Drat! And double drat!

David Cameron is UK's new prime minister...from the BBC's website.

Inevitable, I suppose, but...crud.

Well, he gave a nice speech (and urg -- I could tell what time of the month it was, because it made me cry: a Tory made me cry).

All I can say is good luck, and hope that Clegg asked for something useful (like "don't be a fuckhead") instead of three ministries and a cool-job-to-be-announced later.

I wonder if one of them will get mine? That should be interesting.

We welcome our new overlords, and the years of prosperity and justice they herald. Sure, what would you be wanting with a welfare state anyway?

Well exactly, why should the poor need a safety net? It's not as if they're poor or anything, is it?

I hope it's not as bad as it could be.

I'm reading the manifesto on the Guardian liveblog. At least they're planning to roll back a lot of the Labour government's civil liberties stuff.

But oog.

Oog is about right. I foresee endless industrial disputes between us as employees and them as the employer, and consequently endless days of strike action. Some people will love it, but I really do hate it.

Scotland is still mostly Tory free. I realise that's not much consolation for you though.

Cold comfort, I'm afraid. My MP is Labour, and that's not helping much, either.

That's rather more polite than my thoughts. We just wait for his paternity leave in a few months.

My thoughts are not polite. Not in the slightest. And not just because we in the public sector can look forward to endless strikes while we do battle with our new overlords.
