Sad times, desperate times.

So, the nation has spoken, the nation has decided and sadly, either through willful ignorance, greed, sociopathic disorder or plain stupidity (for really, with the evidence available those can be the only reasons) voted for another 5 years of Conservative misrule. What does this say about British people? I'm sure we'd all have different views, mine scathing and acrimonious, though one thing must be true: that's that Britain is indeed in deficit, though not financially, but spiritually. I've only one thing to say to those conservative voters: don't hide your lamp under a bushel, take ownership of the policies you've mandated and celebrate them; too often people vote for a party, and therefore its policies, although then try and distance themselves from them. So to Tory voters: when a disabled person has their dignity taken away or another family is forced to beg for food, raise a glass; when a homeless person dies in the gutter or an unemployed person takes their life in desperation, give a cheer; when our public services lay in tatters, our NHS bled dry, shout huzzah!; when a fox is ripped apart by baying hounds or another badger's shot, thump the sky; when climate change ravages our country, when people lack secure housing or secure employment and their right to appeal injustice has been removed, celebrate what you've achieved; you must be proud, so shout about it. As make no mistake, you'll have facilitated it all, the government couldn't do it without you. The rich will get richer, the poor much much poorer, but you know that. And don't worry, the government may not have got around to hurting you yet, but they will, they will; your time will come.
