Not only did you misspell Corbyn but somehow you typed Marxist when you meant socialist.
Sorry, communists.

Confusing Socialists for Marxists or Communists is common for fascists. Sorry, I meant Nazis. No, Tories, I meant Tories....

My word these political threads are tedious. Some people like Conservatives; some like Labour; some like Lib Dems; some like others. I know dickheads who vote Labour and dickheads who vote Conservatives and good people who vote Labour and good people who vote Conservatives. People are very intolerant of views that differ from their own it would seem.

I see various government agencies are starting to get a bit fretful about air pollution caused by cars/lorries etc.
Apparently about 40,000 people a year die prematurely due to ailments associated with this.... it's estimated that the cost to the NHS runs into 10's of billions.
Some of the worst offenders are apparently people on the school run, who sit outside the school with engines idling... children being particularly susceptible to the malign consequences of pollution. With this in mind, it is being proposd that there should be a spot fine for this offence.
In Swindon, you can see strategically placed air pollution monitoring stations, but you never hear about the results.... however go and sit up on Liddington on a still winter's day and you can see a layer of photochemical smog lurking over the town and stretching away down the VWH.
I don't suppose our two esteemed MP's give a shit mind.

There's another one of these big protests against austerity, the Tories and generally all that kind of stuff in London today, which is obviously generating a lot of tweets and what not.
Now, I'm probably generally on the same side of centre as most of these people, and don't generally hate the idea of protests against specific things, but what on earth is the point of this? We had an election less than a month ago, that was the perfect time to get rid of the governing party. Perhaps every single one of the people marching in London today campaigned hard against the Tories and if they did, fair play, but what, genuinely, is going to be achieved by going on a march with a bunch of people who agree with you with no real clear goal?
Maybe I'm missing the point.

Tend to agree there. Pointless in this context.

If you want to be politically active, then it should be more than just about knocking on doors, holding dull meetings in cold back rooms etc. A good demo is a way of raising spirits, showing that you're not alone in thinking and feeling the way you do. It can help recruit people to the cause, and a good way of meeting nice birds. Of course, it will make next to bugger all difference, further than at the moment the Tories know they're going to have to behave.
