The UK is in a fucking mess, people who've suffered in the floods are angry, cuts in spending are announced daily, the coalition is a joke because of the spineless and wet Liberal Democrats, and the cost of living has got much higher in the last few years. Then the government decides to meddle in the affairs of other countries as though it still runs an empire, and is either sending troops or giving money away. The foreign aid budget is simply out of control, while councils are filming and fining citizens to try and raise money to pay for the massive costs of housing for the poor and for immigrants, and to cover the bloated salaries of council chiefs who achieve fuck all.
Now we have George Osborne being a dick with his mad comments on the problems of Ukraine. Horrendous as they no doubt are, they are problems that demand sympathy but not money. 45 million people in 233,000 square miles is rather a large beneficiary for Osborne's madness. We have 65 million people squashed on to 93,000 square miles. Everyone on the fucking planet wants to come here for homes, jobs and benefits, and we seem powerless to stop most of them, as our rules of fairness (which fly in the face of economic sense) are determined partly by useless cunts in charge, and partly by the pathetic ceding of power to the European Union. So, on top of the dire straits we are heading for (and please be assured that whatever the economists say, things will NEVER get better than they are because for every step forward in one respect, there will be a shuffle backwards on numerous other aspects) Mr Osborne has decided we are rich enough (!) to start bailing out other nations.
The "money is not an object" statement by Cameron regarding the flood victims and costs of sorting out the mess was proven to be a rather pointless one, with people scurrying along afterwards trying to explain that it's not a 'blank cheque' that's been offered. How the fuck, then, can Osborne be in any position to help 45 million non-tax payers? The outrageous corruption in Ukraine has been disastrous for a nation with natural resources that dwarf anything in the UK. The news and pictures from Ukraine are awful, and the world does of course need to do something, but the power struggles involve Russia so deeply that whatever is done to help, it will prove pointless unless Russia gives up trying to rule by proxy, or dictate to the leaders of Ukraine how the country should be governed. Picking a fight with Russia is noble, but a bit silly from your desk in London.
George, just to let you know, the citizens of the UK believe there is a limit to what we can do and what we can pay for, so please choose carefully. There are hundreds of countries which could probably do with some money, and thousands of good causes - some of them actually in this bloody country! You are swanning around like you're Howard Hughes overseeing a local town, not a skint Chancellor of a tiny country which is fucked beyond belief, but which you represent as a country happy and willing to shoot itself in the foot while feeding its fingers into a mincer.
