A bumper list of 100 Coalition achievements

[Mapped]

My next door neighbour is in the TA, she's 21 and works behind the counter in Boots. She seems to enjoy it a lot, but hasn't been called up anywhere yet.

15. Home Information Packs, a bureaucratic impediment on the housing market, have been dropped.

I thought HIP's were quite a good idea.

Freeing Libya. The UK played a key role in the overthrow of the Gaddafi dictatorship. Our military intervention averted a massacre in Benghazi and toppled an international criminal who gave Semtex to the IRA and was responsible for the shooting of a police officer in a London and the bombing of a plane over Lockerbie.

claiming that one as a victory for the tory party now?

Oh fucking hell's teeth...

I can't be fucked any more... it really does just wear you down. Like water dripping on a stone.

Refuse to work, ffs.

I was looking at that list last night, and trying to figure out what the jarring note in it was.


It's two things.

One, judgementalism. Maybe it's part of the preciousness of my profession, but I have had to learn not to sit in judgement on others. I don't say I achieve it all the time, but I can say that I am pretty well constantly trying not to. Reading that web page makes me realise just how entitled Conservatives seem to feel to judge anyone and anything from a position of superiority: a position that I am sure none of them are any more qualified than the rest of us to occupy.

Secondly, punitiveness. It is as if the only thing they possess in their repertoire of dealing with other people is punishment: someone is doing something you don't like? Hit them with a big stick. They don't stop? Hit them with a bigger stick. Dole claimant too fat? Punish them. Benefits recipient can't work? Assume it's a "refusal" and punish them. Always punish, never encourage (although we'll dress some punishments up as "encouragement", and claim to be encouraging them). One might almost think these people get off on sticking it to anyone who can't fight back...
