It's never really the case.
Currently, Britain is being run...sorry, CONTROLLED by the conservative government.
So what does this mean?
It basically means that the rich get richer. The poor get poorer and living standards for people like myself who are on four hour contracts are not going to get better. They may even get worse.
Apparently, the government may well be able to now give the police new powers to monitor internet browsing history and instant messenger chats. For example, Whatsapp conversations-this applying even though you are not suspected of having committed a crime. Bedroom tax for homes with spare bedrooms, under 21s not getting housing benefit blah blah blah. The last time the conservatives were in power, there were about three and a half million people unemployed. Suicide rates were high. If there is a gap between the rich and the poor, it isn't down to this government to sort out. Do this party deserve a vote?
Oh and now that the conservatives are back in power-fox hunting will be legal. Yes that is correct. You read right. FOX HUNTING WILL BE LEGAL. A nice hobby to help pass the time for the upper class dingbats. Hunting foxes.
"But wait", I hear you cry whilst reading this-"WAIT". Your title says that you don't vote? Why? Why oh why didn't you help stop this barbaric bunch of dumbos from killing those poor foxes?!
I will get to that later. First of all, I want to point out that Britains' biggest selling newspaper is The Sun. As depressing as that is, it is true. And The Sun-is a conservative newspaper. It's a cheap terrible newspaper that working class people buy-who correct me if I am wrong, but aren't working class people supposed to be voting Labour?! Money can be taken from us whilst they decide on which public services to spend least on as well as which holidays would be best taken with our money?
Labour will save the working class people! So some people believe.
No they won't. No they have never. The recession began. The mass immigration. The death of people.
Now I know people who don't have money shouldn't spend money that they don't have. Credit. Also there have been a lot of shop closures. But a massive increase in bookmakers as I have stated before. Especially in poorer areas. Didn't Labour want to make parts of Britain super casinos? There are more bookmakers than banks and pubs (pubs that are open and in business) combined.
I have no problem with people coming in from anywhere in the world if they are going to make this country a better place. But some are not doing that. Some are only here for benefits.
Innocent people dying by being sent to places like Iraq to get involved in conflict that has nothing to do with us.
Do this party deserve a vote?
What about Ukip/BNP? "Let's just all be white and have nothing multicultural in our lives because we're too thick to embrace culture". Does this racist, sexist EVERYTHING-ist party deserve my vote?
Liberal democrats? Isn't their leader also a buffoon? Not as much of a buffoon as idiots above but still. No buffoons will get my vote.
Running out of parties. What about the green party? Abolishing the army, legalising drugs and encouraging people to stop eating meat. Encouraging right now, but if they came into power I bet my lamb chops they would ban meat products. I like lamb chops.
I won't ever vote. There are too many lies and different ways for the men in suits to earn our trusts based on a load of crap that they come out with. During my life, I have seen this country seemingly go on a rapid decline. Nobody seems to know what to do. They do not have a clue.
Now, the conservatives have promised that the minimum wage is going up and by 2020, it will have gone up from the current £6:51p an hour to £9 an hour. Conveniently, this £9 an hour being pledged just after what will be the next general election.
That is all well and good. But what about the small businesses who don't make that much money? How will they pay their staff unless they raise their own prices which could lose them customers.
I don't know who it was, but someone from some political party said that they wanted to put the "Great" back into Great Britain. Britain hasn't been "great for a very long time and the last time time it was, were they not dividing and conquering with their British empire? Did they not kill and torture people? In Asia, In Africa, in a lot of places. There never seems to be much mention of this in the media or press. Not that we should live in the past, but it seems that there is always talk about other leaders from other countries in history who caused death and misery. But Britain did the same.
Anyway, back to the point and on the subject of divide and conquer-it still seems like that is going on now. For example, in a lot of jobs-instead of giving one person an eight hour shift, they would give two people two four hour shifts. People end up doing whatever they can just to get hours and just to work. To survive. Can you imagine if every worker in all the retail stores in Britain decided to go on strike because of this? They would have to do something. But people are too scared. If people went on strike the big companies would just find other suckers to work for them on the pittance pay which is currently £6:51p an hour.
But the funny thing about it is people who are in full time jobs and earn an amazing wage-THEY are the ones who go on strike! Train drivers, doctors and teachers! The latter I am training to become. Strikes?! Why?? Well for the teachers, it had something to do with cutting their pensions or something along those lines. Can you imagine people moaning about that?? One the one hand you have a retail assistant on a four hour contract who barely gets by in a miserable job that can lead to depression. On the other hand, you have a teacher who is doing a job that they probably love to do for a nice decent full time wage who then goes on strike! Unbelievable. The retail assistant goes to work and gets abused by customers. The teacher letting down their students by not being there to teach them. Is this what it has come to?
A few weeks ago, it rained for four days straight. The local council sent out people to water the plants in the parks and the bus station. This is no joke. This actually happened. They probably had the date planned beforehand to water the plants and decided to go ahead and do it even after four days of rain. Again-unbelievable.
I have worked most of my adult life. Apart from a total of about three years when I couldn't find any work-not through lack of trying. It takes me an hour and a half to get to work and an hour and a half to get back. Sometimes more. A retail job. A minimum wage job. A fight to get as many hours as possible job.
Then there are people out there who don't work at all. Who just can't be bothered to get a job. These people have houses. Cars. They go on holidays! They have more money than I have or get. And this is what the country is. Things are not going to change no matter who gets the power as this has been the case for years. The thought of voting and then feeling responsible for the way things are is too sickening for me to comprehend.
