Comment is Free

You know right about now I am feeling mightily pissed off, I mean really hacked off to the Nth degree, the cat's been kicked out and the dogs done a brown ! (fucking scarpered out of the way!)



I Have just been reading a post on Comment is Free, now it was brought to my attention by DK, who's fisking of it led to me reading it in full. Now whilst I understand what DK has said and heartily agree with much if not all of his sentiment, it had the same effect, it fucking incensed me. Not the actual article you understand but the comments, and these people are supposed to be the cream of our country?



I have been many things in my life, most notably a bit of a piss head, never done drugs apart from the beer and fags, even been called a twat more than a few times.



A small part of one of the comments;

No. There should be absolutely no referendum on the EU. On this issue the British people are complete idiots and cannot be trusted to arrive at a decision that is in their interests, since they understand close to nothing about it. The bewildered herd need to be led to a brighter future by men and women who DO understand what's at stake.



Now I want to know just who this fucker thinks he is, not withstanding that I went to a secondary modern have trouble spelling, every qualification I have, I had to earn and pay for in my own time, boy does this fucker takes the biscuit!



As ever they all miss the fucking point, my education matters not a jot, what matters is that on a low income, I and others like me bear the brunt of all the idiotic policies that come out of the EU FULL STOP!



I can see that I am being talked down to, that as I am working class I am too thick to have any worthwhile opinion, FFS the internet is upon us, its here and now, I can read and research, I don't have to believe all your propaganda! I can and will make up my own mind, but more than that, every Friday I go down the pub and sink a few beers, and I convince my mates, the lads I drink with that the EU is bad for the UK. Not that they take much persuading!



They are sparkies, truck drivers, deliverymen, plumbers, builders and yes even an ice cream man, we see the companies we work for struggling to make ends meet, tied up with silly red tape! We don't all read the Sun and the Mirror, and okay some of us do read the Express and the mail, but others read the Independent, the Observer, and telegraph, and we don't believe all we read and we talk about it and find out more.



The area I live in is or was staunchly Labour, yet in the local council elections the Lib Dems came in with 201 votes less than Labour, the Tories came nowhere. But had there been a someone else to vote for, who knows what might have happened! This from an area that now is starting to hate Labour as much as the Tories. The tide has turned, things can only get better if we can convince the one eyed twat to hold a referendum!!!
