Im telling you now, the goverment dont care what car I drive, why would they be bothered about it, if they were, they would have to be bothered on everybodys cars, how many is that? They are only bothered about cars that are being used illegally and such things like that. They dont care Im jumping in my Ford to drive to tesco, why would they.
If drinking alcohol ever became illegal, I wouldnt blame the gorverment, Id blame the people who cant control themselves on a night out. Middlesbrough isnt the best of places at the best of times, on the night time its horrendous due to the drug takers/drinkers not being able to handle themselves and the prostitutes.
Its time we stand up and stop blaming the goverment for everything, sure they are the cause of somethings, the only thing I see with this Country though is people cant lay the blame on themselves or their friends.
I bet, given the chance of running this Country, most people wouldnt know where to stand or what to do and even if they did, does not mean its going to be succesful.
Ive always said that for the 'average' person, they (the different paties trying to get in to run the country) are all as bad as each other. We would be know better/worse off either way because they always find another way to gain money from us.
I think some people need to sit up and all though we are not the best Country in the world, we are certainly not the worst, not by a long shot and some people need to think themselves lucky that we can sit here and actually talk about and maybe do something about the policies the goverment want to bring in.

You actually really do think all future British governments will be trustworthy? Sorry, but I find your attitude incredibly complacent. We are already living in an evolving big brother state, but you're obviously a good little citizen who will never do anything the state doesn't approve of. But if any of your descendants ever do, there might be no one left to speak up for them.
I'm not blaming the government for everything, but one thing I do blame them for using the tax system against everyone instead of dealing effectively with the people causing the problems. We're not politicians; it's not our job to run the country, but nevertheless imo our parliamentary politicians have become arrogant and remote from those they are supposed to serve.
You're wrong. All parties are not all as bad as each other. Don't judge them all by the standards employed by the parties with bodies on green benches. And when the countries someone can compare us favourably to are "Af
ghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Zimbabwe or, whisper it, Russia" you know how low we have sunk.
