So yesterday had a run-in with my parents over.. politics. This has never before happened, and it was a very strange experience.
Basically mum went off on a rant at how much she hates Gordon Brown, she blames him for everything, and just went off on one about all the gold reserves he sold, something about an EU referendum he promised but never delivered, economic recession, northern rock, pensions etc. etc. and i disagreed with her.
She then started going on about how great David Cameron was? I wasn't going to stand for this, i hate the man!
"Ooh, mum, you're so anti-establishment" was how i started. I dont see how Northern Rock was Brown's fault at all, that was down to their incompetent management and he has done alright in a tricky situation in my opinion. The economic recession? I don't think its down to him, its down to overlending and a crash in the US housing market also due to overspending which is starting to effect consumer confidence, and also ever rising oil prices due to the new increasing demands of Asia (Mainly China and India.) I do economics and they are what we would call, "External Shocks", something brown has no control over. Lost data discs? How anyone can pin them on him is beyond me. The "promised in manifesto" EU referendum simply shouldn't have been promised, it was unrealistic and referendums aren't good for politics. What do people elect for if the public (who do make bad decisions) are asked to decide issues like this.. Pensions can't be excused, but shit happens and i bet Cameron would have done something much worse. At the end of the day Gordon's not doing too bad in my opinion, and i can't believe how fickle people are, around the time of the flaming jeep in Glasgow people were singing his praises and now everyone's turned on him.. disgraceful. You don't get divorced if you're going through a bad patch.
David Cameron? Absolute moron who will never be getting a vote from me. He jumped on the green enviromental band wagon and took it to a ridiculous extent. At the end of the day, if i want to ride a plane on holiday, i will, if its peeing down and i dont fancy riding damp, leaky, overpriced public transport i will drive in my 4x4 and simply pay the extra.. thats just the way it is and no matter how much he preaches it won't change. He's a huge hypocrite anyway, chartering a private jet to raise enviromental awareness by visiting Greenland or where-ever it was, riding to work on a bike with a car following containing his briefcases. By the way, he also doesn't know the highway code and drives said bicycle, not very well to say the least.
His comments on black music earlier this year are unforgivable, he cited it as a main cause behind gun crime and nearly caused a race war in doing so. He is a slimy,eton creep who has surrounded himself with old school pals because he can't let go. He's a snob who's videoblog was just embaressing for the whole nation, "I'm Dave, im young, hip, and just like you!" whilst washing the dishes.. makes me sick.
Its so easy for him at the moment, he is simply criticising Brown's every move because the media are turning against him, which also means he is never short of ammunition. But in doing so he has been unbelievably vague about what he would do himself. I watched an interview the other day and he said to solve the problem of NHS and other areas' underfunding he would slash MP expenses. But what is that? Its a tiny sum in the greater scheme of things and worth very little. That was the only clear policy he stated, so why should he get put in as PM? I hate the guy!
I miss Tony Blair! He was so under-rated, like Ryan Giggs.
There's a funny video of a little girl on youtube crying for Tony Blair to come back you should take a look at aswell haha.
