I at last am coming to believe that this is the beginning of the end for this regime and its odious ideas. The two basic mistakes that have made is that they actually believe that it is alright for state money to be used for political propaganda and that when they transgress a law it is alright to change that law retrospectively to cover things up. Wrong and wrong. State funding of political propaganda is the stuff leftist totalitarian (and, to be fair, rightist totalitarian) regimes thrive on. Who paid for the block long billboards of Stalin in Red Square? It has no place in a democracy that I want to live in. Changing the rules to cover up transgressions after the event is just plain obnoxious. On both counts the great unwashed have seen through this lot's smoke and mirrors and they are in the pooh over all this in a way we have not seen for ages. Goody goody. The wheeze to 'pay back' the inappropriately used funds by 'underusing' the next couple of years money is a double whammy for us, the poor taxpayer. Using legitimate funds to pay for illegitimate purposes means we get stung twice - second time round for the money not being used for what it was really meant for. Labour's clutching at straws trying to bring the Exclusive Brethren into the argument is just that - clutching at straws. The EB's money (if it did go to Don and the boys and there is doubt surrounding this) is EB money and not public money. The pooh gets deeper by the minute. The underlying idealogical world in which these wretches exist and which they wish to foist upon us is really coming to the fore now - and it is 'orrible.
And speaking of the hideousness of a left wing way of looking of things I will not put myself into a bad mood by dwelling on the fact that striking distribution workers are now drawing 'emergency benefit' 'cos they are not getting paid. Is this country nuts or what?
