Will we, the public, have to go down to 10 Downing Street and drag Gordon Brown out of his house in his pyjamas! Damn, we have voted out every Labour council in today’s limited elections - isn’t that enough?
He thinks he is the right man for the job. No, no, no! He’s not because he’s about as engaging as a brick wall - he’s as flat as a pancake. You get the idea right! He’s so in his own little world with his own little bunch of buddies that he might as well reside in one of the archaic towers of Oxford amongst the most obscure of academics. Damn, he’s almost so beyond us ordinary people he’s practically living up Everest! After all, he’s not smart enough for Oxford! No light bulbs on in his head!
He thinks he has the right team. To be honest, he has the same team as before with a few new names in obscure roles.
He talks of improving schools and the health service, bring us out of recession, etc. etc.
Well what can I say, classes in schools are bigger than ever, GCSE questions are so dumbed down a five year old can answer them and kids are carrying knives cos they think it’s cool (and they are using them!).
Health service - oh don’t get me started. Hospitals are filthy and it isn’t because of bad staff so much as not enough staff or the reliance on contracts - there’s no denying that Labour has done to the NHS what the Conservatives would have no doubt secretly loved to have done, i.e. privatised it! Trusts are full of managers and consultants carrying out this consultation and that consultation - bugger that, spend the money on cleaning, treating and operating thank you very much - we don’t need it all analysing just bloody doing.
Economy - it’s a global recession. True, but who followed Bush into the Devil’s mouth? Who was Chancellor? Who was pushing the boom and bust to the point that Maggie Thatcher looked tame? Aha, Gordon Brown. He won’t say sorry and he won’t discuss the consequence of having had to borrow so much that if this country was a business concern, the bank would have pulled the plug long ago. He’s advised us is go out and spend - sod that! Nothing has changed - the mentality is the same - if it’s failing, throw money at it, and if that don’t work, thow a committee, a quango and a load of spin doctors into the mix! We, the public, are not stupid!
I shall stop now but well, it is easy to rip New Labour to shreds especially when they seem to still think they are a leftish wing, semi-socialist party - er, nope! Imho, New Labour are proudly Thatcherite but alas not very good at it! They just haven’t cottoned on to it yet
ID cards, child databases, DNA databases - this is not a party for the people, caring for the people - this is a party that would have us all electronically tagged if it proved self-serving to them.
Am I angry? Am I so wrong in my ire? Perhaps, but imho, there is no such thing as Labour anymore and those working class who vote for Labour because they always have done should take a long hard look at their “people’s party” because they will probably find that the Liberal Democrats is more to their liking!
The point of this post, if anyone reads it - well, don’t vote for so and so because you have always voted for so and so. Parties change. Think before you place that cross.
The End
