Yes Mo you are right to feel jaded.

I feel like shaking folk and shouting "Wake up ! The wolf is scratching at the door"

Complacency. Apathy. Ignorance.

And when the wolf does bite they will be indignant " Hang on ! This isn't fair".

Too late.

Who was the Dickens character who was always in confident expectation that something will turn up ?

That's about the best reaction we will get from the majority.

So Mo are you in agreement with me yet that only a people's outright rebellion against Parliament is the only hope we have ?

No. I am not in agreement with that. Rebellion or a revolt without a defined purpose, or properly laid out aims and objections, leads to uncontrollable violence and chaos. And nothing good comes off it. Example, french revolution. No. I am in favour of building a cultural movement, that spreads with reasonable means into the whole country, and revives what has been lost and forgotten. I am just desponded that everything has to come down crashing before people realise we could have started it a long time ago.
