Government defends state-forced evictions and bankruptcies
- Bailiffs – it’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it.. Oh. Really? Are you sure?
The sheer callousness and bare-faced lying of politicians often leaves me wanting to puke or hit someone, but the news that thousands are being forced into bankruptcy and evicted from their homes by local authorities for non-payment of council tax had me screaming that it’s time for a revolution, to overthrow the oppressive and self-serving political class that has sprung up slowly but surely ever since Thatcher came to power. Of course we won’t get one. Not for decades, if ever.
It wasn’t so much the facts of the matter, terrible as they are. I already know politicians, like bailiffs and bankers, are a wicked bunch of lowlifes who care for nothing but their own fortunes and, sometimes, families. Precious few politicians genuinely want to do what’s right and are genuine, and they are maligned by manipulative PR agencies and the media whenever they speak out.

Tory leader David Cameron plans if elected to cut business tax to help companies through the recession. The Tories would cut the amount companies pay in national insurance to help them take on staff who have been jobless for three months. They say the measure will reduce firms’ tax burden by £2.6bn and create 350,000 new jobs in the next year.
No it won’t. It will increase firms’ profits by… £2.6bn. That’s all.
And what happened to the statement only a few months ago from Cameron that “the cupboard is bare” and they can’t and shouldn’t promise tax cuts? No wonder their lead over Labour has been cut from 15 points to just six. If Cameron was to keep his mouth shut for a few weeks, that alone might improve the Tories’ chances. As things stand, it’s screamingly obvious the Tories are clueless and making everything up as they go along from one day to the next.
