Our Society Is Fooked!

I've just read this article that states that lie detecting software is going to be used by Jobcentres to ascertain if benefit claimants are lying about their claims.

Benefit fraud costs the UK 700 Million pounds a year.

All well and good I hear you say, and on the surface most people would tend to agree with you, but let me give you another piece of information connected with this story and then see if you feel the same.

More than £7 billion goes unclaimed each year in benefits and grants available to families and the elderly. Many people do not realise, for example, that tax credits are available to households with incomes of up £66,000.

So, the government sees fit to employ invasive software at an undisclosed cost to try and recoup the £700 million lost each year to fraudsters, which is 10% of the value of unclaimed benefits which REMAIN unclaimed because of untrained staff and unnecessary bureaucracy.

What the fook is going on with this country?

When was this little 'idea' put to the vote? Did YOU know this was being planned? Our government is making decisions for YOU that go against everything that stands for privacy, freedom of speech and civil liberty.

For fooks sake, do me a favour? Next time there is a local or general election, make the effort and try and find out what their ideas and their policys are before you dutifully put your little 'X' in the usual slot!

And if you don't vote, why the fook not? If you don't vote, you just show your apathy and willingness to let government (which DOESN'T mean "Better Than You"!) walk all over you and make decisions on your behalf that you personally don't agree with!

This country is going down the toilet, but what makes it even worse is the fact that the majority of you just sit back and let it happen! You are content to be "sheeple" and dutifully go to work, come home and close your door on the world.

As long as you have your big-screen TV's and nice little semi on a respectable housing estate which, incidentally, look as though they were designed by an 8 year old with a Lego set, you seem content to let the very serious problems with our society roll right over you.

"Fook you, I'm alright Jack" seems to be the rule of thumb today. We are judged by others on what we have, not who we are!

Things will never get better as long as the majority just act like "sheeple" and let these things happen without a word of malcontent!

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

This is EXACTLY what the ruling classes want and expect!

If you are happy with introductions into society of lie detectors and other such invasive technologies without being consulted, or if you are happy that the media gives you half the information you need to make an informed choice, or that YOUR government makes decisions and choices that have resulted in the UK being as hated around the world as the Americans, then I feel sorry for you, I truly do.

If you DON'T want to be a "sheeple", then get involved! Say something! Because the longer we sit back and let this happen, the worse it will become.

I sometimes think that we are becoming like the "Big Brother" society foretold in George Orwell's classic "1984" but I can honestly say that he was wrong, things are and will continue to be far worse than he predicted.

God help us all!
