Lets not forget that "this shower in charge at the moment" have done some great things in amongst the illegal war etc etc.
National Minimum Wage, Tax Credits, both have made a very real difference to the lives of many people at the bottom of the pile.
I have no doubt the Tories will win the next election. Never underestimate the stupidity of the British electorate.
Until we have some kind of agreement about people being more important than profit we will get dark blue or light blue. The recent banking fiasco has shown me that what the system does is privatise profit and socialise the risk.
Hear hear to that. We will be paying for it for the next couple of decades. However, the people who caused it won't.
The older I get the more I see that the more things change the more they stay the same. Did the class war end? From where I'm sat the division between rich and poor got a lot wider!!
Sure we had the "freedom" to get into shed loads of debt but debt isn't freedom it's slavery. Where the banks not only use interest rates to recoup their losses they actually default and look to the ordinary working people.....the people they are turning out of their houses to shore up their greed!!
We have all been brainwashed into believing that the system as it stands is the only way it can be...it's just a lie perpetuated by the five or six percent of the population who own ninety five percent of the wealth.
Surely we have come far enough to recognise that a system so obviously unfair can in no way be said to be democratic. How can it be fair to expect a family to be made homeless and a banker who is massively implicated in the banks failures to be given bonuses for their incompetence?
Its like Rousseau said get the people to call for their own chains. Make the world dangerous and then let security take the place of freedom....Shaw was right we will soon have neither!!
