Subject: RE: BS: Blind stupidity - TUC Congress
Well I've never been a masochist. I don't believe I should take the beating for someone else's mistakes and folly. I don't blame others when life goes wrong for me and I don't expect others to pay for my mistakes. This is what it really boils down to. Mis-management by highly paid, greedy people both in government of all political colours and big business. Quite frankly why should any of us that have nothing to do with this mess be forced to pay for their mistakes and greed?

So John, this comment is a left wing backlash iand it is about portioning blame and consequence.

Left to me, I would strip those to blame of their assetts and give them £65 a week to live on as they expect others to have to do. I would make the price of failure by these people so high so they would have to walk round the streets with sack cloth and bells and oh yes, I would give their houses to Roumanian Gipsies. Hows that for knee jerk? Ah yes,I would publically flog Bliar.

And as Kendall said and we ordinary people should remember the only freedoms we have in this country (and his)have been fought for by ordinary people, many times with their lives over hundreds of years. How long before common man got the right to vote? How long before women got the right to vote? How long before holidays became statutory and eventually paid leave? Were it not for trade unions then wages would remain at pitifully low levels. The houses we live in would be tied to the jobs we do and children would still be sent down the pit. You are a Scot John, do you really believe you should pay homage and fealty to the Laird?

The trade unions have done much that was wrong and worse is the hypocrasy of the leadership that sends people out on strike and still takes full pay but unless ordinary people stand up and say we should not pay for the mistakes of others. We are not here to fund your indulgent lifestyle and provide benefits for your comfort whilst you carry on ripping us off, what else are we to do?

Before anyone shouts that the country is full of benefit cheats, immigrants and scroungers (As made centre of the hate campaign by the media) I know much is wrong, however this government is not the cure and it, like previous ones does not address the cause.

You got any savings? Not worth a lot are they? You get a pension? Isn't worth much is it nowadays? Like the cost of fuel and food as it is? Make the most of it because if you think it is expensive now, it'll go sky high in January when the VAT increase kicks in.

In conclusion to this leftish doctrinaire rant. I'd sooner spend my taxes helping some unfortunate who has lost their job than give another penny to some rich, undeserving scumbag to waste on their champagne lifestyle.

Nobody voted for a Cameron Clegg party.

OK?
