Proposed trade deals such as TTIP already put the interests of corporations above those of government and citizens.
Marx would have been horrified by Stalin. Stalin is not a good example of an advocate of one world government either as he introduced the concept of ‘Socialism in One Country’ which became state policy in the Soviet Union. He didn’t think that Communism could go global – at least, not at that point in its history. It was his reaction against Lenin’s idea of Permanent Revolution. Lenin is better suited to your argument but he invented lots of stuff and just added it to Marx. I don’t know enough about Fidel to comment on his regime. I'm no fan of any of those big Euro quangos but they aren't communistic at all. Elite does not equal communism, at least, not as envisaged by Marx.

I think everybody took the bits from Marx that they liked, and then they added their own stuff on top of it. I would imagine some of the socialist control structures are quite appealing, even to the owners of the means of production. If you are interested in this kind of stuff there are plenty of Fabian offshoot's working away behind the scenes. What I have mentioned are not actually my views, they are just a collection of opinions I have come across regarding the roles of these unelected parallel organisations.

This time next year it will be a thumb and 4 fingers, followed by both hands, and then an added iris scan. After that they will suggest inserting a microchip to simplify things :hehe:

Re: What is political correctness?
Gosh what a lot of opinions, excuse me if I just go straight to the question, in my view political correctness is just an excuse for liberal minded people to hide behind emotion.

Now that is political correctness gone mad and it also strikes me as something of a rip off.

I don't see anything wrong with that at all, except it's the word "perceived" that causes the problems, because it becomes a jobsworth's charter.

Right wing council leaders are currently in a 7 star hotel, working out how they can tax people for going into the sea, Liberal left council leaders are congratulating themselves on their agenda.

If people are stupid enough to not learn from that then surely we should just let them swim? :hehe: you will never stop people doing stupid things.

I recall one death in 2012, the woman died after being hit by a wave while paddling, which is more of a freak accident. Have there been any more?

Good point.
First Christmas swimming is banned (on Brighton beach when it's very cold).... next baptisms! It will be illegal to be a Christian God-botherer and compulsory to be an Islamic God-botherer. There will be no option to be a non-botherer of random deities.
If only people would wake up!
When will the madness stop?
We will look back misty-eyed at a golden age when all we had to splutter our cornflakes with was 'health and safety gone mad'.
Well, at least we've got Goslow to steer us through the darkness....
