'The Riot Club' is terrifyingly accurate.

'The Riot Club' it is fictitious take on the 'Bullingdon club'...

It follows a group of lads who are at the 'top table' of Oxford the absolute elite. They can do what they want, with who they want, how they want. They have no responsibilities in life, they have money to pay their way out of it. 

When you watch the film, there is an unease about it. Its a great film, but not easy to watch... you sit and think to yourself "gosh, there is something so real about that!" it doesn't feel a fake story but real events. In once scene, they beat a poor working man within an inch of his life and then the guy responsible gets a fancy lawyer- pays his way out- and then gets an internship in a politician's office (he will go straight through into being an MP most probably) after being kicked out of Oxford for nearly committing MURDER. 

Some people get away with things scott free and others get all the blame. 

The Bullingdon club, is a famous club in Oxford for its debauchery and elitist ideals. It once had as a member: David Cameron  ( current Prime Minister), Boris Johnson (Mayer of London), George Osborne (chancellor of the Exchequer) and Nick Clegg (Lib Dem leader)... Yes, you do recognise those names because they are English politicians. Awkward. 

The system we have in England is a problem. We have a class problem, we have to actually admit it. However, the biggest issue I've found is the disillusionment. You're a politician, person for the people. NOT for yourself.  Where is the empathy and understanding of another person's life... why are selfless politicians. The 2015 election is the only one on record where all is to play for, because of how reckless and untrustworthy politicians have become. WE voted for you!! So LISTEN to us. 

The film reflects the current political situation: its not working. 

Our politics can be so ignorant at times. They are not working, they are not understanding or sympathetic. 

Until we are willing to get some empathy and listen to each other, we are going no further. Unless you understand the life of another person or try to understand their lives, you can't stand and govern them. You don't have to live the same way, you can be rich and they poor- but you absolutely need to understand their trials and battles in life before telling them what their lives are going to look like. 

The Riot Club helped me understand how accurate the gap and lack of understanding between the rich and poor is.
