So many reasons to despair, so many reasons to be angry; smug Tories cheering yet more restrictions on the poorest in the land; smug Tory politicians pandering to the baser instincts of the electorate; a smug Tory newspaper trying to denigrate a dead man in an attempt to smear his son. Ironic when that paper's former owner applauded Hitler. Then we have the Tories attempts to beatify Margaret Thatcher when they were the ones to sack her!
We truly live in a world where our leaders believe that Downton Abbey is a documentary - they still believe in a ruling elite where birthright and inherited money qualifies one for leadership. Which is why we have so many idiots in power; people who think that something should be so just because they think it. The problem is that here are too few public servants left to unscramble this muddled thinking and we are the poorer for it.
Since the Tories took over (I discount the Libdems, as do most people) we have seen a steady decline in all our public services and the inability to defend our country. I just hope that the Tories never get their wish that the NHS gets dismantled as - I really don't feel that it is safe in their hands. I also remember of of the biggest lies in politics, "There will be no top-down reorganisation of the NHS". I wonder who said that.
