I'm Mad as Hell and I'm Not Taking It Any More

I've had enough, I'm cheesed right-off,  I'm as mad as Hell* and I'm not going to take it lying down any more.   I've been taken for mug for too long - but no longer.  Is that you too - feeling mugged by all and sundry by those you are supposed to trust?  My political standpoint is complicated but I am just one of the many disenfranchised folks in the UK, but in essence it is simple enough - give me somebody worthy of my vote and jail those who rip me off.

I feel let down and abused by all political parties - especially the Blair/Brown axis of cosying up to the bankers, spiv financiers, Murdoch etc, the breaking of the covenant with our troops, including spending and wasting all our money in their 13 years in power.   Brothers, what have you done with the money, where has it all gone?   Is it really true that the last two periods in power by Labour the rich have got richer and the poor have become more poor, whilst the gap twixt the two has widened, more than at any other time in modern history?   So much for them looking after the poor eh!   Is their Credo really 'Keep the Poor poor as they vote for us, why - because they're poor (stupid mugs)'.   Aspiration killers - certainly.  Wastrels and spend-thrifts, certainly.   There are none so blind as those who refuse to see - please stop voting for them.  I ask you how many working class Labour candidates do you see these days?  Posh boys/girls all on their front bench.

The Tories, oh dear, - the only good job they are doing is that of cutting their own throat.  They have scored more own goals than Jamie Carragher has scored 'for' Spurs than against Liverpool.  Dearie me, how could they not win the last election by a landslide - by being useless and incompetent that's how, whatever else could it be?   There is nothing joined up about their policies or actions, or is just the FibDems holding them back from implementing their polices in full and so making them look as stupid as they really are - just asking?   Pension reform - two tiers of pensioners is hardly fair - the right idea, but badly implemented  Child Credit, what an unfair shambles - can any reader think of a more stupid or unfair system- the right idea, but badly implemented.  Bedroom tax - just plain awful, so much for the family eh?  they have yet to show a vision for the future other than arbitrary cut after arbitrary cut - cuts for the sake of cuts as there is no plan B.  Earn £79Kpa as a family and your so poor that you still need child benefit, but have a small (say about £5K pa) private pension over and above a State Pension and suddenly your so rich that you can no longer have winter fuel payments or a bus pass in old age when you need them most.  No joined up thinking there then!  Let the poor stay poor, make the middle class poorer seems to be their new found creed.  I expect better.
