…today is an exception. Also, failing on my resolution to use this thing more often. On the other hand - twice in a month is better than my previous track record!!
So - what has got me so annoyed I thought I would blog about it? These blasted defence cuts. I shall be the first to admit I am not an expert in Ecomomics and the recession but seriously.
Have a browse of: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-12294766. Stupid. Scrapping an entire fleet of harriers, perhaps one of the only fast jets that can hover and then scrapping a new £200 million fleet of Nimrods. Something is seriously wrong - the country has also been left with aircraft carriers it can’t use!!
I thought this ‘coalition government’ was supposed to bring the country out of recession. For one thing the economy has further decreased. Rather than repairing ‘broken Britain’ the government is crippling it.
Another thing that will frustrate me is that people will realise this and then proclaim “I am going to vote BNP!!”. WHY?! Just because the government that the majority of this country put in power are useless - that’s no reason to turn into a racist! I wish I could fight Labour’s corner in this farce, but unfortunately - unless they sort out their front bench, bring in some charachter and dynamics then this country will face hong parliament after hung parliament. I also think it’s high time the government stopped pointing the finger at the opposition. Recession was inevitable. Gordon Brown did not trigger a world wide recession, though his policies were adopted in other countries. Britain does not have the worst deficit in Europe. I think what this country needs is a leader… but what we have, is a PR man. Someone that was a reasonably good orator and was a suitable candidate for airbrushing. His deputy isn’t better. Surely if the Liberals really wanted to make a change to this country, the leader accepting the role of Deputy Prime Minister ‘in order to enforce coalition agreements’ is, in my opinion, a cop out. I think that unfortunately the one ‘real’ progressive party has now turned into the scapegoat so that the Conservatives can enforce thier agenda. Sad times.
Recession or not, I think it is high time someone took control and sorted this mess out. Stop pointing the finger, and make sensible cuts - perhaps to how much wine the government used to entertain perhaps?
Ok. Rant over. Apologies for the preceding rubbish!! I will use this blog more often.
