It's the really sad part about a 'competitive free market'(Neoliberal economics), basically this is how the Tories like their economy(Thatcher, and Reagan designed, and implemented this form of economy in the 1980s, and it's now reaching maturity), you either succeed, or fail, and are left all alone. The key to fixing this, is either vote for a more humanitarian Government, or....... get yourself into 'the system', if they arrest you, they're bound to give you the help. It's tragic that we're back to that 1800's society, but it seems we're moving in that direction.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
