You Can Keep Moaning, Or You Can Try To Do Something

I restarted this blog just over a year ago with a rant about how the government was failing the country. I can’t remember what was the straw that broke the camel’s back and forced me to putting technological pen to paper. I think it was reading about the phenomenal amount of money wasted on a badger cull that seemed doomed to failure whilst the government was cutting funding to much more needed services. I’ve done quite a bit of complaining since then – about the cuts to the Disabled Students Allowance that was ‘backed up’ by an appalling misuse of irrelevant statistics; about the  demonisation of immigrants ; and about cuts to benefits and the excessive demands made of those on unemployment benefit .
