Do leapords chane their spots?

The BBC was talking about the government papers released from 30 years ago, Riots, austerity and a royal wedding AND the Tories in power.

  Note that in all the years of Labour rule there wasn't a riot. It is always the same the Tories screw those who are worse off and then claim the violence that ensues is nothing to do with them!



  Why do so many people fall for their propaganda, is is just the press that keeps telling them things or is it the simple belief that things will get better. I wonder how many public sector workers voted for them or their cheerleaders, the lib-cons. They must know that the Tories are out to destroy the public sector, they firmly believe that if you work in the public sector you are useless, but still so many public sector workers vote for them. Can someone explain the contradiction? Why would turkeys vopte for Xmas. 

  My only conclusion is that they want to believe that leopards can change their spots but they don't, anything to get at the workers. Mrs Thatcher blamed all our problems on Trade Unions, that was why are industries were so bad. So she set about trying to strangle them. She has almost done that in the private sector and see how wonderfully British industry is now doing.

   Almost everything that the Tory governments have done since Thatcher has been a failure, it often sounds good but doesn't work. The latest positive sounding move was the proposal to restrict "excessive" charges for credit and debit cards.

  Of course large firms will get ground it and probably the only winners, once again, will be lawyers as firms challenge any ruling. To defeat such things the law must simply state that whatever method is used the charge is the same! Some people might lose but the cost of something will always be clear and they will be no way to challenge such a law in the courts.

  The firms might be able to argue that it is unfair BUT by doing all their business over the phone or internet they save a fortune, if you operate in that way their is no way to pay other than by cards. So the argument about administrative costs is just rubbish!  It is just another way to rip us off and the Tories don't really want to tackle the problem.

On last comment, don't believe the greens are any different, their leader in Norfolk has just come clean and joined the Tories, he is so impressed by them.
