Well, I’ll tell you what makes me really angry…….

A bunch of millionaire, Eaton educated Tories putting out an advert saying

“Bingo – Cutting The Bingo tax and beer duty to help hardworking people do more of the things they enjoy”

This is without doubt the most crass piece of patronising nonsense ever.

1p off the price of beer and we are supposed to touch our cap to the toffs and say “thanks gov” .

Meanwhile the cost of housing is about to go stratospheric whilst the elite withdraw their pension funds en-masse and purchase “buy-to-let” property. Making house purchase for the average working person an impossible dream, particularly in the south east.

Whats going to be in the next Eaton (oooops sorry Conservative) manifesto……bring back the work house ?

PS Have a little look at the cartoon in todays Sunday Torygraph……….featuring a Lamborghini showroom with a note on the window saying ” only two pensioners allowed at a time”

Keep going Kev……..all the very best !

I must admit to being exceedingly concerned for the future.

As a lifelong labour supporter and proud socialist I despair at the current state of the Labour party and in particular its leadership. Although I believe Milliband possesses a keen and academic mind. I feel he lacks the vast majority of skills required to lead UK PLC. Further, how can I trust the judgement of a man who believes that Ed Balls should be Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Ramsay MacDonald must be turning in his grave.

Meanwhile, Nick Clegg has taught us one thing. That he would sell all his principles (if he ever had any) to acquire the Deputy Prime Minister title. He has, in a short period of time. Damaged forever a proud party with a proud history. His party will sink without trace in the next election.

THE combined wealth of the Cabinet is more than £70million, with Prime Minister David Cameron worth almost £4million. The current Conservative party is interested in one thing and one thing alone. Maintaining the status quo. That is keeping the rich, well rich and everyone else in the sh@t. They have no real interest in helping people outside their own sphere.

I would love at this point to go into considerable economic and social arguments to prove my point, but I’m going to save writing that book for another day.

HOWEVER….what really scares me is UKIP, The following is from an article in the Daily Torygraph…..It details some of UKIP’s policies

A Legalise handguns

B US Style NHS (Having worked and studied in the States I’ve seen this system destroy people and entire families, remember, most insurance companies will not cover preexisting medical problems )

C Speak English on trains …….heaven help us.

D Blow up wind farms

E Make friends with Vladimir Putin

F Bar HIV positive people from the UK

The UK is a very small country that cannot stand on its own in the world anymore. We simply are not strong enough economically. Ok our pharmaceutical industry is impressive and we still feature on the world stage when it comes to our aeronautical industries .
However, the majority of our wealth, rightly or wrongly comes from the “city” if we leave Europe, most of this pre-eminence will disappear double quick to New York and Frankfurt….along with the vast majority of foreign investors. From the Mail “Nissan boss warns of leaving UK if we quit EU despite praising firm’s ‘blessed’ Sunderland factory”

To paraphrase the man who saved this nation almost on his own (HCTD) if this country leaves the EU it “will involve the final, complete and irremediable defeat of this country.”

Goodness only knows where we go from here. I believe virtually all our politicians are only interested in obtaining and maintaining personal power, position and through these two, personal wealth. They are only interested in themselves and short term individual gain.

I really do fear for the future.

Farewell is a lonely sound
thanks Jimmy……..

A public servant, on his way home from work in London traffic came

to a dead halt and thought to himself, “This is unusual.”

He noticed a police officer walking between the lines of stopped

cars, so he rolled down his window and asked, “Officer, what’s the hold-up?”

The officer replied, “The Prime Minister is depressed, so he stopped

his motorcade and is threatening to douse himself with petrol and set

himself on fire. He says no one believes his stories about the economy, or that his tax

cuts will help anyone except his wealthy friends, his position on Europe, getting thrashed in the bi-elections by UKIP,

reducing the military to a minor defense force and leaving a maritime nation without maritime aircraft and

starting the destruction of the NHS.

So we’re taking up a

collection for him.”

The public servant asks, “How much have you got so far?”

The officer replies, “About 200 litres, but a lot of people are still

siphoning.”

Well Jim…it makes a change from the banks and a number of financial institutions (ie pension companies)….where the managers perform dreadfully but get pots of money and pay rises whilst the workers get made redundant !

Its called capitalism…..it doesn’t work, it never has. It simply keeps a very small number of people very rich whilst everyone suffers to varying degrees.

And until we try something else….that’s just how its going to stay !

So…………you try and stimulate a debate with an interesting article form a right wing uk newspaper. And what do you get…..glib comments.
Try reading the whole paragraph…about second homes and the like.
