Why the truth doesn't hurt anymore

Here is Peter Oborne stating the obvious. He is a Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph columnist, and he could be talking about any parliament here.

How the system functions is as obvious as daylight - if one is not glued to the idiotbox... A group of elites control the major banks. The major banks control big business. Big business controls government. (Surely, only a fool would equate today's "politician" to "public servant".)

They all seem to have one aim: The blind pursuit of wealth (and of course, the power to hold onto it).

In all this, the public plays a very minor role - as workforce and consumers. And they know it.

A sudden, unexpected revelation might be shocking or hurtful - but this? This, we expect.
