Where has summer gone

Please paint the sky blue

 

No I am not being political just wondered where summer went, did I sleep in? 

 Here in Newton Abbot a classic car show last weekend which raised money for Help for Hero's a tidy sum of £3421, especially here with high unemployment.

Well done the people who worked hard to put this show on.

We also have in Teignmouth a group playing called Muse, all local boys who have made good, hope they continue to play for a long time.

So watch this space for next year, and I will you all know early so that you can take you holidays here in Devon.

 

I have been reading about the extra money we will have to pay the EU, that is to pay for the poor countries that wish to join, how about if we leave and they can take our place, as how can we be seen as being a rich country, when we are up to our eyes in debt.

 

Gosh our Prime minister has gone to see our troops, how on earth did he find his way, or even know who he was to meet.

Good on the young man who asked why they had to pay tax when the Americans service people did not, and what an answer he was given, and now we, that is in the name of Great Britain, are going to speak to the Taleban, I could ask what is they have that we need, i.e. oil or other goods, well just look what has happen in North Africa, need I say more.

 

Food for patients in hospital

Yes I have been on the receiving end of hospital food so I do know what it is like, one thing when I was serving, food given to my patients was first class, none of this rubbish, and as for saying that NURSES are to busy to feed patients who are unable to do so, is a total disgrace to the profession of NURSING.

Why do these people who think that being a nurse precludes them from bedside care, and that includes washing feeding and even speaking to a patient.

The trouble is they are not exposed to bed side nursing, I had a nurse come to me to take my observation, and guess what she had no idea of what I had, even less of what not to do, by the time I had finished with her I asked had she just started training oh no she had finished.  That is what is being turned out at great expense to you the tax payer.

I have even seen some one who had a degree in nursing freeze on me when asked to show a student nurse ( yes we did train nurses in the Army) how to lay out a patient who had died, so I had two students to teach that morning.

I can remember when the standard of nursing was first class world wide.

Oh I can hear it you can't say that about all nurses, but you see mud sticks and one apple is bad so all are tarnished.

 

Note the Price of Oil

Price rises of the Gas, Water and Electricity.

 

 

Have you noticed that the price of Oil has risen, and that will mean a hike in what we pay out.

The letters will be coming through the doors, saying that if you pay be direct debit your monthly payment will rise to.

Just think even if it is £3-50 a month and you have never been anything but in credit, you know what is about to happen all round.

People who are just above the benefit line will be hard hit by this, and those who rely on savings will be in dire straits.

 

Lets look at the Sunday papers, and what do we have, some one has noticed that unless a lot of senior people i.e. the Royals to be present, not one MP will be at the service of the fallen service men and women.

That to me shows what low uncaring lot we have as MP's. Have any of them meet the aircraft bring home the bodies of the fallen, the answer is no.

 

The depts. to which the MPs who are in the MOD, have sank to, show what despicable people they are, what I am talking about is how they have tried to smear the name of the Head of the British Army.

Take a good look at what Mr Ainsworth has claimed, and then you can say who is worth their salary

 

Last Sunday I was selling books for HFH, and you have to ask the question, why we and many more like minded souls do it. Because we care and do what ever we can to raise money, which this government has reneged on In respect of care.

They are even bringing into question any compensation that a service personal may have received.

 

I have just read a letter from an ex Para who served in the Falklands and the misery he and his family have had to endure.

There are hundreds of men and women who suffer from Combat stress disorder. They have to endure the sounds and sights in their brain for the rest of their lives, only help and understanding are going to help in a small way.

The break up of families due to this, heartache and pain, of not understanding what is happening to them.

Think on of the young people coming back from this stupid war, they will be affected in this condition.  

 

 

 

INJURIES SUSTAINED IN CONFLICT

The Wounded, and how they treated by Politicians.

This puts me in mind when I took a badly burnt pilot out to tea for the first time, this was part of our treatment of such patients, to give them confidence of meeting people.

ON entering this tea house, oh rather posh it was in East Grinstead not far from the hospital, sitting down and ordered our tea, when some women in a very loud voice said 'it should not be allowed it puts one off ones food', I knew who that remark was made to, so I just turned round and said my god it is awful, and to the women have you looked in the mirror and you will know what I am talking about. Following that remark not another word was said, but I had a job keeping that young man sitting down, as he was all for getting out.

How do you think these young people returning injured and disfigured, just looking in hope that some one will smile and speak with out insult, yes I know these injuries are horrible, and some can not look at them as they fell sick, but stop and think of what they have to go through, some give insults others run away. But just remember they are the same people under those scars.

When these politicians go on these visits, they do not go out side in to the danger zone oh any too precious.

The thing that really gets to me that these people have never been in a conflict area, there are one or two who have served their country and been in conflict, but they are not in the MOD or behind that desk.

Dear me when the words from grieving mother hit home, they run for cover.

All have plenty to say when interviewed, but unable to put into practice, and provide the equipment, lets face it the person who is responsible for this is making millions speaking, good question on what how to run away from conflict, just send in the troops.

There has been written by a Staff Sergeant Andy McFarlane a poem on the return of the special Hero's, where a whole town stands in silence and pay their respects, if not go out and buy the news paper (Daily Mail ), then tell me if you do not weep for them.

When you think that we have no controls of who comes into this country, and the politicians say that we are fighting to save us from the terrorist, do they think we are so stupid to believe that story, no wake up they are all ready he here working in areas with all are details, have they been vetted.

Why have the ones who speak only of destroying this country allowed to stay, and even be paid benefits having never done a days work in their lives.

Stop all this payment out and supply the equipment that is required by the troops.

Also stop all benefits to those who have just arrive and expect had outs and medical care.

Then pay the compensation to the troops, as their right.

Questions that need to be answered

Why do we have to pay a vast amount of our hard earned money to keep these BBC people in double employment?

 

Well that is how it looks to me as some one whom very rarely tunes into the governments broadcasting station.

In my youth the BBC was held in high regard but now it has lost its way, we have seen the degrading programmes that have been put out, the language that once was held in high regard is now the pits, and how standards have fallen.

It is now the voice box of this government, and that is saying some thing, with all the spin and less than truthful statements put out.

 

When will we be told how many casualties have been evacuated back to UK, of those service personal how many have lost their jobs in the service.

Why am I asking, well it is the report that the compensation being paid out is being questioned, in other words are they malingering.

 

Just look at the prison service, how many of the inmates are breed and born here, and why do we have to pay benefits to them and their offspring's?

We have in this country people who would like nothing better then change our whole way of life, yes I do mean what is the faith of this country.

When I have been serving in different countries which have a different faith I have respected their faith, oh no not here.

 

The French think we are our own worst enemies, be advertising around the world , come to our country and we will give you free medical care even educate your children and don't for get we give you housing benefits, in fact you live free if you know how to use the system.

Yes and we who have worked all our lives are paying for these people who give nothing , but are quite happy to teach young people of different faith to hate and fight against our own troops.

 

This country is in dire striates as far a money is concerned, in a massive debt which will take decades to pay for, so why not stop this free service to all people who think we are a soft touch.

 

Oh boy I can just hear the roar of the human rights and liberty groups, if they just listen to what is being said on the streets of this country, they might just get the drift of feeling, even mild mannered people who in the past would not say these thing, so please wake up you so called politicians and just listen that is if you can pull your selves away from sun beds.
