The Late Baroness Thatcher...........

So Thatcher is dead.......

Well, I know a lot of people thought her a wonderful person........

But IMO, good riddance to bad rubbish.

I wouldn't have pissed on her if she was on fire.

Yet my feelings have surprised me, well the depth of my dislike anyway.

After all, she did some good didn't she ?

Well, again, IMO, no.

Today, people moan about the high cost of utility services, like gas, electricity, water, telephones, etc etc.

Thatcher sold them off. She sold all of "the family silver" off. And if anyone were to tell me that one of the right leaning think tanks hadn't suspected such a scenario as the one we currently live in here, I'll happily call them a fucking liar.

People moan about the lack of social housing, as it's now known. Of course, it was the old cow who sold it off, telling the former owners i.e. the local authorities, that they couldn't build more with the monies made from the sale.

Of course they couldn't. That would have completely screwed up her efforts at social engineering wouldn't it.

If you look at the majority of her policies, they saved enough money to buy votes by way of tax reductions etc, but have gone on to cost us all much more.

The current arse hole is no different. If he can't privatise any of the last remnants of state owned goods and/or services, he's doing his best to meddle with them so some of his parasitic "mates" can get their snouts in the trough too.

To cap it all, the fucking PM is trying to trump up enough enthusiasm to provide the old cow with some sort of pseudo state funeral. Something along the lines of what Diana or the Queen Mum had.

Well if I can work out how to complain about that I will. If the Tories want to pay for such an event out of their own pockets, or even some sort of public subscription, then that's fine, but to use tax payers money in any way, shape or form, I consider the misuse of public money.

The old bitch will have bled us dry during her life, while she was busy fucking the country up by any way she could, so she could get her way, so why the hell should she be able to have one last visit to our pockets in death ?

She's proving as divisive in death as she was in life.

Welcome to the Jungle ?

So todays media are going on about how it's the first day of "Cameron's society" and that how it's a 21st century of Thatcherism.

Ha! they're probably right.....

So many of the current priministers policies seem to confirm that "they" (the conservatives/tories) are indeed, the nasty party.

They seem to want to do anything that benefits the whole of society, even if the main beneficiaries are the lowest and/or poorest members of society, on the cheap.

If it's something that's too politically sensitive to close down or reduce, like the NHS for example, they aim to make sure that their people/followers, can get a slice of the cake.

Or they do things like remove a whole area of levels where the ordinary "man in the street" can no longer get help via "legal aid". It seems that they don't like the way that lawyers have managed to manipulate the scheme to their own ends, but also how the legal fraternity have managed to get themselves into a position where they're one of the most, if not the most, powerful trade groups within society today. So while they can't change too much, they can change things enough, so that while the politicians seem to thing that the lawyers are getting to big for their boots, they can reduce things down so that the lawyers can only get most of their business from "paying customers".

Maybe my thinking is a bit muddled to get my point across clearly, but it still seems, that whether they have some input from their coalition partners, the Lib Dem's, that the tories are still the party of "fuck you, I'm all right". The libdems who have managed to get positions of control within government are just power hungry glove puppets. Traitors to their ordinary members.

As far as I can see, the only good tory, is a dead one ! Parasites one and all. Even though it's everyones right to be one. I just don't have to agree with them, even down to the choice of biscuits at the next "meeting".......

And "he" was a republican.......

Hum? Not far off the truth.....

“Don’t be deceived when they tell you things are better now. Even if there’s no poverty to be seen because the poverty’s been hidden. Even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which industries foist on you and even if it seems to you that you never had so much, that is only the slogan of those who still have much more than you. Don’t be taken in when they paternally pat you on the shoulder and say that there’s no inequality worth speaking of and no more reason to fight because if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their marble homes and granite banks from which they rob the people of the world under the pretence of bringing them culture. Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they’ll send you out to protect their gold in wars whose weapons, rapidly developed by servile scientists, will become more and more deadly until they can with a flick of the finger tear a million of you to pieces.”

Those words were written by Jean-Paul Marat in the latter part of the 18th century, but they are still so true that they could have been written today. Marat (1743-1793) was a physician, political scientist, journalist and one of the more radical leaders of the French Revolution.

Democracy ?

defined as

Noun

1. A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
2. A state governed in such a way.

Ok ? Does that make sense ?

If not, it's about wanting to be able to know what actually occurs in the "halls of power". To have a formal, written constitution and accompanying "Bill of Rights".

Sort of similar to how government is run in the US. I mean, I don't think that the US is the best example of how to run a government, but their constitution and bill of writes are, to my mind, about one of the best or at least a better way of "managing" a nation. Especially, one that purports to be a democracy.

Whereas, to my way of thinking, this one isn't.
