There is a serious degree of public disengagement.

Well, it's the best sort of anorak to be, politics affects everyone in their daily lives, so if you aren't aware of what is going on in the political world then you don't know what is going on at all really.

Many hold back these days through fear, its due to living in what is now a PC police state.

Others seem brain-washed and seem to be sheep walking.

Also these TV politcal discussions seem planned and the audience seem either hand picked or their questions arehand picked, it never really seems the proper view of the people around you.

It all stinks, but thank f*** that there are some of us who think outside of the box, and thank f*** that some of us are prepaired to fight back.

Its down to us to educate the public that we are being fed utter lies and nonsense by the media and government.

They all just wittered on or grandstanded and so on and the public took it all like lambs.

Where is the sense of importance gone, why don't people stand up and say it's not good enough, stop lying or offering platitudes and do something about the problem, why does the public lap it up why don't they demand from the people who are responsible, a real effective and immediate response.
