Oh, when we get going there's not much to stop us....

It's just getting us going. I think a lot of people are angry...but not angry enough to risk being labeled a terrorist or put on a criminal records list.

Aye maybe that is the difference between 2010 and 1990. In 1990 anarchy was still alive and well in the UK. In 2010 it gets picked up by MI6 and disappears or labelled terrorism.

The sad fact is most rather sit on there ass and bitch on which saves them time in writing to there Member of Parliament or even seeing them.

From the horses mouth my MP...

"If more people wrote in and wanted change then the government would have to do something."

What that means is the government of the day be that labour or conservatives or even what we have now a coalition of the conservatives with the liberals will do sweet sod all until the lazy people of this country get off there fat asses, and that day will never come.

If people don't make the effort they get what they deserve, times I have told people MP's are there to work for them so get writing and see them.

One of the big problems that makes us Brits sit on our arses, is the non-elected coalition that seems to contradict itself depending on whether a Tory or a LiB-Dem makes the sound-bite!

Also the fact that the government is welding an Axe to public spending when a scapel is needed - don't get me wrong, i'm a socialist by choice but, Gordon Brown pissed me off with his "prudence" budgets - so called "saving for a rainy day" and all that, so when that rainy day comes along (now!!) and we don't have public pot to pee in, it makes it slightly difficult to give a Sh*t!!

Apothetically yours,

Kaleun

Correct to get action in the Westminister system the puiblic have to make the lives of their MP's difficult to prod them into action. Writing to them phoning them and meeting with them encourages them to understand that you are not happy with what they are doing. If you do nothing nothing will change.
