Trust In the British Establishment Has Been Destroyed

According to a new survey of British citizens, public trust in the establishment has declined. Results show that politicians, banks and the media are all trusted by fewer than 10% of those polled.

The survey, conducted by OMD UK as part of a year-long research project, asked 2,000 adults their opinion on various aspects of British society. In its polling, OMD UK discovered that only 3% of the people trust politicians, while 6% trust the media and 7% trust the banks.

It should be no surprise that trust continues to decline in Britain. More and more people are beginning to wake up to the fact that our society is controlled by criminal psychopaths who only care about their own wealth, power and preservation.

In light of a myriad of scandals, which include MP's expenses, media silence about high-profile pedophiles, and the crimes of the banking elite, it's finally become clear to the majority of citizens that elements of our establishment will stop at nothing to hide their misdeeds.

Here is the real rub, 40% of the people surveyed said they had to sell possessions to survive.
