Am I a Bad Person?

This topic appeals to me but I don't feel inferior to your dear friend David Cameron- just inferior period- No you're not a bad person Ftse but I don't think you should bother your emotional life with this guy. Try to ignore him. I started ignoring politicians a short while ago. It's a wonderful feeling not to let them worry you.

FTSE. You are quite wrong in wanting to smash his face in! I mean seriously, what about the rest of his body,why stop at his face. Lets do his legs as well!

My problem is that all the leaders of oall of our political parties make me want to vomit through my eyes. I do not even know if it is possible for me to do this but I want to do it anyway, preferably on them.

Cameron deserves less than a paupers death and an unmarked grave, but for the creation of sheerfuckedoffness Gove is the winner

Politicians always look to me like children in the cockpit of an aircraft. They haven't got the first idea what any of the levers and buttons do, but they have a great time playing with them.

Let's do David Cameron first, then Gove, then dynamite the House of Commons. Every year we celebrate the time Guy Fawkes tried it, and bemoan his failure. Isn't it about time we tried it again?

Geez Paul- are you talking about fireworks? That's not enough to stir them up I do not think. They'll probably enjoy it in their simple minds..Oh dynamite? Just don't get arrested! You will then get a day named after you- and you'll forget all about Abc in your fame and prison cell!

Yes you're a terrible person, get Clegg first then you can do what you want to Cameron, but please take out Clegg

What uproar!?
The one that really gets my goat is Miliband. His party's the shambles that got us here with their double standards and mass hypocrisy and now they have the temerity to heckle the Tories. Ed Balls is another that makes my skin crawl. Their denial is exceptional.
Cameron and Clegg are lost little puppies in a mansion full of serfs.
They're all ridiculous, highly paid scapegoats/
spokesmen for the power elite whose only aim is to breed money for the top 1%. Once that job is done, I wonder what the point of government will be. No need for politicians to exempt and deploy, pass and revoke bills, no need to disguise and disgrace, punish and ransack true believers of equality. Guy Fawkes had the right idea to get shot of the whole shebang.
I don't think it will be necessary to take such crude action this time round (the buildings are lovely and would make a superb amusement park).
My take is that, as in a game of Monopoly, the player who has won (the top 1%) has to relinquish the money because he loves to play the game. If everyone else has no money and he has it all, he won't need to be forced to share it out again. Well, perhaps a little nudge.. The fact is he loves the game and without he's a blubbering, pimply, friendless mess alone in the playroom.

Hi all :)although I am sure your not a bad person, thinking or doing violence is not the answer. I agree with what you said though very good :)

'Politicians always look to me like children in the cockpit of an aircraft. They haven't got the first idea what any of the levers and buttons do, but they have a great time playing with them.'

That made me smile and nod in agreement, its true I feel were all the parents and they are children fumbling around in in the dark/cockpit/ toy box, but its us the 'real people' that suffer.

I feel if we all stood up once in a while to the government in a large group across the country/peaceful of course no politician would want to dare take off us what we don't have, in the short time they have done, when after all 'we' did not create it.

But in England we open the curtains at the disgust of our streets, but close them straight after without even trying to clean them up. (In other words any government that rules will always be better off and their families that we will, and remember we are paying their wage)

Our negative thoughts are healthy as long as we do not focus on them too frequently. Try to think of good things to give you a smile. Regards from Richard LP

You're not going to attempt at what the animals in "Animal Farm" did, are you?

It would be worth £60 million of taxpayers' money to buy a boat, fill it with Gove, Cameron, Osborne, Millipede, Clegg and pretty much all of them and have it sail away for a year and a day. And never come back.

I was pondering whether I should suggest a certain Italian captain as the driver of said boat but I thought that might be in bad taste... so I won't.

All the concentration of money in the hands of the fewer, the system of enriching private landlords at the expense of either the taxpayers or poor workers, the edification of competitive predators, the waste of education when so many youths are again being put on the scrap heap.
On top of all this we allow the creation of an idle class of lucky lottery winners to lord it over the rest of us servants, because money equals power. The criminal is not charged unless every bit of evidence is proved. They get away to commit more crimes against honest working people!
It does have to be said that it is a crazy system, and politicians seem to have little ability to put it back on any sensible track.

Well put, David. A peaceful protest march through London to discuss the abolition of government would be an interesting way to find out how many people have completely given up on this unjust, fear-based system of government that serves only one percent of its population.

New Richard L.Prov..
Hello! How many times do we all do

Give a litle love in your heart's song!

But definitely a peaceful protest,stand up for our rights I agree! Shake the all up on everything,justice gone out with the wind.

Every time I see my face I just want to touch it, softly pinch it about the eyes and whisper lamentful odes to the weight that is setting upon it! Also would like kick Ed Milibands teeth out and then stick the random chunks of enamel in his soft eye tissue! Not maliciously just by way of telling him "COULD DO BETTER" he should become the captain of a cruise liner, not much could go wrong in that line of work, he'd be a smash hit, a rock!

Maybe he should be the rock Spartarmate?

I think it was Shaw who said,"a politician is an arse upon which everyone has sat except a man"

Back to the fairy stories!

Checking, it turns out it was e.e cummings, Geoffrey.

Theodore Roosevelt was spot on with :
The most successful politician is he who says what the people are thinking most often in the loudest voice.
Although nowadays it might be he who tells the people what to think, most often and in the loudest voice!

Sorry to introduce a serious topic, but every time I see David Cameron's stupid face I want to smash it against a wall. Does that make me a bad person?

Not a bad person Footsie, just misguided :O)

I can't understand the antipathy that Cameron and his cronies draw because, whatever else, I think that, for the most part, they sincerely believe in their policies.

Mangone, I suspect that either you or your computer is not in the best of health. I received about 14 comments this morning all repeated and another 14 this afternoon. Please don't worry about this but I think one or other of you is doing something wrong!

I think he's quite prime ministerial......

Sorry, Geoffrey...
I generally post a basic piece to get it online (my Internet connection is unreliable) and then add, embroider or change bits of it as I get chance to re-check my sources, find a better link or simply think of something I think would develop my argument.

Every time I repost it you must be getting an alert.
Maybe Footsie can turn the alerts gizmo off for my posts...

Don't worry too much you are improving. I only got three identical messages this time!

Try this. Don't focus on 'personalities', focus on realities. As I understand things, and that may not be very much, the City of London as an economy is more or less five times the size of the domestic UK economy - the equivalent in effect to the entire US domestic economy. Wall Street, as an economy, is about equivalent in size to the City of London and thus equivalent in size to the entire US domestic economy. Together, the City of London and Wall Street are about equivalent in economic significance to twice the US domestic economy. As someone said above, money is power. Cameron's actions/thoughts, as were Brown's, are prompted almost entirely by a perceived need to keep the City sweet and tax-revenue generating. 1984 was right: the UK is an aircraft carrier, but the 'aircraft' are City of London credit swaps and derivatives etc. The Euro was set up not just to be a petro-currency to rival the dollar (thus triggering the Iraq War), but also as a way to try and make Paris and Frankfurt have monetary and fiscal muscle in relation to the inexorable rise of the City of London. As it happens, the City and Wall street essentially responded by saying 'Okay, euro-dudes, we are going to very easily short you into extinction, sooner or later'. There are two key determiners in the global economy still: oil and gas and who has it (try running an economy or a war on a non-petroleum basis, even now) and money. Clegg, Blair, Murdoch, Cameron, Gwyneth (aka Sarkozy) are just there to take our eye off the real issues. The are essentially a smokescreen.

Also, consider this. A fair chunk of Wall Street was gobbled up by British banks, headquartered in the City, in the fall-out from the Credit Crunch - Barclays was a clear player in this. Also, the ownership of the various US Federal Reserves, determining monetary policy in the US, is far from clear. Dark voices indicate that, from time relatively immemorial, UK bankers have a major ownership within these reserves and are thus determining policy. And who do all these UK banks and financial institutions, with their fingers in so many 'pies', have to keep on the right side of? The mild-mannered Governor of the Bank of the England. How mauch of what happens in the Eurozone and the Middle East is being determined, in effect, by a certain Mervyn King? Quiet a lot???

Oh, aND who was it that stayed in post after the last UK general election? The name escapes me. Oh yes, Mervyn KING. And who was offered control of the issues that the FSA had 'andled up to that point, despite/because of the utter failure of the FSA to handle its own business. Oh yes, Mervyn King.
