IMAGINE A COUNTRY...
Where you can purchase a seat in the legislature, for
anything between $150,000, to $1.5 million, no messy elections required, for this
legislative assembly is appointed.
Imagine a country where the head of state, is presented the post as of
birthright; scientific genius, moral imbecile, pathological liar, far-sighted idealist or plain cretin, it would not matter, in this country the job is his or hers from
the moment of birth.
Imagine a country where policeman spy on dissidents, lie under
oath and blame the victims of their own incompetence; where corrupt payments
are made to the police by newspapers owned by magnates who act with impunity, who are above
the law.
Imagine a country where, completely openly, the tobacco industry plants a
lobbyist at the heart of government and politicians can be bought if the price
is right, Where politicians swear allegiance not to the people but to the head
of state. A country that has developed a vast spying network of CCTV and where security services track internet and e-mail traffic.
A country where the
rich pay the least tax, and where disabled people are thrown out of
accommodation deemed to be under occupied.
It is a question you need to put to the people of the United
Kingdom .
