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.
