Crisis, what Crisis?

The term 'Wooden Top' can be a term of enderment between friends or a term of derision to those who are inept, incompetent or indifferent.

This series is taking a cynical put down on the present economic crisis and the role of politicians, bankers, quangoes and all those who have created, ignored or who are profiting from the people who matter.   

The Politician 

"I'm a politician, Vote for me and I will promise you anything"

 Election time and polititions of all parties extoll manifestos of what they will do if elected.

The elector has to judge the value of the promises made against those delivered, and ask how much is hot air rhetoric whilst being talked down to, rather than being spoken to, or ( does the talking down to, come after being elected.) 

 It may be held in the public eye that of all the people to whom the crisis can be attributed to, the bankers are the very ones who are in denial

Whilst everything is collapsing around us the banks with the support of authority  are on safe ground whilst the economic holes are filled in by the taxpayers and savers.

The viewer has to decide whether, if in despite of the perseived view of incompetence and ineptitude they are in accord with the view of the bankers that they have earned the millions in bonuses for a job well done

The Bankers

"Economic crisis! What crisis?

We're alright Jack, we're the bankers"

More Bankers

    Detail of an endangered spicies used to fill in the economic holes, they are known as  'Savers'

 Are we also now having to cope with financial black holes as well as economic collapse.

Who are they?

What do they do?

Do you benefit?

After paying for organisational overheads, How much goes to the grass roots. 

Balancing the subjectivity of the individual with the objectivity of authority.

Government departments, Financial institutions and Quangos are charged at public expence with anticipating a worst case scenario and formulating plans to protect the individual by forstalling and preventing it taking place.

What happened?

What do you think?

What happened to the UK Sterling subsidy to the Eurozone?

 Plenty of shops on the High Street, the trouble is, they are closed. 

Has society reached a state of  'Must Have' syndrome, irrespective of who is harmed, either physically, emotionally or financially. 

Can it be justified to take the livelihood from the shopkeeper who has spent a lifetime creating a business

to earn a living just because he has what you want and you feel the need to take it because you do not feel the need to earn it.

More fool you

 Perhaps in view of the current situation this should be renamed "Pay Day Loans" 

Having done what authority asked of you and saved from your earnings for your old age to avoid being a burden on the state.

In return has the state plundered your pension pot, taxed your savings and let the bankers make a proit from your saving without any return?

Are you a responsible citizen or a fool?

Even in a crisis bureaucracy florishes with a closed mind set, running around like headless chickens watching everything disappearing down a black hole  

What end are we looking at?. 

The Quango's

 "We have made sure we are the first to be safe"

The Funders

 "Where it it all go and what did we do with it"

Authority 

"We saw it coming but did nothing about it"

The Euro

"Sound as a pound"

The High Street

The Riots

"I want it, I need it, I deserve it"

The Financier

"Give me your money and I will make  fortune" 

"The Pensoners"

"Where has it all gone?"

"Bureaucracy"

The end is in sight
