So, Prime Minister David Cameron has been having a reshuffle of his government ministers. It's no big surprise that he has taken this opportunity to take a gigantic stride rightwards and appoint ministers who will do their utmost to undo much of the social progress of the last 100 years.
His appointment of Maria Miller as Equalities Minister is like putting Robert Maxwell in charge of the Bank of England. She has a record of opposing equality at every opportunity and pandering to racists and homophobes alongside her disgraceful treatment of the disabled at Remploy.
His appointment of Jeremy H(C)unt as Health Secretary is designed to secure the destruction of the NHS.
No surprise that Ian Duncan-Smith has remained at the Department of Work and Pensions where he will be able to attack the most vulnerable in society and force disabled people to work in unsuitable jobs and the jobless to work for free (contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights).
Basically, this reshuffle is merely re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. This is a government which is hated by many and only loved by the fat-cats who received a tax cut in the last budget while the rest of us saw our income drop substantially thanks to their policies.
I remain convinced this is a one-term government. Their removal from power cannot come a day too soon.
