no this is what happens when you or anyone else seem to live in the belief that any party you vote in will be any less corrupt that the one before it. The older you get the more cynical and pessimistic you become but let me tell you there's a very good reason for that happening its called "waking up and smelling the coffee". It doesn't matter who you vote in because while they hold the purse strings there is only one set of people who ever get better off when a new party/parties get in and that's the people in the new party/parties themselves and the external businesses they are involved or investing in. I could go on but David Icke im not.

Yeah, it really is the voters' fault, isn't it?
How dare they even begin to consider that politicians might do and say the same thing for once!

What utter bollocks. This kind of response is
the very worst reaction to the existence of self-serving and corruption in politics.
Cynicism is childish, lazy, pathetic and ultimately self-destructive. It lets the corrupt prosper and undermines those who are grown up enough to know that, although you can't win every fight, that doesn't mean they aren't worth fighting.

Grown-ups take some fucking responsibility not sit there and sigh about the state of the world - that's for adolescents.

my response isn't utter bollocks

how does the average person even begin to take on the system ?

1.The system can take the one thing away from you that is precious to you and that's time. The police can arrest you for a public order offence or causing a fray or assault on a officer and a multitude of other trumped up new terrorist offences. Then you have a criminal record or even a sentence.

2.What happened to the fire extinguisher rebel (begging to not be sent down in court.) What happened to the guy who led the truckers against fuel costs when they hit a all time high of a pound. His family were threatened anonymously and he decided to not carry on with his quest for cheap fuel.

I hear you and i respect you and legless for feeling so dedicated to a better world and i wish to christ things were different in this country i really do, i have a little un im trying to bring up into it. But i from age and experience know that your morals will fall by the wayside when you move on and have a family / dependants. You don't have to believe me but that's the truth from where im standing. Standing up for what you truly believe in always comes at a cost or sacrifice if you think im talking bollocks make a stand and i will see how far your crusade lasts and what unfolds in the papers.

Oi Cov Boy.
That's _my_ country you're whining in.
It's the country that my kid is going to have to grow up in.

If you're not willing to stand up for what you believe in, stand up for giving your child something to beleive in.
If you're not willing to do that, door's on your left, don't let it hit you in the spine on the way out.
