I wish the election bullshit was over
but living in Scotland it looks like I'll have to put up with quite a lot of SNP-smuggery for a while yet. Cunts.
This weekend...tonight, going to a mate's pub quiz. Saturday - watching a charity football match, allotment and 10-pin bowling night with the cricket team. Sunday - no cricket fixture this week, so down the allotment working like feck.

OK, I'm a bit disappointed about not having a cricket fixture, but there's no need to be nasty about it

May's already rubbing her hands at giving the security forces 'more power' 'for your safety' b2b scrapping the Human Rights Act.
Anyone who voted just to pay a little less tax should be ashamed of themselves.

What really hacks me off in Scotland
is our beloved Holyrood has insisted on freezing council tax for years. As a result councils have slashed services to almost fuck all. Every school meeting I go to I hear the head teacher talking about budget cuts.
I'd gladly pay inflationary rises in council tax so that we had some decent local services.
Of course the SNP just blaims everything on Westminster, but this is entirely their own choice.

Successive governments of all flavours
have consistently spent more than they get in tax. Then attempted to balance the books by selling stuff, gold, nationalised industries, etc to other countries. Meanwhile the pension bill grows ever higher as people live longer but the pension age has hardly gone up in 40 years. Question is, what will they do when there's nothing left to cut or sell?

It is noticable.
However I'm quite happy that Labour have got a shoeing as well because all of the Scottish Labour MP's have just kept their head down safe in the knowledge they've had a safe seat. They've all voted bullshit to things you'd think they'd oppose but instead just done as they've been told. Fuck 'em.
