Hello everyone!
Hope you’ve all had a great weekend. I certainly have, Friday was a big winner in my calender, now I’m stupidly excited about the huge demonstration on the 26th March. Hoping to see at least 11,000 on the streets of London taking part to show their love hate for the ConDem government.
I thought I’d show up and give you all some information on the cuts and how far they’ve already taken their toll. Not to forget that we’re not even half way there yet.
More than one in seven retail stores across the UK are empty and in some small towns the number of boarded-up shops is nearly as high as two in five. Worse still, a “growing” North-South divide is set to increase the overall vacancy rate to more than one in six shops over the next 18 months.
Matthew Hopkinson, a director of the Local Data Company, which compiled the figures, said:
“The sad reality is that the number of vacant shops are increasing, with certain areas of the country severely impacted and unlikely to recover.”
The Centre for Retail Research expects about 10,000 shops to close in 2011, as retailers reduce the size of their portfolios in the wake of economic pressure. HMV, for instance, said last month that bit planned to close 40 of its entertainment shops and 20 of its Waterstone’s book stores in January.
So, is closing down shops, privatising the economy, reducing jobs and increase VAT really the way to get out of a recession? Clearly not. I can’t even begin where to start when I say, Thatcher fucked it up once, Cameron will fuck it up again.
We’ve seen too much of this know, everyone’s crying over the middle class, how it’s going to get much harder and it’ll hit them hard. Forgive me for not caring about the middle class, but let’s draw out attention to the lower classes, those who still require government AID just to bring the bread home? Does Cameron realise how hard it is to get a job? Being told stats and figures is one thing, but going to the job centre every bastard day and coming home with an interview is something else. I read somewhere (forgetting where) that it’s 9 jobs to everyone 1 person. You don’t need me to tell you that Capitalism isn’t working.
As for blaming the recession on Labour, do it – I couldn’t give a toss. I hate Blair, I hate that other fat geezer whose name I can’t remember but you can’t hate on Labour for getting us and felch Conservatives for driving us further into it.
I think it’s time to take my money out the bank, buy a safe and watch the world around me crumble, the solution to getting out of a recession isn’t to kill off the working class, neither is it to close the public section, it’s definitely not to close all consumer outlets.
At a recent anti-tory meeting I found out that they’re aiming to stop funding Heroine addicts. Sure, okay.. drugs are bad. But if we stop funding their methadone, how else are they going to get off it? Or will they, will they be mugging and killing in streets for their drug money? It’s common fucking sense and Conservatives seem just too thick to think.
I’ll say it again. I fucking hate Conservatives. peace.
P.s I know the Tea Party movement is in America but they’re conservatives. that and I hate them cunts too.
