve everything that the grinning puppets and the locusts throw at us.
