The TTIP is being created by people with a purpose and it’s a purpose which will hugely benefit the rich corporate fat cats who couldn’t give a siht about democracy and the damage these treaties will do to it. I’ve spent weeks reading as much information as I can get my hands on about these treaties (which I naively believed to be just some big trade deal) how its structured, how they don’t have to wait for the full ratification process to be completed before its implementation; what it will achieve and how it will re-mould our country to look more and more like America. I’ve read the good with the bad, the benefits, the hurdles and the undoubtable truths that these treaties are the end game of neo-liberalism. This is what it was all about, this is the cherry on the cake and I’ve never been so scared in my life.

Obamas dogmatic doctrine may convince a few because to some extent, Obama is looked upon as the ‘ruler of the world’ the ‘high priest’ if you like. I myself, right up until very recently, greatly admired his leadership but now I see him for what he is, just like Cameron, he’s another talking head that paves the way for transnational corporations and survival of the fittest at his citizens expense.

We can sit back and wait for the 11th hour in Westminster or we can get constructive by signing petitions, making ourselves more informed and raising awareness with others or even joining the protest groups. If I’m not part of the solution then I’m part of the problem; if too many of us are complacent then we must accept when the battle is lost.
