Judgement Spew
We are on day number 2 of our brave new coalition Government, the day after the release of the initial coalition terms brief.
Yesterday I was reserving judgement, being positive, holding out hope for a tempered Conservative Party and a LibDem party with balls. I am still trying to do that honestly, really trying but after reading the coalition agreement judgement is spewing forth.
I am not going to have time to write about the entire agreement now, only the main point that has pissed me off.
60% of the country didn’t vote Conservative, that means 60% of this country aren’t nobheads, or at least less nobhead like than the other 40%, those who voted UKIP and BNP don’t count as people. Now out of that 40% a proportion will be rich, public schooled, old money types who don’t really know any better, who else would they vote for with their skewed view of the world? The other portion of that 40% Tory vote is normal people, people who actually have to work for a living. It’s your fault, you idiots who thought it would be a good idea to vote Tory for a change, they must be better than Labour, good luck with that.
Throughout the election Arseface Cameron and indeed Lovely Nick Clegg hammered Gordon Brown about a “Jobs Tax”, “I’m going to stop the Jobs Tax, through efficiency savings” “Business leaders agree that the Jobs Tax is a bad idea”. So now we are all better off aren’t we, we have both these guys stopping our National Insurance contributions going up. No we fucking aren’t.
The proposal is to stop Employer NI contributions but Employee contributions will still be taken. No wonder business leaders backed it, pass the burden of reducing the deficit on to the workers. You voted for them, you asked for this. Alongside that we hear that it is likely they will raise the VAT percentage from 17.5% to 20%, so not only will you have less money to buy things with, you’ll have to pay more for them, AWESOME, change is here, YOU FUCKING VOTED FOR IT.
This to me isn’t a sign of a changed Tory Party, it’s the sign of a party that has smiled during the election race, saying they wouldn’t stab you in the back but instead are stabbing you in the face, in your poor stupid Tory voting face.
Maybe the next blog will be upbeat.
