The whole left/right illusion is just a means of keeping the focus off of what is really happening, and keep people busy hating whatever side is the opposite of the one they support, much like a football game. <br /><br /><br />The media feed the beast, and so on it goes.Christopher Snowdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963753745009712865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-34407855008351512192015-01-15T18:47:59.084+00:002015-01-15T18:47:59.084+00:00The establIShment political parties do not represe...The establIShment political parties do not represent freedom.Christopher Snowdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963753745009712865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-74985427167132618452015-01-15T11:40:47.199+00:002015-01-15T11:40:47.199+00:00In terms of sugar/alcohol/tobacco etc they're ...In terms of sugar/alcohol/tobacco etc they're still bad and nannying, but nowhere near the dystopian levels of Labour.Christopher Snowdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963753745009712865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-77942782799507221552015-01-15T10:40:12.336+00:002015-01-15T10:40:12.336+00:00The tories are no less authoritarian and nannying ...The tories are no less authoritarian and nannying AFAICT.Christopher Snowdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963753745009712865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-61539489089990055872015-01-15T09:25:00.058+00:002015-01-15T09:25:00.058+00:00The whole thing has me absolutely terrified. This ...The whole thing has me absolutely terrified. This is the worst of Labour, magnified. Did they not get the memo about people being sick of the nanny state? No, they must have been made immune to it thanks to all the sweet-talking from all the state/pharma funded bodies flattering them that they can make everyone live to 100.<br /><br />As for the bits about "saving the NHS x, y and z". Do they never fucking stop and think about pensions and how much very elderly people cost the state? FFS Labour must not be let in at any cost.Christopher Snowdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963753745009712865noreply@blogger.com
