So,

This government is full of people who stood so they could shaft people and get richer at the expense of those getting poorer.

Quite.

By using my money to provide affordable housing to 42 families, I am a bastard.

Quite.

Make sure I am first against the wall come your glorious revolution, because if I am still around when decent people realise you are as bad with your tinpot revolution, I don't want to be the one crowing "I told you so."

Every Lenin has his Stalin.

There are huge issues around health and well being, social deprivation and huge pockets of uncertainty for many many people. In fact, in some ways, nobody is unaffected. However, whinging and rattling on about stopping every idea a government comes up with helps nobody. In case nobody noticed, the issues are here now, and the government's ideas haven't started happening yet.

So, how the hell is this incompetent government guilty of causing a bad situation when they haven't even started yet? If you argue for the status quo, as I see it, you are arguing to keep the present inequalities, the real pain of many people...

Like I said, such arguments get marginalised come elections and quite so. Even Bliar had to woo the decent normal citizens in order to get power. he could never have done it on failed utopian socialist dogma.

In case you hadn't noticed, every MP, good bad or bloody awful, was elected by getting more votes than the next person. Also, why are people indignant about election promises? No government has stuck to them yet, so what makes this lot stand out as being particularly bad in your eyes? Oh, envy disguised as social justice. Sorry, I forgot.

I voted Labour just out of interest. I have a lot of time for the sitting MP, have won and lost debates with him over healthcare and can deal with him. hence he got my vote. The Tory candidate stuck to the Osborne script and as I have said before on these threads, I do not share his faith in the strength of a private sector led recovery. The private sector relies too much these days on the public sector.

Happy days can be here again, and the upturn in new car sales, brewery conglomerates, retail property, air travel etc means some people are trying to help the economy rather than stifle it. If your own happy days aren't here yet, it doesn't give you the right to moan about those who are getting on with enjoying the recovery. The taxes on their spendings are needed if a government's social program is to do anything at all.

I don't particularly like this Prime Minister, but on this I agree with him that if you talk up a recovery, it stands more chance of happening than if you are morose, dour and glass half empty.
