Save the children is to start it's first UK appeal in it's history, so along with appeals for fresh water for m'bongo in Africa and Abdul in pakistan we can expect to see appeals for help for Tommy in tynside.
What an indictment of this government Hitler was a barsteward but at least he stood by his own people, we have a government in this country which despises it's own people , their scapegoating of the most vulnerable is sickening, they make thatcher look like mother Teresa.
We now have a situation were rogues are put on pedestals aka . Tony Blair and Co. the banks instead of being punished now have a cast Iron guarentee that they will always be bailed out no matter what, in effect their profits will be privatised while their losses will be socialised at the taxpayers expense, their own little social security net if you like, the rest of taxpaying humanity in Britain are warned that if they fall on hard times they can f. off and go to the nearest feeding station or food bank,

It's just the end of capitalism as we know it. It's all down to oil (or the lack of cheap oil).

How on Earth has this country Come to This.

Go look in a mirror.

You think the the banks were bailed out in some chummy underhand deal, no, it was to appease you, mr average voter who punishes any party that does not keep growth growth growth.

Not (edit) bailing out the banks would have meant a crash, then recovery, voters don't want crashes, then whine like little girls when the banks get bailed.

we have a government in this country which despises it's own people

We have a government which is spending more and more on social security than any time in history, and still getting vilified for not doing enough.

Voters, **** em.
