Sure, but how do you go about removing those

*Criminals and government (that are often interchangeable terms

)
I’ll give you an example, we all know the BBC is a monopolistic, corrupt, quasi-criminal organization. Far easier to depose than the political system, what is being done about it? There’s a lot of angry people out there, specially now after the whole Savile thing. There’s your catalyst event. Perfect time to pile on the pressure and get rid of them. Dead easy to achieve as well, all people need to do is pick up a phone and cancel their license.
Yet, nothing substantial is happening. The fuse’s been lit but the gun powder is wet.
Absolutely criminals and govt are 2 interchangeable terms.
Obama himself has presided over further wiretapping, rendition, gitmo, still in afghanistan, still in iraq, murdering US citizens...the list goes on and on.
There's shitloads of angry people now for numerous reasons, the squeeze is really coming on hard and you have to wonder.
The savile thing is the least of it, we then have the priests in on it, politicians the whole f*cking establishment, we have bankers raping and plundering the planet for chrissake, new laws leading to dictatorial regime and global empire, pollution of the planet at insane levels in canada and china, people starving to death in their thousands, bully boys roaming thrid world countries and murdering thousands, meanwhile people get their knickers in a twist over a single incident because its in their own backyard or whine and whinge about CO2 ffs.
What irks me most is the lack of perspective. There are real problems in the world and I've listed them in a separate thread.
I've yet to see anyone even so much as try and suggest they're not the most important problems we face. So why are we not addressing those problems first?
