How The Rich CH 4

[Dia bando]

I've just been hearing about a PFI deal the Conservatives did with a private equity firm. They've handed over a chunk of a local health authority to them. The private equity firm basically get a hospital, a couple of drop-in centres and a few GP practices buildings and contents for free ( worth hundreds of millions) and their entire budget. The first thing the private equity boys are doing is taking 15% of the budget directly in rent for buildings they've been given for free and have told the hospitals and centres to cut their spending by 15% immediately with more cuts and layoffs to come.

Oh wait, that deal was one of dozens done by the last Labour government.


Seriously, how much different do you think a Labour government will be? I'll have more to add to this tomorrow.

Well the Tories have sold off just about everything to there friends, only good Tory is a dead one.

How is the Labour party any different? The Labour politicians are all desperate for a payday from the city after their political career is over, they're exactly the same as the Tories. If you look at former Labour ministers who did favours for big firms when in office and then took a seat on the board of those firms when they left office the current number of Labour guys far exceeds the number of Conservative guys who did the same thing. So surely if you're upset about politicians doing favours for their freiends in big business you should be most upset at the Labour party?

Are YOU A TORY.

What difference does it make?

What I'm saying is that there's no effective difference between Labour and Conservative. Whether I'm a Conservative or even a conservative is irrelevant. Whoever wins the next election and forms the next government is going to continue parcelling off the public sector to private firms and investors in return for future employment when they leave office. I don't understand the dismal tribalism when youe tribe leaders are going to shaft you in exactly the same way that the tribe you hate are going to shaft you.

So, bearing on mind that the facts and the evidence show all top Labour politicians from the Blair/Brown era left office and stuck their snouts straight in the trough (top earner among them Tony Blair, net worht when leaving office under half a million, current net worth thirty or forty million) why favour one bunch of crooks so strongly over the other bunch?

Well are you a Tory,! I agree one bunch of crooks for a other bunch, Thatcher started the great sell
off, you look at the power companies we pay more from energy just to keep share holders happy,
we are being ripped off. I don't like new Labour they pander to the middle class, politicians are
a untrustworthy bunch all of them.
