    Dare I mention 70% pay rise when they are cutting the poorest incomes. millions more children will now be below the poverty line.

    ...and before the self righteous right start to bleat on about dole and sickness benefit scroungers... So, they use the excuse of a few to beat up the many. I personally know exactly what it is like, having been unemployed for a year and a half, making over a thousand applications for work and getting nothing, not even a 'sorry' letter.

    Several days when there was no food except for a couple of slices of bread.

    Preaching is all they do, it's all about getting the votes to maintain the status-quo and allow the private corporations to keep running things, whilst attacking and privatizing public services

    This has been the agenda of every politician of the main parties for a long long time, the democracy and elections are just there to create an illusion that we actually have a choice and to make us feel like we can stop them if we want to
