The Moody British

Britain is intrinsically pessimistic, more divided and sceptical about the future than at any stage in history, according to a report . Findings reveal growing anger at inequality. Living costs are frustrating Britons, the report says, with 58 per cent of respondents citing it as the source of their problems. 78 per cent of the people surveyed were "angrier nowadays" than ever, with almost half believing their needs were "ignored by the Government". Two-thirds of voters believe that the UK economy is getting worse. Just 26 per cent of people agree with the statement that "when today's 25-year-olds reach 50, they will be better off than today's 50-year-olds are".

Dean Ashraf, author of the Moody Britain report, said: "It is painful to see with the strikes now: these are essentially public sector workers who have been sold a dream, that they'll be able to retire at a certain age or live a way of life enjoyed by their predecessors, that is looking increasingly unlikely – if not impossible."

If only people would but peep beneath the cloak of superficialities they would glimpse the real nature of society. They would discover the two economic classes in modern society and would understand that as long as society is organised on such a basis their chances of living like a human being are negligible. They would see that there is no future in struggling alone against the tide of capitalism, that it is difficult indeed to stay afloat, let alone rise to the top. They would see that the only sound future for them and their loved ones is to join a movement, the socialist movement, and work to overthrow the system that keeps them in poverty.
