Interesting little rant here from a US point of view, although a lot of the issues apply equally well to most countries infested by the current rise in socialism :

I’m fed up with politicians in Washington D.C. who prance around and talk about what a good job they are doing while they pile up the biggest debt in the history of the world. We are stealing trillions of dollars from future generations, and if they get the chance they will curse us for the horrific debt that we have left them.

…

I’m fed up with being told that the money I have worked so hard to earn needs to be “redistributed” to people who wouldn’t know a hard day of work if it came up and bit them on the rear.

…

I’m fed up with anyone who suggests that it is a good idea for the government to get to look at an image of our naked bodies before we are allowed to get on an airplane.

…

I’m fed up with hearing that there are banks that are “too big to fail” and that it is necessary for tax money taken from me to be used to bail them out.

…

I’m fed up with being told that I need to reduce my “carbon footprint” when carbon dioxide does not cause global warming and over 95% of total carbon dioxide emissions would occur even if humans were not present on Earth.

It really does sound like the UK or EU doesn’t it?

I was hoping our new ConDems would at least sort out some of the excesses of our past socialist masters but, unfortunately, whilst we have the BBC and the EU around I don’t think anything will change a great deal.

The BBC, for example, has crap like this :

Becta, the government’s technology agency for schools which employs 240 staff in Coventry, has been abolished.

Its chairman Graham Badman, and chief executive, Stephen Crowne, said they were “very disappointed” and said the agency saved schools and colleges “many more times” more money than Becta cost to run.

…

Shadow Chancellor Alistair Darling told the BBC there was a lack of detail: “There could be thousands of jobs affected by this, there could be measures that could damage growth. I would be very, very concerned about that.”

…

Shadow Education Secretary Ed Balls, one of those running for the Labour leadership, said it was a “complete fantasy” to suggest the measures would not result in job losses, describing the announcement as the “first big mistake made by this government on the economy”.

..

And union leaders described the plans as “deeply worrying”.

Those from the latter part of an article on the £6 billion of cuts announced yesterday. For a lot of people, the BBC represents their sole news source and everything they read is subtly (or in some cases blatantly) tinged with the corporations socialist point of view.

As for the ConDems changing anything, we have this article today about the plans to extend flexible working rights to all people which will do nothing other than raise the cost of doing business and re-affirm peoples beliefs that they are entitled to everything for nothing in return.

I suppose I should have expected that from the Liberals especially given their European system leanings but I would have hoped for at least a month to pass without a Labour like proposal coming out.

As my grandfather used to say about politicians – different shovel, same shite!
