gah!
thiiiiings! can only get bett... sorry, the same.
Bring on the puns about 'brown noise'.
I can't say I'm pleased, given his track record on squeezing every last little drop of cash out of everyone that he could as chancellor of the exchequer, I'm expecting the same attitude as pm. I think what he did regarding taxing pensions was despicable; so on the whole I'm expecting everything to get alot more expensive across the board. From council tax to income tax and god help you if you drive a car.
That's just the money stuff.
I anticipate the same pc pandering fluff his predecessor was so bloody keen on, the steady erosion of liberty where it becomes more and more commonplace to have the law assume guilt and the onus will be transferred to the individual thereafter to prove their innocence instead of the law having to build a successful case against the individual to prove guilt. All this and more; diabolical mishandling of the nhs, endless comities peopled by magazine cut-outs who have no clearer perspective on reality than a jar of olives, deciding how the rest of us should live and pay taxes, more of that 'give to criminals' with laws that are a pointlessly ineffective result of knee jerk politics 'to be seen to be doing something about it' spin.
sickening business as usual then, for nu-labour.
As we all know never ever ever believe the crap that politicians spout at 'the beginning' (of anything) because they never deliver on what they promise and in some cases opt for the complete u-turn effect once they are nicely settled into their new political digs.
