Great Shitain
Well at least one thing has cheered me up this week. I've been thoroughly enjoying watching New Labour disintegrate.
A big chunk of the party are now calling for Blair to step down, which he has no intention of doing. I know this guy well enough by now to tell you that he's addicted to power. Also, he's probably worrying about the fact that most of the population are growing increasingly horrified by the disaster in Iraq, an attitude that was reflected in the recent hammering Labour recieved in the local elections. He doesn't want to be remembered for that. But he will be. Sorry Tony.
Sad thing is the ones who want Blair out seem to want Gordon Brown in-a man who has spent the best part of two years sulking because Tony won't let him play at being PM. They think he'll be more left wing. Silly sods. PFI - the gradual sell off of our public services to profiteers- blossomed under Gordon Brown; an economic policy even further to the right than those of mad demon-bitch Margaret Thatcher. He's kind of vague about what he'll actually do once he's in charge, nothing at all to make me believe that he isn't just another power hungry egomaniac.
Even sadder is the fact that voters are turning back to the Tories. When they're not voting for the fascist BNP that is. Another fine display of gullibility from the great british public. Or a large enough chunk of it anyway.
I hate this fucking country.
No. I just hate the political system. We got rid of the monarchy as a ruling force but we are still ruled over by a wealthy elite with no real connection to the people they supposedly represent. We just get to choose our dictators every four years. These people will never have to use the NHS, will never have to rely on benefits to survive, will never have to work at minimum wage to stay above the poverty line- how can they be trusted to run these services?
