Tories privatise the nation, as planned. British people take the hit.

The Citizen — Wed, 11 May 2011 14:28:49 +0000

The effects of Tories privatising Britain are starting to hit home, and it’s the people who take the hit, not the rich or the bankers who created the problems.

Nazi police stormtroopers subdue democratic protest

Toothless MPs make bankers 'trial' a farce

Surprisingly, the four masters of [...]
