I’m struggling to see a clear dividing line between the goodies and the baddies in this movie.

Plus it’s not obvious to me why simply resisting is a good thing. Cuts are inevitable under any government and public finances will be tight for a generation. How about the local left building a viable alternative for a new localist era? The coop council movement is a much more creative and popular response that just shouting ‘no’.

Because they never use them and it is not part of their carve up thee UK for the private chums agenda…Cameron was offered as a houshold name,,,because he invaded every house through sky and the BBC…not because he is real…he is nothing, a single glazing saleman…the emptiness should be expected..and seen as a weakness that should be challenged at all turns as real opposition and independent challenge to their deeply flawed agenda
