This is an enlightening and artistic short documentary about the current shocking state of Britain and its economy, and who is to blame for the continual recession. (I'll give you a clue: It's the rich and the powerful).
I've always felt politicised and yet apathetic. A paradox perhaps, but one that is recognisable in much of the people of Britain today. We seem to be struggling with finding an outlet for our frustrations when making our voices heard on marches, sit-ins - even riots - draw a total blank.
What can we do apart from get angry and self-educated when our government is blatantly ignoring us? How do you overthrow a leader when there seems to be no-one qualified enough to replace them?
Please send your answers on a postcard emblazoned with a funny political slogan, along the lines of the ones below.
P.S, I used to work at the same place as Anika, the blonde musician in the documentary. I had heard that she made really bizarre, crap music and that has truly been confirmed.
I like 'Either way, we're screwed' because that sums up my thoughts. I'm not so naive that I think I could do a better job, I just know it's pretty difficult to balance society. I grew up knowing the political leanings of my parents, my kids will grow up with no faith in politics (for what it's worth, I think that's what is needed, a generation who don't give a shit).
