OK. Right.
I am so very fucking tired of the government of the United Kingdom Of Chavs And Fuckwits.
They can't even stand firm on a fucking smoking ban. IRELAND managed it. DUBLIN IS SMOKE FREE! DUBLIN! If Dublin can be smoke-free, London certainly can. But no, New Labour has let us down once more and come up with a 'third way' that is ineffectual, pointless and smacks of everything that is wrong with these fools and madmen.
They don't like making decisions. They don't like risking anything that might be unpopular with someone, so they do something so weak and feeble that they annoy all of us.
They don't like being disliked or unpopular, so they do a piss-poor version of 'doing something', which is a bit like Bobby Davro doing an impression of Frank Spencer. It sounds OK, but there's nothing there.
It's been like this every day since May 1997, when some of us foolishly voted these people in because they were better than the other option. Now, I'm a fan of irony, but discovering we voted against the Conservatives only to find ourselves lumbered with a Conservative in socialist's clothing.
Everything, since day one, has been smothered and couched and disguised in smart-sounding language that rings as hollow as Cherie Blair's soul would if you smacked it with a triangle beater.
It's all about the style because they do not, repeat do not and never have had the content.
I'm not saying everyone in the Labour government is a fake, but I don't remember seeing any socialists lately. Labour was founded and continued and flourished because some of us want everyone, rich and poor, to have a chance. Labour gave us a National Health Service, among other things. Labour was the party that actually cared about people.
I suppose the fact that Blair and Brown hammered out their plans for leadership over sundried tomatoes in an Islington bistro says it all. In this way, they've lied to us in the most grevious way. There are so many people in this country that care about the rest of it that they couldn't face ticking a different box when it came to the elections since 97. They couldn't bear the thought of not voting Labour, because like me, they believed it might get better. It might get back to the way it was meant to be.
It won't. Labour can't even decided on a smoking ban or not, settling on some stupidity in between, so how can they save their party and what it once so proudly stood for.
And amongst all this, they're trying to destroy the parts of the education system they haven't yet fucked about with. This is from the Prime Minister's own website:
Self-governing Trusts? City Academies? Choice Advisers? 'meaningful'? Are you taking the piss? New Labour is the dictionary definition of MEANINGLESS!
They're fools and fuckwits. No wonder Blair gets on so well with Dubya Shrub.
Don't we deserve better than this? Never before has this avatar been so useful.
