Future
Not just the survival of the fittest but also the successful survival of the tribe.
We need to look at ‘The Tribe’, how can we create a UK Tribe that works together, that can beat all the other tribes in the world. Be sure we are at war, in the nicest gentlest civilised way of course, but it’s still war.
We are fighting for our share of the global resources namely food, energy, water, health, knowledge and wealth.
The Russians want to charge as much as possible for their gas; the OPEC countries are upset that we add tax and duty to their product prices, when our consumers could pay them more; all the countries with natural resources, particularly those in short supply, want to charge as much as possible. Our neighbours want to ‘beggar’ us by demanding money without commensurate value in return (and we’re giving it to them.)
The international community wants us personally to pay the costs of our joint global security eg the wars in
So if we want to be richer, stronger, fitter and more powerful than the other tribes,
- we need to concentrate our efforts to reduce what we import and how much we pay for it;
- we need to develop our own supplies;
- we need to cut out waste (that is effort or materials being directed inappropriately or ineffectively);
- we need to protect our assets whether they are water, money, knowledge or people;
- we need to develop our people and also enable them to give us the very best of their talents
- and we need to develop supplies and services that the other tribes desperately need or want to buy off us.
We are infinitely stronger if we work together as one team, so we need a goal which we all want to achieve, so much so that we convert our current ‘I want a bigger slice’ mentality to ‘I want a share of that much, much bigger pie.’
The first job is to sell the VISION.
The VISION of a successful tribe,
- a tribe clearly identifiable by language, clothing, culture and a flag
- a significant initiation ceremony witnessed by all
- powerful enough to protect the tribe,
- rich enough to look after all the tribe members,
- a tribe that everyone wants to join in the interests of joint safety and security,
- a tribe such that everyone wants to procreate to ensure the on-going success of the tribe.
Long live the UK Tribe
