Jim Morrisson is often to have said in 1969 "Whoever controls the media, controls the mind"
However a similar quote was made in 1956 by U.S. Congressman Francis E. Walter of Pennsylvania, Chair of the House Un-American Activities Committee used an instance during a speech in July 1956 as reported in “The Tablet: A Catholic Weekly” of Brooklyn, New York
Who said
“The Communists know that movie screens and television channels are weapons of far greater potential power than any of the nuclear devices whose secrets we guard so jealously.
“Control of the media of communication and information means the control of the mind, and for the Communists this would mean a victory of far greater importance than victory on a dozen battlefields of war.

"What we have in Britain are political parties stuffed full of self-serving narcissistic liars.
The blue/red/yellow brigade have morphed into a putrid cabal of budding autocrats willing to suppress even our most basic rights and freedoms using pseudo-science and 2 tier policing/justice as their chosen weapons.
It began a long time ago, but only now are the sheep beginning to notice, largely thanks to their new found social media habit, which is why the government are resorting to panic measures to suppress dissent."

It all started when the Sikhs were given exemption from wearing helmets! Don't get me wrong, the problem is not the 'one rule for them and another for us' but the fact that the helmet law came in at all, it should be advisory (maybe higher insurance for those foolish enough to ride without a helmet).
The difference between Authoritarianism and Totalitarianism.
Once again, banning the carrying of knives doesn't work, so why make laws you can't enforce?
I've always had a penknife in my pocket, at school and at work.
I think it started before that Hugo, when "religious" inhumane slaughtering was ignored in the interests of Muslims and Jews
Funny how animal rights groups never kick off about it!! Little known fact that the Nazis were the first to introduce animal rights.
I don't know the history of that anomaly, I do know that my Grandfather would poll axe beef animals before butchering them for his shop. As far as I'm aware pigs traditionally had their throats cut (without stunning).
And sheep

“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”

That was how animals were stunned (pole axe) until the captive bolt was invented.
I qualified as a Meat Inspector in 1976, and at that time cattle were stunned by captive bolt and sheep/calves/pigs by electric tongs placed on the animals head.
Kosher and Halal were exempt and I found it nauseating that no stunning was allowed on those animals

Bit nasty...
Who said that?
....BUT!
My old man took me to a slaughter house once, (it's where we used to get food for our dogs). They'd just beat the pigs to death with a bat. Didn't think anything of it at the time, I was only 'bout 5y/o.That was how animals were stunned (pole axe) until the captive bolt was invented.
