Yeah, but they are working with children, so they are pretty much bullet proof at the moment. What politician wants to be accused of “hurting the kids”? It will take a little longer before the UK population is wised up enough for Cameron to be able to move on UNICEF.
Therein is the crux of ALL of our problems. Politicians only care about getting reelected by people who really don't understand the issues. They give away our money [i.e., the 60% of us who pay taxes] to those who don't pay taxes. Personally, my feeling is: If you don't pay taxes, you don't get to vote. Think about how that would alter the landscape!
