After hearing Osbourne rip any hope of a blooming economy away from the UK, I feel very dejected about the future for not only business here but also for living anything more than a very basic life for the majority of us.
Rather than cutting more jobs and welfare, why can't they charge wealthier prisoners for their meals and upkeep? Rather than talk of jailing bankers, why not simply fine them huge quantities (because jailing them means that yet again, they are taking from the tax payer).
I would genuinely like to see MP's taking a pay cut but they won't. They grumbled because they didn't get their usual pay rise (while everyone else's pays had been frozen they expected to keep their raise!).
We are an island in mourning for a decent goverment.
We do have a light on the horizon. At least some of us can get out of this - Scotland has the referendum next year and I genuinely hope we can break away from the Tory Totaitarian state we are currently forced into. I genuinely feel sorry for the rest of the UK who don't have that option. Only a small proportion of the population actually voted in the last election and enabled these awful people in.
According to the BBC, the UK government are about to announce that if Scotland were to break away from the rest of the UK mobile phones would charge for roaming fees is they then travelled to England/Wales etc, as it would be classed as going abroad.
They also announced that Post Offices would close and the rural broadband scheme would be cancelled.
Lets look at each of these claims:
'well before 2016' the Eu is hoping to cancel the roaming fees - problem solved.
They have been closing more and more post offices in Scotland for more than 10 years and there has been an underlying threat of privatisation (a key word for tories) since the tories came back into power!
As someone who lived in a very, very remote part of Scotland (Island of Skye had more going for it that our area!) for several years and only moved to Argyll a couple of months ago, I can tell you that this rural broadband scheme doesn't seem to exist yet - BT made it very clear to us that London came first when we enquired about getting broadband. We had to use a dongle.
This aspect is simply a farce and doesn't exist now, so why would we think going Independent would make a remote difference? Westminster needs to come up with real issues and not make rubbish up!
On another note, I have written a bit of a sexy witchy/werewolfy/vampirey book (not erocita, but sexy). If you like Charlaine Harris, Carrie Vaughn, Patricia Briggs, hopefully you'll like this. It is available on kindle and now in paperback.
