          We live in a one-party state now. One policy set, that of the civil service (sort of Blairite/Greenish/Lib Demish fudge).

          I give it twenty years until they start performing lobotomies on bright kids in the name of equality.

            You must be right, can’t be any blame put on the current lot who have promised us so much of a bright future in the next few months and years, but now are telling us that it’s not coming from the magic money tree, but from those of us who are working, to pay the slackers their big pensions.

              I don't follow what you are saying. I'm precisely blaming the "current lot", who are no different to any other lot on offer.

                The current lot is MUCH worse than what was in the past.

                And the new lot will be even worse.

                The deal is getting worse all the time - that's the problem.

                  I'm sorry but Tories are well known to pander to the top 1%. They don't mind doing over the middle class. They are for business just not the business of everyone else but a select few. Only people who are to blame are the voters for giving them a second chance even though they have been screwing over the contractors for the past 8 years like no one's business so now they have nothing to lose and going for broke. Say bye bye to small businesses as it will become unaffordable as the clients will not increase rates and the fact you cannot claim expenses means contracting will be good as dead.

                    What are you suggesting, that people should have voted communist at the last election and got Korbyn and McDonnell in?

                      Workers of the World Unite!

                      You have nothing to lose but your chains!

                      And having lost those, you'll have half shares in 3 potatoes a week.
                      When the fun stops, STOP.
