Look
Election Day.
What a depressing campaign. I can't imagine that any country in the world could EVER have seen such a pathetic level of political debate.
'We will be TOUGH ON CRIME'
'WE will be TOUGHER on Crime'
Yeah, well WE'LL be TOUGHEST on crime'
and so on ad infinitum.
Every day saw exactly the same questions put to Blair. Every day saw exactly the same replies dripping out on autopilot. 'LOOK' 'LOOK' 'LOOK' he keeps gibbering. What the British people have to decide is this. Is the world a better place now that Saddam has been ousted?
Well there seems to have been widespread assent in the media and from other politicians that it is.
Well frankly if (as it has been) at the cost of over 20,000 Iraqi civilian deaths, long term destablisation in the region and a financial cost of countless billions of pounds that could have been spent on healthcare and schools in this country... NO IT ISN'T. Quite where this bright new utopia is on the map in the Middle East I don't know. Because the Iraq I read about in the papers and see on the news sounds like the fucking wild west right now.
All the pressing concerns weighing heavy on our shoulders have warranted barely a mention:
Climate Change? I mean even ignoring the global consequences and being entirely parochial, surely the fact that Norfolk will be under water in 20 years should be a matter of some concern?
(Mind you i've been to Norwich and Great Yarmouth. They won't be missed.)
I enjoyed the policy put forward by the 'Church of the Militant Elvis'. "When elected our M.P. would like to go the Antarctic, stand in front of the ice bergs and shout "Stop Melting You Big White Bastards". It won't do much good but it's more than Bush & Blair are doing."
Europe? Last time it was the ONLY issue that the Tories seemed interested in. They seem to have forgotten it exists now. I suppose if we close our eyes long enough it won't be there any more.
Bollocks, is that the time? I have to get outta here & go vote. I could rant on for ages.
I'll be voting Lib Dem & I sincerely hope they overtake the Tories to become the main opposition party. We may then finally get some sensible debate about some of the key issues.
Let's face it though, we're gonna have four more years of Bliar.
