Now that there are problems they are, as usual, placing the blame firmly at the feet of the 'west' while proclaiming their 'helpless' situation. | Then if that's the case the west has been far to dumb not to realise the implications. Either way England in particular has closed down successful businesses and manufacturing to line the pockets of corporate companies, that can't be denied.
Why do business that are already succesful within their own company and country want just that little bit more for themselves, and sacrifice employment and stability within their own country, that is greed, and now it's bitting back

The way of life can be free and beautiful, greed has poised men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goosed stepped us into misery and blood shed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives us abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much, and feel to less. More than machinery, we need humanity |
