Hey, guys! Welcome to the Big Society! We’re all in this together. We all need to tighten our belts and pull together to get this fair isle out of financial woe…
That’s the official line, anyhow. I’ve been quiet about the “Government” of late because I am completely apathetic to it. Mainly because it is a government no-one actually voted for. It is a government that represents no-one and speaks for no-one. It is a bastardised attempt to hold onto power where compromise can be non-existant and those who are hungy to hold the reins of Great Britannia are those who prostitute their own ideals themselves.
Today, we have a great example of how the coalition can only ever fail. Vince Cable, poster boy of the Lib-Dems, has come out to say that he might abstain on the bill to increase student charges, despite himself being the architect of such policy. This is a political first and underlines the fact that those at the top of the Lib-Dem power souffle are those most willing to twist and turn like a twisty turny thing in order to appear right-on with the voters.
Yet they want to please David Cameron at the same time. How can they? How can they ship out their core beliefs while staring lovingly into Cameron’s doe-eyes and promises of an equal lick of the spoon yet appeal to those who voted them into third place at the same time? They can’t. And this is why the coalition is a waste of time and why the Lib-Dems are bankrupt as a political party. It really is game over for them and if anyone out there wants to waste their vote at any election by putting their cross by the Yellow Tories, they really deserve a smack around the head to knock some sense into them.
Meanwhile, WikiLeaks has been dribbling sensitive information all over the place like an incontinent terrier. One piece of information that caught my eye was the different ways Gordon Brown and David Cameron have handled the Gary McKinnon hacker case. El Gordo did the political thing by keeping it low profile and trying hard to negotiating a deal with the US in order that McKinnon, if found guilty, serve his time at home rather than being extradited.
On the other hand, that ratfink Cameron has basically thrown up his hands and said to the US authorities that McKinnon is guilty and they can ship him off whilst telling the Great British Public that he is working hard to get McKinnon freed. So the two-faced toe-rag is basically selling a British citizen out. No wonder the US don’t take him seriously.
