What Would Jesus Do?
“Hello Mr Voter, Frank isn’t it? I’m here to help. Pick an issue, Frank. Any issue. Whatever you choose, I agree with you Frank!”
“In fact, Frank, I’ll go one better, I’ll pick the issues for you. You don’t even need to speak, Frank. I’ll tell you what you are interested in, Frank. Moving forward, putting the past behind you, getting on with your life. Isn’t that right Frank? You want to forget, don’t you? Frank.”
Indeed wasn’t it Frank who asked if the parties could cooperate in a coalition? Whoever set that one up – comedy genius! Watching the three tossers plunge into a cat fight in response was certainly the high point of the evening.
Everything else was the low point.
The message is, you only have three choices. There are no alternatives to the mainstream. You’re getting taxed more come what may. The banksters are getting a slap on the wrist but keeping the keys to the vault. Europe here we come. Global warming, which is now termed climate change since the former was debunked, is here to stay. Nobody will be held to account for the grave war crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yes, we’re taking the Internet away. Nothing except the make-up is going to change.
If you think I’m being cynical, tell me – what did you hear tonight that filled you with enthusiasm? Were you promised a few quid in your pocket? Are you not up to speed on the global warming taxes coming your way in the next parliament? Trust me, whatever they have promised you will be more than wiped away.
They’re telling you the money is gone and you’ll have to pay the bills and at the same time you’re going to get better schools, a better health service, more cake, better circuses.
Do you buy any of this? Do you believe them? Who could voluntarily vote these guys back into office again to run (ruin) our lives? Why? What have we done to you that you’d injure us so?
David Cock, Slick Nick or Mr Pooh, take your pick. Juvenile? Well they’re treating us like children so silly names are the order of the day.

The poxy media. Who won? It’s a horse race, Clegg and Cameron are neck and neck, Brown has fallen at the first, and the second and the…
This is British politics. We’re doomed. I hate it. I can’t do anything about it. I could vote for an outsider, vote for nobody at all, spoil my ballot, run as a candidate. It makes no odds because it’s clear you can fool most of the people all of the time and in a democracy that’s all that counts.
Whoever ends up winning, the system is winning again. Even when they spend a decade rubbing our noses in shit we keep coming back for more.
I hate politicians.

But sir;
They keep getting re-elected. Bastards that they are, they must be giving A LOT of us what we want- or they would not get re-elected.
What then do we make of the majority of the public?
