The state of this Nation

Who is in charge of this country?

 

You may well ask, just look at all the gossip coming forth form all the people who have made a lot of money from spin, who is to be trusted so far as politics are concerned.

Now we see a book coming out from the man who ran the Labour party, it looks like rats fleeing the ship.

Why do we have to wait until May for an election, for gods sake get this country on an even keel, get people in to parliament who can sort out this awful mess that we are in.

These cleaver men or women who are in charge of making sure that this country can function in bad weather, why six day's does it not happen on a Sunday.  When you look around and see the streets and avenues is it no wonders that people can not get to work.

 

I have said about the person writing a book about his time who ran the Labour party and then tell me that a young man who is a TA Royal Marine who in his own time has written about his time  when he threw himself on to a Taliban grenade, to save his comrades.

He did not just write this book but asked his CO for permission to do so, and then sent the book to MOD's D-notice to make sure he was not revealing any secrets.

Remember this man has the George Cross, not given out lightly, and the MOD said he had to pay them around £90k, remember he wrote this book in is own time, not receiving any money from them.  Please tell me how one can make a lot of money but not him, just makes you think and reinforces my call for a general election to take place.

Why is Lord Mandelson in charge with the Queens golden jubilee and just who is in charge of this country.

Oh have just read that the man above is to get a BP job after the election, watch this space to see if this comes true.
