Villan,
One more thing.

A reason you gave fro saying 'the government was dragging us into poverty' was


From: The Villan - PM

Well I, like a lot of other people are struggling to survive with all the infaltionary costs etc.



Well, actually two things.

The prime minister is not your personal financial advisor, bank manager, or careers advisor.

Ditto a 'lot of other people'.

He's running the country i.e. trying to do the best for the country, just like Thatcher was, and rather a lot of people suffered then, too.

Just spend a short while imagining you are PM. Imagine what factors you take into account, and what information and sources you would have to have, in order to decide on your actions. And how much you would be in dilemmas where acting one way or another would equally lead to s o m e o n e suffering, and even not acting leading to someone suffering.

What do you do whereby whatever you do, there'll be losers?




The other thought is, if you are suffering financially, read Teribus's recent posts where he's telling us what to do if things aren't going well.


    best wishes, Villan
