Cameron - getting his excuses in early!
Our beloved leader is busy telling us the global economy is about to slow down which could harm the UK recovery... how very convenient. So he blames Labour for the global economic crisis in 2007/2008 and now it is the global economy that is about to mess up his so called 'recovery' despite the fact there has not been any real recovery north of Watford!
Global economy lights are flashing says PM
No worries as he will be taking a good caning in the by election on Thursday despite describing it as a must win seat and 'throwing the kitchen sink' at it ... his words!
No doubt we will get a whole heap of platitudes from the **** on Friday about how people are just registering a protest vote and he is listening and all the usual sh1te they come out with at times like this!

I don't think it really matters anymore which lot are in power since they have all pretty much morphed into one party, namely the political elite, ordinary man on the street doesn't stand a chance and I would include the current favourites UKIP in that too, blaming the ills of the UK on foreigners won't change anything, and neither will they be any different than the current crop should they get into power, it will corrupt them even more so.
I question the morals and motivation of anyone that wants to be a politician as well as anyone that backs them financially, it's all about exerting the will of the few onto the many, which by it's very definition is questionable.
Guy fawkes had the right idea.

I'm not complaining; we have the best of the worst.
Would anyone else have done it better?
Doubtful.
The sorry state is mainly legacy borne, anything done now will not repair that. The only way to fix it is armageddon (WWIII? ) or "true" political anarchism (not to be confused with the typical knuckle-dragger/hippy/greebo/fantasist anarchy). (IMO)

Buff up loafers, don your frock F1 and turn up Westminster for a full weeks work,
Show em how it's done
No slouching around on the Internet half the day pontificating.

Show me a credible alternative, instead of just complaining all the time. Like it or not, a vote for anybody else at the moment is a wasted vote. Imagine Miliband trying to march into the EU and tell them what's what. They just laugh at him and that's if they could even work out wtf he was saying! At least Cameron has some credibility.
The government sure aren't perfect, but there literally is nobody better that has a realistic chance of taking power.

Wait, you mean that ISN'T what we're supposed to do?!

In my opinion Cameron has no more or less credibility than Miliband.
Personally I liken the current UK political landscape to having three pills in front of you. Two will definitely make you feel worse, the third might not and might make you feel better. Guess which one I'm taking!

It was at the 'At least Cameron has some credibility' statement that I realised you're deluded. I fear this conversation may only go one way if continued.

I take it you will be voting UKIP then?
BTW I said "some" credibility.

I am simply voting for them as a way to get rid of Cameron and Miliband, UKIP are actually far far away from my politics, but until a proper socialist party arrives on the scene or Farage turns out to be another pig at the trough I will vote tactically and anyway I do want us out of the EU!
