New Labour and cuntage
I voted for Labour in 1997 because I wanted the Tories booted out in shame.

Eleven years on and boy, do I feel like a cunt.

We live in what's become a Police State, funded by ever spiralling environmental taxes, from which there is no escape because the "Fair, cheap and comprehensive" public transport system we were promised by John Prescott in 1998 failed to materialise, the monies instead being spent on making life a little bit more shit every year. Compensation culture, environmental propaganda, taxes, abuses of privacy, unchecked immigration, inflation and social stagnation are all rampant.

The shambles of the past eleven years have turned me from being non-committal to actually hating the Labour Party and all it stands for. I'm sorry but I want them out of office and unelectable forever after, there is a terrible mess that'll take generations to unmake.

The fact that extremist politics are on the mainstream agenda in Britain today is symptomatic of the fact that the government has stonewalled the citizens for eleven years and willfully ignored public opinion, safe in the knowledge that no-one wants the Tories back. Make no mistake, the Tories didn't win the local elections, Labout lost them. I know several otherwise rational and intelligent professional people who are openly admitting they've voted BNP.

So now, we have Labour politicians actively discussing pressuring OPEC to up oil production and to simultaneously postpone the 2p hike in fuel duty due in October. Tough new immigration rules, investment in shared equity schemes and a U turn on the 10% tax band are all apparently pending. After eleven years of sanctimonious and hysterical politics, they're backpedalling all they can to try and save their jobs in 2010 - don't forget that some Labour frontbenchers constituency seats are also under threat.

Watching the local election results come in last Thursday was very sweet indeed.
