Depressing British political scene
One of the the most depressing things about living - and voting in Britain is the dreadful political environment. You have a right-wing (it's a fact) party called New Labour, that despite the self-delusion of its ever-decreasing membership has been completely hijacked by a looney imperialist called Anthony Blair - 5 wars in 6 years - how loony is that? Just because he speaks in public school (i.e, private school) RP and likes to adopt a bogus friendly 'blokey' attitude. He is one dangerous bugger. How about this for a list: Illegal invasion of Iraq, killing of innocents, wholesale reduction in human rights in the UK. Pawning off the state assets at knock down prices to a bunch of robber capitalists.

But then you consider the main opposition party: the Conservative or Tory party - even further to the right.
They are playing out a leadership election process at their annual conference. What a bunch of no-hopers. They are like children having a tantrum "It's my turn" they squeel both individually as candidates and collectively as a party. They cannot give one good reason why they might be any better than the NL crowd. But they are even further to the right than the New Labour shower. They just can't organise a piss-up in a brewery.
