UGH! HOW I HATE THIS TERM "WORKING CLASSES"

Published: Thursday May 29,2008 by Grevillea

Any comments I make are not because I support Gordon Brown. Further, I do believe the Daily Express should permit posts which do not always support their Right Wing political view point instead of shoveling them into the back-burner as fast as they can write another article.

It is important for people to be allowed to give consideration to views which may initially offend, especially when they are suffering under the ever increasing burdens of the cost of living but may just permit them to give deeper consideration into a subject which very obviously effects us all - worldwide.

I also do wish the Daily Express would not use the term "working classes" it demeans people. I am so pleased that I escaped from such a disparaging social divide.

Now then as to the emotive language used to influence people against Gordon Brown rather than dealing more rationally with this enormous problem. Let me say:
Things are going to get a whole lot worse.

It is estimated that at current usage rates, and with the probability of no new large oil fields being discovered that we will run out of oil within 30 years.

Obviously there is an urgent need to find an alternative energy source before we see the collapse of the industrialized world for that is what we are heading towards. That's the truth and that is not Gordon Brown's fault.

Many people have been pursuing various alternatives for some years now without providing significant answers to avoid what seems now to be unavoidable.

Planes will not fly, trucks will not deliver food, trains cannot move, cars will not run, plastic packaging cannot be made. Everything will come to a complete standstill and man will pay for his folly.

In the meantime, the only recourse our Governments can use to limit oil use is to increase the cost of this dwindling resource.
