It all seems incredibly trivial to me, bordering on comic, and my principal reactions are to smile or yawn.<br /><br />The real power today lies in the corporate sector where truly jaw-dropping levels of looting and dishonesty go on all the time. Bankers like Fred Goodwin have given us a tiny window into this world but there is so much more going on than that. <br /><br />So I'm not angry at all. Not even a little bit cross.

It will be most focussed in those 30 years and older - those with families to support or dependent on pensions, and critically those most likely to vote. People may have been more relaxed about this a year or two ago, but not in a recession!<br /><br />Labour are about to be utterly massacred. Every time the likes of the pathetic Beckett or Malik open their greedy mouths, they drive away tens of thousands of voters. Cameron and the Tories are unlikely to suffer too much in the long term if they maintain their current approach.Jess The Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694805454982688213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-10275078895902132952009-05-15T08:45:00.000+01:002009-05-15T08:45:00.000+01:00I was shocked by QT, and I'm a cynical bastard:

I know many local councillors who are active in local politics, putting many hours into local affairs and who also get paid for supposedly working full-time in Third Sector organisations, creating not only conflicts of interests between their different roles but also forcing the Third Sector to subsidize their public roles: one well-kown example is Labour Councillor Antonia Bance working with Oxfam's UK poverty programme. Now is the time to change the political system, and make it cleaner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
