Although i have strong political views, I have no political allegiance to any of our parties here in the UK. I tend to agree and disagree with all parties on certain bits of their main policies. They are ALL in it for themselves and what started out as a working for the dirty masses, has turned into a selfish, self-promoting, fuck you jack, free-for-all.
i cant think of one politician who would last 10 minutes in a "proper" job. The amount of fuck-ups by this and past governments are, sadly, too many to list and would be laughable if not so serious in that they fuck up so many people's lives. The latest example of talking before you are fully awake has come from Yvette Cooper, cabinet spokes person for something or other (the treasury, i think) responded to the conservatives' announcement that they would, if they get to power, raise the threshold of Inheritance tax to £1m per person or £2m for a couple. ( currently set by Labour at £1/4M or there abouts) Yvette, I would like to think, in a state of panic (but it probably is down to straightforward idiocy), commented thus:
" It's just a tax break for millionaires". HELLO, you stupid bitch. If you pay no tax on inheritance under £1M; and therefore pay tax on £1M or over, it's a tax ON millionaires. How stupid can one person be? No need to answer that one, i know from experience.

I hear ya.
I USED to love to argue/talk about politics,but I am thoroughly disillusioned.
I don't even feel like voting in the next election,and I have never, ever missed a presidential election since I could vote.
I don't care anymore.Well, I do, but I have zero faith in politicians.
The majority are slimy and selfish, yup.
and if Barack Obama wins...some idiot will try to assassinate him,mark my words.
(Psychic Sue).
(sorry I had a typo...).
Hi Delbut!
Long time no see. I don't like politics either. I'm not voting for McCain or Obama, no matter which one of them wins, we're still gonna have problems and neither of them will keep their promises. Then again, if I were only allowed to choose between those two, I'd rather have Obama because if McCain wins and then dies because he's so old, Palin's gonna be the next president by default.
Looks like you guys have the same political crap as we have here.
Take care.
politicians are basically all liars.
Feel good......
Missing your blog, Del!

I know you are a busy dude...I know.
Happy 2009!!!
Big hug to you and your better half! :)
