He sounds a little disillusioned with what the coalition has done, doesn't he? Perhaps millions of workers round the country are too. But David Cameron in PM's Question Time can't get enough of his and George Osbourne's amazing wizardry in turning round a failed economy and making of it a veritable paradise! The UK is the greatest, richest, happiest place on earth according to him. Perhaps it is. But given the total misery that now besets the whole planet it's not saying much. That the lowest paid UK worker is now going to get an extra 30p an hour to add to his measly £6.70 (if I've remembered the figures right?) is underwhelmingly pointless. What will he do with it? Buy a packet of crisps to celebrate?

And a few thousand people have now got jobs they didn't have before in some corner of our green and pleasant land, and in the N.East well the recovery is beyond belief, says the PM. But even if it was true how many people are there left among us who genuinely feel that everything is fine, and that capitalism is truly fabulous like the promised land, and is working wonders for us all in providing stupendously successful nay triumphant Health and Education services and the like, and making us all believe and proving to us all that life at last is really worth the living. Thanks to capitalism! What lies, hypocrisy and crap it all is.

Do the bourgeoisie and its politicians think we are total idiots? Even if capitalism managed to find a way to be 100% miraculous and provide us all with a permanent boring and mind-destroying job, who wants it anyway? Who really wants to go on submitting to the negation of life that capitalism imposes? Let's get rid of it soon!
