The time has come

The time has come when we must leave this EU club.

 

 

When have we be given a choice as to say if we wish to stay in this EU club,

We are being taken to the cleaners in the money we are giving out to people who have no right to be here.

How do these people who are on benefit afford big plasma TV, I know people who can not afford to heat their homes and just live on the bare bone of their pension.
 

When many people who have worked hard all their lives, find their pension and savings amount to very little, that is making them very angery.

There are a lot of local young people who would like to have a home, but they are on the bottom of the list with these people being given priority.

Some body please tell me what is to happen to our troops when they leave the service due to ill health, will they get the same as above, I some how do not think that will happen.
 

In the last decade we have seen the quality of life descending to the pits, all these MPs what have they done for you, have they made sure that their constituents have been cared for.

 

So please when they come looking for your vote just ask them what they are going to fight for, is it some one who has just come to this country or joe blogs who has worked or served their country.

Will you make sure that they keep their word?

 

What will this country do if Argentina invades the Falklands? Will it fight or just give in.  Just think how the men who were injured in that conflict how will they feel some are still having problems; time in some cases is not a good healer.

 

Please tell me do we have a legal system, what is the law UK or that other place, do we have no control on who comes into this country, that ladies and gentlemen is for you to decide when you go to vote.

Just think whats round the corner

Pass the tissues dear

 

With all the cold and snow is it my imagination that so many people have eyes streaming when speaking on television.

I for one have had three months of coughs and looking like something the cat dragged in but I do not have to stand for election in the coming months, so please pass them a box of tissues and blow your nose please.

 

Would you like a state of the art room when you go into hospital, yes well here is a small room with no windows your bed will just fit in don't mind the staff when they come for equipment at all hours, you would think I had just made this up but no it is a fact.

In my day a treatment room was only used as its name states, not a general store cupboard.

 

Which brings me on to the war in Afghanistan; there has been much talk about a big push that is to take place in other words a mother of all battles, which will bring about many casualties and deaths.

Then one reads there is shortage of beds back here in the UK for returning injured troops, just what is going on when you know what is going to happen why has no one not earmarked a number of beds plus the staff to man them, I for one just wonder what planet I am on.

Who was it that closed the military hospitals, somebody needs their eyes tested plus an IQ test, and does no one think and use common sense these days.

These young men and women who are serving this country deserve the best medial treatment that we can give, not a broom cupboard.

 

When I see these football so called stars and the money that they earn and people talk about bankers, just look at the press photos being taken in Dubai, I am surprised that no one has complained about their dress code in a Moslem country.

 

Have you noted that this country has been thinking about helping out Greece with their money problems excuse me do we not have a massive debt to pay off.  All I can say is thank god we did not go in to the Euro just look how it is sliping.
