    oh dear: From "Big Society" to "Shared Society", what's next?

    "Theresa May has revealed her vision for “the shared society” as she declares that government has a duty to intervene and correct “burning injustices” in modern Britain . "

    Theresa May unveils plans to create 'the shared society' as reform vision is revealed

    So, Camoron's "Big Society" was about Govt cutting funding for the local services and expecting local people to do that job for free or with token funding from Govt.

    Now Mayday's "Shared Society" seems to be about Nunny State.

    "“When the British people voted in the referendum last June, they did not simply vote to withdraw from the European Union; they voted to change the way our country works – and the people for whom it works – forever,” she says. "

    WTF, this is treason surely - totally misrepresenting will of the people, which in any case was 2% difference achived by using fraudlent claims.

    Sounds like it could be something worthwhile. What will be the reality? Not a lot I suspect.

      Is this where 1% share 99% of the wealth?

          Can't stand Mrs May.

          Is it too much to ask for a leader with some integrity, vision, competence, intelligence, drive and credibility?

          Rather than piles of self-serving slime or imbecilic incompetents?

            Yes.

            And Corbyn is partially to blame for this.

              Isn't 'Shared Society' some kind of socialist thing, in the realms of what is your's is mine and so on? Bit of an oxymoron for Tories methinks...Just another meaningless media soundbite from May, much like 'Brexit is Brexit' and 'Red, White and Blue Brexit (*)' and 'We've got a first class leader at the moment. David Cameron is dealing with the issues that he was left by the last government very well indeed.'




              (* I wonder if anyone has told her that the French and Dutch also have these colours...)
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    A grasp of reality would help too.
