I am back

I have been unable to sit and write my blog due to my spine and nerves giving rise to pain,I know a pain in the back side.far worse becoming a zombie with high dose medicine. still not to worry back to my usual hard hitting self.
Who has spent all of our money,I find that I think twice before I buy, even said to the cats you will have to slim, and eat what I put down, funny you should see the expression I get if only I could understand what is being said.
We must stop giving away all our hard earned money, to these rich countries, like China and India, there are a lot in Africa, spend the money we send on other thing so this money is wasted, by not going to the right places.Remember that is our hard earned money that is being used in this way, charity begins at home
So gentlemen please get my money back, so it can be spent in getting this country back in the black.
I know my attitude to people who come here and just take all the benefits, just look at the man who has taken us for a ride to the tune of £400,000, by being so called quadriplegic, when he can dance,I would make him pay back every Penney he has taken from us, then make him walk back to the country he came from.
I feel that any body coming into this country must not be given benefits, but show by working and paying TAX for the first 2years.
Any body going to other countries must have enough money to pay their way, no hand outs, an that is what we should do.
I was talking to a gentleman who runs a company, asking him about apprenticeships, he said two were book in but only one turned up, the other one did not even bother. That does make one think how rude and inconsiderate are some people.
Please if you see any body desecrating a War Memorial please tell the police, that is of cause if you have any, Men that do that need to be flogged,and  then pay to replace the names and apologise to the falimies.
if by any chance they are illegal then to be deported straight away, and please do not tell me about their human rights, if you have defiled or caused injury to any one person, you lose that right,

£50 insult to our War Dead.

I have just been reading about the fine given for burning Poppy's near to the Royal Albert Hall.
This person is on benefits, that is you and me paying for his life style, why is he not working and paying his tax like the rest of us.
When will this government stop this way of life for men and women to just swan a round, and not putting anything back.
We are the laughing stock, welcome and here is your money, oh no you do not need a job, and if you are sick just pop along to the hospital and take the place of some one who has been waiting in the queue for their surgery.
Honourable Valour, these people do not know the meaning. When do these people think of anybody except self, or just sit on their backsides, thinking of way to incur injury to other hard working people of this country.
The politicians should come out of their Ivory tower and see how this country his slid down the slippery slope.
We were told that this government would get tough with the bankers so what has happened, they have given them selves even bigger bonus, just where am I living, feel like saying beam me up scotty, that is for the older people who know what I am talking about.

The changes that effect all our lives

I am not sure which planet I live on, we have people who have taken other peoples lives,traumatise the love ones left behind to rebuild they lives, these criminals have no remorse for their crime, except when saying it is their right to have a vote.
What do I say you are lucky to be alive,in some respects the death penalty should be used, why when some person has lost a love one and the perpetrator after just a few years walks free. oh I know they can be recalled back to prison if they re offend, but that is not the point, they still breath the air and claim all the benefits.
This country is so soft on crime we even let criminals in from other countries. is there no one accountable for this travesty of justice.
I look at the politicians and think have they never had a real job, just look at the opposition shouting about cuts, when they caused this mess. Please would some one just stand up and stop this roundabout we will we will not, change the human rights we are fed up with being taken for a ride by judges, and leave us tax payers paying criminals.
Do we not have laws that fit the crimes that are being brought to court, not these punitive sentence.

When are we going to stop immigration to this country we have high unemployment, who has taken the jobs well may be it is these people who come in and take very low wages its a thought.
The other point , when are we going to stop paying benefits to people who have never paid income tax, who take child benefits when we school them, their health care, and housing benefit, If I was to go to another country would I get these you can bet your bottom dollar I would not, would not even let in, unless I had a lot of money to keep myself, with out relying on my host country.
Sorry we have lost the plot.

I will write about our senior service men being given notice by email next week. when I have calmed down

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.
