The Age of Discontent

.


There comes a time in the lives of most people when the weight of life experience affects your day to day thinking. Complaints about this and that may become more frequent as we age, until we are seen to have metamorphosed from the younger, hopeful,effervescent person we once were, and have become 'grumpy'. I prefer to use the term 'perceptive people who have much life experience, have realistic views about change and modern attitudes and who can advise us on the futility of change for change's sake', but it does not roll off the tongue like the word 'Grumpy'.
The age of the grumpy old man or grumpy old woman is upon us. We seem to only see the negative in everything as we try to come to terms with new innovation, new ways of saying the same things so that they don't sound like what it being discussed and new terminology for the new technology that has been thrust into our lives.
This blog has been a long time coming. I intend to post on here the subjects and attitudes that irritate me. Such as:- Political Correctness (with examples) that is always worth a shy at (verbal coconut
shy) ; Destroying the identity of Britain. I think immigration into this country has made a great country even greater, but the wimps in certain positions would sacrifice our identity and customs to please those who really should be adapting, just as we adapt to change. For instance,where would we be without Curries and Poppadoms and all the other fabulous cuisine that has reached our shores during the last two hundred years ? However I also believe that the identity of the UK is not what it appears to be. The veneer of political rhetoric which musters patriotism, when deemed necessary that is, as far as I am concerned only motivates the masses who, by energetically repeating a popular political statement show themselves to be willing to maintain the status quo of what I perceive to be basic inequality in the UK. The masses are here to maintain the classes; fed crumbs of comfort instead of cake! Plus ca change!
