There is an old saying, for evil to triumph it takes good men to do nothing.
Ask yourself what did you do to shape the world around you recently or are you one of the billions of people who just assume it is someone else who will do things, who will protest who will challenge.
We have become a nation of "Political Slobs" moaning about things from the comfort of our armchairs.
Politics has become something that happens "TO US" no longer something we shape, the activist has become something to moan about, ridicule, dismiss. Ordinary people have forgotten that politics actually means something and has the potential to turn our safe "armchair" world upside down.
Life after the 8th November will never be the same again, and ordinary shocked people are who let it happen.
We know that behind closed doors many people hate feminists, the LGBT Community, Women, Muslims, Foreigners, Difference in any form. Trump and Farage have opened up this "Pandora's box" with one purpose, to use the amalgam these prejudices to gain power, and ordinary people who do not hold these prejudices, are letting it happen.
Apathy is a cancer, and we all now have the cancer of prejudice in our lives, because of this apathy.
When next you look at the news and moan, remember you are the reason the world is they way it is, not some other people. Remember your vote IS important, its not about the politician being labelled "Grey" or cannot eat a "Bacon Sandwich", its about your life your world.
The only way to fight this new "Back to the 30's" world is to do something, get up for once and actually make a difference...................before more politics is done to you!
