The reactions are quite simply born out of frustration Dave. As Dave (d8veh) infers, the ill effects of many components of the welfare state have gone too far, and that's now been the situation for a long time. Gentle protests at this have been ignored, as have later stronger protests, so we now reach a situation where only the most forceful expressions are left to try.Jeez, it's like the rancid dribble spouting forth from the worst of the Republican SW stations in the USofA. I really had to pinch myself and make sure it was still a UK forum, with all the nasty, backwards, repressive, fascist leanings being expressed on here.
You should be ashamed of yourselves, I really mean that.
Despicable people.
You disgust me.
That will remain the situation until our politicians stop merely promising some action and actually deliver it effectively.
