You should stand for Parliment and become rich

Well I never just look at the money we could make.

I am just looking at the head line "MPs and Peers run private company selling influence over Government policy'

Dear god why did you elect these people, it would by rather rude to write what I think of these people.

Think of all the money they have gotten by fair means or foul, it makes me even angrier when you think of the pensions these people will pick up on leaving their cushy job.

I know you will say that not all MPs are on the make, sorry one bad apple condemns the barrel.

If somebody is under stress and can not do the job they were elected for then resign, and let another person stand and take the seat.

All the election hype is making one sick, all the talk of what Mr Brown will do, if that is the case why are we in such trouble. Who is able to rectify and bring this country back into credit? One must ask all who come knocking on your door how will their party bring us out of this horrible mess.

It was very sad to hear injured soldiers story that help is not getting through, and then to hear the person responsible say that £45k had been put in the pot.

Think how much money has been raised in the H.4.H there must be thousands, where is this money and what use has been made of it?

These are valid questions that the public must ask after all it is public money.

May be some one could let me know.

We are in for turning off the tele and radio and just trust our own thoughts.

We have a duty of care for Service Personal

Why do I say this, well they have given their lives for their country, Most have injuries that will be with them for the rest of their lives.

War is not a game of toy soldiers, how do we care, by charities set up and raising monies so that care can be given.

We also care for the families of service men and women.

The Army Benevolent Fund was set up at the end of the Second World War
As the Soldiers’ Charity, we provide vital financial help to the heartbroken families of those lost and the hundreds of soldiers who have suffered psychological and physical injuries whilst serving our country.

The Army Benevolent Fund works with fellow charities these include SSAFA, Royal British Legion Army Families Federation, the British Limbless Ex-Service Men’s Association, Combat Stress and the “Not Forgotten Association.

Wars that our troops have been involved in include Korea, Egypt, Malaya, Borneo, Falkland, Iraq, Northern Ireland and to the present time of Iraq and Afghanistan.

I with a group of people we are fundraising for the ABF charity and the Help for Heroes,

These events will take place in August and September.

The first one is held at Old Forde House on the 14-15 August, other charities will be at this show, the theme is the Classic Cars.

The Second one is to be held here in Kingsteignton at Bellamarsh.


This is for the ABF Devon; all monies raised will stay in Devon. The theme of this one is the Rock-an-Roll years, and there will be prizes for the best turned out costumes, date for this is September 25-26. British Classic car’s and motor bikes, plus Tanks. There will be lots of thing to entertain all the family.

Please come and support us in our work.

The insult to the Armed Forces

What did you do in the war daddy?

 

Please daddy what are your medals for, well son I did a dangerous thing I went to tell the troops they have never had it so good.

My god what are the service families must be feeling, with these MPs getting a medal for going to Camp Bastion.

The mendacious statements being given out at the Chilcot inquiry when we have seen other people give their version of events, with just a few in denial, men and women have died for their country, but did they die for their country or just a few men who had their own agenda i.e. OIL.

To think that the Prime minister flew to Afghanistan after giving evidence to the inquiry saying he had given the Army what equipment it needed to fight, but just hold on a minute the Chiefs of Staff are saying differently, that they did not have enough equipment.

No senior Officer is going to speak out unless there are good grounds for it, their job would be on the line, and as we have seen good senior officers have resigned over the inadequate equipment on the ground.

 

If the people of this country return the above to high office they will be showing the military their lack of care.

Why should the service personal die when all they get is substandard weapons?

I and a lot of other people in this country will be working their socks off raising money for Service charities, if you are wondering why we need to raise this money, please phone up your County Officer for the RBL or Army Benevolent Fund Safar, and you will find just one Officer plus a very small office worker.

Just ask them what area they cover.  Mind you there some out there who do not know how to look up phone numbers.

 

Having just said about the Military working on a shoe string have you heard what the MPs need.

To start with a salary of £100.000k plus child care, dear god what planet are we on.

Here in my own Town when a small business closes leaving local people out of work, the impact is felt with in the community, these people were not earning large wage and jobs are hard to come by, it must be a smack in the face to learn what these aspiring MPs require.

I pose a question do we have a statute law in this country. Or are we governed by the EU courts, was this some thing that Mr Blair gave a way with out our knowledge.

I think this marriage of 13 years must come to an end, please think you are going to be paying for their mess, just ask them what have you done with my pension when their pensions are safe and secure, do not be fooled by all the clap trap of I will save the world what about us.

 

 

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.

 

 

 

That one raised finger

What do you think?

 

Did you note the finger that rose in the air, it struck me like a naughty word, like up yours, and mind you I could be wrong especially when the grieving families  where sitting behind him.

When you listen to some one like that saying I would do it again, would he put his sons in the front line some how I think that is unlikely don't you.

 

When we go into conflict training takes place, remember that he did not allow the Generals to under take this, plus the equipment was just not there.

 

The thing that has cheered me up is reading about Professor Bowring is he is planning a prosecution against Mr Blair based on last weeks bombshell evidence to the Chilcot Inquiry.

Professor Bowring says the revelation that the government rejected Foreign Office warnings not to invade Iraq.

Having said that what is the betting that he squirms out of that too, when you think of all the population of Iraq that have been killed, and we wonder why they hate us.

 

I have just spent the last 45 minutes listening to the Soldiers DVD, how nice to listen and not be screamed  at I could even hear the words clearly, so please if you have not heard this please go out and buy it, as the proceeds go to help for heroes.

 

I note that MI5 is saying that terrorists are now going to have bombs as implants, must say it will soon be difficult  especially for  women who have breast implants, golly just think of all that money being blown up.

 

During the week it was said that we do not have enough troops, and due to this the death toll will jump, may I suggest if this war in Afghanistan is going to last for years that we have conscription, now that takes the breath away,  if our politicians are intent on this war that will have to happen.

Benefits

Poverty what is the meaning of this word within this Country.

I just wonder how a lot of people in this country would manage when we have seen just what it is like in Haiti.

Yes I am thinking about the headline case with these two young thugs, sorry cannot think of another word that I could write.

Looking at the pictures in the newspapers, just look at that garden - who owns that house - the parents or is it council or Housing Association, the questions I would like answered are the following.

1. What has the local elected Councillor been doing?
2. Why have the Environmental /Health officer not put out an order?
3. Why has the Housing Estate officer not acted?

Answers

Why give people benefits and especially child benefits, when is goes on drugs and alcohol and porn dvds, please do not tell me that is their Human rights to spend this money which is after all our hard earned money being used in this way.

With this country in dire straits money wise should we not be looking at ways and means making sure that the people who are claiming have a genuine reason? 

We hear of so many people claiming and then being told of the extent of Fraud that is taking place with in this country.

There are many people who live on the bread line who lead a life with out the above taking place.

This country is in such a mess one must ask who is competent to right the wrongs that are taking place.

How are we going to have work not just menial, but jobs which people can take a pride in, plus have a take home pay that does not require benefits.

I can remember the days when people had pride and to take a handout was just unthinkable. I do hope that the parents of these thugs are named and shamed, and not covered up under the Human Rights act.

On another tact when are we going to deport all people in our prisons who have no right to be here, why I ask again should we the taxpayer of this country pay for their comforts, but making sure that no way can they come back.
