Libya - Political and Social Unrest

From Tunisia to Egypt and Bahrain to Libya it seems political and social unrest has swept the world of politics.

Since the students protests in the UK based on the raising of tuition fees it seems the world has been showing us how a real riot and result can be achieved.
With hostile and dangerous protests UK citizens can observe the full scale of how we could protest if we really wanted actions.

The vast attention of the political unrests from all media sources, including the News and Newspapers demonstrates the ability to suppress the British nation to behave themselves and leave our problems to the government.
This deterrent of unruly protests, death and injuries acts as a cap on the British to remember how to bite our lips and be British. Such behaviours here may carry prison sentences, fines and criminal warnings.

Whilst Libya is in turmoil, it made me think how this affects the infrastructure of the country, the effects on the economy and social structures. From shop closures, to drops in the stock market, the trail of devastation goes far.

I hope those taking refuge in Malta are safe and well! Gaddafi has a long decision ahead.

Random thoughts...

1) Remember when everyone just saw Egypt as the place with Pyramids and sand.
Well they are still rattling a few heads around the globe.
Might teach a few people about Egyptian politics and culture, where they previously might have just seen triangles in a desert and camels as the main points.


2) Why does my phone always run out of battery at they key moment of the day. It never runs out when I am sitting comfortably and doing nothing, only when I am about to leave the safety of my own home. The phones know when we leave and try to make us stay and charge them...yes this was an odd thought.


3) I think I would have suited life in an ancient village, I get annoyed when my technology doesn't work, wouldn't it be great just worrying about lighting a fire and hunting. If you didn't know about any of this modern world, you would find happiness in the most basic tasks.
