Being a bunch of thieving, corrupt wankers; politicians; having been caught with their grubby little mitts in the proverbial till, now want to raid the taxpayers’ pocket.
They owe money:
The Conservatives owe £37m in total, having borrowed £16m from a bank to buy the freehold on its former headquarters in London’s Smith Square and £4.7m from local associations.
Tough shit. I owe money and the taxpayer isn’t about to bail me out.
State funding of morally bankrupt political machines?
No! No! No! Fuck right off! No!
Clear enough for you?
The government here is always misappropriating our money–sounds like it’s not just an American thing anymore.
What conclusion did I come to?
I think it was something along the lines of: “Never! Never! Never!” or something along those lines.
The British taxpayer already pay for the United Kingdom Parliament and the three ridiculous jumped-up super county-councils in the Scottish Parliament (or whatever ludicrous name they’ve assigned that monstrosity of a thing), the Welsh Assembly and the Northern Ireland Assembly. Why the fucking hell should the electorate be forced to pay for what are effectively political propaganda machines too? Fuck off.
If a political party has any credibility and some decent policies, they;’ll be supported. Until such time, I don’t want the state to support any party, whether it’s Labour, Tory, Lib Dem, DUP, SNP, UKIP or whoever. State funding of political parties is a no-no. Case closed.
No, Pimme, it’s not just an American thing… 😐
