FUCK fuck fuck fuck they've elected in a BNP counsellor in Barking. Fuck. Fuckit. Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck I don't want to go back. That actually makes the idea of going home more than a little scary. BNP voting neighbours. Fuckit.

(Not actually my constituency, but the boundary's about three doors down the road....)

ETA: Eleven out of thirty-nine counsellors in Barking. And a new BNP counsellor in my home constituency too, too...

knew I should have committed electoral fraud

*spits*

it seems to assume that most people have absolutely no political nouse of their own and will believe the spin you put on something

That would be a fair assumption to make based upon our current political system. ;-)

I think that the article does make a useful point that re-phrasing what one has to say will assist people in understanding it. Because of these 'vibes' I have great difficulty in explaining to anyone what libertarians are interested in. For example, if I say "the welfare state has failed the poor by keeping them trapped in poverty, we should abandon it" they hear "f**k the poor", and so on.

Yeah, well, that's why it's so fucking creepy. God don't people think *growls*

Mostly I just think 'can't see another way working any better...' I think the welfare state is fixable.

But then you knew that already.
