My fault?
"ultimately it's Joe Public that actually screws the country up, not the politicians"
Yes, I agree.
It's entirely my fault that we sent troops to Iraq
It's entirely my fault that we sent troops to Afghanistan
It's entirely my fault that we are being force fed ID Cards
It's entirely my fault that I run the risk of being arrested for the crime of being too tall in possession of a recording device in public
It's entirely my fault that innocent bystanders are beaten to death by police
It's entirely my fault that a man was murdered by the police for the crime of "being in a rush and looking a bit too dark"
It's entirely my fault that we're the most surveilled society in the world
It's entirely my fault that my freedoms are being removed one by one in the name of preserving "freedom"
It's entirely my fault that politicians are corrupt, thieving filth
It's entirely my fault that the UK has been sold out without say to the EU in an attempt to make Tony Blair the first Emperor of Europe
None of that was anything to do with those poor, hard done by politicians, we were asked how we felt about every single one of those issues, weren't we? And the voting population stood up and in one voice shouted "Yes please, Mr Brown, sir, arse-rape us hard!".
