You are begining to agree with Alan, Dave, because you do agree.
You blame the poor for their predicament and you think govenrnment is about easy-peasy choices that only enlightened geniuses like you have the wit to make. The rest of us who are trying to balance conflicting views and do the right thing are just idiots, chavs, poor, east manchester dwellers, dolites, benefit scrungers,warmongers or whatever.
I believe the Labour Party and the Labour Government is trying to tackle these tough issues as best it can. I think the Lib Dems are a joke and the Tories are a menace. What do you believe?
