All of this begs the question: How is it possible that in a democracy, the squeaky wheels run the show? It is very true that "the people get the government they deserve". How is it possible, though, that "Red Ken" can become the Lord Mayor of London? He was the front-runner of the loony left from the '80s who had all the garbage bags in his borough changed to green from black so as not to upset our swarthier brethren! Damned insensitive to Martians, I call it!
Is what I am seeing in the UK a belated PC uprising occurring? It happened in Canada in the mid-late 80s as the pendulum of the stupidity dial swung all the way to the left. Now, I am glad to say, the pendulum has returned more towards the middle.
The problem in Canada is one of apathy. Far too few people actually get of their bloated arses to go and vote. They'd much rather just sit around the I'M A SCAMMER SPAMMER!!! table and bitch about things, which I'm sure makes them feel better but serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, unless producing oral excrement is the aim of the game! Surely, this cannot be the case if Britain now? Surely us Brits are made of sterner stuff?
What P's me off most is the hypocrisy. No one really give a rodent's posterior for "people". All "they" are interested is votes and money. The PC way is the path of least resistance to trying to gain the middle-ground favour of the vast majority. What a bunch of bollocks!
The other day some snotty bint looked sideways as my tattoos and said, "You can have them removed these days, you know?" My "inner voice" screamed, "for someone with a face like a bag of chisels and no tits, you don't want to be suggesting cosmetic surgery to me, sweetheart!" My diplomacy won the day, though (why should I lower myself to her level?) and I simply said, "Why would I do such a stupid thing?" She flushed red and went off in a huff. Bless her. You breed pigs, you get more pigs! That's just the way it is, I guess.
Hey, this soapbox really works!
