Apathy is the word that comes most often to mind at present when I consider the attitude displayed by people in general as I view them on my daily round.

As with most words in regular use, I thought I had better check out the meaning and ensure that it actually does mean what I think it means.

The dictionary defines apathy as:- 1) absence of interest or enthusiasm for things generally considered to be interesting or moving; 2) absence of emotion- from the Greek apatheia.  

So I’ve come up with an acronym to prove the point: Apatheia:

A Passive Attitude To How Everything Is Arranged

That is how I see the way so many people in Britain seem to view the government activities that have caused so much angst. Mental pain of the most acute kind has taken a hold on the general psyche.  The resilience that used to characterise the British people seems to have waned to almost the thinnest sliver possible (like the moon) before it becomes invisible.

Where has the backbone gone that kept the hearts and souls of people alive during the war years.  Where is the refusal to accept the defeat that seemed almost possible when the enemy was threatening at the gates of Britain!

We have a new enemy at the gates of Britain now. An army of illegal aliens posing as asylum seekers fleeing from (supposed) tyranny and persecution! Having crossed most of Europe to arrive upon our shores, it would have been possible for them to claim ‘asylum’ in any one of the EU countries through which they have traversed.  But, their avowed intention was to reach Britain. Why should that be? The only answer that seems credible is that the news of the land of milk and honey that Britain represents has reached the far corners of the wider European and African land masses and the call of free money, housing and healthcare has proved irresistible. The knowledge passed on from mouth to mouth that it will be virtually impossible to be dislodged from Britain once here has proved too good to miss.

The apathy of the people whose Country is being ‘invaded’ and whose largesse is being spread amongst the new hangers-on (without due care that it is deserved or needed) is astounding.  The fact that so many people actually believe that this immigration is acceptable or even desirable (never mind affordable!) is truly incredible. The indifference is utterly stupefying.  Where is the outcry!  Where is the protest!  Where is the will to protect the Country from the unwanted numbers entering this land who may yet prove to be inimical!

Think back three generations or so, to the time when most ordinary citizens would have been ready with pitchforks and clubs to ‘repel boarders’ if the Germans had come calling and it is hard to imagine that the apathetic specimens that pass for Britons are born from the same stock.

All this immigration is taking place under cover of the pseudo pandemic of Covid – that strain of influenza that has been manipulated (whether in the laboratory or by natural mutation remains inconclusive) to pose as a deadly virus equivalent to the Black Death.  Apart from the first few weeks when most people did believe in the message that a new and fearful disease was in our midst, the ensuing 21 months have been a travesty of psychological warfare waged upon us all by our own government and ‘opposition’ politicians.

Throughout it all there has been a stalwart band of miscreants (as the Government would have us all believe) who – being sceptic – has refused to succumb to the hysteria and hype.  But the vast majority seem to have become so fatalistic and apathetic in their outlook that the war was over for them without much sign of struggle.  Government has cruelly and systematically closed down people’s lives. The real tragedy is that the apathetic and fearful have swallowed the ‘message’ hook line and sinker.  Their lives have become little better that that of caged animals.  They are not living, they are existing, courtesy of the crumbs that their ‘Masters’ choose to throw down from on high to keep the peasants quiet.

When the first ‘vaccines’ appeared on the horizon they were trumpeted into existence as though they were to be the ultimate saviours of humanity.  There was an initial promise that life would return to ‘normal’ as soon as the vulnerable were vaccinated.  That promise was soon shown to be a straw in the wind.  The news of adverse reactions soon began to surface.  Some did not take up the second dose.  Many did and many have since regretted their decision to do so.  

But throughout the ever increasing and frantic furore by Government to ‘vaccinate’ and ‘vaccinate’ until the whole population has been turned into human pin cushions, the phlegmatic, closed-minded and obedient have failed to recognise that the ‘message’ has been subtly changing.  I remember vaccinations as being the means by which one protected oneself from disease.  The ‘message’ now being peddled is that ‘vaccination’ using the new gene therapy is much more about protecting others.  

The real truth is becoming ever more apparent. That truth is that the ‘vaccines’ are not living up to any of their much hyped credentials.  They do not protect the individual from catching or spreading the virus at all.  It is becoming more and more likely that the reverse is the case. Neither, it seems, does the ‘vaccines’ efficacy ‘last’. More and more ‘boosters’ will be required to keep up one’s ‘vaccinated’ status.

So where is the outcry?  Where is the protest?  A few voices are raised in the wilderness that is today’s apathetic Britain! Protest marches regularly show large numbers of marchers all crying out for ‘freedom’!  But what will that freedom be?  Without a complete change in the way that Britain is ‘governed’; without a complete change in the way that people are informed and encouraged to participate in political life; without a complete change of heart amongst the most apathetic and compliant population that Britain has ever seen, it is very hard to imagine that the tyrannical despots that have stolen away our freedoms and our individual wills can be dislodged.

The very recent incursions by Government into our personal privacy via the appalling proposal to peddle our health and personal histories via a ‘vaccine (soon to be ID and Social Credit) passport’ should have been the final wake up call for the masses.  Instead, we are seeing a very real willingness to comply.  This compliance has been all too evident amongst the apathetic and impassive in the population, purely for the sake of being ‘allowed’ to take foreign holidays and to go to leisure venues.  The cult of ‘bread and circuses’ is a very hard habit to break.  

What will it take to awaken the torpid, the slothful and the indifferent?  Apathy stifles life!
