I'm As Mad As Hell

Sitting watching the news as sweaty, mealy mouthed politicians skirt around the issue of their outrageous expenses for the maintenance of their pools, moats and tennis courts, I could only think of one man - Howard Beale.
Network was made in 1976 yet the mad rantings of Peter Finch's character still ring true today. We've had the global financial meltdown, the greedy rich bankers, the illegal wars, the rising unemployment, the continued ignorance over global warming, the heavy handed police, rising crime and the implementation of ID cards and now the realisation that parliament is nothing more than a collusion of politicians working together for themselves, against the people. I think it's time to get out of our seats...or we are fucked!
