(James) Cameron's Big Society

The last community created by a Cameron consisted of thousands of 12ft blue creatures in a far away planet preaching about love and the environment.

Fair enough Avatar clawed back $745million, but when Prime Minister David has his turn of creating a 'Big Society' - it won't be so easy.

While they may not be essential life-saving services; youth centres, leisure centres and libraries all play a vital part in building this 'Big Society' and are being butchered by local councils.

You can bet your bottom dollar that the big blue men had places to read, have fun and look after their youngsters.

But the fact still remains, politics can be one of the most boring subjects to read about, people don't know and don't care until it starts to take effect on their own doorsteps.

Numerous newspaper reader surveys highlight the fact that behind motors and sport, the least people like to read about is the goings on in their country.

While I've never really taken much an interest in it until recently, you can't help but be glued to the news of the latest cuts.

Without getting too deep, my view in politics (and religion) is neutral.

Put simply I don't understand how someone can commit themselves to one organisation and deny all of their faults.

Catholics condemn sexual abuse in the church and many Muslims condemn the 'holy' war against the west.

A real test would be to try to find a Labour politician who admits when in power their party borrowed far too much money.

Or for that matter a Lib/Con politician who agrees that the amount of cuts are happening far too fast, far too soon.

Maybe if the country was run by big blue aliens we could all live in peace – watch this outer space.

A 'Lost' generation

The highest ever unemployment rates for graduates is giving birth to a lost generation.

A survey released this week shows that up there with politics, bankers bonuses and job interviews, people find that the most confusing thing in their life is the television series 'Lost'.

In the last few years, record unemployment rates, nationalisation of the banks and the whole politician expense scandal has led to complete disillusionment of today's youngsters.

Some 100,000 young adults aged between 16 and 24 are living on state handouts claiming they are too ill to work.

Merseyside Police statistics show that recreational drug offences during July this year have almost trebled since back in 2004.

While nationally, numbers for benefit claimants have rocketed, the vote turnout for England is the third worst since records began.

Blame the rolemodels

Youngsters' role models are people like Paris Hilton, Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard.

While I would gladly trade in my right foot for Wayne Rooney's or my physique for that of Steven Gerrard and maybe my party-reputation for Paris Hilton's.

I wouldn't want Gerrard's ego, Rooney's bad temper nor Paris Hilton's cringeworthy personality.

We are supposed to be one of the most civilised societies in the world yet our youngsters have no money, have no say in how the country is governed and lust over millionaires behaving badly.

A lot of my friends are coming out of university with degrees, some £20,000 in debt to the country and are signing straight on the dole.

But you can not attribute this to the generation that gave us the ASBO, Jeremy Kyle and Jedward. There is simply not enough jobs out there for them.

Gone are the days when you could swing from job-to-job.

In 2008 a friend of mine worked for British Aerospace and has had a number of successful jobs before spending a few years touring abroad.

He returned to England earlier this year finding himself with no qualifications and claims to have recently applied or enquired about more than 75 jobs to no avail.

Many unemployed indie kids, moshers, chavs, emos and skaters are stranded in an identity struggle caused by current and previous governments.

And from record youth employment to record youth enjoyment, with the world wide web and a staggering variety of satellite channels.

Millions of people can afford to spend their time mulling over the complicated plot of Lost.

Many unemployed people are now refusing to move away from their parents homes until they have their own children, spawning yet another 'Lost generation'.

Tory Times

I've just managed to get through my first working day under a Conservative Government and somehow scraped through unscathed.

There have been no chairs put through the office windows nor a sign of a repeat of the Toxteth riots or a mass amount of people been put out of jobs.

Sat in a pub last night with six of my mates, alarm bells rang out when someone got a text saying Cameron is the new PM.

The night was ruined as the conversation turned from football and banter to finance and budget.

Seven lads, all under the age of 25, none of them having worked a day under a Tory Government, began to speculate as to how bad spending cuts will be, amid record youth unemployment and the highest ever graduation rates.

Haunted by parent's tales of millions out of work, that 'witch' Maggie Thatcher (the milk snatcher) took away free milk from children and vanished the voice of working class Britain, stripping away power from the unions.

The turnout for this election was 65%. Some couldn't vote because they ran out of paper while others complained they couldn't be bothered waiting because of mass queues at polling stations.

These are the fast days of the fast internet, fast microwavable pasta, fast mobile phones – people have OD OCD (on-demand obsessive compulsive disorder).

Here's to hoping that Cameron and Clegg don't follow in Thatcher's footsteps and please the young OD OCD generation with fast solutions to match.
