C'mon gets hammered every time he posts..
a) Weird thing is there were zero posts in general for almost 2 days and only a couple in the 2 days before that, C'mon posts and suddenly there is a plethora.
b) At least he puts his head over the parapet, it's easy to dismiss his arguments because he rarely follows them up, but I've yet to see a post that gives an opposing political argument. The usual strains of 'they are all the same' or 'what did your lot do'... just doesn't cut it as a valid anti-argument for me.
c) As for the shareholder argument, he isn't talking about the ordinary guy who has a tiny portfolio that can do zilch about the value of them, he is talking about the makers and shakers that can wipe out our meagre investment with a phone call or simple wave of a piece of paper on the floor of the stock exchange.
Blair is a war criminal, Brown is an idiot, but Cameron is slowly, secretively and irretrievably destroying the infrastructure of this country using headlines of 'benefit scroungers', 'invalidity scroungers', and 'the workshy' to cover his tracks. Our NHS, social care and mental health support is stretched to breaking point because of constant cutbacks, this leads to headlines in our local paper of troubled teenagers jumping off the Arndale and a man hanging himself in hospital.
Cameron claims there are no cutbacks to frontline services..that's true...there are plenty of frontline social service and NHS paper pushers constantly cutting funding to secondary hands on doctors, nurses, healthcare workers and other various support institutions.
Our railways are in disarray, our roads are full of potholes, lights are switched off on dangerous sections of motorway, our energy is foreign owned and we are overcharged without recourse (other than Cameron stating that they are very naughty boys), our schools are infiltrated by religious nutjobs, our jobless figures are massaged using zero hour and 16 hour contracts as full employment, our further education system figures are tweaked by offers of over generous bursaries and excess funding, our laws are made in Europe, our taxes are twisted to affect the poorest the most and the richest the least. We are unable to die with dignity unless we are fit enough to dot i's and cross t's on claim forms.
If I were a Scot..I'd vote to get the heck out, it's what DaveinGermany has done

The current crop of conservatives are far worse than Thatcher ever was..she was upfront about putting the working class in their place...the current lot are killing off the old, infirm and troubled using banner red top headlines to whip up support from the unthinking and unfeeling.
Camerons 'big society'...the poor can look after themselves, the rich need help..
I like to think I'm a socialist, but I do not believe that the majority of the current crop of Labour politicians represent these values (and I specifically include Graham Jones and the majority of our local Labour councillors in this)...before I lose faith in humanity, how about the conservatives amongst you? Do you truly believe that Cameron and his crooks represent your values?
