How it Should Have Ended!

I have over the past week become a little bit obsessed with HowItShouldHaveEnded.com

If you haven't seen them, they are animated shorts of how movies should have ended.

My personal highlights are Iron Man, X-men first class and The dark night. Also any of the bookends with Superman and Batman having coffee are amazing.

Briton's Blame Poverty on Lazyness.

A worrying report from The National Centre for Social Research was reported today by the bbc. It highlights an issue that i have felt for some time is a problem we need to tackle.

That is the growing selfish attitude in the UK. The study shows that increased numbers of Brits think that the poor "Deserve to be poor" as they are lazy. It also shows while increased numbers of us believe the pay gap between the rich and the rest of us is excessive, the number who believe this wealth should be redistributed has fallen. Thanks to headline reports on benefit cheats/claimants public support for welfare is at an all time low. The only bright point of the report is generally increased satisfaction in public services up to the point the Tories got their knife out.

Thanks in great part to the influence of Rupert Murdoch. We now live in a society were the majority don't care about what we can build but what they can take. We hold those that gain the most through the least effort as pillars of society and those that add the most but gain the least as an unnecessary drain. For example while executive pay skyrockets, the majority support reduced pay (working conditions) for Nurses and Social workers. It’s a dark dark day for our great country.
