UK Corruption.

After hours of struggling to define corruption I think it is, ‘a fish swimming backwards.’ Obviously fish are too smart to attempt this but if they did they’d find all their scales that help them swim forwards would flay out and make a thousand little brakes, like teazels that go in but won’t come out. In corruption the thousand facets of effective human interaction become points of jagged resistance. Using this analogy the UK is a hot bed of corruption and its futile activity of coercion. Cameron may comment about Nigeria and Afghanistan corruption but at home he’s presiding over an unprecedented expansion of a more sinister form. In every aspect of education for example every participant, students, teachers, lecturers, parents and future employers are bristling with stress and anger from record levels of coercion. And coercion in academia just as in Nigeria is the active ingredient of corruption. It forces stress down the power structure and rewards, i.e. money, up it, and like the teasel it only goes one way. But more importantly coercion corrupts effectiveness hugely as in the fish swimming, or in this case being pulled, backwards, and once this paradigm sets in ineffectiveness obviously requires more pulling, which in turn leads to even less effectiveness. It must be very confusing to the likes of Nicky Morgan that whatever she does things get worse. It’s simple dear, just consider a fish swimming backwards.
