[Margaret Pilkington]

Cashy, the sad fact is we have to governed by someone(this was a frequently used response by my daughter when she was trying to convert me to use my vote....and before anyone jumps down my throat...Idid visit the polling station, but couldn't bring myself in all conscience to vote for any of those candidates whose names were on the list....so I spoiled my vote)...it has long been the situation that the party that is elected is NOT the choice of the majority of those who live in the country.

To be honest I am now a bit jaded with all the political argy-bargy.
We are in a mess(largely made by the Labour government, and ably assisted by the banks ....who by the way were given the freedom to do what the hell they liked by....wait for it.... Gordon Brown, it was he who took the regulation of the banking system away from the tight laced Bank of England and handed it to the FSA)....now what we really need to do is stop arguing and roll our sleeves up and sort the mess out in the best way that we can.
Yes, it is going to take some doing, and it is going to hurt......and seeing as the majority of those in this country atr the hoi polloi, I guess it will be us who will pay......but for goodness sake let's get on with it.
