Subject: RE: BS: UK party conferences
i would guess most of us posting on here are too old and world weary to be zealots- and currently distressed and shell-shocked at recent developments. given that 9 out of 10 of europe's most deprived areas are in the uk and we are the most unequal society in the west i would be happy with some modest adjustments. like a proper respect for our public services for a start and an end to grand meaningless gestures like trident and hs2 eg. anyway, it is not much to ask that we scrap austerity , bit of re-nationalisation and an ethical foreign policy. anything that any well-run european country would expect as normal. we've gone a bit american when socialism is a dirty word.
