Unfortunately, you're not part of 'the system' or 'the establishment' - how top execs at banks or financial institutions have been fired or stepped down? The PM , elected by no-one (he was unopposed for Labour Party leader when Blair stood down) isn't going to go either. All these people look after each other, no matter how incompetent/greedy/thieving they've been, leaving the rest of us to fend for ourselves.
The worst part is, they're all still there to make the same mistakes again next time round

Hello,
(ANS) No.1 That's NOTHING!!!! what about the total & utter waste of our tax payers money being spent on the next generation of stupid pointless TRIDENT sub-marines with nuclear missiles. The COST TO YOU & ME a mere £750 BILLION over the next 10years. Its an obscene & scandalous waste of money as the major threats are now from terrorists & extreme Islamic groups NOT the Russians or a cold war type stand off.
No.2 OLYMPICS, What about the waste of tax payers money on the stupid pointless London 2012 Olympics?? That's a real waste of money in my opinion who needs it nobody only politicians and a few elite sports people.
No.3 ID CARDS & COMPUTER SYSTEM. What about the waste of money that's going to spent on yet another stupid national computer system so the government can spy & snoop on everyone with ID cards. All government national IT projects have a terrible track record of being massively over spent by millions & they always miss there completion deadlines. I could quote many examples to you. Again wasted tax payers money.
No.4 YES! Its scandalous how we treat older retired people in this country. ALL UK pensioners should get a better deal financially rather than having to live almost in poverty. Also personal care should be better funded too.
**ALL the important "real" priorities are back to front in this country. The fat cat bankers, politicians, & business people have their noses in the trough whilst ordinary hard working people get a rotten deal in my opinion. Fairness we don't seem to have any sense of fairness left in the UK.
