Arguably never recovered fully from the shock of World war two - but they did remain significant players until at least the years. Ironically seems to have thought her approach might help to restore them and certainly some of the measures she put in place did improve their performance and probity (ironically these tended to be the ones scrapped by later governments!). However the debacle put paid to any hope of recovery by them.

In the post this morning...

1. A (aka ) bill for the year ahead, with a 5.1% increase to £2631.70. Thanks, !

2. The bollocks attached, telling us that we now need to vote.

My own vote, in both local and parliamentary elections, is utterly wasted given that we are surrounded by the Tory-voting waking dead. Yet off I dutifully go to the polling station.

[sigh]

I would tend to disagree. Surely it is a matter of size?

If the Nation came out on strike - or even a large proportion, like with - then this would work.

The problem, as I see it, is that most people would 'support' such an action, but from the safety of their sofas.

But, I can dream, can't I?
