I WRITE with regard to the recent news of HMV and Blockbuster going into administration.
We need to accept that the high street is more than a place to simply buy goods,
it is a huge part of the fabric of social life. Do people really only want to deal with virtual people in a virtual world? We should get off our mobile phones and interact with our fellow human beings. Think of the hundreds of people who have recently been put out of a job because we couldn’t be bothered to walk into their shop and buy their goods as we’d rather order online because it’s ‘easier’ and more convenient.
I also think the Government is partly responsible as it needs to intervene and stop the giant supermarket bullies from taking over.
All the working class should be on their toes, because David Cameron is coming to get you!
