I'm old enough to remember the 70's Obelix, but I'm not able to recall it through the same political filter as you seem to.I remember jobs aplenty. Being able to leave one job on a Friday and find another by the following Monday was something we joked about. Skilled labour was something we were particularly good at. We led the world in engineering, marine and aeronautical skills. Thanks to the unions, we no longer had to tug the forelock to the works owner to beg permission to work for a pittance and without a thought for your safety or old age.Then what happened, wasn't anything to do with your petty inter-party politics. In fact, it was the opposite. It was the rise of the most vile creature yet. The modern career politician. When business adds money to politics, that's when it all goes to hell in a hand-basket.Where we are now is not due to one party or another, its due to career politicians simply taking their turn to make themselves rich under the guise of politicking. They lie, cheat, steal, make war, all for profit. The result is that's wrong with this country is rampant, unchecked Capitalism, or 'greed' as it used to be called. There isn't even a f*g-paper's width between the so-called parties.The whole system is broken, and no amount of voting, be it for Labour, Tory, Lib-Dem or the bloody Popcorn Party is going to help. Voting is something I have done at every opportunity since 1974. Not now though. I can no longer, in all good conscience, take part in what has become a circus. To watch a prime minister standing up in the House of Commons knowingly lying to the house so as not to admit his/party's failings, is beyond a joke. Way beyond.The next voting I'll do is with my feet. I'll gladly march to join others to bring down and replace this current state of affairs to a close. I'll do what I can to bring the real culprits to justice.I'll do what I can to help replace failed capitalism with something a lot closer to a participatory democracy. But vote? Naah!Viva la revolution!
Driving me bonkers this is. Mrs Tweedy, Caroline and Robinhood, I'll be proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you all.How the b****y h**l this 'somebody's Mother' gets all this treatment if waaay beyond me. I just heard one commentator describing how 'Sir' Mark Thatcher turned up early before the rest because, and this is an almost-quote, "He's an organiser."Organiser?? Actually, that's correct!He's a b****y organiser all right! In 2005 he was convicted and given a four year suspended jail sentence in South Africa in relation to the 2004 Equatorial Guinea coup d'état attempt.How's that for organising? I can barely organise my seed-box, never mind the illegal military overthrow of another country!Also organised, is his tax-free overseas accounts. Back in 2004 the Sunday Times estimated his wealth at £60 million, most of they suggested was in offshore accounts. He left the UK in 1986, and since then has lived in the USA, Switzerland, South Africa and more recently in Monaco, Gibraltar, Barbados, Guernsey and Spain. (Wiki)He's only Sir Mark Thatcher because his dad died and he inherited his title! Most people would have had their title stripped from them for just some of the stuff he's been up to. Never mind the arms deals and the rest.Still, all said and done, its our own fault for putting up with it all.If we cared. Even a small amount. We'd have heads on pikes at Traitors Gate and a clean sweep of the lot! Gnash gnash......

Actually, that's correct!I was there ...I lived through it...I saw friends into their graves because they committed suicide because of HER...she has 'FAMILY' 'RESPECT'...when the police charge you on horseback, when you are starved and losing your homesw...talk to me of 'RESPECT' then for the person responsible...for her....I HAVE NONE, for her simpering, sychophantic minor celebrity children one of whom only escapes South African jail for instigating a coup... I have NO RESPECT...for all of them whoi had JIMMY SAVILLE to XMAS dinner 10 years in a row...I HAVE NO RESPECT....for the bised MEDIA, BBC and the ratbag TORIES who are decimating this country I HAVE NO RESPECT!....If you got this far ALLOTMENTERS... remember this it was the working classes , and miners in particular who set up and maintained allotments...when the working classes were decimated by HER the allotments were slowly but surely sold off and dissappeared, and now there are waiting lists....WAKE UP PEOPLE for pity sake WAKE UP!He's a b****y organiser all right!

I I am wondering if it will also be a day for slipping some bad news by us, hoping we will not notice.
