i have some pals in the swp. christ, they do go on.
apparently the revolution is just around the corner.
i point out to them that as long as most of us are fed and housed there ain't gonna be no revolution. you only get revolution when you personally have nothing to lose.
tricky thing this politics.
well there's always the trade union and socialist coalition
oh heck, they're part of the swp apparatchik too. damn.
maybe the only interesting route is the situationist international ?
anyway....
kaufman is my mp. sod.
the expenses scandal was a bit of a fudge i reckon. in truth they were told to use their expenses as a replacement for increased wages back in the 80's because more wages wouldn't go down well at all. no-one else ever reformed that opinion. the board who approved these things approved all the expenses. it was accepted practice. clearly not good practice though.
the duck house was never approved so that's just hokum. i like to stick to the facts, not just what the papers imply. they were all in it anyway.
professional politicians (bit of a dichotomy) are always dodgy. anyone met any ?
on another note
in manchester withington last time round, the labour vote clearly made a choice to desert keith bradley in protest.
ended up with lib dem. useless streak of *!@$.
bet they don't do that this time
