I REALLY HATE that this is clearly true.

@cstross I do not believe I will ever understand this thing that the UK excels at where they'll look at a political party that wavers between 70% and 90% doing the right thing with a historical track record that includes *creating the NHS* and go "weeeeeeelllllll yeah, but it's not 100% is it?" ... and then vote for the Tories. Who have killed more english people than the wehrmacht and done more damage to the UK in a week than the IRA could do in 30 years.
I mean, it's like S&M but unhealthy.
@markdennehy @cstross the party that created the NHS and the current crop of corporate sellouts who are privatising the NHS at a gallop and creating enterprise zones so they can sell us to Blackrock are very different things.
@francis @markdennehy Separated by 75-80 years, alas. That's two *long* political careers apart.
