Subject: RE: BS: No longer Great Britain?
Discussing the merits of "the new govt", or any govt is waste of time in the situation we now find ourselves.

Our standard of living and public services are going to be attacked whoever is in power and as usual the very poorest are going to be worst affected.

The number one priority for the political classes is to get the economy reset, any suffering involved will nor affect the rich too much.

The oft repeated cry of "were all in this together" makes me sick

If you're in work, with £100'000 in the bank, does the loss of a tenner a week mean as much to you as some poor bastard on the dole?

To make our economy sustainable nowadays, politicians and bankers have to gamble.....with our tax money, and as everybody knows gamblers always lose!

If we as a nation, are to suffer hardship, it should be in the cause of a completely new social and economic system, not to reset the failed and rotten old one.
