Take A Proper Gander....

Most of the UK (OVER 60%) didn't vote for these charlatans, yet they were somehow shoe-horned in.  An independent fiscal body has declared that if the Tories go ahead with the extreme measures 14,000,000 will be worse off.  I think that most people want the economy to be sorted out, but this is both criminal and morally wrong, especially when you read the stats on what the Tories have been up to behind parlimentary doors.  Just to be 'back in the black.'

Just when I think the US is jacked up beyond repair, I find out it's no better there. Sorry you are having to deal with this crap.

Over in the US, politics appears to be about race and religion; in the UK it's about class and privilege. Old School Ties and whatnot. Think there is an elitist streak in most areas, but the UK takes the biscuit in this case.

It's so sad. Certainly we have the upper class here, but it's not as prevalent as it is there. In the end, it should be about who can do the best job, not who can bilk the government out of the most. I have a feeling that "Yes, Prime Minister" is closer to the truth than we in the US realize.

LOL - it was rumoured that he had becme to detest the UK so much, he was thinking of leaving it and move to the US. Anyhoo - Numan is a Tory supporter anyway, show appreciation of Thatcher when she was in power. Seems like my little electric god has feet of clay (or a head of clay - not sure which).
