It's in WORDS where the real power lies. (aka the message of 1984). In England a union was once extensively defined as "a combination of parishes for the joint administration of relief for the poor" and before the 1980s a "trade union" of politically caring workers was able to voice their altruistic concerns with public respect. The Ingham/Thatcher/Sachi&Sachi sound-bite machine was more about long-term psychological manipulation than freedom. It successfully re-defined the rules which were employed to understand what was meant by trade unionism and made it an object of derision. Those caring individuals who once belonged to trade unions are still present in Britain in great numbers, but without a collective voice their pleas are ignored, as the class divide increases. We have now reached a situation where there is a positive correlation between wealth and life itself which stinks of political planning. End of OT remark.
