Non-dom status, companies set up offshore and assets kept in trusts are only a few of the tax loopholes available to the rich yet the Tory tax dodgers and their beloved “Daily Mail”(an offshore entity set up in Bermuda) still like nothing more than having a good rant about how the disabled and those working for poverty wages are the problem. The actual problem couldn’t be anymore obvious as the facts are being waved in our faces so when will we take action.

Welcome to the IoT
Our aim is to help shine a light on some of the social issues that have become somewhat forgotten about in the modern society that many of us are now accustomed to. We will cover the impact these now social norms have on our quality of life including the way we are governed.

Is this constant political battle really worth our time? Over the years Capitalism has shot up all wealth and therefore power into the hands of so few yet we the people have made no major changes to the way we are governed. Make no mistake, corruption has always played it’s part in our government, they have just gotten better at hiding it from us in the modern world; away from cameras, out of files, no legal names, it’s also hard to prove when a favour really is just a favour. So what do we do now? The few who hold any power at all are clearly not using it to benefit the people, our lives are instead exploited to breaking points and our children’s futures taken before they even have a chance to make a decision for themselves. The big question is when does this end? When will enough of us break out of this artificial box we are kept in to actually make a change? When will enough of us unite? Use our own minds? and help each other out of this system that has us believe food, clean water and shelter are not an absolute right for us all. We cannot change a system from within the system itself we must stand up and say no together.

As we see another year come to an end we try to keep our thoughts positive for the New Year ahead. The past year saw living conditions crumble and crushed the dreams for many. Our “strong and stable government” had little or no stability at all and all that “levelled up” were the pockets of the billionaires who continue to profit from our misery. The magic money tree remains a dream for key workers and children yet open for banks as usual, the elderly shivering from the cold has been tolerated to allow for the record profits of energy companies. Homelessness, hospital waiting times and inflation have shot up while wages have dropped for 12 years. Sadly our government still has the audacity to blame people using food banks for our problems and uses their media to turn us against one another. Will things change this year? Perhaps we need more action and less prayer.

While the people are suffocated with work, debt and basic living expenses for themselves and their dependents there is very little time left in the day for us to challenge, protest or even investigate into the very same system that continues to hold us in these humiliating standards of living. We are where they want us; in fear of losing our jobs, becoming homeless and having no food for the family. It will take extreme courage and sacrifice to break this disgusting exploitation of the people but we must continue this fight together if we are to make a change that will better the lives of us all.
IoT
We are all living in an unjust system which is designed to only favour a select few, we can sell our one and only lifetime working towards the continuation of their prosperity or fight for what’s truly ours.

Some of us have our childhood teachings so ingrained into our minds that we are unable to so much as question them at any point in our adult lives. When presented with new views and ideas that contradict our previous teachings, we often choose to stay in denial rather than to look forward. One of the reasons we do this is the guilt from objecting to the views that we were brought up with in our childhood, especially the views that our parents held on to so dearly. Many of us would rather have the comfort of knowing we are conforming to those who are closest to us than to look forward and grow as an individual. We should never allow guilt, shame or rejection from others to hold back any new views or ideas that we hold it our hearts. If we are to be true individuals, we must never allow our self-confidence to be conditioned. We should all be encouraged to follow our own path without guilt or shame. The world’s greatest achievements were made by true individuals, not by the masses who sought the approval of others.
