I’m not one of those people who think voting Tory at the upcoming general election is a good idea. I really don’t see that much difference between the people on the Tory side now and those who got kicked out in 1997. On the other hand I don’t really see much difference between the Labour party at the moment and the Tories who got kicked out in 1997 either. The problem is our glorious leaders have embraced new technology when it suits their urge to manage every aspect of our lives but failed to notice it’s other effects.
One thing I hate is the same politicians who use the argument ‘The innocent have nothing to fear from X’, where X is the latest infringement of our civil liberties, like warrant-less house entry or even more CCTV, at the same time argue that their expenses should be kept private. Surely if they are valid expenses they have nothing to fear?
So personally I’d like all this dancing around to be over so I can once again bask in the knowledge that my vote hasn’t made the slightest bit of difference and the same bunch of Neanderthal corporate cronies will wander back into their little gothic box, eat their subsidised salmon, sit on their plush benches (but probably on the other side) and carry on pretending they give a crap.
On a lighter note our bathroom is apparently nearing completion. Polli has some pictures including a new of the work in progress. Plus lots of cats, and other such things. So that’s good.
More soon, I need coffee.
