Erm ...

In that case, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to - well - absolutely everyone.

Having fwapped about absolutely everyone is a pretty impressive achievement.

It's taken a while, but it's been totally worth it. I can do the Popeye trick and pop a tin can just by squeezing it.

Interestingly, I reckon he's not using the phrase anymore.
I haven't heard him talk about the Big Society for months.
He seems to call it 'Localism' now... which seems a much more fitting phrase to describe a Tory policy. All curtain-twitching and rejecting outsiders...

# yeh, I work in social care, so have done a bit myself
Judging by how it's gone so far, Big Society seems to mean helping the rich get richer and making poorer people pay for stuff that used to be free, while paying these poorer people less, nothing if possible and hoping this means that health and social care pays for itself.

there was something on the radio I caught the end of, Cameron wants fathers who have to leave their families to be despised.
Bit harsh on Long distance lorry drivers and oil rig workers, but the posh balloon faced twat is right I'm sure.
