The cynics wife theory

Surely if I want to do good things I can find support in my community? Maybe keep a hospital open or save some green belt land? If I try I can get people to come out to support me?
But If I want to do bad things like say polute the environment by building another runway or destroy some green belt by building a huge supermarket? Maybe buy a few more bombs? Well its going to be hard to get people out on the streets then and as a result hard to do bad things.
I still need influence though and because theres few of them they will have to be powerful decision makers.
The best influence to have is of course political. They make the decisions and send in the bulldozers after the so called enquiry has confirmed its a bad thing I want to do. They can even sign the cheques to help me buy the bombs. So the best way to get influence is to buy it and go to the right dinners and meet the right people. Therefore I become a political donor in order to build, polute or deprive in whatever form I choose. This is relatively easy with a party system of politics because they are a team and stick together from the top down.

Hence the Cynics Wife law of politics says that

"The party system by its nature demands that we have leades who work against our wishes"

DO NOT VOTE!

Put Mcnulty on the dole

Un employment minister Tony Mc Nulty joins the growing list of Westminster's over paid and under-rated and completely un-qualified. In fact he has had a glittering political career so far and it seems to rub off on those around him. He married head teacher Gillian Travers who by coincidence was elevated to Ofsted's chief inspector of schools – in 2002. The same year Tony hit the big time with John Prescott's office.
Now by his own admission he claims thousands of pounds of your money to pay for a house he does a few days work in and stays over a few times a month. At that rate there are cheaper alternatives such as a suite in a hotel at less than a grand a night, but then you don't get to keep it when you have been kicked out of your job. He stopped claiming this expense in January as the whisper around the corridors of power got louder. This bloody freedom of information act is a right nuisance. Summer is coming and the list will get longer and the excuses more ridiculous. But have no fear the governments official PR agents the BBC are here to divert attention to the real issue. You see its just that the rules are not to clear and need clarification and anyway he stopped claiming it. Like he kinda has stopped stealing your money now so that makes it ok. Anyway what about those nasty bankers who join companies and get promised massive pensions and are still promised them when your incompetent government buys the business. Lock stock and barrel deal or no deal.
In the meantime the real issue here is we just dont pay our politicians enough. Thats why they steal your money

Ignorance is Bliss

Its impossible to get good news coverage these days particularly from the governments official news channel the British Bullshit Corporation.
The massacre in Gaza continues unabaited whilst the western world shrugs its shoulders and looks the other way. The other prime minister, you remember him, surely? There was an election, some people voted for him. Yes Blair thats right. well he did the same thing last time. Kind of looked the other way whislt Isreal bombed the Lebanon back 20 years. He didn't see nothin he had somethin in his eye. Well that was the guy who said that the London bombings and 9/11 were unrelated to our foriegn policy.
Many years later he is currently appearing on various news networks telling of how it would be madness to suggest that the current conflict justified terrorist action. Well I agree with him whole heartedly and 100% but....
It doesn't matter what I think because the kind of people who do that kind of thing don't really listen to him or his media outlets or me. They probably listen to stuff like Al Jazeera news who quote middle east sources who say he or any one of us may as well be flying the planes that drop those bombs on their babies for all they care.
So its unfortunate that next time a couple of crazy madmen decide to fly a plane into a building or even a range rover thanks to the good old BBC we can all hold our hands up and wonder why the hell anyone would want to hurt us?
