POlitically we have been going round in circles for years and we desperately need a fresh view. Personally I think that the people who pull the strings behind the scenes don't WANT anything to change. UKIP is growing out of despair!bryboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00854869835916315551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170277338293360731.post-42610285728534212682013-06-23T10:52:13.989-07:002013-06-23T10:52:13.989-07:00Russell Brand was also on Question Time in the wee...Russell Brand was also on Question Time in the week which I was surprised to see, however!, he did offer some relief (albeit only slightly entertaining) from hearing the same old droll from the other mainstream contributors which included Boris Johnson who just likes to hear his own voice. Admitted, Russell probably isn't the most qualified to offer any sort of strong fact based opinion, but on the subject of fighting drugs he excelled having had first hand experience! I think he also writes a column these days which I think you may have pointed out a while back where he wrote an interesting piece following the death of Margaret Thatcher from a young boys perspective (which I could relate to being of a similar age).<br /><br />Anyway all this only goes to back up Nigel Farage's claim that they're all the same party and offer no real solutions. Many of the younger audience were quizzing Boris on the lack of affordable homes which he was unable to give an acceptable response to. He sounded out of touch and no doubt is.<br /><br />All this cost cutting (IMO) is a complete drop in the ocean. None of it is making any Impression on the 'deficit' in fact I think we owe more now than we did five years ago! <br />SABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16245996702526696706noreply@blogger.com
