Year 2011 what does it hold in store for us

To begin with we are promised with strikes, less money in our pockets,and to crown it all  vat at 20%.
To go shopping will be a nightmare, my cats will be costing more to feed as their food is vat rated.
The disruption to cause a lot of people grief, this takes me back to the 1970s, that was bad enough, have we not moved forward since that time, by the looks of the threats from the Unions no is the answer, reading all the reports about what they intend to do, what will happen to the workforce families, I don't know weather to cry or scream at these demigods, with their massive income and life style, just what are they thinking of, why did they not put up a fight when the last Government took us on the road to ruin, no they just sat back and soaked up their good fortune.
When I think of the people who worked hard all their life and saved as much as possible, that is now gone, but we have for the last forty odd years men and women who have never worked, but have all the luxuries that we have never had, is that social justice or what, answers on a post card please.
I  have just been reading about a lady who has been in the press as being bankrupt, or should I have said ladies, who can spent £100  just to go to the theatre or moan  that she can't go to Spain, is it me am I on the wrong planet.
In the Queens message she spoke about sport and team player's, there is just one thing it is called Health and Safety we are putting on an event called The Challenge to all  ages, can you do it, we thought of an assault course oh dear me  no not allowed to do that.  Where in this world can one not play competitive sport and not get a knock or two, gosh when I was growing up it was falling in rivers climbing trees, making our carts using nails and hammers, yes we had cuts and bruises, and if we had damaged our cloths a thick ear, don't bother taking my mother to court or me into care she is dead and I have lived to do much more dangerous thing in my life, so please back off all you clever people with your Health and Safety , life is not wrapped in cotton wool but living it to the full, other wise you will never know what you can accomplish in your life time.  Think of the two men who reached to top of Everest, did they say ,sorry we can't do that we might  break our bones.
I have spoken about children and especially babies, who need constant care  and to recognise who is caring for them, that time is feeding  bathing and a cuddle, yes they do scream and give you sleepless nights, so people who just have a status symbol of a child and not being there when it gets tough in the middle of the night, leaves me lost for words, well no but I can't print them, what will that child grow up like, a spoilt brat who has no Idea who they are or what their DNA has in store for them.
