IDS is a liar,
Boris is a clown,
Cameron’s a hypocrite
and Gove just gets me down.
They’re bickering on the EU
with many an absurd claim,
they’re ruining our country
and giving Europe the blame.
Hunt should have a capital ‘C’,
Nicky Morgan is a dunce.
Can I vote out of Westminster?
And find sanity for once?
On the subject of finance, our politicians seem to think it's
OK to contribute billions per annum beyond our shores -
money that would be better spent here at home. By all
means take up the cudgel for what they do not do for
their own people/constituents here in the UK and strike
out on behalf of the needs of those less able or willing.
But bear in mind, the connection and obligation involved
that takes so much of our money away from where it
might do most good.
Thank you, Phil, for your kind words, much appreciated and glad you agree.
Cheers, Steve, Trevor and Jemima.
Lynn I fully agree... you've challenged an important subject and done it justice. Which is more then the schoolboys running the coin try have done for people in desperate need.
With you all the way...
And nor do I think that your appropriate comments regarding Europe should be an opportunity for Euro enthusiasts of any colour to play "in" or "out" games in these comments.
That... distracts from the truth you are trying to show!
There are lots of things that make me uneasy or queasy, MC, one of them being TTIP. But for all the faults of the EU, I don't think it makes my observations wrong.
IDS and Chris Grayling are being sued by the Black Triangle group in Scotland for wilful neglect of thousands of sick and disabled people, resulting in hundreds of unnecessary deaths. This court case has only recently come about because proof has materialised that they were warned by coroners to review the work care assessments 4 years ago, but no review ever took place, and the practises and deaths continued as before.
This is without the fact that the UK government is being investigated by the UN for the grave and systematic violation of human rights for people with disabilities.
There is no justification for any of this. Even for those who believe austerity is necessary, that idea should have been blown apart when the Chancellor in the last budget expected the sick and disabled to fund huge tax cuts for the wealthy.
Employment for the disabled has not improved either. In fact, it has worsened. You may remember that the Tories closed many Remploy factories. It is also true that no current employers can be told who they will employ when there are large numbers of fit and able bodied unemployed people willing to work.
The amount of cover-ups and corruption already in this country are astonishing. But to a large extent the bulk of the media is controlled by the government.
Lynn - make the most of being able to criticise our UK
politically employed. It is called freedom of speech.
You are probably not aware that it has been reported
that on the 6th May the European Court of Justice
ruled there is no right for anyone to complain about or point out the failings or wrongdoings of the European
Commission - giving the EC the right to punish "individuals who damage the institution's image or reputation".
It has also been pointed out that the "Enabling Act of
1933" allowed free speech to be abolished in Germany...
a freedom not restored until the end of WW2.
Uneasy/queasy anyone?

I understand your theory, MC, but the government would have to completely change its ideology before the needy would actually get what they need.
Tory Eurosceptics probably want out of Europe so that they can treat the public even worse, and give the wealthy even bigger tax cuts.
But as usual, I expect it is better we agree to differ.
