Why don't politicians just fuck off?

Nothing they ever do about anything leads to an improvement.

    I agreed that they should definitely fuck off, but this will be pushed y the security services. A change of government won’t change the drive for this sort of bollocks.

    What about all the people that aren’t that who loose their privacy?

    “politicians never do anything good” is a myopic viewpoint that is completely understandable in the modern political climate, i think. which is unfortunate, because a political party that learned to harness that energy to actually become known for doing good could probably grow very quickly
