A lesson for David Cameron

What do you get if you:
- fail to tackle the outrageous salaries of bankers and senior managers
- let the gap between rich and poor grow wider every year
- tell people we can't afford to look after the unemployed and disabled
- cut public services
- keep wages below subsistence level
- fail to tackle the hike in the cost of everyday items like food, train fares and petrol to get us to work and tell us to be glad we've got jobs
- invade Iraq without justification and then send our armed forces off to fight in a pointless war in Afghanistan
- try to persuade us our problems lie with immigrants?

Well, Mr Cameron, as you have just seen: you get a population that believes they live in a poor country which can't afford to play its part in world affairs. You get your own MPs believing this. And don't bother blaming the Labour Party in Westminster, which acted on principle in last night's vote.

The UK has turned in 3 years into a small-minded, introverted backwater, turning its back on Europe and now the wider world. And no one is to blame except the Tory party.

Are any of the Downing Street Tory party wonks familiar with the expression: as you sow, so shall ye reap?

Or, as we say in Glasgow, hell whack in intae ye - ye deserve everything that's coming. Bring on the next general election.
