Huzzah! Pip-pip and a rolicking, trolloping good time for all!
David Cameron is plastered over the news once more pledging to bring power back to the people. Our democratic rights are once more safe in the hands of the true conservatives – well, at least we know where we stand.
With the current cabinet committing mass political suicide, like lemmings dropping off the political cliff-face, it will not be long before the Bullingdon Dining Club have their feet well and truly under the table.
Borris Johnson, the mayor of London, was part of the Bullingdon Dining Club at Oxford, where common practice was to book a party at a restaurant under a false name, smash it up then throw money at the aggreived owner – basically saying ‘we are rich and we do what we like’.
Interesting proving ground for Cameron’s vision of returning the power to the people. His proposed “radical redistribution of power”, comes with a great deal of ‘considerations’ and ambiguous rhetoric – in fact it seems to be devoid of all concrete policies and initiatives.
The recent conservative mailout that every registered voter received came with a familiar slogan on it – ‘time for change’. Hmmm where have we heard that before. Cameron seems to aligning himself with Obama in a rather slippery fashion, hoping that no-one notices that he is less like Obama than Gordon Brown is Bill Clinton.
It would be a miracle if the Conservatives don’t get elected at the next election due to the symphony of idiocy displayed by the current government, however one cannot help but feel the Bullingdon Dining Club moto of ‘we’re rich and we do what we like’ might come back to haunt us all.
Cameron seems to be taking the strategy of pointing out all the faults with the current government and leaving his policies very vague – whilst saying it’s time for change.
Historically the two party political system has swung from left to right, precisely because one party smashes things to pieces so badly that we forget how bad the predecessors were, so vote them in again.
With such dismal options with the main parties, voters are bieng increasingly pushed to the fringes, to the more sinister side of the political spectrum.
Cameron is perhaps summed up by his eco frinedly image of cycling into work each day… oh, with a chauffeur driven car tailing him carrying his briefcase. It all seems like jolly good fun but we need to live in the real world, where briefcases need to be taken to work!
This summurises Cameron perfectly; not the fact that he was doing it, or that he was caught – but that it did not feel strange in the context of cycling to work to have a car following with his briefcase.
How can someone as out of touch with the majority of the population for his entire life; bread as elite from a child to the point where Bullingdon Dining Club rules seem acceptable, be the representitive of the people.
It seems as if he is trying to get through the campaign without making any solid commitment which does not have a loop hole or get out clause.
In parliament he indulges in confrontational semantic arguments and loves pointing out concrete faults with the government but does not follow them with concrete strategies to right them. Everyone knows the government is incompetant – what are you going to do about it?
It is quite frankly just boring listening to the same illusive jargon being perpetuated by another young face of political change, seeking power at all costs but with no clue what to do when elected.
Will we be standing 10 years from now, with our restaurant smashed to pieces and Cameron, Johnson and Co, hurling money at us shouting, “with a boff-boff, tallyho and last one up the naughty hellfire club gets a damn good radishing!”
