Is it just me ?

There seems to be a lot of hype and hypocrisy around.
 Olympic and Royalty hype.
 Royalty and London Property Market hypocrisy.
The hype is everywhere the hypocrisy less obvious and open to interpretation.
Is it me or is it real that the economic wish to make money has encouraged everything royal to the fore. Shops celebrate - with a view to boosting sales.

On the London Property scene the Government turns a blind eye as the European rich bring their cash to a 'safe haven'.
We seem to criticise the Greeks while at the same time welcoming their cash and this precipitating chaos back home. This I really believe has the knock on effect of raising house prices as those at the most expensive in London are snapped up by Europeans. This at a time when the poor desperately need their mortgages to be reduced.

 Even many of the rich are feeling very uncomfortable whilst the 'middle classes' are beginning at long last to revolt.
Could it be that the costs of the Olympics will be the large straw that breaks the camel's back so that the 'average' Briton cries
 "Enough is enough."
"Let's find an alternative to this pseudo democracy"
 Several of my friends are suggesting that we've lost our way with concerns about money whereas close relationships with other people are what really count.

 My experience this week with the need to shift tons of compost in a hurry illustrated the depth of feeling people can have for each other as the strive hard to do what they see as worth while and ignore the crazy world of our television sets and Facebook.
 Actually doing things - not just talking - with others gives far more satisfaction than many of the activities we spend our time on.

 I'm finding I'm becoming increasingly casual about the need for money as my priorities change in favour of people.
They for me provide real security.
Totally dependable, reliable committed friends.
