The Braying Hordes of British Politics are in the House

Once again, I stupidly switched to Prime Minister's Question Time, expecting reasoned debate by those who do and those who would lead our country in Government. I wanted to hear our Prime Minister answer those questions and our Chancellor to explain the economic plans. None of which has happened.
Once again I am flabbergasted by the inane bickering and disrespectful baying of the most disgusting excuses for human beings that have ever been offered the privilege of life.
These braying loons are the people we are required to offer our votes for. They are the most abhorrent, selfish, wilful creatures on the face of the planet. At least a virus has a point. At least a virus provides a result. These pathetic multi-celled mistakes are an affront to all humanity.
They have elevated "ducking and diving" to an art form. Or, more properly expressed, they have utterly devalued everything worthwhile about politics; debate, reasoning, honour, respect and public service.
There can be no doubt that while they call for respect in society and understanding, tolerance and patience where people, real people, honest, hard working, desperate people are concerned, they are incapable of doing so themselves. Such that what they say and what they "stand" for can never again be trusted or believed.
More than ever before, I am disgusted by the Members of Parliament who deigned to appear in the House today. And even more appalled that not all did.
How dare they.
We live and profit in spite of them. They cannot be allowed to continue in this vein.
Revolution is a word that scares and inspires people. It scares people because of its connotations of violence and destruction. But it inspires because is intrinsically a method for change. And that is what we require. Not just a revolution within public services or the civil services, but a revolution in our thinking and our views for the future. And it must start with wholesale change within government. Our elected leaders must be held more accountable than ever. There must be more inter-party collaboration and more people in positions of responsibility and authority must be allowed and required to use that authority responsibly.
How can we be proud of our country when what our leaders appear to think makes it great and worthy of pride is exactly what is destroying it? You cannot have it both ways. We genuinely need change. And if that change is called revolution, then so be it. There need be no violence. There need be no destruction, except that of old, dead beliefs and unworkable policies.
We have the opportunity to say so much and yet do so little. We need more parity and an understanding that what we want is not necessarily what we'll get, but in the end, what we build will better fit the country in which we live and of which we will again be justly proud, than what we currently suffer with.
I am proud to be part of an amazing country, populated by fabulous people who enjoy incredible freedoms and expect their rights to be upheld and respected. I am not proud of the way all of that is manipulated by the minority for the minority in a country so, apparently, proud of its democratic history.
Do not lose sight of what we can achieve and work together to achieve better.
The only way to kill a virus is to starve it of what it needs. We need to starve this one of greed. That has to start with each of us. If you genuinely believe that what we have is what we must put up with, without ever doing anything to change it except voting for the same policies under a different party's name, then we are lost as a nation, as a people. If we change our own habits and expectations, then we can affect change everywhere.
I look forward to seeing what happens in the future. Let's make it a good one.
