24-Valve: Good Rant
I'm a socialist, not a communist, and a libertarian, and a free marketeer on some issues - i'm a diverse mix of lots of things - like most people
No political ideology is perfect and extremes are always the least perfect - so I muddle along the middle just left of centre for the most part
Climate change exists, and its our fault and something needs to be done - I agree with the science, but I don't think we (humans) are capable of doing anything about it, sadly. And I'm probably the worst example as I don't really give a monkeys about the environment - I should, but there you go
I don't have time to go through all your good points but 2 quickies - the tories were architects of their own destruction in Scotland, most working class voted overwhelmingly tory up until the mid 50's (they secured 51% of the vote in '55 - a record never seen since) but they threw all that away culminating in the disastrous Thatcher years, where the working class were relentlessly attacked - now the tories are an irrelevance up here
and on ID cards - myself and my wife both talked seriously about this a few years ago and both agreed we'd go to prison rather than carry ID cards because it's an absolute betrayal of trust, of living and working in a free society, of being innocent until proven guilty and it would be yet another loss of freedom that this government have been chipping away at under the guise of "anti-terrorism" we all have to be very very watchful when hard fought libertiess start slipping away
