Margaret Thatcher when UK prime minister famously said..."There's no such thing as society". Events last week seem to bear this out.

A young man was stabbed to death on a London bus one week ago, after asking another youth to stop throwing potatoe chips.

Although the bus was crowded with passengers, only one woman went to the assistance of the dying man.

She later said,"as the young man lay bleeding,I asked the others for help to call police or assist with first aid. Most of them just averted their eyes, nobody rose from their seats to help. It was unbelievable".

Later, only 6 people would help police with details.

Is this what it has come to?..Has Thatchers rotten selfish ideology killed any any real compassion in us.

Thachers credo is now being implimented by her protege Blair.

Where is the wonderful "way of life" that we are spending millions to protect. Its time to ask serious questions of the politicians who seem oblivious to the results of their policies.
