When I see photos of David Cameron wearing a poppy? David Cameron, whose government is cutting any last pretense we ever had at supporting veterans, and calling it "wasteful spending", and who is willing to drop some coins in a charity tin but not pay a fair slice of his income, because we all know that a few coins once a year is cheaper than tax and buys less for veterans, that David Cameron? The David Cameron who appears not to mind if veterans drop dead because they can't make the rent and bills or can't buy food because they've got no personal care and no mobility aids as a result of his public service cuts, but he's happy to take some PR credit for wearing a poppy in a not-at-all hypocritical manner?
I just want to puke.

It's completely bonkers that veterans should be supported by a charity.
ReplyDeleteThe state sent them to war, the state should pay for the after-care!!!
As a socialist I don't think any charities should really be necessary if we lived in a socialist utopia, but for goodness's sake, one of the first things the state should be paying for is veterans!
I find it completely baffling!
