People who work hard live in mansions apparently. That's why they have mansions - because they work hard. My mum and dad and grandma and grandad worked really hard. My grandad worked down the mines. They didn't live in mansions though. Funny that. The equation doesn't quite work out.

The thing I find depressing is it could all be so different our long long history has taught us so many lessons why is it so hard to just let our humanity shine?kindness should really be our way of life we could be such a great country it deeply saddens me that pettiness and small mindedness rule instead of beautiful positive thoughts

Right with you on that Richard and it is so much easier to be kind - less paranoia more laughter. Why can't they see it?

All the mansions are in Tory seats ..> <well most of them>

The Tory's will not 'hit' the pensioners <because they vote>

The Tory's will hit the supposed workshy - as in the main they will be located in Labour seats.

The next general election will be a cracker - all those disaffected Liberal voters <especially students> - I reckon Labour will sneak it - but don't expect great change - for most of us it'll be the same as now more or less...

Elections are won / lost around the 'key marginals' - find out where they are and move :wink:

But most of all 'vote'!

In the borough I work in, 54 per cent of kids live in poverty according to the Child Poverty Action Group. Any attacks on welfare, it'll be those children who'll get hit the hardest. The Tories are doing what Tories do – looking after their own privileged class but playing the old divide and rule game with the rest of us so somehow we won't notice.
We've just had a Labour conference where Ed Miliband told us all that he'd keep the public sector pay freeze, make people work longer, carry on with the cuts and try to claim the mantle of a One Nation Tory. Presumerably, we'll get more the same old shit this week from the Tories, with a bit more caviar and champers thrown in, a few more moral lectures for us feckless, workshy scroungers from a group of people who seem to have no morals at all.
H talks about history but I just think that if there's one thing life should've taught us is that you don't get anything without a fight. I'm intending to go to the TUC Future that Works March on Oct 20, not because I think it will change the world or anything. But I just can't sit by, watching women with kids coming to my council building, being thrown out of their homes because housing benefit changes mean they'll have to pay too much to their landlords out of their own pocket, dressed in men's jumpers that they've got from the Salvation Army, queuing up with their kids at the Foodbank. We live in a society where we can sift dust on Mars for signs of water but we've still got kids in large parts of our country going hungry. The whole thing is fucked up.

My lovely and very funny friend has suggested on Facebook that if George Osborne wants to raise 10 billion quid, he should just charge people a fiver to hit him in the face with a travel iron! Sorted! Don't try this at home, kids. X
