So What?

Well, I thought I would take my first faltering steps in the blogosphere by highlighting a subject that is close to both my heart and my wallet; namely the ungodly amount of hard earned money that this shambolic Government has p*ssed up the wall in the name of "progress".

You may have witnessed David Cameron, the leader of the British Conservative Party, trying to respond to NuLabour's soporific budget speech with a well reasoned argument about exactly why our economy was heading for the rocks. When he got to the thorny issue of our inordinate tax burden, he was shouted down by the aptly-named Mr. Balls - a friend of the Dear Leader and Secretary of State for Children, Schools, Families and Fluffy iddy biddy Pets - before he settled himself back into his seat with a smug grin on his face.

The phrase which he used when our tax burden was mentioned was "So What?" (incidentally not a phrase he was brave enough to stick with when the official transcript of the exchange was published in Hansard).



The smug, arrogant, patrician and downright nasty attitude of NuLabour is ecapsulated by that single phrase.

Electing NuLabour to power has been like giving the drunks the keys to the wine cellar. They have systematically hosed any conceivable problem with liberal quantities of our cash and, with the genius that can only come with never having had a proper job in their lives, have dreamt up all sorts of half baked and idiotic solutions to problems that have amazingly left us worse off than before.

So now we wait longer on average for NHS treatment, violent crime has soared in the UK, inflation and unemployment are on an upward trajectory and we have "staggering" problems with basic literacy and numeracy even after a decade of compulsory education. Worst of all, our brave servicemen have been sent to fight and die in the sands of Iraq and Afghanistan without adequate equipment because we can't afford it!

And Labour's response to their own disgraceful failings?

"So What?"
