What you’re saying is correct but the genesis of this part of the argument was, governments aren’t responsible the people are.    Basically arguing that Tory incompetence is tough luck and people should be able to just get on with it and look after themselves. A nurses salary today doesn’t go as far as it did 15 years ago but that’s on them to suck it up because it’s enough and easy to cut ones cloth, regardless of personal circumstance.    It’s utter garbage. But that’s not to say I’m claiming zero people could do better & have no personal responsibility for their hardships.   FS just has no capability to understand anything that isn’t an absolute. If I was to say it’s raining outside. He’d ask why I was claiming it was raining everywhere in the world. 

Friday night was a sold out gig at St Luke's by Blue Rose Code. Absolutely brilliant.  Played the new album from start to finish then some old favourites.   Saturday night was Elderslie band King of Birds in Coatbridge.  The boys were in tremendous form, as evidenced by not one, but two well deserved standing ovations.
