It's become a knee jerk for to blame one government to blame the other side for the state of the economy in Britain when, in fact, there is little to choose between them - parliamentary pilitics has become a matter of maintaining a system that is increasingly failing to serve the interests of the British (Irish and American) people - a corrupt and incompetent banking system and subservient politicians who are part of that corruption and incompetence.
The total absence of rational policies by the present Government is it's intentions to take up Thatcher's (the nearest Britain has ever come to electing a fascist to run the country) insane policy of selling council houses to tenants (turning homes into commodities) - talk about asking turkeys to vote for Christmas!
