came across this last weekend.
‘For decades, the institutions that once embodied our nation – Parliament, the civil service, the courts, the police , the BBC, universities, schools, corporate executives, the Church, museums – have drifted away from the public they exist to serve.
Our country is now in the grip of a new ruling class which sees itself not as custodians of a living nation but as supervisors of a global humanitarian project that has no borders, no limits and no loyalty to the people whose taxes fund their salaries.
It’s defining ideology is ‘suicidal empathy’ – a deeply twisted worldview that is destroying our country in the name of showing empathy to others.
Suicidal empathy is when admirable instincts such as compassion are turned to favour outsiders over your own people. It is a belief that moral worth is measured not by defending your country but by demonstrating infinite generosity to the rest of the world, even when this damages your nation and threatens your survival.
The result is a government without control… borders without meaning… public services without capacity… leaders without courage … and a country without confidence.’
(extracted from … Suicide Of A Nation)
This in my view started with Blair and has continued ever since but reaching new heights under the present government.
good luck to all
