Tories: Fouled Mouthed And Incompetent Bullies?

Here in Britain we've become used to the Tories being incompetent so the fact that government borrowing in August was the highest since 1993 comes as no surprise. Nor does the fact that the Tories have managed to increase the deficit by 22% while the tax yield from corporations has actually shrunk by 10%. By any reckoning Britain is heading for economic disaster but the Tories, convinced that their idiotic theories must be right despite all the evidence that they are not, are becoming ever more arrogant and seem to feel that they have earned the right to abuse ordinary people as much as they like. Thus Lord Fink, the Conservative party treasurer, feels the time is right to insult our intelligence by telling us that the British economy would not survive if corporations couldn't avoid paying tax by using offshore tax havens. What we should be doing, he dares to tell us, is to turn Britain itself into a tax haven in order to attract to our shores the world's billionaires who don't want to pay tax to anyone anywhere. Meanwhile Andrew Mitchell, the new Tory Chief Whip, showed his real attitude towards ordinary people when he called a policeman a "f**king pleb" merely for doing his job. Verbal abuse is bad enough but, on the same day that Mr Mitchell was abusing a policeman, Tory Councillor Brian Coleman seemed to believe it was quite all right to physically attack a woman who objected to him parking his car in a restricted zone. Stupid we expect, arrogant we expect, greedy we expect - but now we are also supposed to put up with loutish behaviour apparently. These people are not fit to govern - indeed they don't seem even fit enough to walk our streets.
