MY who would have thought

What a combination never thought I would see the day that this has happened, yes I am talking about the change in the politics of this country, you never know it might be a good thing.
things are going to be difficult for all of us in the coming months in regard to money or should I say the lack of it, it will be interesting to see what comes out in the wash.
When I read in the news papers about people getting benefits and the amount it beggars belief ,  it is out rage to the hard working people of this country who work hard and pay their way, lets stop keeping these lazy people in luxury. 
How much money would we save is this is stopped, I am not talking about genuine disability, yes we should assess work shy people and stop for good, we might even reduce our bill. let not forget we each have a mass of debt to pay back, so all you people who think you can and have free services think again.
 
Last week I attended a reception being held by the Army presentation team, oh what a change from the other things I have to attend, the courtesy shown and that word that seems to be missing from our vocabulary politeness, oh it took me back to my young days.
 
What is your views on the new Lords, just think back when these new Peers had nothing good to say about the Lords, and yet they take their seats. I wonder if they will keep the standard up or will it descend, we will just have to wait and see.
 
Oh a word to those in power,do not retract on those who like to take our money, we do not get money in advance we have to work then we get paid .the same applies to all the MPs.
