You know what really pisses me off? The fact that Blair is gonna get into power again this year. Now, you all know that I am not even remotely politically-inclined, and there is a certain whiff of hypocrisy when someone like me holds forth on shit like this which they know nothing about, but this little fucker deserves to go. More than that, he deserves to go while being tarred, feathered, dipped in two stroke and lit on fire. All the while being flayed and raped by diseased asylum seekers wearing strap-ons. Anything good thats happened since he's been in no. 10 has either been a marginal improvement on an existing service, or simply not his idea. Most of the awful things he's done have similarly not been his idea, buthave been championed by him against any and all arguements to the contrary. The latest thing is this pensions scam. Basically, they're attempting to do away with the lump sum workers recieve when they retire (they claim they are reintegrating it into the ongoing pension, but as this in turn is being reduced, what this amounts to is moving this money over here, then vanishing it- hoping no-one notices) OR offer people the option of staying in work till 70(!) and in return offering them a similar package to what pensioners recieve now. What they won't tell you is the correlation between working longer and dying earlier (figures for which do exist), so any extra money you will be entitled to, they will recoup in saved pension when you shuffle off your mortal coil a few years after retiring.
Gill, as ever, described it to a nicety when she said 'they are now making us pay for our further education, pricing us out of the job market and fucking us in the ear when we reach old age' (or words to that effect).
My question is this. Is it any wonder no one can take the tories seriously anymore? Labour has become Conservative, insofar as they both seem to get fat by dicking the very people working to make the country function, which is pushing the tories further right. If I vote (and there's no guarentee I will) I will probably go for the democrats. Not because I agree with them or think that they will make a better job of running the country than those in power, or indeed because I think they'll win (they won't), but I'd never vote conservative and while blair is in charge, I'd sooner sodomise myself on a vibrating icepick than vote labour.
Power to the people.
Aido 'normal transmission should resume tomorrow' Potato.

Howdy pardner, s'just me being pedantic, but I believe that it's higher education we have to pay for, and the housing market we're being priced out of. Unless they're gonna make you pay to have a job... what kind of cruddy deal would that be?
