Trouble is im on my high horse about this fundin malarky now. Ever since the champange socialist took over the labour party we have effectively become a one party state. whatever colour rosette they wear they are self serving ex public school millionairs to a man.Its not much of a democracy when you can only vote for the same crap from any of them including ukip. I truly believe that its time to kick our outmoded political system into touch and introduce great brittain plc where as tax paying shareholders we get to vote in a chairman and board of directors If they do a good job then they should be rewarded, if they do a poor job they should be replaced.On the face of it I like the sound of GB PLC with elected chairperson & board of directors. However...... Wouldnt we end up with a foreign owned "company" like some of our strategic assets & utilities...Oh hang on a minute... Who does own our green & pleasant land!
Watched a program on TV recently about housing in London-apparently £10 million isnt unreasonable for a large house. So when all the reasonably priced housing has been snapped up for development what will happen to all the indigent Londoners working to service the needs of these oil sheiks, Russian plutocrats etc?
Where will the nurses, firemen,ambulance drivers in fact anyone on less than £50-£100k per annum might as well forget owning their own flat/house.
Of course this hasnt happened overnight-it all started with Thatcher & her cronies selling off the family silver- A few good (for some yuppies) years with unlimited growth of credit/lending using North Sea Oil reserves as "guarantor" for the process.
Personally, I believe we are "f****d as a nation and the situation is just one giant scramble to the top of the pile.
Where does our "wealth" come from nowadays-I dont have a clue.
The only hope for change rests with the electorate-What would happen if the majority voted Green or maybe noone voted at all-would we be stuck with these chinless wonders for ever? Theres no choice at present as already said Its Tory Boy, Pretend Tory Boy, New Tory Boy or Pretend Tory Boy.
Are these are only options in an electorate of possibly 40 million :eek
