> it seems that journalism is more and more responsible for work police should be doing

I think this echoes a lot of sentiment, if perhaps without concrete evidence, across the world.

How can we solve this?



For people in “democratic” countries, get involved in civic duties. Register to vote, stay informed, volunteer to canvass and spread the word for campaigns. I donate monthly to causes I care about supporting. Corruption reform has taken place through these routes.

Edit-pedantry


"For people in democratic republic countries"

So obviously people from the UK, Norway, Netherlands, and Spain should not get involved /facepalm


First we have to address our ridiculously outdated structure and actually government sanctioned class system.

Having a queen and a ridiculously nationalist political parties has to be the most embarrassing parts of being British.

God (lol) divinely gives power to the queen (lol) through birthrite (lol) and we are her subjects (lol).

It is so deeply offensive that I am meant to he her slave, and its shocking how much idiots dont think it matters.


youre not her slave or subject really though are you? you havent been scrubbing her shoes or done anything at the request of the royal entourage im guessing. shes just a placeholder for tradition and has no say in anything. so really, it doesnt matter. stop getting your knickers in a twist over something so unimportant and irrelevant


The Tories changed this in the British Nationality Act 1981. We are now citizens, not subjects.


Having a queen and a ridiculously nationalist political parties has to be the most embarrassing parts of being British.

I think Boris Johnson does quite a splendid job in the British embarrassment department.


The two (non-mutually exclusive) most realistic options are to:

1) Become a career politician yourself. 2) Put yourself in the top 0.1% wealth bracket, and share your opinions with money.


Embrace the trend and take responsibility for solving unsolved crime and peacefully bringing about justice and/or resolution (ie- inform the uninformed) to the problems for which you have solved.
