While the "Big Society" was an inherently evil plan for government to evade its responsibilities and piously hope others might pick them up. now even the parts of the bill that gave charities a reasonable chance to get contracts when faced by for profit enterprise competitors are being filleted

Thanks for these threads Richard. I don't always agree with what you say but,as a Brit living abroad, I find it very useful to find out what is happening in the UK. Scary, but useful.

It looks as if the UK government are going down the same route that the USA have gone - very little in the way of safety nets for the worst off and devil take the hindmost attitude from the fat cats.

Here's hoping the 'quiet revolution that seems to be just starting takes off in a big way.

I too am puzzled why you keep up these anti-Tory rants up, Richard. Those of us who detest the Tories as much as you do know very well what they are up to - but you're never going to convince people with an 'empathy deficit', like 'Bluesman'.

As I said in another thread a better use for your time would be to help make Labour electable again. But then Labour and its supporters never listen - which is part of the reason why they lost the last election ... and let the Tories in ...

Following intervening events, please now redirect discussion regarding this thread here – to my original "Nobody likes a Tory" thread - thread.cfm?threadid=140808#reply

It will save multiple postings of the same objections to criticisms of conservatism.
