Dear Fred
I believe you are quite correct in identifying that it is vested interests that have helped to create the current economic conditions – the banking fraternity, the building fraternity, the fraternity of the landed classes, the ’stonemason’ fraternity, the upper echelons of every society in the world.
So there are many groups in whose best interests it is that ‘ordinary’ people stay quiescent and ignorant and powerless. Gordon Brown is merely a puppet and certainly no significant change for the good of society is going to be effected by him or his ‘government’.
The ordinary working person in Britain has been powerless since Wat Tyler and he didn’t do too well either so what do you suggest?
Possibly you have provided the answer to this question in documentary no.5 but I have not been able to find it on your website. Gosh I hope the answer is in doc no.5……. a lot of people are ready for a real solution – those that are awake that is.
