"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not their own facts" Divisive inequality & social injustice are spreading as a consequence of our collective political choices. Unless you own a tin hat, you'd probably choose to consign poverty, racism and sexism to history & to reverse climate change - so why haven't you? We are constantly misled about the causes of injustice & inequality by media groups with political agendas & governments who manufacture crises as a means of distraction - party strategists call it a 'dead cat' distraction. Human ingenuity allows us to formulate solutions to complex social, economic & scientific problems but our personal greed is why we regularly fail, often by design, to implement them. This blog examines these issues & key questions such as: Does distributing political power on the basis of wealth serve our society or prevent our progress? & Why do we accept the media's open use of half-truths & lies to manipulate our democracy?
