The current Con-Dems are simply taking Thatcherite policies to their logical conclusion. After the decimation of the nationalised industries and the virtual destruction of our manufacturing base, the current Tory government is now directing it's energies to the complete dismantling of the welfare state.

The Conservatives despise the welfare state, and they will not be happy until it's replaced completely by private sector alternatives; alternatives that are driven soley by the bottom line and have commitment to the betterment of society in any way. This is a disaster of huge proportions and whilst we can rightly blame Cameron et al for their lack of moral responsibility in abandoning the fight for genuine equality in society it's impossible to argue with the fact New Labour are also responsible for bringing this disaster on the country as their pathetic inability to regulate the financial markets (or indeed the fact they courted them) have only added to the yawning gap between the very rich and the rest of us.

And its' the very rich in charge again now - expect no quarter when it comes to making sure their interests are protected and nurtured, at whatever cost to the rest of us. Don't believe me? Their green credentials are a sham, as is demonstrated by the latest proposals to sell off some of globally important wildlife reserves as DEFRA faces 40% cuts. Who's heading the review on public spending cuts? Arch-wanker in non-dom residence Sir Philip "I pay less tax than my cleaner" Green, a man for whom the phrase 'reprehensible piece of shit' is an apt but understated description. This man will be deciding on the care and welfare of some very vulnerable, a risk people, and we know he doesn't give a shit about that sort of thing(after all, he didn't want to fulfil his responsibilities and contribute taxes to help pay for them as the rest of us do).

And what of the Lib-Dems in all this? A complete joke. They've made themselves unelectable for a generation at least.
