Here's one I made earlier...

I've just fired off another broadside to the BBC HYS. I somehow doubt it will get published! Sadly the happiness and optimism I was feeling last night is draining away in the face of all the rubbish being spouted by the usual suspects. As I said in that post " Please could all you whingers retire to a quiet corner to lick your wounds of envy and spite and leave the rest of us to enjoy a little optimism for a little while". I am just so disheartened by the negativity out there. OK, George Osborne might not be a good chancellor, but on the other hand he might and he should at least be given a chance. He could hardly do worse than the last chancellor but one. What else am I sick of? All the bleating Labour voters crying into their giros or -more likely- their gold plated public sector or union pensions, pensions which we poor sods in the private sector can no longer afford after the last 13 years of daylight robbery.
And then there's the 'I've torn up my Lib Dem/Conservative membership card' brigade....sorry, don't believe you. You are just the usual labour apparatchicks lying your heads off. I even recognised several names/styles of very pro-Labour commentors pretending to be Tory/Lib dem. Do they really think we are that stupid? I and the two younger Chipolatas have just JOINED the Conservative party as have many others.

It just goes on

The bilge tsunami continues, unhindered by common sense, encouraged by our trouble making media. The same media that as far as I'm concerned utterly buggered up the election with their mischief making and shit stirring. I'm almost getting to the stage that I don't care anymore, they can all go hang as we -the public- are stuffed anyway. Then my natural optimism reasserts itself and I start thinking that the Con/Lib pact could be a Very Good Thing providided the europhiles can be kept under control. Couldn't Eric Pickles sit on them? That would shut them up nicely.
On a lighter note, my beloved Chelsea cheered me up hugely yesterday. I've supported them for 42 of my 46 years and it's been well worth it. Now if I could just get my exploding boiler replaced, my sick cat healed and the youngest Chipolata through her university exams I would be a much happier sausage altogether!

What next?

I'm sitting here feeling very deflated and rather emotional, difficult to say exactly why, apart from the obvious that I wish G. Drown would take himself and a gun into the billiard room and do the decent thing. He'd probably miss!.
I've been thinking about electoral reform because in all honesty it is a complete clusterf*ck at the moment. obviously I'm a Tory but I do have some sympathy for the SNP, Plaid Cymru and in this context the Lib Dems in particular. I hate the idea of PR as I feel it leads to weak government and far too much crap behind closed doors, so how about this for a plan?
Assume the electorate totals approximately 45 million; make 450 seats FTP, but with the boundaries redrawn so that each constituency contains 100,000 voters. This is fair, but does not address the current inequity suffered by the smaller parties. To address this I would suggest everybody be given a second vote, to cast for the PARTY of their choice, 150 further seats being available pro rata. So, for instance, on yesterday's results so far the Lib Dems would have an extra 35 seats (approx). This would give some recognition of their status. The SNP would gain a few seats too, which in my opinion is vital for the health of Scotland. Hopefully they could then build on this. I would also hope that people would feel more engaged in the whole process, as they would feel that their vote really did count.
An additional small benefit would be a reduction in the number of MPs. it would be easy and cheap to impliment and is something that DC could offer to Mr. Clegg almost instantly.
More later.

More bilge

I wouldn't have thought it possible but the tide of bilge seems to have increased again and it's getting seriously depressing. Who ARE these people? Should we be introducing a minimum IQ requirement before people are allowed to vote? Honestly, the screeds of crap I see being poured out in the MSM leave me completely baffled. It would appear that a goodly proportion of the populace seriously believe that G Brown is honest! How??? That man and his minions have shat on us from a great height for 13 fucking years. How can they not see it? And why is none of the labour party's rubbish being exposed? They lie about EVERYTHING and they have stolen our freedom. How can it be that they could win an election with 5% LESS of the vote than the Tories? I realise that this is even more marked for the Lib Dems....

Drowning in bilge

Further to my previous entry...The bilge quotient seems to be rising and at this rate will drown us all. It's coming from all sides, though mainly the so called left and their fellow-travellers. the worst thing is those creeps who pretend that they have always voted a certain way (Tory) but have now 'seen the light' and are going to vote Lib Dem (oooh, that lovely Mr. Clegg) or Labour (ooooh that Mr. Brown, he's honest, he has substance). Maybe there is something lacking in me but I cannot see the loveliness of Clegg, and Brown lies so freely that it is a surprise that is pants are not permanently aflame. As for substance: concrete has substance and so, for that matter, does bullshit. I can understand the Scottish nationalists, for they genuinely believe in something. I can also understand libertarians, the urge to be free, the desire to see things done differently, that is an entirely reasonable view. I do worry a bit about UKIP, all they seem to be managing is to rip into the Tory vote and just what does that achieve? 5 more years of Nulabour, with all the horrors inherent in that....The BNP? No decent person could countenance that, surely? But then I do have the benefit of having spent a year at school with N Griffin. His views were utterly abhorrent then and I see nothing to suggest they have changed since. More on that in another post sometime.
And then there's electoral fraud. We know it's happening, we know which party is (mainly) doing it. Will anything be done? I doubt it.
I'm very angry today but not entirely sure why. I'm an optimistic flavour of Sausage most of the time, living my life quite contentedly with Mr. Sausage and the 3 Chipolatas, trying to get on with things, trying to keep the crumbling Sausage Mansions from disintegrating about our ears. Minding my own business, living by my guiding tenet of 'do as you would be done by'. I'm not a naturally angry person. but there is something about the cynisism I see everyday in the media that is getting to me, big time.
That's all for now, a therapeutic episode of Dr. Who beckons...

Probably invisible

As per the title this will probably remain the most invisible and unread blog in the history of blogging. That's ok with me, I just needed some rantspace to unload before my head explodes. I've just been reading the HYS on the BBC about last night's debate....Christ on a bike, people moan about the standard of debate among the actual candidates but the level on there is so low it is positively subterranean. All the usual suspects (and their little friends, no doubt) frothing at the mouth about things they all too obviously don't understand in the slightest. Mrs Sausage doesn't claim to know much about anything but I will damn well go and find out as best I can before I let rip with my -possibly dubious- views. Is it too much to ask that others do likewise?
