You have to wonder how these people got to power and what made them think they were good enough to do the job they were voted in to do?
I recall that they said they'd freeze council tax and energy bills. Mmm well council tax had gone up as has my energy bills, not just by a small amount either. A 5 or 6 pence rise in my kerosene and add some VAT to that sounds OK until you realise that I use around 2,500 litres a year. Our electricity bills have, I'd suggest gone up almost double in 5 years. Green taxes and idiotic reliance on medieval technology will do that, although our politicians still adhere to something that failed to work hundreds of years ago.
So I shake my head once again as we can all go back and see on YouTube and elsewhere these promises made and within a year broken. Not just one promise either, all of them. I have no idea quite how they are going to fix the hole they've made themselves but it will be funny, in a ghoulish kind of way, to see what happens. We are being laughed at and rightly so, our silly leaders are making grand quotes and gestures as if they, and they alone, can bring peace and stability to regions way out of our control. It's the "My dad's bigger than your dad" school playground sort of stuff that you used to hear when immature and at primary school. Did they ever grow up? We all know the answer to that.
You often hear that we want the adults in charge and perhaps soon, if it all goes down the toilet, that might happen but watching all this unfold in front of our eyes is both fascinating and painful at the same time. Sort of sadomasochistic I suppose and as my friend used to say "You pay good money for that in London!"
