For whom the bell tolls

Why do these politicians think that just giving back the money makes this mess go away, we have seen the duplicity, and the attitude of some, makes one feel like lashing out.

It is unbelievable that one of the big offenders has been given a vote of confidence, what am I missing, one has taken the tax payer for all they can get, if one of us so much as to even try these scams, we would end up in jail,

I have just read that my MP charged for baby wipes, has he regressed to childhood. I have said in a previous blog that all those MPs should stand down, and as for the Labour party having another leader to take them into the next election, how many more do we have to endure to make a total cock-up with the little we have in the bank.

This inquiry into the war in Iraq to be held behind closed doors, smacks of the usual cover up, never mind the families that are still grieving and the injured service personal who have to go on with the injuries sustained.

Why have not the lawyers for the Iraq people not asked for our last Prime Minster and Mr Bush to be tried for war crimes. Will we ever find out, not if we have people who are friends of the above, and also why not ask again what happened to our special scientist who was working by looking for weapons of mass destruction but found none?

On to a much better note

I have seen the women who can play cricket and football even shown on the sports pages of a national paper, oh my it has just occurred to these sports writer's that we can take the Ashes and World titles, unlike some of our men, or am I just being mean to these over paid men and big egos The women are training for all sports that at one time was the male sport only.

Good on these ladies, and lets see more of reporting on these actions.

Oh by the way the people of Kingsteignton have been looking for the last two years for land to have as allotments, and do you think we have succeeded indeed no, one of the big land owners has said he can not sell us any land as he needs it, guess what, they are going to build more housing then we need in this Town, but they will not be affordable oh no, poor souls thinking of their millions to put in the bank, cynical you bet.

Your right to have vote as to who Governs us

Who Governs this Country?

I thought that people of this country voted for men and women to govern and make laws for the good of all.

Am I missing something here, we have had people put into office who have never been elected to the office of cabinet, sorry if this is how this man thinks that we who pay their wages will take no notice of the scrawny group of non elected people to govern us no we the people of this country demand an election to take place, so we have the democratic right to say who governs us.

Rules must be change,

That is being said by one of the big perpetrators of miss use of public money, and guesses what he has put himself to over see this.

Do we ask the felons who have embezzled funds to audit the government books, well I hope not; perhaps they should sort out the EU accounts!

We are being told that our Prime Minster will get us through this mess, but think on who got us there is the first place, no all those MPs were only thinking of their own bank accounts, not the good of this country., that is why they said carry on being our leader.

NHS what will happen when the EU legist ration on working hours comes into force?

The article written by Professor Black pointed out clearly the implication of the break down of service.

Doctors and Nursing staff plus all ancillary staff will not be allowed to work overtime, only set hours laid down by the EU.

Let's face it the Labour members of the gravy train voted for this.

The consequent will be care being curtailed and cold lists even cancelled, due to the surgeons have to work through the night with emergency cases, going over time.

One of the big losers will be junior doctors, in getting tutorials, ward experience, in the allotted time.

Pity that the people who make these laws have no understanding of care and time involved with sick and very ill people.

Just think of the time spent in out-patients by all staff, I can just see the scene of doctor saying sorry but we have gone over our allotted time, you will have to come back another day

Now can you see why I say the need for an election is paramount.

Snub to our Queen

What despicable men, yes I am speaking about our so called Prime Minister and the president of France.

Our Queen Elizabeth has more diplomacy and respect of the people of this country and of the Commonwealth then these men put together.

The men and women who gave their lives to liberate Europe will be turning in their graves, to insult our Queen who served her country, at not being at this dedication to those who lost their lives.

It is not about these men who have never lifted a finger to serve and fight for freedom, no they just take your money and put up your taxes, quite frankly I for one would not trust them, they only think of self.

For other things that have come to light, how can we trust them to put things right, as for the Prime Minster overseeing the new rules, does he really think we are so stupid to trust him or any other person who have had their fingers in the till.

When will we have a say by putting non money grabbing people in to parliament

I have never felt so sick of so called people who were voted in to serve their people, but that has not happened, quite the reverse.

The time will come when the health service come to a grinding halt, that will be due to the Labour support in the EU, when cutting the hours of doctors and all staff who work in the emergency services, Oh don't forget when you vote this week for the EU, just think they do not have to put in receipts for cost in cured oh no just ask, they are raking it in, even worse then those in this parliament.

We so need a change in this country, before it is too late and you see conflict taking place on the streets.
