we have a permant un coucil seat, are part of the handful of nations with rights and ability to manafacture; export parts for and complete advanced weapon weapons systems, we are also one of only 9 nuclear armed countries.
the opposition leader on a radio show is next in line to win a large electoral majority, putting them in charge of those seats and positions. he's also keen to remind us that he's "acting as a party preparing for government". the idea that britain has little influence, or his party does, is misguided.
britain as a country is seen as an aged out colonial force, one often despised for the trauma they have caused historically and within modern thearters. that feeling of antagonism towards us is persistant because nations know the disporportional sway we have relative to our position currently.
the people without power are palestinians, at the behest of politicians like the labour party, believing their hands are tied into selling arms to israel to assist in their destruction. the people without power are muslim and jewish people globally seeing states act violently under the guise of doing it in their faith. the people without power were israeli citizens who saw their government fail in protecting them from a terrorist attack by a force their priminister funded and encouraged.
a constant theme in uk politics, western politics as a whole, as not some looney lefty tells us, but the prized bbc documentry maker adam curtis, is the belief that modern politicians have no power, because they believe they have no power, they believe in nothing.
