2 Days to the Polls

Only two days to go for what will no doubt be the closest election in my lifetime. All I can remember is landslide wins. Born to a Tory government and the years under Lady Thatcher. You can't help but admire the Woman for all she did. Standing hard as only the iron lady could against the Unions and the year long Miners Strike. I remember the sell off of British Gas (If you see Sid, tell him), I can rememeber marching outside Parliament for equality in the late 90s and marching for student rights and chanting "Education is a right, is a right, is a right, Education is a right, not a privelidge" Of course the teachers were always on Strike in my day, but we seem to have lost more time to bomb hoaxes. I recal time after time when we suddenly heard the bells sounds and were evacuated out of the building. Fire Fighters and Police Officers in the hallways shouting at you, "Get Out, Get away from the building, Go Home". You know something is not right when there are officials in the building. Of course, it was a Hoax, I believe the last time it happened they did find a device in the refectory, complete with wires and batteries. It turned out the Ice Cream Tub on the refectory table was filled with Potatoes. Still got me out of my Maths exam at the time.

Seems a bit odd how we all were against the Tories at the time. Not so much because they stood for things we didn't believe in (As is the case with Labour these days), but because they had been in power for so long. I grew up only ever knowing Thatcher being in power. Infact I can remember I was at work the day she retired. My entire life she was the most powerfull person in Britain.

Today I feel its for a different reason we are against labour. Despite their intentions and their good will, the countries near £900 Billion national debt means far from govern over our nations finances Mr Brown royally screwed up, proving that a Labour Government can not even manage the kitty, let alone the country. Sorry Mr Brown, if you have to borrow hundreds of Billions and throw away your own rule against borrowing more than 40% of GDP, well you hardly managed our economy. Whoever wins on Thursdays election will have years of thrift to make up for your complete catastrophe as Chancellor / PM.

It seems odd that we could end in a hung paliament, with so many dissatisfied with the bodge of things you have done. Knife & Gang Crime out of hand, a Mayor with no power, Police that would rather stand by and watch a boy die as Health and Safety says they can not save him. The boy at school whos Cheese Sandwhich was taken away because it had no salad. WTF! Stop being Big Brother, start watching the pennies and cutting back on non essential spending, cut the Quangos, cut the red tape, start to make a difference.

Whoever wins will have to face the facts that we are up the creek financially, but do your part and vote. Its the last right we all have. Don't sit on the sideline and think they are all worthless, your vote counts. Use it!
