Charity Begins at Home

I find this insulting. The UK is one of the top givers in the world to charities and this current shower of shit parading as our government are responsible for at least a half a million people losing their jobs with no realistic similar replacement available and yet they want us to give more money, use more technology to do it, because they don't feel we do enough...


There is a feel of sense about this, but with threats to NHS budgets and cuts in staff, isn't the timing just wrong?


Presumably Phil Woolas's statements about his LibDem opponent were personal rather than about her policies, because if he can be stripped of his seat by an electoral court over lying about his opponent's politics in his election literature, then every single Lib Dem should lose their seats because they lied through their teeth. Presumably he made personal attacks, because if he suggested that she would change her entire political ethic for a whiff of power, then he didn't lie at all, did he?

The Oldham East and Saddleworth by-election should have one result, a resounding protest vote against the coalition. I don't care who gets elected (The Green Party would be preferable if Labour don't walk it) as long as the voters avoid voting for the coalition in droves. I would like a message sent to Cameron and his bitch that people do not like the policies or the way they are doing things.

Let us all hope that 2011 isn't going to be as bleak, unforgiving and horrendous as many of us believe it is going to be...
