The real s.. hole in this country is parliament.

The way it has treated the citizens of this country is utterly disgusting.

A housing crisis that has not been dealt with in more than 40 years.

A sewage system that has not had any proper level of investment in over 40 years.

No new reservoir built in over 40 year despite a big increase in population.

The total lack of investment in public services.

The promise of lower prices and more efficiency through privatization.

We appear to have a banking system that prefers to invest in the inflation of house prices rather than invest in businesses. This in turn then means that people cant afford to get on the housing ladder. It also means that the big multi nationals (who all off shore as much of their profit as possible) have effective monopolies in the market. They are allowed to offshore huge profits while at the same time paying poverty levels of wages that need to be topped up with in work benefits.

We shovel huge sums to big business. For example we are giving the big oil companies £42 million per week with the tax relief that goes to new oil and gas drilling while these companies are making massive profits. Around 90% of the cost of new oil and gas fields is being paid for by the tax payer through these tax reliefs.

Then people wonder why it is that we have so many low waged jobs in this country. We are continually told that they are going to turn us into a high skilled high wage economy and then never deliver what they tell us. They fail time and time again to invest in education and health properly.

We are continually told they are making things more efficient and that deregulation will lead to higher levels of growth.

If we have seen all of the efficiency improvements that we have seen governments bang on and on and on about why is it that housing is now so insanely expensive when compared to 50 years ago?

If we have seen all of the efficiency improvements that we see the government bang on and on and on about why is it that public services are on their knees?

Our whole system is in a total mess and the stench emanates from those who are running the country.

We are constantly fed a diet of lies and misinformation while watching the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
