We don't have anyone as insane as Palin or Trump... Just your regular evil politicans.

Unfortunately they are the ones running the country.

Ministers should waste no time to make unpopular cuts to pensioner benefits, a think tank director has said.

Many of those hit by a cut to the winter fuel allowance might "not be around" at the next election, said Alex Wild of the Taxpayers' Alliance.

And others would forget which party had done it, he added.

I would not be at all surprised if Season 10 of Doctor Who contained a re-vamped Happiness Patrol. In fact, I am very much hoping that that will be the case.

.... Wait. What? Is that... Are they basically saying fuck em they'll DIE ANYWAY??

[elisi]

Yes. And they're not even trying to prettify it anymore.

Specifically, it's framed as 'These people will be dead or will have lost their marbles come the next election, so can't vote against us. So take their money sooner rather than later!'

I hate the government.

Wanna know what's wrong with politics?

Politicians.

And what is the definition of politician? Scum-sucking vampire.

UGH.

Sure. Let them eat metaphorical cake, yeah? WTF...

[elisi]

Metaphorical cake? Oh no, can't be having that. They should EARN it.

(Btw not *all* politicians. Just most.)

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

RIGHT?!

(Well, I don't consider the 'good guys' politicians. Having to deal with politics? Certainly. But not politicians).

[elisi]

Aaah. Like the lizards in HHGTTG...

(The new Labour leader - Jeremy Corbyn - seems to be a human being. *crosses fingers*)

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

YUS.

(I'd heard that...keeping my fingers crossed!!)

[elisi]

Douglas Adams was a genius.

[sueworld2003.livejournal.com]

Total bastards that imo are nothing more then parasites living of the backs of the people..

Bloody Tories...

[elisi]

Except they don't! They've got plenty of money already. They just hate seeing people getting 'something for nothing'.

Bloody Tories...
Amen.

Well, I guess once your party leader has been caught having sex with pigs, there's really no point in pretending anymore...

[elisi]

We are comfortable being evil. We're nice, pleasant, modern evil people, for a new, 21st century world...

(Actually, Doctor Who has already got it right wrt the Prime Ministers they've portrayed.)

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

I. But... I don't..

Pigs? Is that a metaphor? Please tell me that's a metaphor....

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

I wish I could, but no, it's quite literal.

[ragnarok-08.livejournal.com]

Oh my God DX

[elisi]

Yup.

Steal from the old, they'll die soon anyway...

[jeymien.livejournal.com]

Wow. Ok. And all we got going on over here is the Conservative Party of Canada fighting against women wearing niqabs. UK and the US have the politician thing way worse.

[elisi]

Yeah, we've got five years of this... :(

And at least America have Obama in charge. We'll, there's a new Labour Leader (Jeremy Corbyn) who seems to be a human being, but it'll be a long while until he even has a chance to make a difference...

[jeymien.livejournal.com]

Heading into our election right now. I'm hoping to see Canada get some one else in. It seems like the right wing side is crazy everywhere...

[elisi]

Yes, I've seen Tumblr posts. Good luck!

[sea_thoughts]

Bitter satisfaction is a novel feeling for me. It's bitter because I didn't want this party in government. It's satisfying because THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID WOULD HAPPEN.

Tory scum don't change their spots.

[elisi]

Tory scum don't change their spots.
Well said.

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

I guess it's nice to know that we're not the only ones with terrible people in power.

Nah, it sucks all the way around. For everyone.

[elisi]

Nah, it sucks all the way around. For everyone.
Sadly yes. :(
