It would seem that Christmas has come a tad early for me this year: dad just set up my pc at home, and installed my new roller ball. This, of course,, needed to happen as I had broken my other one. not too sure how – it just broke. However, unlike my old roller ball, which had a button for dragging, I can’t find the drag facility on this one, which may make highlighting text interesting. I should, I suppose, go consult the handbook, but that would be admitting defeat.
Dad suggested writing something about how xmas effects disabled people. personally, it doesn’t effect me too much, except I get even lazier. However, most of you are no doubt aware that the ‘Christmas bonus’ we cripples get is something like fifteen quid. This is pitiful: its only about ten beers. Yet, joking aside, I suspect this could be even worse if the Tories are elected.
I’m starting to despair, quite frankly, at the opinion polls. A conservative government would be a disaster for disabled people, and the country, for it would set us back ten years to the gross mismanagement of john major. Would you believe that that fool claimed yesterday that the prosperity of the Blair years was due to the systems he put in place? Either the guy is deluded, stupid, or both. The country was going to hell in a hand basket before Blair and brown saved it.
People seem to have forgotten this, and now that everyone’s doing reasonably well, are becoming more conservative in outlook. What they forget is that turning back towards the right will undo all the good done since 97; they forget that conservatism only serves those who have money, and lets those who have not fall by the wayside. If we elect the conservative party, the old social inequalities will return. That fifteen quid will seem like fifteen hundred.
For the sake of the society we have built, and the ghost of cripmas future, don’t be fooled by CaMoron.
