Apathy Rules

More than three days of snow, and the whole infrastructure of the UK has ceased to function properly. Councils are running out of salt and grit for the roads, and the only 'ploughing' going on is that of public money into foreign bank accounts - a nice little earner.
Despite having been bailed out to the tune of billions of pounds, the banks continue to pay big bonuses to people who quite clearly are pretty crap at the job, whilst at the same time calling in overdrafts and loans. As a result of which, unemployment is on target to reach record levels - maybe even higher than when the Conservatives were last in.
Meanwhile war and famine rage across the globe, and the most important item on BBC news this week has been whether a 'D' list celebrity will apologise to the Prime Minister for speaking the truth (he does indeed have one eye, he is indeed Scottish, and he is indeed in some people's opinion an idiot). Jeremy Clarkson should have had the courage of his convictions and refused a retraction - whatever happened to freedom of speech?
So............All of this, and any other self respecting country would have taken to the streets armed with very big sticks, and ready to fight with riot police - the most we Brits seem to manage is really working ourselves up into a right state and ending up just more than a little bit grumpy!
