Good Day to you all (New Year Podcast HERE. My computer blew up,
so limited as to what I can write. Nothing much seems to have happened
in the UK since I have been on holidays to Germania.
Firstly: HIGHLY Recommended: LUST, CAUTION (R18). Fantastic,
gritty drama about Chinese students in 1942 who believe in a cause,
and suffer the consequences. VERY good 157 minutes!!!
Back to Britain, Conservatives are rambling on about stupid ideas about
the welfare state (= how to successfully widen the gap between
rich and poor even further by cutting already low benefits).
And Labour continue to destroy the last bit of welfare state
that remains (by further PFI's and rubbish like that).
Why? Oh why does the population not go on a General Strike??
Everyone is so lulled in by the promise of money! We only
live once, so what are possessions? Nothing (you can't take
them with you!).
And at the next General Election: Don't just sit at home and
refuse to vote. Do the opposite: VOTE!!! This is you one chance
to really make changes! Vote Green or Socialist or ANY other
party but Con-Labour! The effect will be immediate! A 90%
turnout at the ballot box with both mainstream parties voted
out would be the solution and the impetus for them to rethink
they anti-social and anti-democratic policies! We are in danger
of turning into a Police State comparable to Germany in 1933/5.
There endeth my plea. :-)

So why is it that politicians go into politics? Is it because the genuinely want to help their fellow man, to improve the country, to feed the poor and needy? This is obviously not the case as they have had hundreds of years to do so and the country is slowly dissolving into a pile of rotting shit - 'scuse my French. The problem is that the more power crazed and greedy the politician is the more he forces himself to the top, treading on his fellows and you end up with a country run by such people. Just look at the amount of money that Blair thing is now getting, just for being what he is - and we all know what that is! There is little point in voting for a corrupt system which exhibits no essence of democracy, for voting for it gives it some value and acceptance. There is no accountability, no proportional representation, and there is not even ANY compulsion for any party to actually do what was in its manifesto and no compulsion for them to have a referendum should they wish to do anything which is not in their manifesto, such as illegally invading another country. The whole system is rubbish. A Prime Minister lies to parliament & lies to the people. What happens about it? Nothing. Does his party even throw him out? Thousands of people have died because of those lies, apart from David Kelly. The population is in danger because of the illegal war in Iraq and what happens to Blair? He gets an income of hundreds of thousands, is buying a nice big house in the country and NOTHING happens. No war tribunal, no stopping of pension. Nothing.
Vote for the system we have in this country? I think not.
