		<description>Old Mencken said it best, &quot;The farmer, may he be God-damned forever and ever, will always be with us, hat in hand and hand out....&quot;

I got run out by inheritance tax in 1984-- then won a lottery (!) and have 160 little acres close to home, all free and clear and God Damn You, where I raise barley for a brewery and otherwise hobby around at it (bees, workhorses, cats.)

Everyone else here is a subsidy case, too, and they are all tools and serfs of Big Ag and Big Chemistry.  They have to beg, borrow, buy and steal thousands of acres to get the cash back just to pay off the GM seed and the leasing on their $380,000 combines.  It&#039;s just that I got a bizarre leg up to get back in it and have never been in any &quot;programs.&quot;  Anyway, as I said, I am out of soybean and corn (maize) production which is fine, soy except for paint and plastic is not fit -- and cannot be made fit by industrial methods -- for human consumption.  It is shit and the mash from it fed to pigs causes that nasty, runny gooey pork in the markets.  &quot;Safe vegetable spread&quot; is a lie by medical &quot;managers&quot; and their footling doctors who want to keep all the tasty fat beef and butter for themselves.  The only way a little soy is alright is as tofu and as traditioanlly fermented Jap sauce.  Period.

Moving right along, THESE are the late-civilizational signs of FINAL God-damn collapse: 

Everyone (!) is a just-kept house coon and client for professional liberals, and you only escape (sort of) if you either get capital in a lawsuit win or by gambling.</description>

		<description>Bodwyn Wook ............. Don&#039;t even get me started on the farming community!!! If it was up to me I would nationalise the bloody lot of them and grab all of their land back to give people who know about crop-growing and animal husbandry.

If there is one group of self-serving, whingeing, whining &#039;over-worked and underpaid&#039; members of society that milk Governments for all they are worth .......... it&#039;s farmers. They put the truly decent hard-working ethical farmers to shame.</description>

		<description>You know, I have some Irish forebears and it is a circumstance of which I am continuously and bitterly ashamed.  These ornaments McGuiness and Adams are just the tip of the iceberg.  Just look at the leering moony mugs and blowhard profiles of the two legalized theft artists (grin, grin, smirk, smirk!)  Then there are all of these &quot;real&quot; IRA bullshitters hiding behind Sinn Fein, these disgusting,  swag-bellied, above all repulsive and perverted,  dirty-minded old bucks, IRA and Unionist alike, who spend all their time when they aren&#039;t fomenting phony &quot;outrage,&quot; beating their wives and bellyaching, leering at kiddie porn.  This IS objective:  You CAN tell by looking at these skunks what they are like.  My farm neighbor twenty-five years ago was another one of these blowhards, used to shoot his dairy bull in the the scrotum with birdshot, was thrown in the can for attempting his daughters and bragged about sending money to the IRA.  He bragged also about being an Irishman for some unaccountable reason, and like in a sort of dirty fable by Seamus Heaney, the tormented Holstein-Frisian bull finally caught his son&#039;s knee against the silo takeout augur and destroyed the boy&#039;s leg.  An accursed saga across the board, bedwetters and race nationalists of the lowest sort.  Yuck.</description>

		<description>Interesting that if one divides £5400 by 31 (the maximum number of days in the month) one arrives at just over £174.  Nineteen pence over, in fact. 

If instead they stayed at the County Hall Premier Inn, just across Westminster Bridge, it would cost us £119 per room per night (£109 at weekends). 

For the life of me, I can&#039;t see why we should pay any more than that!</description>

		<description>Very true RayD . The British government has always been good for employing people who have previously been persona non grata. After  WW1 they paid thousands of ex prisoners (civilian and military) to serve in an army colloquially known as Black &amp; Tans and sent them to Ireland as a paramilitary force. They became notorious as a result of their numerous attacks (often murderous) on the Irish civilian population.</description>

		<description>Lest we forget, Gerry Adams was unemployed and on benefit before becoming an MP. We paid him to plan how to blow us up. Aren&#039;t you pleased?</description>

		<description>The First Past the Post system patently does not result in all of our votes counting. However, I believe that if you do not vote you have no right to complain about the subsequent work of government.

That said, in the years up to 1997 Labour promised to take steps to reform our electoral system but, like all groups who reach the top of the hierarchy, once they were there their ideology went out the window.

Shame on them.</description>

note your comment but, and it&#039;s a big BUT, the assumption is that a vote counts - it patently doesn&#039;t except in marginal seats. Additionally, what would happen if nobody voted? 

The system is and has been corrupt for years and years - this is not new merely a different manifestation of the same thing. The professional politicians that hold the positions of power in this country (laughs out loud) are merely self serving bastards as are the civil servants and personnel that support the great edifice. Read Dan Hannan on this. Surely by participating on their terms we are merely proving their entitlement to continue their abuse?? This has to stop!</description>

		<description>Couldn&#039;t agree more Blink. I am not a fan of the EU, but given that it exists, and contains people like Dan Hanan, perhaps we should be supporting it and be rid of this lot - most legislation comes from Brussels now, these incompetent nincompoops are only rubber stamping it anyway.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s time for the dissolution of Parliament.

There are local elections and European elections coming up. How can anyone in their right mind want to vote for any of them? By doing so they/ we are giving credence to this corrupt system with its corrupt politicians and civil servants.

I have written to my MP stating clearly that I have no faith in the system - what&#039;s he going to do about it? - and will not be voting for anyone. I&#039;m not holding my breath on a reply!

It&#039;s about time the people of this country stood up and be counted.</description>
