This is a cable forum, not a the Tory party appreciation society, I can hold my hands up and say I know nothing about politics, Europe, whatever as I have too much on my plate to even bother to spend time trying to understand anything about these subjects but I do have the common sense to know what is going on. And I'm sure a lot of people here are the same. But it doesn't or shouldn't stop people from posting their 'rants' as you call them if they are valid and which are affecting people (myself included) right now.
Of course I'm very interested in what is happening right now, how things are affecting people right now, and it is good to discuss these things and also in terms for those that aren't political experts, but this place seems just against anything bad against the Tories and it's always the same, eg blame the last govt etc.
Arthurs posts are sometimes annoying, one sided etc but he is voicing what a lot of people will not say here especially on this forum because of how harsh this place can be. So for one I welcome his posts.

What has to be remembered is that a lot of peoples idea of good government is based on the Blair/Brown era ,an era i suspect you yourself are basing you political allegiances on .It was a "giveaway" era ,with more and more people entering the welfare system .When people get used to that, it is very hard to take away when the money runs out ,money i should add that was put in the bank ,so to speak,by the conservatives
