election 2015
I'm sick right now, so I'm done being PC.
Our election 2015. Too close to call huh? No, apparently people are too cowardly to admit who they're gonna vote for.
Oooh yay five more years of austerity! What the HELL is wrong with people?! Do you LIKE pain?! It's like being a Christian Scientist with Appendicitis.
Why elect someone who is so stupid he's friends with a convicted criminal (who Cameron was warned MANY times not to hire) AND a racist, sexist idiot who punches fellow co-workers - but hey he's a funny, rich, paunchy none guy so cut him so slack.
Please for the love of God SPN, please give Cameron and co hell because no one else has the backbone to.
Maybe if Cameron looses Scotland that'll piss people off; the first prime minister to loose the UK, or maybe when the NHS is slowly privatized piece by piece behind a back door, or when the rich get richer and avoid more tax (because it's not illegal, so calm down darling), or more people WITH jobs using food banks or having benefits because their employer won't give them a living wage or when no one wants to train or become a teacher because of Gove, or people don't want to be GPs or work in the public sector, because we're all greedy bastards with golden pensions or our best and brightest actually *leave* because they don't want to live here. That is NOT a strong economy, it's smoke and mirrors. A lot can be covered and hidden - like raising the compulsory school age to 18 - that cuts down unemployment, as do zero hour contracts, or people forced to start their own business because they can't find a job, or people to ashamed to sign on after being made redundant.
What makes people think for ONE SECOND the Tories give a damn about the average person. What are they going to do about food banks? About zero hours contracts? About having a living wage? The soaring cost of gas/electricity companies? They have no idea how the ordinary person lives most have been born into privelrge and while I do not hold that against them, no one has control of their upbrining, it leaves them desensitised to real life. Most of us worry of bills, rent, childcare costs, caring roles for elderly parents, loosing our jobs, petrol prices, gas prices, climate change, crime…please tell me how millionaires have to worry about those things? And because they somehow manage to visit factories with a winning grin and lay a brick on a house - that earns your vote?!
I'm not blind to labour or lib dems multitude of failings and believe me I'm pissed with them too, but really, as a nation we're actually going to go with Cameron, Osbourne, May, Gove...that's the best we can do? That’s what we think we as a nation deserve - what our children, friends, family deserve> These are going to be our guiding light in making Britian Great again. Because I'm guessing everyone knows that Obama doesn't really care for Cameron and virtually everyone in Europe doesn't, but hey we ruled an Empire once - we still have power! *snort*
Most people bleat that we need a strong economy etc etc in this country, the Tories are NOT going to give us that. Their loyalities and interests lie in business and each other. They value profit. They pit groups against each other - we are supposed to blame the unemployed, the benefit scrounger, the public sector worker, the immigrant…everyone but the actual people in charge. Does anyone remember the bankers crisis? The expenses scandal - most of which were Tory MILLIONAIRES who charged US for cleaning their fucking duck ponds!
It's very easy to sneer at liberals. We're dismissed as not being grounded in reality - we want completely open immigrantion, we hate business, we hate profit, we hate the rich, we want to get rid of all weapons and dance around giving out flowers. That's NOT what I want. I want to have control of our borders - we are an extremely over-crowded country, our resources are strained to the limit. We need to invest in new defense to deal with new threats and I don't believe Trident is it, no necluear weapon is. Austery is a false concept which rich people have made up to make them even richer, which has worked brilliantly for them.
Sadly, people will only wake up when they or their family are suffering the consequences of joblessness or life threatening illnesses they can't be treated for. But hey, nevermind, as long as we have a' charismatic' leader. And don't even get me started on what the hell these people's definition of charisma is. Why are we still fooled into thinking an election is anything like a beauty/popularity contest?
We have a government that has virtually no female respresentation, and I do not count May. She's fucking nasty and cold, not to mention she seems to have real issues with anyone having civil freedoms.
These are the guys who are tap-dancing now they have a chance to do all the cuts they really wanted to. Thanks Britain. The next five years are going to be utter shit for pretty much everyone except the 1%. Really great. judgement there. Bravo.
Why the HELL do the voting public think the Tories care about you or the 'working family'?! Or are you addicted to pain and suffering? What do you expect them to do? Magically solve the debt and deficit that we've probably had for over 2000 years? The tories can't solve our problems with debt etc, and aren't really interested in it. A lot of our problems - debt, immigration, the NHS, climate change etc need long term multi-party solutions and that simply won't happen.
What do you think the tories will do for you? Actually regulate the banks? Stop huge companies from exploiting workers? Ban zero hours contracts? Allow you to have huge profits? Represent you if you're not rich, male, wealthy, hetro and Christian? Make us a respected world power again? Stop terrorism? Stop immigration? Help you become wealthy? Give everyone jobs? Make everyone dance round a fucking may pole?
So thank you, thank you so much everyone who voted tory. You've royally, completely fucked up our country even more.
