Where to put your cross

What do we put first. Peoples needs, peoples wrongs or do we ignore such things and in effect wait to see how the cull improves the figures in the balance sheet.
The general election in the UK in four months time will, and is already being fought over this issue. Our balance sheet is in disrepair even after four years of austerity and one solution is to cut even more reducing the State and it's dealings with its people to a minimum. Like the Republican Party in the US, the concept is of a small government concerned largely with Defence and Foreign Affairs and it has taken hold of the Conservative Party who would place Internal Affairs, in the hands of the Market Place to be evaluated solely by the Profit and Loss Account. 

People, the general public, are seen more and more as a drain on the Exchequer, how much easier to import cheap labour when and where required rather than find ways of training the indigenous stock who, because of what they perceive as their birthright make unjustified demands on resources. 
The concept of a cull is attractive when one is fed a diet of fat unemployable people clogging up our A&E with self induced alcohol inflicted problems. A cull of the unintelligent, bone idle Benefit Seekers would address the borrowing we have to inflict on the Exchequer each month and put the balance sheet in a far better light. Culling is effective, as in the attack on the TB infected Badgers or on the cattle with Mad Cows Decease culling, although admittedly heavy handed sorts out the wheat from the chaff and as with any short term drastic solution it has its converts. There are many people in this country, as there were in Germany in the 30s who have little sympathy for people who they would not recognise as belonging to their own group or class and if you can convince yourself that they, like Johnny Foreigner belong elsewhere then the games up and you know where to place your cross at voting time.
A much more difficult political solution is the one which tells you the cull is not "civilised" and no matter how difficult, all human beings have the same value. The issue is how you tackle the incontrovertible issues raised by generations of poorly educated people and develop them to be fully paid up members of the human race.
The headline grabbing turgid stories of how the dregs of humanity stick two fingers up to us all has to be put into perspective and like people who are ill we have to understand their illness and find ways to treat them. Now you know where I am putting my cross !!
