Hi everyone I hope you are all keeping well today.
There is a growing outward public face developing in the U.K. towards what large companies can do for the public and society as a whole.
Refreshing to see but the public face of being seen to be doing things for society is only part of it.
The culture has to be embedded into the company as a whole as I have said from the top downwards.We have yet to see that in some companies as we are all aware.
Society over the past decade has had the heart torn from it as life sped on and it seems that the phase we have just come out of is surfacing again as house prices rise ,rented accommodation rises and we are told the only way forward is to spend ,spend,spend.
Society needs to rebuild its'structures as well as moving forward but in the great rush forward there are some who think that changes are not needed and we can carry on the same.
The next 10 years are going to be different as more decision making gets back to local level .It has to happen.Also local authorities in the U.K. will be more answerable to their customers.
Local authorities will realise they will have to attract investment in local projects from local people so they will need to approach things very differently.
It is only by bringing local control back to the local authorities that society can start to rebuild again.
We are at the start of a new phase throughout the world as society starts to take an active interest and role in where they live and trade.
I do not think that large corporations and government local and central throughout the developed world realise what the internet has given their populations.
And within these populations their are people educating themselves.
All of us working together to make society better is the only way forward.
Happy and successful investing to you all.
Christopher.
