Just had a good Laugh

I have just been watching the Andrew Mair show, where he was interviewing the home secretary, why is it any politicians finds it impossible to answer a straight question,at no time was and answer given, but a round about answer, trying to show innocence and diverting the answer.
When you watch these people you either laugh or cry with frustration or like me want to throw the computer out the window.
Just think what you could do with that amount of money, to have two homes, when a lot of you are losing yours.
 
I am very pleased to see a hospital taking the right action in regard to tackling infection, just be cutting down the time of visiting patients in hospital.  Patients do need time to recover.  It can be very tiring having visitors, but the next time you visit someone just look at where the visitors sit, mostly sprawled over the bed, eating the fruit and drinking the squash, how do the staff know where these people have been, and do all visitors wash their hands after using the toilet! you would be surprised at that answer.
If this can be shown to reduce infection it should be carried out at all hospitals.
 
Feel like jumping around, like the American students working as Social Workers, what knowledge do these young people have, have they come background which money is no obstacles, would they know how the system works, and are they street wise, again I think not, just taking the word of the person who they are supposed to be assessing, in other words pulling the wool over their eyes.
Could they be told that the system works like this, but in actual fact not true. I am sure we will hear a lot more on this subject.
In the bog I wrote about baby P, did I not say that a lot more cases come out in to the open, now we have more reports out and court cases reported.
 
Oh I see that those poor bankers have pull the wool over the politicians eyes, by having huge payouts when leaving, and just wait and see the amount of money that will be paid out in bonuses, when they think the public has gone to sleep. 
 
Tomorrow I will be fighting to reduce the council tax, I would like to see zero% in this time of grave monetary concern, have you seen the rise of food prices and the utilities have not put their prices down, and to see the down turn in manufacturing is a very worrying time, having said that , just round the corner is Spring and sun shine.
