What 'we' want is more RESPECT. And no, this doesn't mean FEAR, which
is what respect tends to mean these days.
However, we're not going to get respect from anyone, because no one
has respect for anyone else these days.
Who do you respect? I suppose we can all think of one or two
individuals we respect but which GROUP of people do you
respect?
Politicians? Don't make me laugh. The police? All corrupt, innit?
Nurses? Lawyers? Judges? Sportspeople? Celebrities? hehehe
Who do you look up to?
People used to respect (fear?) the family doctor. Not any more.
We can't turn back the clock. No respect.
So, in answer to Dr Buttar's question: we cannot be expected
to carry on as we are, and we won't, though the manner of
the change may not be of our making.
Ahmad's revolution may come sooner than we think, and we may
not like it very much.
