This is a hard read ... but probably a must read. It relates to our brief discussion about making clear and bold statements that carry through to the public.

RR2, my respect for you is undiminished but I must hollar at you over the quote above.
What can win up against Tories good at clear & bold & ultimately lying statements?
Tories LIE about whatever they want!
Tories LIE & get away with it, I guess, no one arrested yet for misconduct in public office.
Why not?
IDS gets ruled against by every jurist in the UK.
And still that Tory walks free.
Dave
makes things up & he's really convincing with that everything-is-under-control accent he manages.
Current Tory party are liars who own or know the few people who own enough to make sure whatever Labour says it's going to get buried, destroyed, manipulated, ignored...
We don't have the Miliband government & I'm sorry for it because it would've saved lives, strengthened the country - the truth was told by Labour. No lies. We could have trusted that government.
People don't make the connection. People aren't treated like they matter & that message is relentless. I talked to people in the UK who've never voted in their lives. They don't know how politics & participation works. They're trying to get enough hours, pay for uniforms, work over time, eat crap because it's late, fix stuff in rented accommodation not their responsibility but to complain might be to lose their house.
Nearly twenty million people didn't vote for anyone in the 2015 GE. Someone dear to me was angry about billions of dollars leaving this country to support an emerging nation. How am I supposed to respond to that. Tell him he's a fool for getting wound up by someone or some organisation with an agenda & here's me telling him what to be angry about? No, obviously not. I'm sad. This happened today.
You're under the age of 25, young man & the Tory Chancellor wants you to work for his friends & family as a serf. Don't forget it, watch the Tory government, listen & vote accordingly.
Lennon sang something I've never cared for. He sang it like he was looking down upon
'the peasants' every bit as condescending as Tories. That's my opinion about that song, anyway.
