THE BEADY EYE SAY’S ITS TIME FOR PREVENTION NOT AID.

It is time to address the root causeS not with Aid but with preventative action. The analytical discussion, the comments on refugee causes still remain, sadly, unchanged. This has to change.  If not we are provoking an unprecedented…

THE BEADY ASKS; IS THIS ANOTHER WORTHLESS MEETING FOR DO GOODERS.

THE BEADY ASKS; IS THIS ANOTHER WORTHLESS MEETING FOR DO GOODERS.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS. ARE WE ALL BEING DUMBED DOWN?

THE BEADY EYE ASKS. ARE WE ALL BEING DUMBED DOWN?

Some time ago I posted are we all being Googlified.  

We use the internet and social media is not so much to expand our minds as to lose them.

THE BEADY EYE SAY’S TEN OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DON’T SUFFER A COLLAPSE IN VALUES FOR NO REASON.

A one minute Easter Read.

Is it because we can’t handle the truth or is it because religious beliefs are dying in a world driven by materialism.

Most people would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what the values are that they live by.

They have never given the matter much thought.They would probably, in the end, decide not to answer in terms of a definitive list of values.

THE BEADY EYE ASK’S: ARE WE ALL SO BRAINWASHED OR JUST PLAIN STUPID THAT WE CANNOT SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL.

  ( A two-minute read. A thousands years of consequences)

Industrial society is out of control. Run by Scientific, Technological, Industrial, Business and Financial education.

Billions of, you name it, has being destroyed in the name of progress.

What we now have is unsustainable growth, with almost everything being turned into a commodity for the sake of profit.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS CAN THE EU ACCOMMODATE ANOTHER 4 MILLION MIGRANTS.

( a one minute read)

As riot police dismantle the camps of northern France, ‘forced relocation’ of people into shipping containers is brushing a humanitarian disaster under the carpet. The new accommodation on which the French have spent £20m is shipping containers, each kitted out with 12 bunk beds. There is heating and electricity BUT Humanity is bulldozed away.

The underlying political problem…
