England is going crazy these times. Maybe living in a country so beautiful, with so many opportunities and getting used to all of this drives UK-minds crazy.
They complain about the privatization of their state-services (trains that now are more expensive, less reliable and packed with commuters, while before they were the opposite, electricity and gas bill that go up up up and so on). Would they say the same if a socialist regime was in place for about 20 years or so ? Guess not.
Besides all this the subjects of the day are:
- climate change and global warming: every paper is going mental with this thing. People are encouraged to use trains not planes, products should in the future contain on their labels the quantity of CO2 emitted in the atmosphere on each of the production phase and examples can continue. Can they stop for a second and think of China ? 1/6th of the world population i bet doesn't think about this, while 0.01% makes some much fuss.
- Fairtrade is a new concept that encourages retailers to buy their products directly from the source and not through intermediates. More than this the undeveloped countries are targeted more to help in their development. Wise enough, but who is doing this with more than 10% of their products. Or maybe I'm wrong. Check this out !
This is England :)
