We’ll be living in a true Democracy when……an occasional series II

We can listen to the hogwash about there 'never being enough money to fund the health service, the new premature baby ward, the extra school books, the local hospice, the emergency services, the care of the environment, the care of the elderly, the protection of children, the safety of our climate, the cessation of pollution, the funding of the local recycling scheme, the safeguarding of green-field sites, the building of affordable housing, the cleansing of our water courses……………but there’s always enough for an extra gun', and reply, "Hm, well sorry, but the people of this country disagree. They say that, on moral grounds alone, you should cancel that consignment of CS gas-cannister launchers you've just ordered as there's a severe shortage of National Health dentists in the country at present; divert that saved M.O.D. expenditure there, please.".......and that's what the government will do.
