Okay so in college we are doing about papers and politics and where they stand. We were asked to bring in the papers that we read...I don't read papers but when I do, I read the Guardian. So I brought it in.
Everyone else on the whole entire class apart from one other lad, brought in either the Daily Mail, The Star or The Sun. I was reading some of the headlines and FUCKING HELL it made me wanna snatch the papers from their hands, rip them up, throw them onto the ground and stamp on them! Seriousl are the only stories these "papers" put out about benefit "scroungers", evil immigrants that wanna destroy our country or celebrity gossip? I mean gosh! If I took the mail, went for a crap then used the mails pages to wipe my arse on afterwards it would be better than the shit they print!
Then I'm sat over from a group of girls who were working together and this right posh stuck up lass is sat there going on about a story in her piece of shit paper about how this family on benefits were wrong to be so and they should get a job etc etc. She was saying about how when she was out of work for four months she didn't even use the benefit system as she used her own savings. What does she want, a fucking medal? She also stated how *everybody* could find a job if they looked, and when the teacher pointed out that there weren't enough jobs especially in the more old industrious areas, she just wouldn't believe her.
Thing is, these papers have all the power. They put out stories infused with poisonous propaganda and they give the general public something to hate or fear. Why? Because hate and fear sells papers, hate and fear also keeps people scared and in their place. Turn peoples attentions to something irrelevant and give them a scapegoat and the real "baddies" and people in power can carry on regardless. No-one qill question their morals or their ethics or what they are doing, because "it's in the good interests of our british nation." Fuck that. Benefit cheats? They make up about 1% of those on benefits. Immigrants? They make up about 5 million of the population; a population whos thotal is over 60 million. So gimme a break. Immigrants, drug users, welfare families...these people are not the enemy. The papers that put out fear and hate campaigns such as The Mail and The Sun and The Star; these are the enemies, they seek to keep us dumbed down and seek to rile us up over trivial matters which are not real concerns rather than to let us focus our attention on more pressing issues that really do hurt us.
The rich get rich and the poor stay poor...that's what the people in power want at the end of the day; afterall, they are the rich. And they sure don't wanna give up their power.
Thing is, if you look at the really real truth; that the papers seek to keep us dumb and to hide the truth from us, there must be a reason why. Why? My guess is because they know that if everyone were to learn the truth and we were all to stand up as one nation, regardless of colour or status or religion, that we would, as one single nation be strong enough to overcome the lies and hypocrisy of those in power and we would achieve freedom and enlightenment as one.
