Dear Prime Minister

[la_marquise]

Dear Prime Minister,

So it's appropriate to tell a female colleague to 'Calm down, dear' in public, is it, and then claim that it was a joke and a cultural reference, and that makes it okay? It's appropriate that your boon companion (and our chancellor of the exchequer) to find it hilarious? It's appropriate for one of your other ministers and fellow travellers to make a speech claiming that it is all the fault of middle class women if working class men haven't gone to university, because those women used space when they could have got married and had children?

I didn't vote for you. I probably would never vote for you and your party, because I oppose what you stand for. But you just ensured that I will never under any circumstances develop any respect for you, either.

yours,

La Marquise.

This government is amazing. Every time I almost slip into hating the Tories just out of habit, out they trot and give me a fresh reason to hate them properly. They're not as bad as they seem: they're worse!

This is very much the way I feel about the Republicans in the US.

Yup. Too fed up to add anything else, really.

Indeed. And it's just stupid. They've put a lot of work into the "Liberal Conservative" act. Just to blow it like this?
