"I imagine you meant decent, not decadent, Jim!"
I did, of course - something that to be beyond the concept of these people
When people talk about Western Democracy I always remember Ghandi's response to a question about Western civilisation - "I think it would a a good idea"
True Democracy can never exist while the information needed to run society remains in the hands of the political elite and the privately owned media.

Brexit was sold to the public on the basis of half truths and lies based on a failing economic system - it was scapegoat politics at its very worst - "control our borders and get rid of the "undesirables" and everything will be tikety-boo"
That was Farage's message and it was that which dominated the campaign.
Brexit has now proved to be an economic and social nightmare, if Britain echoes what is happening in Europe, it will become a political nightmare and will have opened the door to the EXTREMIST RIGHT
