The scenario of Britain since 1997- todate.
« on: August 03, 2010, 11:51:39 AM »
New Labour were the new Thatcherites, designed to grab the vote of middle England, but with a few sweetners for the pensioners and the workers.

It is so easy for the British working man to be devided from his friends and work comrads, and to rebuke his fellows.

Thatcher knew it and succeeded in buying off many in the working classes, and in doing so, broke up and devided the country.

New Labour did nothing radical to bind our country together again, following Blair and Brown's premierships.

Now we have a coalition lead by the Tory's, the Lib-Dems are being buried, and how long with it last ?

We can rest assured that the rich will continue to enjoy massive riches, while the rest of us will be forced to endure cuts at local level on a massive scale, depriving us all of our vital services.

I think that many people at the bottom just don't feel empowered enough to try to change what goes on at the top and they feel emasculated when they see their political representatives selling out to the ones with the power.

Maybe that is just a normal human trait and we should expect it to happen, but sometimes I get heart-sick at the way the proletariat in Britain just take it and continue to keep taking it here.

Maybe we could do with a bit of that Gallic courage we see regularly displayed in France.

Indeed we could.
