Miss J here!!
Such lovely comments, thank...Hi Meryl<br />Miss J here!!<br />Such lovely comments, thank you. So lovely to hear that you've still got the politics bug. I have had my tv on the news channel continuosly since last thursday...it's been an incredible week. <br /><br />Feeling a bit optimistic at the moment about how this will pan out, but let's just see....as Harold Wilson said......Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518249694222780667.post-87143883057855017502010-05-13T07:49:41.329-07:002010-05-13T07:49:41.329-07:00Just to stress the disaster that has just happened...Just to stress the disaster that has just happened in British politics I would like to submit this, written by a friend on the day the coalition government was declared:<br /><br />"Instead of joining the Tories in a coalition, the Lib Dems could have let them form a minority Government and, if they had to, support it on an issue-by-issue basis. As bad as the things Labour has done (or failed to do)- the Tories are a whole lot worse: Yes, inequality has grown - but we haven't seen the FOURFOLD increase in poverty and the sustained decline in living standards of the poorest we saw under the Tories. Neither have we seen the absolute obliteration of working class communities - or the four million unemployed we saw in recessions that were less severe.<br /><br />Most Lib Dem voters are staunchly anti-Tory and millions of them now feel rightly deceived and used - which is why we will see the Lib Dems toasted by the electorate come the next election. You might be happy having ended up voting for Cameron by a circuitous route but many other Lib Dems are livid to put it mildly.<br /><br />Also hearing civil liberties lessons from the Tories is pretty vomit-inducing given this is the party that introduced internment, anti-protest laws and the most stringent anti-union laws in the Western world"<br /><br />Just some food for thought.<br />Meryl - love your blog!<br />zina xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
