Reality check time.

Yes they do.

However, should a second term of solely Conservative government be elected in 2015 (its a real possibility) then THAT is the time to start thinking about looking for some suitable land upon which to build your family compound in the style of the wealthy of South Africa, high walls, big Ridgeback dogs to patrol the grounds and a couple of grateful hefty men on the gate who's skin colour is slightly darker than yours - get your family inside, and bollax to all the poor people at the gate peering in.

Its the future.

I see, state aid is fine when it lines your own pockets but not when it helps the less well- off.
Why can't you stand on your own two feet?
Ask not what your country can do for you?

Good post.

Despite the inherent glaring contradiction?
Or did that pose too great a task of thinking for you to see it?
