And I'm probably a little older. However, I do have a concern for my fellow man, and abhor the seemingly inevitible injustices of life which always result in the little man getting the shitty end of the stick. There is no inconsistency there. Some make the mistake of confusing this with socialism, whereas I see it as just common decency irrelevant to party line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-39708727359126884902010-06-22T01:51:54.909+01:002010-06-22T01:51:54.909+01:00'Ave you been fucking with the size of people&...'Ave you been fucking with the size of people's noses in that photo?<br /><br />I only ask because SamCam's schnozz looks like a tapir. Actually they all do.<br /><br />As to what we can and cannot afford I can only direct you to the Maximum Imbecile, the member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, as and when he can be arsed to show up in the mother of Parliaments when he isn't hiding behind 'I'm not an utter-fucking-nutter-hiding-from-my-missus-and-the-good-verbal-kicking-that-is-the-least-of-my-dues-as-leader-of-the-opposition.<br /><br />Except I'm not. Because as well as being bravely elected PM after sticking the knife into the last PM I've bravely scuttled off to sulk in Kirk-Fucking-Caldy, Fucking Fife,Fucking Scotland, Most Barren, Uninhabitable Part of the UK by some fucking distance. <br /><br />Same school you and I Ishmael. Maybe only 10 or 15 years apart. This would count for something if we were Labour, Conservative, Liberal ruling class but like Portillo and Abbot who went to the same grammar school I detect wildly divergent ideology.<br /><br />Not that I have an ideology. I cannot condemn Dave or Nick - despite their St-Cakes background - for a number of reasons. But the main one being that they have been handed an utter clusterfuck by the Maximum Imbecile.<br /><br />Thatch famously, to the derision of students of maths and even Dickens stated that economics was, at its heart, very simple. Spend less than you earn.<br /><br />We have endured 13 years of squandering idiocy and now we must, well, be grown up about it. We can't keep pissing away money like this. <br /><br />We must cut services, cut public sector pay, increase taxes. Perm any one of three. Or, more accurately, three of three so badly fucked are we.<br /><br />We must, in short, behave like adults - and certainly not like the Brendan-Behan-alcoholic-at eight Brown and his squandering addiction.jgm2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-85435270467999788752010-06-19T14:22:31.100+01:002010-06-19T14:22:31.100+01:00What a sad state of affairs.
