GREAT BRITAIN TODAY

CRISIS OF MODERN CIVILISATION
BY


P.V. KURIAN

European intellectuals, scientists, humanists,liberals, socialists and communists under the false belief that the present West European civilisation is the be-end and the be-all of human progress and that its science, technology and liberalism are the panacea for the ills of mankind and will eradicate the poverty of Asia and Africa and Latin America. But it is the other way.

The present day rich Euro-America and the poverty stricken  Asia and Africa cannot coexist together on the surface of the earth for very long. The poverty of Asia and Africa will hamper the progress of Euro-America and will in turn result in the breaking up of their dominance, standard of life and civilisation. The development in Soviet Russia are  only the precursor to the decline and fall of present day civilisation, its technology and science, in the rest of Europe and America.The picture which Mr. David Day gave of the present conditions in Great Britain and West Europe is dismal.

Great Britain is no more an industrial Nation. She has very few manufacturing industries. Major section of the populace are employed in service industries like Railways, Airways , Telecommunications, Banking, Insurance etc. The employees in these industries which form the bulk of the labour do not like themselves to be called working class. They detest the very word 'working class` and like to be called middle class. Most of the industries nationalised by Labour Government  have been de-nationalised by the Tories.
