"Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"What is it with all you 'get out and vote' twonks?
This is what you have elected! 18 millionaires in a cabinet of 23 people.
How, in any way, shape or form, is that a representation of any class of British society other than the ruling one for fuck sake? It certainly isn't a random sample from the streets of Smalltown England.
So when you enter the booth what goes through your mind? "I'll vote for Ordinary Dave. He's a down-to-earth kind of fella" or perhaps you see your particular values and ideals more broadly associated with party dogma, Lib Dem say? Maybe your family have a long tradition with one party and you don't give it much thought?
Because whatever it was, you voted for a bunch of people for whom these sorts of cuts will have absolutely no impact whatsoever! They're millionaires stupid! And their mates! And their mates too!
Little Georgie Osborne telling us how the new government are, "Rolling up our sleeves, getting on with the job, working together in the national interest, delivering on our promises, getting a grip." T'riffic.
What he really means of course is, "The previous members of the ruling class bailed out the banks, we would've done the same. They ran the economy a particular way, we would've done the same. They got involved in two wars, we would've done the same. They would've made you pay the price for capitalism's crisis and now we will do the same."
Good job Britain! (And by 'Britain' I actually mean central and southern England.)

Isn't it scary how an election shows you the reality of the people we care so much about?
I like human beings but it's when they form a mass, a mainstream that they become a negative entity.
Like most European countries, the Uk certainly does not have a ture democracy. You can realistically vote for two parties who don't truly represent anyone and have given up ideology for the far more equitable "centre party angle".
In terms of the choice this time round, it was easy! But who actually knows what "regressive taxation" or fiscal policy means? What policies damage low or middle income earners more? Those that take income into account or those (such as the Tories) that are entirely regressive.
It's pathetic!
But in the end it's not the pollicies of politicians that decide an election but some old nannys' notion of "that's not a nice man". It is furthermore pathetic that the dolt Gordon Brown botched the election by saying that a bigotted woman was "a bigotted woman".
So I assume that you're not alowed to call a tree a tree if it happens to be a voter.
Personally the man grew in my estimation for a few seconds on that occasion.
The Millenium is great! You have the choice between Thatcherite and Thatcherite and can bang your head against what is "Distopia Now"
Disturbing pic when you take away his eyes.
