Here come the cuts

[Lumps]

Labour have fucked this country raw and any cuts that take place are necessary after the excessive, credit card style spending spree Brown and Blair undertook at our country's expense. We need a kick up the arse and a wakeup call.

If we had someone who ran the country with an ounce of business sense, then we wouldn't be in this fucking state dependent mess. Councils and governmental bodies need to be taught how to save money and cut the fat, then be rewarded accordingly.

As things stand spending is encouraged at all levels and hitting your budget is rewarded. It's disgusting how much money is simply wasted. Cuts are needed, bigtime.

 

This was meant to be a joke right?

[Doore]

I hope Council's don't cut the fat.  I have a family to support.  Cut the skinny instead.

I cant understand why people think that changing from Labour to Tory every few years is ever going to change anything. It's obvious (to me anyway) that none of the cunts elected to parliament actually run the fucking country.

Whoever is in government, Labour or Conservative, they inherit the same departments in Whitehall etc that actually do the day to day stuff and effectively run the economy. Very few of them ever change despite who is in power.

Same goes for the staff and officials in No 10 and 11 Downing St etc; Gordon Brown yesterday, David Cameron the next. Down with anything Red, and up with anything Blue. Business as usual while the great unwashed live in hope that the new lot will sort everything out.

Politicians come into power and start talking bollocks on TV and radio about how bad the last lot were and how much pain the public are going to have to take to get things right again, and the public just accept it.

The Torys are giving it the big one now about 13 years of labour incompetence and accusing them of spending money like water, and the public are buying it, yet again. It's just pure fucking theatre designed to keep the powerbase where its always been and where it always will be.

I dont have the answers or an alternative to our adverersarial political system, but hoping that a new era of prosperity is going to happen off the back of politicians talking bollocks is just fucked up.

My advice it to look after yourself and your own in this recession. The government dont give a fuck about you. Never have.

Im bang up for some riots

But it's their turn though. Labour have had 10 years or so of fucking up the country, now the Tories get 10 years or so to fuck it up a bit differently. And they've got their little friends in to help them this time, too. Don't be so mean

Are you French?

[Samdy Gray]

Are you French?

I think you're getting rioting confused with striking and/or surrendering.

[No Longer Posh Red]

I think you're getting rioting confused with striking and/or surrendering.

Haven't they just started rioting (again) because the French government want to raise the retirement age to 62?

That said, they are also good at the things you said, as well as blockading (roads, ports, supermarkets)

[Barry Scott]

This was meant to be a joke right?

No. It's just not an opinion you like or that supports your views. We're all different.

[Mexicano Rojo]

so lehman bors. and the banking system royally fuck the global market, but its ok we can stop incapacity benefit and raise the age of pensions.

Its not a fucking war on poverty we need its a war on greed.

This will probably just be dismissed as propaganda because it's written by a left-wing journalist in The Independent, but fuck it, I think it's worth sharing:

As for Labour "pissing away" all that money: nice new hospital you've got there in Swindon.

This is surely true....and let's be clear....Labour were re-elected twice.  Of course that is partly because the Tories were in complete meltdown and couldn't have goverened a nursery class in Hartley Wintney; but they also fulfilled a number of their promises for major social reform (e.g the minimum wage) which have made a considerable difference to the lot of some of the poorest - despite all the clamour made by employers.  Increased public spending is part of the raison d'etre of Labour, and if we didn't like it, we could very easily have voted them out, and even when eventually did in 2010, it was hardly decisive!  Having said that, I too wish we could find an alternative to the endless red v blue rubbish - it means practically nothing these days.  I would like to think the Coalition might change things in that sense, but actually at the moment it seems like the Lib Dems are being walked all over where it matters; and up here, where the LDs are very strong, it is all going down like a lead balloon!!

That's everything accounted for then!
