I read this like I owned it. That sounds so naff. But I read every word and I understand how you feel, your anger and heartache. I am so with you, and feel for the first time in many many years that we as a nation, we have lost control.
So, I offer this Specials track. For me it symbolises this shitty, lying fuckers of a Government.
Great article. I'm reminded that when we first moved into our house, on the day of closing they suddenly informed us they were $60K short on paying their mortgage off and hence would we mind renting to them until this was sorted out (their father-in-law agreed to help get the money but it was a shock out of the blue).
Then three days after we moved in, sewage backed up in the basement because they lied on the disclosure forms about whether they had trouble with the pipes. They had in fact dug up the driveway in an attempt to fix it. None of which was disclosed. We never went after them for damages because we thought if they couldn't even pay off the mortgage, they were not likely to have any other cash lying around.
The neighbors made up for what was a poor introduction to our house, but I still wonder what happened to them in the end. We might have been mugs but I still hope Kama will impact sooner or later.
Hello Christina, somehow only today have I caught up with this. (I'm just generally not very observant sadly ;) Also was away the past week in a very soggy Normandy.). Sorry to hear about your moving in issues: What it comes down to is these sorts (predominantly a much too sizeable cohort of younger generations...) have the mentality of peasants; deficient in upbringing, intelligence, education and overaĺ spine. I am disappointed by examples every single day. Such a pity we can't avoid having to interface with these types, life would be then so much less frustrating. By the way I agree the Party conference went very well, much hope on offer. I expect your emotion stemmed from the frustration of facing yet a further year of these crooks. Stay strong though. Best xx John

Thank you so much, Geoff. Your description of the government is very accurate! And I loved the video. Brought me back to my youth...
