Think Outside of The Box

2012-01-30T06:58:00.001Z

I am thoroughly fed up with the same old, same old. New politicians come into power, the old party denies all their own failures and blames the new party in power. Fat Cat Corporations, Oil Companies and Banks are running, or more accurately RUINING the world, not just for us, but for our children, their children and their children's children, yet blind greed and a passion for power keeps these selfish people going and not caring about who they hurt, not even their own children or grand children.

Many people write and complain, and I am one of these, but this time I offer a solution, not possibly the most well thought out, but if I can plant a seed, then maybe it will be worth it. Governments the world over look towards the 'intelligent', well educated for answers, and this in turn can lead to jobs for the boys. They also look towards people like Branson who have made a remarkable mark on the world, but who to me have lost their way, I can remember sitting in one of his first record shops in Brighton and admiring him, no longer, he is just another man who has become greedy and forgotten what he set out to do, oh the words are still there, but now they are hollow.

There are many smaller people out there, who may not have made millions or billions from their efforts, but without them the country would suffer. I class myself as one of these, so now I will blow my own trumpet to emphasise a point. In the past 12 - 14 years I have turned around failing care home and made them both profitable and a good place to live for the elderly vulnerable people they cater for. I rarely go off sick, in the past 2+ years I haven't had a full day off sick. I rarely go on holiday, I work an average of 45 - 50 hours per week and I am on call 24/7/365 days of the year. I am 59 this year and still going strong. I do not boast a great or privileged education with a university degree, I do not have any old boys I can call on, but locally I have a reputation of getting things done, and if there is a difficult elderly person who needs care, I am usually called on to see if I can help that person by offering them a place in my care home.

I am not the captain of a large industry, I do not get huge bonus payments, I do not have a large expense account, what I do have is drive and a need to provide the best I can at all times. I am not alone, there are many like me out there. Here is a thought for those in power, why are these people who always make a success of things, without the overinflated salaries and ego's not being utilised. Why go to people who own big companies, their first priority is not helping the country, but making sure their business continues to run and make profit, so their whole attention will not be on the job that governments give, despite what they might say publicly, that is basic human nature.

So my shout at our government is simple, THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, LOOK AROUND, GIVE THE SMALL PERSON A CHANCE, GIVE THEM AN AREA THAT YOU CAN EXPERIMENT WITH, THE RESULTS COULD BE A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT TO THOSE WHO TALK BIG AND FAIL EVEN BIGGER OR WHO ARE JUST PLAIN MEDIOCRE AT WHAT THEY DO.

Someone Please Organise the Quiet Revolution

2011-12-04T07:04:00.001Z

Things are going from bad to worse. Merkel and Co are still trying to save the Euro and Delores has now finally admitted that the Euro was flawed from the beginning and that the British were right to view it with suspicion. Shame our politicians don't have this hindsight but carry on trying to support this idiotic concept that works in no ones favour, unless of course you are Merkel or German, and that in itself is a joke, an ex-communist now effectively running Europe!

Not one of the three main parties in British politics are suitable to be governing us, unfortunately there is little to choose between then as they are almost clones of each other, just the party name is the main difference, they are all failures and do not have the interest of our great country at heart.

Case in point, how much money goes in foreign aid? How much money are immigrants given weekly? How much are their expenses? Bercows used public money to have a tacky coat of arms it is reported? Why they are not royalty, and they do not have a glorious history, in the case of Bercow and his tacky wife, quite the reverse. Now consider a pensioner, often many have to choose between heating or eating, yet most have worked all their lives and have contributed into the system all their lives to be discarded on the scrap pile as not important, but their votes are when it comes to an election, when they get the moral less MP knocking on their door, listening to their woes about how hard it is to make ends meet, the lying promises made just to secure another vote.

I keep stating that revolution in this country is the only way forward, and I haven't changed my mind, or my tune. It doesn't have to be violent like in the middle east, it can be quiet and non violent and it which case would possibly have more of an effect because of that. No strikes drummed up by corrupt unions and their overpaid minions, but something organised by the people for the people. Emails, texts can say a day of non production, no shops, no shoppers, no factory workers, no council workers, minimum staff on duty in hospitals, care homes, no schooling, no transport. Just to send a message to those who never listen to us the people of Britain, WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH, the spin the politicians would give on this would make a good comedy show!

Cameron is a spineless, coward of a leader. If we took matters into our own hands he wouldn't know what to do. On the first time this happened I bet European voters would watch with interest to see what would happen, once they saw the dramatic effect this would have I could see this spreading right across Europe and the EU politicians would get their wish, a Europe joined, but not in the way they envisaged, because this would be against MP's who are the scourge of freedom and democracy.

We live in a dictatorship, don't be fooled by these smooth talking conmen and women, a three party whip on the referendum vote, was an order by Cameron to vote against this, in essence removing the choice of MP's from his own party to vote as their constituents would wish them to vote, that is not democracy under any circumstances.

You only have to scour the newspapers in this country to see comments by readers about political issues, and many comments are not published due to lack of space or because they could be deemed too aggresive, does our government take notice? Don't make me laugh!!!

Lets get moving before its too late, lets organise a day of reckoning, I shall now wait for the knock on the door because I dared express my disgust at the dictatorship running this country. This needs someone with greater skills than I have to make the uprising happen, remember though peaceful and quiet will bring a far greater impact, so please someone take up the challenge, the mantle and organise a complete day of protest early into the New Year so we can take back our country, I know other countries would follow suit, and soon we will have our countries back from the grasping hands of greedy feckless self serving globalists.

Adolf Merkel - Jackboots over Europe

2011-11-19T06:05:00.001Z

Merkel the German leader is managing where Hitler failed, the jackboots are walking all over individual European countries, their leaders and their people.

Greece is a prime example where her influence backed up by the poison dwarf Sarkozy (now out of favour) forced the then Greek Prime Minister to stop his plans for a referendum and forced him out of power.

Britain too is being forced into a route that the majority of its people do not want. We have always been a sovereign, and independent people prepared to fight for what is right and for our country, but Cameron, who is so far out of touch with his own political party, and who cannot connect with the people of this country is letting this country down.

He is failing the British people in an almost traitorous way, with Clegg and Miliband also showing that they are also as traitorous as Cameron. In a democracy hard decisions should be taken by the people, not by millionaire politicians trying to get a name for themselves in history.

If this continues, Germany and Merkel will rule Europe more completely than Hitler managed. OK so there won't be the death camps, but who is to say what will happen if one person and one country has so much influence over so many different countries, people, cultures and history. Will Great Britain, for example be forced to re-write history so that the two great wars of the last century are seen in favour of Germany.

You may laugh, but anything is possible! I have said for a long time this country needs to completely change its politicians, and re-write the rules under which politicians can be voted in (employed by the people) any sign of fraud or rip off should result in instant dismissal and no return to any politics, even at a local level. Major decisions that can have a stunning effect on the whole country should be decided by the people in proper referendums, the democratic way.

MP's, including the Prime Minister should be held accountable and if things are not going well or to the liking of the people, the employers, we should have the opportunity to sack them, obviously there should be due process, otherwise the country could fall into anarchy, but the ability to sack politicians by the voters should be there.

I still want to see a revolution, I want to see real change, where people like Cameron, Clegg, Miliband, Balls, Cooper, Osbourne Cable etc. can all be held accountable, after all if you had a poor employee who was lazy, ineffectual, took part in industrial espionage or had their hands in the till, would you keep them on?

For The Times They Are A Changing

2011-11-11T05:34:00.001Z

Well things are bad, and I believe are going to get a whole load worse, before there is even a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

To me the revolution has started. The strikes are growing and people are openly wearing the iconic mask from V for Vengeance. People the world over are waking up and realising that things left in the hands of politicians are now leading to disaster on a global scale. The revolution is coming from all walks of life and all ages and will continue to grow.

It amazes me that politicians really believe that Europe could become one superstate. Lets remember just in this country alone, we have the north - south divide, where oop north prices and jobs are vastly different from those in the soft south, in fact even in England some dialects are barely understandable to others from even the same country, so here we have self serving politicians from all over Europe who think that different countries, with old scores to settle, with vastly different cultures, language, tradition, history can all pull together in the same direction.

What a joke. Anyone with half a working braincell can work out that isn't going to happen, and at the forefront of this great state we have Germany, who started two major conflicts of the last century and France who was once under the jackboot of Germany, twice!

Call me Dave, who I now have renamed CAMERON THE CLOWN, has proved himself to be yet another lying, two faced, self serving politician. He made promises he either couldn't keep or had no intention of keeping just to get elected and have his five minutes of fame as a politician, he couldn't even win an election outright, he then had to go cap in hand to a political party who always came third in elections, had no experience and in many areas had totally conflicting views from the Clown and his party. What we have now is a farcical government.

I have had first hand experience of the Clown in action, he can't even keep confidentiality! So beware.

Looking at politicians the world over, what a deadbeat bunch they are, from megalomaniac dictators, to a 75 year old sex addict who holds bunga parties. Our MP's are no better, we have Bercow who will spend over £3,000 of the taxpayers money on suits for himself, who has a wife who seeks personal media attention constantly. Cameron the liar and most undemocratic Prime Minister I can remember having his strings pulled by a bunch of third rate politicians getting their first, and hopefully final, five minutes of glory.

Then we have the Labour fools, led by Miliband, who hasn't shown any guts at all. He has Balls sitting next to him making silly schoolboy hand gestures in Parliament to try and distract. That is the level that politics have sunk to. At least there aren't physical punch ups as in some other Parliaments,

So Merkel and Sarkozy want to rule Europe, two old foes, it reminds me of the Vichy Government from World War II, with Sarkozy taking the role of Marshall Petain and Merkel of leader of the Axis, and we all know what happened next, or if not look up the history.

The Euro will crash, to me there is no doubt, it is just a case of when, and when it goes there will be hardship for except the super rich and politicians, who will make sure that their nests are well feathered. Whoever thought up the idea of the EU was a woolly headed idealist, who managed to get the backing of easily led politicians who could not rationally think things through.

So although I look forward to the pending crash and inevitable break up of the EU with some trepidation, I also look forward to its closure, and will be very interested to see what history has to say about this most foolish part of our history.

Keep the revolution going and remember in the next election, if it gets that far, what our three main parties have done to this country and vote the b******s out. I shall vote UKIP only in the hope that they will live up to their promise and remove us from the EU and its mind boggling stupid policies.

The Shame of Cameron, Clegg and Miliband

2011-10-25T12:48:00.001+01:00

Our self serving leaders of the three main parties have yet again shown us they are not to be trusted and should never be voted for again. We have been cheated of the right to vote regarding the EU, yet each party in turn has promised us a vote, until they get into power that is then they conveniently forget the promise they made and forget that we the tax payers of this country and the voters elected them to work ON OUR BEHALF, NOT SERVE THEMSELVES.

Lets be honest our present government is made up of a party who couldn't win an election by themselves and the party they brought in to share power with them are totally unprepared for power having always come a poor third in every election, at the first taste of power they have shown us why they have always come third, they are useless led by a useless third rate party leader.

What these three parties and their leaders have shown us is that they are morally and ethically corrupt with liars as leaders. They should be ashamed of themselves as they haven't allowed the MP's we voted for do the job they promised to do. It also makes a complete joke of Call Me Dave's idea of democracy.

Democracy don't make me laugh, we live in a Dictatorship run by Cameron, Clegg and Miliband. It is time for us all to stand up and show these mini Hitlers that we demand a referendum, so DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY OF THESE PARTIES AT THE NEXT ELECTION, VOTE UKIP!!!

Look After Number One

2011-09-23T10:27:00.002+01:00

I help a lot of people, its in my nature, and it is a big part of my job.

I have now realised, a bit late in life, that when the cards are down, friends or people you think you can rely on will leave you in the lurch.

They will always have a good excuse for it, 'thought you had moved on' is a good response, but no effort made to support, but always willing to take whatever you have on offer.

From now on its me and my family, sorry to my 'friends' but you can go **** yourselves.

Bloody Apple

2011-07-19T13:34:00.001+01:00

I love my Android phone, I love the Android system, I hate ITunes and most things Apple, but I do love my IPod Classic.

Apple now want to do a Microsoft and rule the world, they want to stop me using my Android phone, because they feel that a couple of patents may have been breached.

Can I sue Apple if they win?

I want to and I would recommend that every Android user should queue up to sue Apple, that will wipe the smug smile off their faces.

Murdoch - The Scourge of the free press and Coward

2011-07-08T06:45:00.003+01:00

Rupert Murdoch has taught his evil family well. He himself is a heartless man with no morals and a need for control and power, it seems his children are following in his footsteps.

Murdoch senior has always had a ruthless streak, look at what he did to Fleet Street, the strikes outside Wapping, the massive police presence, did he pay for any of those police or contribute in any way I doubt it. When the strike was over he then started to get rid of those workers who had helped him, by offering redundancies, or by making inexperienced managers hold supervisions sessions with staff to weed out as many as possible so that he could bring in more cheaper labour, usually from abroad.

Now he has taken on another person as ruthless and as scheming as himself, in the CEO of News International Rebekah Brooks and his son James at the helm. How pleased he must be with himself another nasty, ruthless, power mad, lying cheating, lacking in morals Murdoch to take his place and Brooks a handy sidekick who can do the dirty work.

Rot in hell Murdoch, and take your nasty scheming family with you, the world will be better without you and your kind, hopefully this is the beginning of the end for you and your business, why not take a leaf out of Robert Maxwells book and do the world a favour.

Make Me Prime Minister

2011-06-29T05:37:00.001+01:00

Make me Prime Minister and I would:

1. Hold a referendum on the EU membership as soon as possible.

2. Get rid of, or amend the Human Rights Act within a year.

3. Stop all overseas aid until our own finances were healthy.

4. Make Quangos justify their existence and review staffing and costs.

5. Let freedom of speech be accepted, no matter how painful, unlike Cameron.

6. Sack and ban all corrupt MP's for life.

7. Put a cap on councils CEO's salary and make it performance related.

8. Reduce the paperwork for the police, so that they have more of a presence on the street where they are needed.

9. Submit an application to have Tony Blair tried for war crimes.

10. Stop banks paying bonus payments until all funds have been returned to the public purse, then limit the amount of bonus allowed.

11. Get rid of the top heavy management system rife in education, health etc and bring back the old style ward sisters.

12. Ban mixed wards giving 6 months for hospitals to comply.

13. Do not allow quangos like Care Quality Commission to keep changing name at a huge cost and to make sure inspectors are out there doing their job effectively.

14. Benefits system to be reviewed and for major changes to continual claimants.

15. Get tough on criminals, longer prison sentences, less comforts, and less remission time.

16. Make prisons self sufficient, so the cost to the public is reduced.

17. Make border control tougher.

18. Deport militants of any sort immediately or arrest those who are not welcome until arrangements can be made to deport them, also see 16 above as that will be enforced.

The New Mafia

2011-04-13T06:46:00.000+01:00

OK then lets get down to the nitty gritty.

Bankers and politician, both are equally bad, both have questionable morals, both sets are liars, cheats and frauds and all are after one of two things money or power or in the case of some, BOTH.

I have banged on for what feels like a lifetime to try and change the system for the better, unfortunately the only way we can do this is with a full blown revolution, as the whole constitution would have to be re-written so that with politicians they cannot find a loophole, or change the law so that they can defraud the system.

Lets be frank here, after all the outcry over expenses they brought in tough measures which lasted less than a year and we are again back to square one with one MP even claiming paltry amounts such as 4p, 12p etc.

Bercow is a complete nob head, he has no morals and it seems is ruled by his wife who hasn't been voted into power, but appears to pull his strings so there is no chance of him stepping in, anyway he seems to think that he is royalty and has to answer to no one, so appealing to this little twerp would be a complete waste of time and effort.

Banker are just greedy bastards who will gamble with our money, expect us to bail them out when they make drastic mistakes, and then give themselves fat bonus payments or huge salaries. If they were forced to take out personal indemnity insurance or put their own personal assets on the line, like house, cars, furniture, jewellery etc. could you see them taking such chances as they have done in the past?

Both groups have low morals, both groups have little or no controls that mean anything, and both groups are greedy, ignorant and not worth the air they breathe. As I keep saying, change has to come, people need to get angry and really threaten a revolution for a complete change, no violence, just bring the country to a complete standstill, until we are free of the EU dickheads, have a complete change of rules for MP's and bankers and start with a fresh group of MP's who actually care about the country and its people, who will stop defrauding the system, who will stop immigration, who will find and kick out illegal immigrants, who will take a tough line on criminals, and who will curb bankers.

Why I Hate Katie Price

2011-01-18T04:14:00.001Z

Lets be frank, it isn't hard to dislike this woman, and to me it is easier to hate her than ever before.

This woman isn't real so lets list her falsehood:

False boobs
False hair colour and extensions
False lips
Botox enhanced features (ha ha)
False Tan
False intelligence
False use of feelings

Then we have the other problems this false thing has; false emotions, a liar, a fraud, fame hungry, attention seeking, a maneater, self delusional, in fact everything foul in human nature.

Unfortunately there will always be men out there who think that they can:

1. Tame the beast

2. Make her really fall head over heals in love with them.

Unfortunately she will suck them in, chew them up and spit them out.

This woman only needs a mirror to know and feel love, just like the wicked queen in snow white.

One question still haunts me, she calls herself a good mother, but how much quality time does she spend with her children, without a nanny or relative being around to help in each and every 24 hour period?

Time For Some Financial Terrorism

2011-01-11T06:55:00.001Z

Here we go again, the banks are, according to the Daily Mail, are effectively holding the country to ransom with their attitude of, “You leave our bonus payments alone, we will lend to small business”.

My attitude to that would be very simple and basic, F*** Off and reduce your bonus payments now. If these banks had been lent money out of the public purse I would demand immediate repayment of all funds within 30 days unless bonus payments were controlled to an acceptable level.

Banks are effectively running this country, not the so called government, otherwise the banks bonus payments would be under control. I think it is time for some financial terrorism.

My idea is very simple, it involves no violence, nothing unlawful, just ordinary people exercising their rights and free will. It is simple, but hard to organise and I do not have the time to really set this in motion, but anyone can freely take my idea and use it.

Organise nationally as many people who bank with one specific bank, for example Barclay’s get them to change their accounts to another bank at a designated time on a designated day, claim the incentive payment from the new bank for changing their account.

Get everyone to do the same as often as possible all at the same time of day. The idea would be to throw the banks into total chaos at one point on one day and to hit all the banks at the same time, best time would be I think straight after the weekend, or just before the weekend for maximum effect.

On the same day all small shareholders in the banks should be willing to put their shares on the market, again to be effective lets pick on Barclays as their CEO is responsible in part for the meltdown and has had about £75 million in pay and bonus payments. On a set day at a set time swamp the market to try and give an impression of no confidence in the bank, then systematically do the same to every bank in the country.

This would put control back in the hands of the people, it costs nothing, it hurts no one, only the banks and their fat cat bankers. Simples.

Happy New Year, Same as The Old Year

2011-01-04T12:51:00.000Z

Happy New Year, but what have we got to look forward to?

Well I think all we have to look forward to is that Politicians will continue to lie and cheat on their expenses. Those who pay their taxes will be worse off whilst those who claim illegally or just because they are plain lazy shits will gain, and all the time the fat BASTARD BANKS will screw us for every penny and feed their fat shithead selves money that they claim they have earned when it is mainly the tax payer who has bailed out many of these shitty banks and have allowed them to keep on bankers and give themselves fat bonus payments.

So welcome to the New Year, same as the old year, there will be nothing to look forward to except for more hardship, more deaths, more lies, in fact more of everything negative about living with so called celebrities inflicting us with every banal thought that enters their moronic brains.

Google - Not so Friendly After All

2010-12-30T06:48:00.000Z

I bet I lose my Blogger account after this, but hey there is always Wordpress, which I believe Google has no control over.

Today I read a very scary account of how Google does business and I would like to help the person who wrote the original account, but I am quite happy to put my own Google account on the line and stop using all Google products as I feel quite strongly about what has happened to this guy.

His name is Dylan Winter and here is his story, it is very scary and shows that Google is not the benevolent company it would like to portray itself as being.

STORY

k, close, 21/12/2010 9:01

2010-12-21T12:34:00.000Z

Today I made a comment on the Daily Mail site, I checked back later to see if it was published as I do tend to make some contentious comments at times, to find that some rude, obnoxious bugger had publicly called me a troll online for making a comment.

This person is a complete moron and coward, its safe to call people names from a computer whilst hiding their identity. There is something mentally deficient about this person and I hope they read this blog, maybe, just maybe they might realise to insult people they do not know, in they way have done it, is moronic, senseless, thoughtless, and to me shows a very low intelligence.

Thank God for Wikileaks

2010-11-30T12:54:00.003Z

All I can say is thank you Wikileaks, the world has a right to know what is going on and now they have just confirmed what many privately thought about the USA and its scumbag politicians.

Hilary Clinton is a mad cow and should in my opinion be dismissed as not fit to serve, Politics in the USA appears to be even more corrupt than anywhere else in the world and that says a lot as they are even beating our so called politicians.

It shows you have to be really sick to be a politician, many might start out with good intentions, but they are easily swayed and corrupted to the point where they are no longer serving the people they are supposed to be serving, but are more interested in themselves, and that covers all the politicians the world over.

We have this very small minority who have too much power and too much influence over the majority of the people who live on this planet and we the mugs let them rule our lives and make our lives a misery.

We have the Blairs, Browns, Clintons, Bushes, Putins, Berlisconi and Sarkozy running this world and lets be frank would we notice if they were no longer on this planet, they would be missed by exactly how long?

I am sick to death of these people who to me are lower than a slug and just as valuable.

Oh and just to top it all off Sarah Palin has now joined the crazy cow club, who would want this woman in charge of a huge Nuclear Arsenal?

Lord Young of Graffham or should that be Gaffman?

2010-11-19T05:40:00.000Z

This does nothing but back up what I have said for years.

Lord Young of Graffham thinks we have never had it so good, with job losses, the current financial crisis, the country being swamped in debt, banks still paying obscene bonus payments to its 'high flyers', the EU still robbing us blind and wanting more, then paying us back with stupid and pointless laws such as The Human Rights Act which in reality should be renamed The Criminals and Immigrants Act as that is all it seems to benefit!

It shows that a privileged,rich, over bearing ex-public schoolboy who has possibly never held down a job in normal society his whole life is making stupid, insensitive, damaging, thoughtless claims, and he then writes a letter of apology to Cameron, another privileged, rich, ex-public schoolboy who also hasn't worked in the real world before moving into politics so that he can keep his position, which he has already abused at least once.

We need real people to run this country, not rich, arrogant, ex-public schoolboys who have been brought up in a privileged and pampered life and who have never done a real days work in their lives.

Ask yourself this one question, did any of these useless individuals actually start at the very bottom of any work they have done, by that I mean real work, has the health secretary ever worked as a porter in the heath service or as a carer or nurse?

Harman has worked as a teacher I think, but she lost the plot years ago. The fact is we are getting too many straight from public school and university people with little or no relevant life experience telling us they can run the country than making a complete hash of it.

Lets have that revolution please, lets get rid of the rubbish that try and convince us that they know best, and get in some real people with some real rules making sure we do not have the same pampered MP's in the House of Commons for the whole of their working lives, no more than 15 years should be the absolute maximum.

Elitist Clowns

2010-11-16T07:44:00.000Z

Well we all wanted a change from the lying dirty tricks of Liebore who showed us what contempt they really have for this country and the people of this country, with lies about the invasion, the lack of a referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon, the head in the sand approach to the financial crisis, after all who spends more when they are deeply in debt and that was Brown the Clown and he used to be Chancellor.

Well we got our change

Change of name that is, because lets be honest nothing has really changed.

We still have elitist, remote public schoolboy clowns who have never done an honest days work in their lives, telling us that they know what is best for the country. They continue to ignore what people of this country want, we are still being refused a referendum on the EU, we still have Human Rights protecting criminals and benefit fraud immigrants, one who recently killed a young girl with his car when he was uninsured and banned from driving.

We still have immigrants in million pound properties claiming they are entitled to it, having never contributed to the country and have only ever taken from us. Then of course there is that horrible little hate 'Preacher' and I use the term Preacher very loosely Hamsa.

He has been disowned by his own country Egypt, but Cameron and his wonderful government worry about him so much that they will not withdraw his citizenship because he will be stateless, WHO CARES? MAKE HIM STATELESS THEN KICK HIM OUT HE HASN'T WORKED SINCE HE GOT HERE!!!!!

The most sickening thing for me was the Islamic thugs who burnt the poppy on 11th November what a tasteless stupid act. They should be hunted down and tried for treason if not treason then they should be jailed for a very long time, what would happen if we burnt the Koran, I'll tell you what we would be threatened with death from all over the world.

This is our fair and just society that our politicians are making safe for us by reducing the police and ignoring what the voters want, these elitist, remote stupid self serving politicians need to be removed from ever governing this country and there should be rules such as:

1. You cannot be considered to be a politician until you are 35 years old, that would stop these clowns coming straight from university and would mean they would have to work first.

2. You must have been in paid work unrelated to politics for at least 10 years.

3. No politician can serve for more than 14 years or two full terms of government

4. No serving politician can be on boards of companies, act as consultants or hold any form of second job/position whilst a serving politician.

5. Each politician must undergo a quality assurance assessment every two years as a minimum.

That would be my view for the safe future of government, we do not need career politicians straight from university without any worldly knowledge telling us how to run the country. Prime examples of this type of politician is Miliband, and what a twat he is.

A Much Needed Revolution

Yet again our totally disgraceful MP's are in the press How long do we have to put up with lying, scheming, two faced, self serving, non effective MP's?

I have been saying we need a revolution for years and it still holds true. Cameron promised a clear up and no silly spending, then he employs a video maker and photographer to make him look good out of our money. He is a weak double standards, lying politician just like all the others.

Time for the revolution to start and when is does start we need to be very clear that no politician who is in office now should be spared and should be completely investigated, and new rules should state only a maximum of three terms as an MP, no second jobs even as 'advisor's', expenses only paid on certain items and again only on a receipt, no ex criminals, no one who has been charged should apply.

Curse the judge, shout fanatics

2010-11-04T06:19:00.001Z

Having read the disgraceful behaviour of these Muslim fanatics in a newspaper I think the time has come for the normal Englishman to take a stand, after all our politicians will do nothing!

So why don't we identify these people, learn where they live, and invite them to leave our country.

This can be done peacefully by just knocking on their doors and telling them we do not appreciate their behaviour, and if they so despise Britain, its justice system, history, culture and way of life, then please feel free to leave as soon as possible.

If that doesn't work maybe a more radical approach should be taken, but again there should be no physical harm or threats of violence, after all we do not wish to stoop to their level.

So what about buying a pigs head and blood and leaving for them as a present on their door step, again with a note stating that if they do not like or appreciate Britain, its history, culture, justice system and benefits system, which I am sure many take advantage of then here is a present to help them make their minds up to leave.

Why should these people be able to incite hatred, curse our judges, threaten our politicians (although at times I can understand that!) and openly tell us how much they hate us, but still live in our country, enjoy the freedom that our country offers and of course milk the benefits system for all its worth including free medical.

We need to get tough, but our namby pamby politicians aren't going to do anything so lets identify who these scum are and take matters PEACEFULLY into our own hands, once they realise that their behaviour is unacceptable and will incur retribution, it will soon stop, as they have the bully mentality.

British Politics Gone to Pot

2010-10-24T06:09:00.003+01:00

I had hoped that things would change after the election, even though I voted UKIP (I hate the EU with a vengeance!), but no we are back on the same old, same old.

Labour are telling us the coalition has got it wrong especially that twerp Miliband and Johnson, yet they were both part of the government that led us to the state we are currently in with their reckless spending and truly stupid control of the crisis.

Now we have cuts, very severe and very necessary, but again politicians seem to be missing the target!

Prison places are being reduced so more thugs and crooks on the street with that dinosaur Clarke stating we should pay criminals £12,00 a year!!!!! What we should do is get the prisoners out in the fields helping farmers maintain the ditches and hedgerows, have them clearing fields by hand, have them growing their own food and making sure that they support themselves instead of giving them treats that some family's can't afford like games consoles, they owe society, not society owes them.

The foreign aid has increased whilst almost everything is cut, this is wrong and there is no way that this can be justified. Let China (who until recently got aid from us), Russia, and the middle east take a lions share of the burden as we did for decades, now is the time to look after our own, after all, all we have got back for our trouble is an untameable influx of immigrants who are bleeding our system dry.

The EU should be a main point here as well. I do not believe the hype about us needing the EU, I think we should walk away, it would save a fortune and help clear our debt. They want more money and the MEP's seem to be making sure that they get a good deal for themselves, I have yet to see or hear of a poor MEP or even a poor MP, they all seem to be making a very good living from our taxes, and few are actually constructive. Nadine Dories has admitted that her blog is mainly fantasy, Bercow is a complete chump and I could go on for ages with very few missing the cutting edge of my bile.

We should not sacrifice our defence budget, education budget, police / law enforcement or health budget for the sake of foreign aid, they wouldn't come to our rescue so quickly and India and Pakistan have some very rich people who seem to be in favour of the west crumbling in some cases seem to support the use of terrorism against us.

We need drastic action so what would I do?

I would completely cut foreign aid for at least 5 years.

I would exit the EU and put all the money that goes to the EU and our MEP's to repay national debt.

Prisons would have to be made as self sufficient as possible and prisoners made to work for a minimum of 12 hours a day, if necessary on our forces bases keeping them clean and clear and picking up rubbish from the streets and washing the streets of urine and vomit.

MP's would have to sign a contract stating that they cannot be on any other form of employment whilst an MP and includes taking 'gifts' for services rendered.

MP's would have to work a minimum of 8 hours per day and prove it, MP's holidays cut, and expenses would have to be on a no receipt no expenses and for some expenses it would have to be justified before a panel of non MP's.

A 97.5% tax on bonus payments above £10,000 and any gifts and gratuities would also fall into the £10,000 rule. Banks to be taxed on all profits at 70% and those that are part owed by the nation are to stop bonus payments until all debts are repaid with interest.

All quangos would be disbanded, except for the most important and they would have a set amount of time to complete their work without any extensions.

That is my starter for 10, I would also return to harder A levels and try to produce the best talent for the country with the hardest working getting the best deals.

They Understand?

2010-10-05T07:27:00.005+01:00

Politicians are very good at stating that they understand the position, thoughts and feelings of the voter. I find that very hard to believe especially when so many, Cameron, Osbourne, Balls, Milibands etc have all had quite a privileged up bringing, where the family isn't short of a Bob or two, and many have several hundreds of thousands in the bank, and then send Cameron, Osbourne, milipedes junior to private schools, then go straight into politics without holding down a real job in the real world.

Don't tell me you understand what it means to struggle to make your wages stretch and make sure that your kids have clothes and food and that Christmas is special! You don't understand and never will, just like I will never understand what it feels like not to have to worry, to be able to go on nice holidays at the taxpayers expense, to have a nice state provided house, with a nice state provided salary and gold plated pension.

What do we get in return?

1. Scroungers who don't work demanding bigger houses and more benefits for their growing number of more scroungers.

2. Immigrants coming out of our ears taking from the money that we put in from our hard earned wages, in benefits and hospital treatments.

3. Immigrant scroungers some of whom live in million pound properties and can't see anything wrong in it.

4. Ken Clarke now saying that prisoners should earn £12,000 a year, - what planet is he from? They should be made to work for free to repay society.

5. Fat cat bankers who were bailed out with our money getting large bonus payments ..... for what exactly, helping bring the country to its knees?

6. We have the likes of Bob Crowe, scumbag, who earns loads of money and calls strikes, he isn't going to suffer, he will just get a nice fat lunch on expenses and have fun.

Things have gone too far, we have people on pensions that are a disgrace, some pensions are more than the total staff in a 24 bed care home earn in a year, doesn't that tell you something about our wonderful country when people like Adamm Crozier can earn a fortune from making huge mistakes (the FA and the Post Office) and they are protected by fat cat politicians who only care about themselves and how much they can get for themselves, another good example is the Bercows, what a disgrace these two are.

Out of the EU first, then get rid of all our useless money grabbing privately educated MP's, lets re-write the rules and sack the lot of them.

Care? Why Should They

2010-09-30T06:18:00.003+01:00

The whole of Europe seems to be saying the same thing, we have had enough!

Politicians in Europe also seem to be saying the same thing:

UP YOURS!

The EU has been a burden and a price too much to pay, lets be honest, there is very little unity, except in politicians minds, immigration in this country under Labour spiralled out of control, our taxes are being used to pay for people who haven't put into our system and now the EU are saying that it could be illegal not to make payments to foreign people who come over here to basically scrounge off hard working Britain's, and now of course these fat cats from Brussels (where their weekend starts on Monday and ends on Sunday)want to sue France for getting rid of gypsies.

The EU should be disbanded, our own politicians should step down, after all we have the likes of the Milibands who haven't even worked in the real world before going into politics and they are telling us how to live and run the country.

We have put up with Blair, Mandelson, Brown, Balls Cooper Blears, Harman, Darling, Thatcher over and over again, we have been fed lies, false promises, and still the saps of this country believe in the great British institution of the mother of Parliaments.

It is a lie, politicians lie, it is what they do. They can't run a country, in fact I doubt if one of them could run the care home I manage. They are all abject failures in at least one area, yet they make money from us for failing, that is why voters are saps, they never learn.

My next vote will be to destroy the ballot paper, I want nothing to do with what is currently happening, I voted UKIP last time as I strongly believe that the EU is as useful as a chocolate teapot and our politicians are no better.

I keep saying this, maybe one day someone will find my written thoughts and realise that maybe its right. WE NEED A REVOLUTION, WE NEED TO KICK OUT ALL POLITICIANS AND JAIL THOSE WHO HAVE ABUSED THE SYSTEM SUCH AS BLAIR AND BROWN.

We need to start again with people who have a real experience of life, having worked, hopefully from the ground up, prior to wanting to become a politician, and who really want to serve the country and not themselves or their so called party. We get one life and one chance and the fools we have in power now are screwing this up for us, and until we kick them out and start again it will never change, it will always be the same old, same old, just swapping one bunch of liars for another.

Crapman Returns

2010-03-30T18:07:00.004+01:00

The return of crapman has happened, shows how low Brown will stoop.

Blair - liar supreme, unashamed war criminal and avoider of taxes has returned to ridicule the opposition. What a self obsessed disgusting man he is, he will continue to role out lies and deceit, remember this is the man who has made millions since leaving power, and has done his best to hide it so that he can avoid paying taxes.

Believe him at your peril, he is one of the most despised and untrustworthy men this country has produced.

Lord Mandelson - SCUMBAG SUPREME

2010-03-28T06:47:00.005+01:00

Lord Mandelson what a joke, what an affront this man is. Twice forced to resign from government, always at the forefront of having 'businessmen friends' who will offer freebies or loans with no questions asked.

Then Brown lets this man back in, and it was an obvious nose thumbing to the British voter. Lets make no bones about it, Mandelson has been set up for life. He will get more that a pensioner gets in a week on a daily basis just for signing in to the Lords. This man is the puppet master of Labour and the government, therefore he is the most dangerous man in Britain.

I personally see Mandelson as a criminal who has managed to avoid prison, how I don't know, but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him and as he makes sure no one can get close to him there is no chance of that ever happening.

Oh I'm sure he can be suave and charming, but then I'm sure a funnel web spider, a pit viper or a dung beetle could be just as charming and suave given the chance. If the country votes to keep Labour in then this puppet master will continue to manipulate lie and cheat.

The day Mandelson was made a Lord was the day that, common sense, morality and honesty were shut out when the doors to the Lords were shut, letting him in. All I can hope is that this nasty, devious, odorous, piece of high class rubbish experiences something extremely painful in his life, like a long lingering death in severe pain.

He is the worst thing this country has produced, worse than Bliar, worse than a paedophile, he is so low he takes tea with Lucifer himself.

Kurdish Hackers

2010-03-27T13:25:00.002Z

Kurdish Hackers, what a sad bunch of morons they are.

They have hacked a site for a care home in Eastbourne, WHY????

Morons like this haven't got a life they are lower than pigs and have the blood of pigs flowing through their veins and arteries.

All I can say to them is IDIOTS, GET A LIFE>

They are the dross of society.

LIEBOUR

2010-03-20T06:20:00.005Z

We all know what Liebour are like, now we have Brown almost sanctioning the voting rights of our brave troops by making them apply once a year to be on the forces voting register, so not only has this moronic man lied about the funding for our troops equipment to the Chilcot enquiry, which has a court of law status, he is now guilty of restricting their voting rights.

Blair yet again is in the news, he really is the most loathsome man on the planet. To me it is evident that he spent time whilst in power making links and preparing for the day he would either be ousted or forced to step down as each one was inevitable, it just wasn't certain which one would come first and back stabber Brown got in first. He has made dubious deals and relationships throughout the world with dubious countries and dubious men and women.

He is feted as a celebrity, but still he is despised in his own country, purely for the simple fact that he is seen as a LIAR, a man who is only really interested in his own personal power and wealth, and despite making approximately £20,000,000 since he left power, and that can only be an approximate figure as he is very adept at hiding and moving money around, the tax payer still had to fork out a further £270,000 for his protection when attending the Chilcot enquiry.

Why should we pay? If I had my way it would be a case of pay for your own protection or have none, it would not be any great loss to this country if someone had been able to get to him, and a funeral would have been a lot cheaper and more fun to watch with the likes of Gordon Brown doing his mock crying, and telling one and all what a wonderful man this war criminal was.

Things get worse, we now have that vile woman Nadine Dorries seemingly backing some abrasive ex-broadcaster to stand as an independent against Esther Rantzen. Remember Nadine Dorries, she was the one who couldn't understand why the British public were so angry about the expenses scandal and thought it was her right to claim what she wanted with no comeback, it seems she might be 'friendly' with this broadcaster.

The world has gone mad, and we have the opportunity to change things soon, if you have an independent maybe you should consider voting for them, they are free from any party, therefore they are free from any party diktats. If not consider going for some other party such as UKIP or even BNP, we have to break the endless cycle of these corrupt politicians.

Each of the three main parties these days are the same, there is very little to choose, and they are too close to each other. Liebour are no longer the party of the people, this has been proven first by BLIAR and then by BROWN who promptly decided that the election promise on the Treaty of Lisbon was his to renege on. Rock on Brown,that is just one of his many mistakes, he hasn't controlled the banks or giving outrageous bonus payments to bankers, but our hard earned money has gone to bail them out, in effect helping to fund these bonus payments whilst others are loosing their jobs thanks to Brown and the banks, there is no loyalty to the voters of this country by the politicians, they now only look after number one or the party, but number one always comes first.

Here we go Again

2010-03-16T06:26:00.002Z

Brown has decided he won't step down if Labour loses the election. Good maybe that will give the kiss of death to a political party that lost its way over 30 years ago and still remains lost.

Labour now seems to be made up of liars, cheats, egotists and morons, who cannot see what the voting public want, who have worked hard to disassemble Britain and have certainly taken the Great out of Britain. They have tried to water down our history and culture and their weapon of choice in this is to open the flood gates to anybody who wants to live here, usually at the paying taxpayers expense. The latest is that Polish women who want an abortion are being encouraged to come here for an abortion by their pro-abortion group.

We will also be paying money towards saving Greece and the Euro all because Brown and Mandelson want us to remain in the EU, when the majority (that is the most, the people who matter Gordon and Peter) want to be well out of the EU and for this country to become great again. This cannot happen under Brussels or Labour so both have to go.

At one point I was wondering who to vote for, but now I think that the three main parties have all lost their way, and all the leaders seem to have latched on to the Tony Blair way of presenting themselves, which for me doesn't bode well, so my choice is now that I will vote UKIP if there is a candidate locally if not it might even then be BNP.

A bloody nose has to be given to these corrupt and now defunct and useless political parties that are so far away from the voters that they cannot see the wood for the trees. The expenses battle still rages and now these dysfunctional MP's want to have a pay-rise, whilst the few that have finally been charged are trying to use a law meant to protect to help them scam the country, and they can see nothing wrong in what they have done.

What is even more scary is that many MP's from all parties have managed to get away with many expenses, it is only the few unfortunate souls who have been offered up for the sacrificial slaughter (obviously deemed as useless, therefore can be safely got rid of) who have to face the wrath of the country.

As antipolitician I call on everyone to start giving their local MP some real grief, if you see him in the flesh give him some verbal stick, I never see Nigel Waterson he seems to hide away unless there is a camera present from the local rag, but he has had many letters.

It is time to stand up and fight, I have never heard so many people openly state that they feel a revolution is coming, it may not happen soon, but there is definitely a change in the air, but being British this may take another 50 years to happen, I hope not, because the sooner we change things the swifter we will get this country back to where it should be belonging to Britain's who are proud of their history, not the dumbed down history Labour want to feed us for fear of upsetting other cultures and religions. If immigrants come to Britain they adapt to us, not us to them.

Cameron Loosing Ground

2010-02-27T07:20:00.003Z

I am not surprised really, this country needs to be told straight what is required to turn broken Britain back around, and it ain't gonna happen if you are trying to pick pretty faces to replace talent, in other words, wrong move Dave, this more women thing, we need talent no matter what sex, race or creed so pick the best, not a pretty face.

As a country we are able to take things on the chin, we may not like it, but if it is the right course of action we will, as a nation go along with it. So dear old Dave needs to give us his view of how to repair broken Britain, and his plans to do so.

He needs to take into account everything that we hold dear such as immigration, the benefit system and its abuse, education and falling standards and thuggery in schools, the sick health service, link the sick health service with immigrants and people from abroad getting free health care and that is well on the way to being cracked, if you stop that from happening, you want to enter the country, show us you can pay your way for everything.

I wrote an email to Dave along these lines, of course I didn't get an answer, it was too sensible, and he is wrapped up with his spin doctors who are advising him to fight Labour on Labours terms so he's already onto a looser and he hasn't got long to get it right and put it to the nation. Dave Labour have broken Britain we need to hear how you intend to repair it, give us the solution on the chin, make it clear and simple, because simple always works best remember KISS (Keep it simple, stupid)

Do You Trust Any of Them?

2010-02-14T05:58:00.002Z

When you see the latest efforts by Brown and Cameron playing on the heart strings, would you really base your vote on this blatant woe is me appeal?

Then we have that most disgusting of unelected morons, MANDELSON now claiming that the Euro is a great idea and we should subscribe to it even though Greece is doing its best to bankrupt it.

More and more our political scene is descending into a morass of self pity with MP's who have been caught out in the expenses scandal trying to get away from paying back anything at all, and still claiming that they were obeying the rules, then you have the Kirkbrides who are now after huge paying position with companies, he has got a £100,000 pa job as a lobbyist and she is after the same.

I have said it so often that it is becoming boring to many, but this country will never recover by continuing down the path that we are on. We need a complete closure of Parliament, whether by revolution or by agreement, all MP's need to stand down including the illustrious party leaders and new rules need to be written then and only then should we restart with a new election.

Rules should include a decent wage with no expenses, but MP's must attend Parliament on a regular basis and only have 6 weeks holiday a year. When Parliament is shut they should attend in the constituencies. Spin Doctors, even those disguised as aides should be barred, as should quangos as a waste of money and time.

MP's should have to pay for their own team out of their own salary, that will reduce the amount of people each can employ and no party should be allowed to indiscriminately employ people so we should see the demise of people like Campbell whose role should be severely restricted.

No unelected person should be allowed to work in government at high level, getting rid of the likes of Mandelson and each Prime Minister should be elected by the people, stopping people like Brown automatically taking over, if a Prime Minister wishes to step down this should automatically generate a general election.

These are very simple very basic rules which govern they way our country is run, at the moment all we have are despots and media mongers and those who are unelected running or ruining the country. If found to have lied or deceiving the country even a Prime Minister should be stripped of their right to stand in an election and should immediately leave Parliament stopping the likes of the BLIAR fiasco again.

Boo Hoo Brown

2010-02-13T06:32:00.003Z

Does anyone actually believe Boo Hoo Brown and his latest media ploy to get sympathy before the election?

Brown is a complete piece of excrement, he and his party have ruined this country, morally, financially and by unlimited immigration. The Labour party have constantly lied to the country or deceived it first with BLAIR - LIAR PAR EXCELLANCE, then with Brown who has brought in the most despised man in politics in the shape of Mandelson.

Anyone who votes for Labour or for Brown really needs to get some sort of psychiatric help, as there is no way that Brown will change or the Labour party for that matter. The only way this country can move forward is for every MP to step down and for the country to have new candidates with new morals, code of conduct and rules that the new MP's agree to abide to.

This country has become morally corrupt under Labour and all the present MP's as they have all been complicit in the misuse of expenses by turning a blind eye until it was too late to do so. Now we need to start again, with the right people, with the right morals who will look after the country not themselves, but none of this bunch of cowardly, moral less, scheming MP's are going to listen so it is with a heavy heart that I know eventually a revolution will have to take place, I just hope too many lives are not lost, but to me it is now inevitable, possibly within the next 50 years and when historians look back as they do they will have to conclude that the seeds of revolution started when Labour came into power.

Jeremy Clarkson

2009-11-20T04:54:00.004Z

Jeremy Clarkson wrote this in the Sunday Times on 8th November 2009 and it needs to be read by everyone as it was pulled by the Times, possibly at the request of that useless disgraced piece of doggy do that the piece was written about, here it is in all its glory for everyone to enjoy.

Jeremy Clarkson - Sunday Times 8/11/09

I've given the matter a great deal of thought all week, and I'm afraid I've decided that it's no good putting Peter Mandelson in a prison. I'm afraid he will have to be tied to the front of a van and driven round the country until he isn't alive any more.

He announced last week that middle-class children will simply not be allowed into the country's top universities even if they have 4,000 A-levels, because all the places will be taken by Albanians and guillemots and whatever other stupid bandwagon the conniving idiot has leapt on.

I hate Peter Mandelson. I hate his fondness for extremely pale blue jeans and I hate that preposterous moustache he used to sport in the days when he didn't bother trying to cover up his left-wing fanaticism. I hate the way he quite literally lords it over us even though he's resigned in disgrace twice, and now holds an important decision-making job for which he was not elected. Mostly, though, I hate him because his one-man war on the bright and the witty and the successful means that half my friends now seem to be taking leave of their senses.

There's talk of emigration in the air. It's everywhere I go. Parties. Work. In the supermarket. My daughter is working herself half to death to get good grades at GSCE and can't see the point because she won't be going to university, because she doesn't have a beak or flippers or a qualification in washing windscreens at the lights. She wonders, often, why we don't live in America .

Then you have the chaps and chapesses who can't stand the constant raids on their wallets and their privacy. They can't understand why they are taxed at 50% on their income and then taxed again for driving into the nation's capital. They can't understand what happened to the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction. They can't understand anything. They see the Highway Wombles in those brand new 4x4s that they paid for, and they see the M4 bus lane and they see the speed cameras and the community support officers and they see the Albanians stealing their wheelbarrows and nothing can be done because it's racist.

And they see Alistair Darling handing over £4,350 of their money to not sort out the banking crisis that he doesn't understand because he's a small-town solicitor, and they see the stupid war on drugs and the war on drink and the war on smoking and the war on hunting and the war on fun and the war on scientists and the obsession with the climate and the price of train fares soaring past £1,000 and the Guardian power-brokers getting uppity about one shot baboon and not uppity at all about all the dead soldiers in Afghanistan, and how they got rid of Blair only to find the lying twerp is now going to come back even more powerful than ever, and they think, "I've had enough of this. I'm off."

It's a lovely idea, to get out of this stupid, Fairtrade, Brown-stained, Mandelson-skewed, equal-opportunities, multicultural, carbon-neutral, trendily left, regionally assembled, big-government, trilingual, mosque-drenched, all-the-pigs-are-equal, property-is-theft hellhole and set up shop somewhere else. But where?

You can't go to France because you need to complete 17 forms in triplicate every time you want to build a greenhouse, and you can't go to Switzerland because you will be reported to your neighbours by the police and subsequently shot in the head if you don't sweep your lawn properly, and you can't go to Italy because you'll soon tire of waking up in the morning to find a horse's head in your bed because you forgot to give a man called Don a bundle of used notes for "organising" a plumber.

You can't go to Australia because it's full of things that will eat you, you can't go to New Zealand because they don't accept anyone who is more than 40 and you can't go to Monte Carlo because they don't accept anyone who has less than 40 mill. And you can't go to Spain because you're not called Del and you weren't involved in the Walthamstow blag. And you

can't go to Germany ... because you just can't.

The Caribbean sounds tempting, but there is no work, which means that one day, whether you like it or not, you'll end up like all the other expats, with a nose like a burst beetroot, wondering if it's okay to have a small sharpener at 10 in the morning. And, as I keep explaining to my daughter, we can't go to America because if you catch a cold over there, the health system is designed in such a way that you end up without a house. Or dead.

Canada's full of people pretending to be French, South Africa's too risky, Russia's worse and everywhere else is too full of snow, too full of flies or too full of people who want to cut your head off on the internet. So you can dream all you like about upping sticks and moving to a country that doesn't help itself to half of everything you earn and then spend the money it gets on bus lanes and advertisements about the dangers of salt.

But wherever you go you'll wind up an alcoholic or dead or bored or in a cellar, in an orange jumpsuit, gently wetting yourself on the web. All of these things are worse than being persecuted for eating a sandwich at the wheel.

I see no reason to be miserable. Yes, Britain now is worse than it's been for decades, but the lunatics who've made it so ghastly are on their way out. Soon, they will be back in Hackney with their South African nuclear-free peace polenta. And instead the show will be run by a bloke whose dad has a wallpaper shop and possibly, terrifyingly, a twerp in Belgium whose fruitless game of hunt-the-WMD has netted him £15m on the lecture circuit.

So actually I do see a reason to be miserable. Which is why I think it's a good idea to tie Peter Mandelson to a van. Such an act would be cruel and barbaric and inhuman. But it would at least cheer everyone up a bit.

Lets Start Talking Revolution

2009-10-30T13:07:00.001Z

Why are we so scared to have a revolution?

This country is wracked with corrupt MP’s who don’t think they have done anything wrong, and still can’t understand why the voters are angry with their lack of morals.

We have Meddlesome Mandelson, an unelected Member of Parliament who has, at the very least, some questionable morals, yet he is back in a position of power which he has abused enough in the past to have had to resign. Yet again he has been embroiled in conflict with who he mixes with, is it any surprise that he wants to tackle illegal downloads, look at who he has been mixing with lately, coincidence, this man is the master of coincidences.

We have Brown and Milliband singing the praises of Blair and presenting him strongly as THE MAN to lead Europe, the same man who told lies to start a war which cost thousands of lives, he has blood on his hands, is this the right man to lead a superstate?

Brown has made a complete mess of our country and is still in denial, he too is another liar who seems to have invisible strings as he suddenly decided to revoke the promise of holding a vote on the Treaty of Lisbon, now we are being dragged into something that many feel is wrong, we are giving up our freedom and sovereignty to be ruled by faceless uncaring bureaucrats from Brussels.

The Tories do not offer much hope, just the same old, same old. NuLabour in all but name. So do we deserve a revolution, bet your life we do, it is the only way for this country to really get a grip and start again. We do not need the same old rules that have been broken and breached, we don’t need politicians like Blair, Brown, Mandelson and Milliband, we need real people with purpose and more importantly morals.

Lets get writing on the net, lets get out there and preach the blessing of revolution, hopefully in a few years something will change with new rules new politicians with new values and a new country to once again be proud of.

How Long?

2009-05-16T18:06:00.002+01:00

How long before these selfish, conceited Mp's who are nothing more than corrupt thieves will accept that the public, the taxpayer do not accept their stupid conceited explanations of how they are acquiring funds and wealth at our expense.

The hangmans noose should be made ready because surely now enough is enough of these disgusting parasites.

Shouting From the Rooftops

2009-05-16T05:51:00.006+01:00

I have been shouting from the rooftops (metaphorically speaking) at every opportunity about our corrupt MP's and the corrupt system they have imposed on this country for years. There is the smell of revolution in the air, yet still the piggies in Parliament, have their faces so far in the trough that the can't smell what is going on around them, how long will this continue, how long before verbal anger transfer into something more tangible?

I don't think long. MP's have continuously ignored the tax payer, the voter and the original leader of the pack was Blair, it was under him in the 1990's that things started to go seriously wrong for this country. Brown compounded the issue, turned a blind eye (sorry for the pun)to the issue over the EU and the treaty of Lisbon where another hotbed of scandal waits with I hope trepidation, because they had changed the name of the 'Treaty', they all had their snouts in the trough, expenses were about helping them not to have to put their hand in their own pocket when carrying Parliamentary duties, not what it ended up being which was not putting your hand in your pocket for Tampax (and that from a male MP, makes you wonder if he's a little bit perverted!) and even Brown claiming for Sky Sports in his expenses why, does Sky Sports help to run the country? was it essential to the planning our way out of the credit crunch, which by the way hasn't affected MP's they just put in higher claims for expenses.

BNP are scary, but even I had once considered them as an alternative to the lying, thieving neo nazi's we now have installed in the House of Commons.

Neo Nazi's I hear you ask? Brown and Blair have been control freaks from the start, they have spent time and our money trying to spy on ordinary citizens, whilst at the same time either joining in with the piggies at the trough or at the very least turning a blind eye. The other parties aren't blameless either, so what is left for this country?

No one listens to the tax payer, immigration is out of control, PC and human rights defends the offenders not the victims. Criminals have been able to claim their human rights have been abused and we have had to cough up. Immigrants come here and some get £1,000,000 properties and free benefits whilst those with disabilities struggle to get what is due so that they can live, our system is corrupt made corrupt by MP's and the EU, the same EU we were denied a vote on by Brown.

Muslim Protestors

2009-03-11T18:08:00.002Z

I have a clear message to the Muslim protesters when our troops returned, the message in particular is aimed at Anjem Choudary.

You or your parents chose to come to my country, you were not invited. If you don't like it please feel free to leave and if money is a problem for a flight I'm sure that the generosity of the British people will very quickly raise the funds you need to leave.

Otherwise please shut up, many of us have now had enough of you scum and your rantings.

Michael Martin Scumbag Politician

2009-02-28T14:03:00.008Z

Michael Martin has been caught out again the story is on the Telegraph. He and his wife, who by the way has no official standing, have robbed the country for holidays at our expense. Here is the story:

He is not alone, Jackie Smith and even Gordon Brown are jumping on the 'lets fill our pockets as quickly as possible' gravy train.

This has to stop, and someone has to make a stand. The average taxpayer is systematically being robbed by corrupt politicians, no one is able to guess at how much we are being robbed by, but it will be a lot of money, money that could be put into operations, drugs to relieve pain for those suffering cancer, drugs for those with dementia, but these thieves are denying the public they are supposed to protect and serve and to add shame to themselves after robbing us blind, they then try to justify it, i.e. Jackie Smith stating she could have claimed more, not much as she almost claimed the maximum amount, so any more would have been peanuts.

We need a summer of discontent, we need to scare the shit out of these lying two faced thieves, we need someone to stand up and be counted, someone who will bring these scumbags into line, we need strong laws that will not only promise prison, but will deliver tough sentences to those caught abusing their expenses and their position.

Mandelson is also at it again, he has been forced to resign twice and he still hasn't learnt his lesson, instead he got made a peer, what a complete joke this country and its politicians are becoming, enough is enough lets march on Parliament, lets make them scared, lets demand change and not stop marching and screaming until change happens, we need a revolution to show these scumbag politicians that we have had enough.

Rotten To The Core

2009-01-27T18:56:00.003Z

Things in Britain as we all know have gone from bad to worse. I can remember Thatchers government being extremely unpopular, and that idiot Scargill managing to play right into her hands, it was one egotist against another and the winning cards were clearly in the hands of Thatcher from day one as Scargill never had the full backing of the Unions from day one.

I’m sure though those who study political history will be able to say that it all started earlier, maybe, I don’t know for sure, I just know that when Thatcher defeated Scargill it left her strong enough to almost do exactly as she wanted and she did.

The poll tax was her idea, now its called the council tax and that is running out of control with the councils actually making some people who cannot pay homeless, this is our great free country, the mother of all democratic governments, turned Robber Barons.

This is Thatchers legacy and which not her own party, but one that NuLabour embraced with open arms, and under Blair well fell for it hook line and sinker. What has it got us so far, well that’s easy to answer, nothing tangible for the common people except maybe more laws every week so many infact that the law courts and the justice system can’t keep up with it.

We are now taxed even more than at any other time in living memory, we have an unelected leader, who has, according to him, saved the world, but at the same time couldn’t see that excessive borrowing would lead to a failure in the banking system and according to the press the banks were three hours away from total collapse, but our great unelected leader had no idea what was coming.

This so far is the climax of this bungling government, even worse than denying the people of England the vote on the EU, which was promised by this turncoat government. Now we have four Labour Lords who it appears have been milking the system to their own benefit and ends, but see this as completely within the rules. The rules of what? Corruption, immorality, scruples, and it will not end with these four, they will be the tip of the iceberg, just the ones who have been caught out. There were glum faces in the House of Lords, no wonder with this being exposed, bang goes the gravy train in this area, have to find something else to raid.

This country is lacking in morals and credibility, not at street chave level, but at the level you would never have thought possible even forty years ago. This was a proud nation once with a proud people and a Parliamentry system that had been the envy of the world, now thanks to Thatchers grab all you can ethos, which has been so thoroughly embraced by this Labour government, this country is on a par with the likes of Zimbabwe, we have our own self appreciating government officials led by a dictator who has no morals running a government of no morals, scruples or empathy with the people it is supposed to be serving.

The legacy this government of ours is going to leave our children, our grandchildren and possibly even our great grandchildren is a broken country in debt to the tune of trillions of pounds, with a new class of despots who only care about how much money they can accumulate for their own selfish means, who would even take from the mouths of the starving to satisfy their own personal greed.

Welcome to our Brave New World courtesy of Thatcher, Blair and Brown.

I Wanna

2008-11-26T06:18:00.003Z

I wanna join the Black Police Officers association, but I'm not black nor am I a policeman, are my human rights being infringed?

I wanna join the Muslim Council of England, but I'm not a Muslim, are my human rights being infringed?

I wanna join the Womens Institute, but I'm not female, are my human rights being infringed?

I wanna join a youth club, but I'm not a youth, are my human rights being infringed?

I wanna be financially bailed out, but I'm not a bank nor am I a foreign owned business, are my human rights being infringed.

I wanna talk directly to my Prime Minister, but its not an election issue, nor is an election due, are my human rights being infringed?

Political Correctness, the most stupid of expressions, designed by people who had good intentions, but abused by the morons who can use it to make a fast buck.

Human Rights, designed by people with good intentions to help those being abused in Dictatorships, but taken over by bureacracts and changed and abused beyond its original meaning.

Political Party's, no longer the place for those with a conscience or who wish to serve their country, but a refuge for ex-public school people, who see it as a career with power over those who cannot fight back, and at the same time use it to increase their personal wealth at others expense.

BNP List

2008-11-20T06:05:00.005Z

Sorry folks not 'The List' just my thoughts on the whole affair, but feel free to read on, these are only thoughts, I'm not a member of BNP nor do I advocate any of its policies, but.......................

It is a legal Political Party; therefore as such, no one should be penalised for being a member, after all you are not penalised for being a member of the Labour Party, Conservative Party UKIP, Liberal Democrats etc so is this not being 'undemocratic?'

I see that a police officer is under investigation for being a member, isn't this double standards? are police officers being investigated for being members of other political parties? Are members of the Black police Officers Association being investigated as you have to be black to join? Is this not a form of racism?

Are our human rights being impinged on?

The indigenous people of England have seen their rights, customs, and culture eroded over the years. Just this year alone we have had more immigrants and that is according to government figures. If you are indigenous it appears you have less rights than an immigrant, you could be bumped off a council house list, because someone has moved to the country and needs a house more than you do because they have claimed 'political asylum'.

How many countries would put up with us as Christians becoming immigrants and demanding, free housing? freedom to build a Church, ring Church bells on a Sunday to call the faithful, allow communion because the symbolic blood of Christ is wine? How many of these countries would allow you to have your own organisation such as the Muslim Council of Britain, or the Black Police Officers Association? Could you imagine Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran or countries like this allowing this to happen, I can't.

This has shown up more flaws in our 'fair' system than anything else that could have been done. How many employers e.g. police, social services or ordinary employers are scouring the list to see if any of their employees are members, this has become a witch hunt for their beliefs, but try to do the same for a Muslim, or someone who is coloured and watch the backlash.

The Dawkins Failure

2008-10-25T06:16:00.000+01:00

Once upon a time there was an up jumped little slime bag called Professor Dawkins, who wanted to take away any joy in the world for children and for those who believed in religion.

The children were kept away from the rantings of this nasty unwholesome man, who would ban anything that didn't fit into his ideal world of how things should be, and the huge amounts of money he was making by making children's lives a misery.

The people who wanted to believe in God were also affected as he wanted to prove that there was no God, but how? If he thought there was no God how could he prove it, he was in the same dilemma as those who wanted to prove there was a God, the evidence factor.

Dawkins the dork had a fight on his hands, after all why shouldn't children be allowed to have fantasy tales? Adults have them in the form of science fiction and also have books on wizards and demons, is denying a good read for children nothing more than child abuse?

As for religion surely as people we have the right to either believe or disbelieve, I disbelieve, but that is my right, I do not go out of my way to prove there is no God and I do not expect to be preached to that there is a God.

Why can't this man keep his big nose out and try to stop the endless self publicity? Oh I forgot his own personal God comes into this its called .............................MONEY.

Saviour or New World Order

2008-10-13T05:47:00.003+01:00

Well its happening Gordon Brown will be nationalising some of the big banks. The Telegraph reports that the French see him as reborn as he seems comfortable dealing with and leading Europe through this crisis, I wonder, is it too comfortable?

I have always felt that Nu-Labour had a strange feel about them. They were almost falling over themselves to be seen as the good guys after the devastating 18 years of Tory control, yet within a very short time, we were plunged into a war on a web of deceit, given a Prime Minister we didn't vote for, and denied a vote on the Treaty of Lisbon, even though it was promised as part of an election campaign, because according to Nu-Labour spin it was essentially different even though many of the leaders of Europe were admitting that there was no change apart from thge name. Then we had Tony Blair being seen mixing it with the Bilderbergs, coincidence? You work it out.

I think that this is a bold and decisive move, but I also wonder yet again if the global crisis was engineered, its not beyond reasonable doubt and look what the prize was, almost total control of the countries banking system, how best to control the populous? They will have their own men on the boards, will there be a list that tells them not to lend to various people who do not toe the line? Again this is not beyond the realms of possibility, I for one have never trusted Gordon Brown or the Nu-Labour party as they are the masters of spin and deceit all I can say is beware.

Who is Running/Ruining the World?

2008-10-11T06:22:00.003+01:00

Before anyone gets into attack mode this is a light hearted piece, that also might get you thinking, as I believe that nothing ever happens without someone being behind it, except for acts of nature, but even then these are called Acts of God, we just don't know which God!!!!

Anyone heard of the Bilderbergs? I found this very good piece about them in the Guardian and its worth having a look at as it brought a smile to my face especially the bit about Mandelson and Rumsfeld so take a look and have a giggle, God knows we need one at the moment.

So what about the Illunimati? I have followed documentaries about these and the New World Order (NWO) for years, fascinating fun and great to muse about, but when something like the credit crunch happens, you do begin to wonder. After all why have a group such as the Bilderbergs who really do exisit, then look at the Illuminati who no one for knows for sure doesn't exist. Look at Wiki.

Does this make you wonder if the Bilderbergs are just another name for the Illuminati? Why do the Bilderbergs have to operate so secretly if they are acting innocently? Surely they are just enhancing their own mystique by being so secretive, and how do we know that the hand or hands of a certain man or men are not behind the global extremes we are seeing at the moment to keep everyone under control.

After all lets look at things. Bush is purported to be part of a secret organisation, and his final term (thank God) is coming to an end. Britain has been unhappy with its government for a very long time, we had 18 years of awful conservative government then Labour who lasted as long as it took for the honeymoon period to end, then we saw the same old Labour party up to its usual tricks for which it has had a reputation over the past few decades. Was Brown 'ordered' to sell our gold reserves, after all its not the prudent thing to do, and what about our pensions again not prudent, but Brown again did something which no normal, intelligent Chancellor who has his finger on the pulse would do.

Great fun this isn't it? The conspiracy theories could go on forever, and we can expand, invent etc as much as we like as here we are in the middle of a crisis which has effectively spiralled out of control, and if there is someones hand behind it, I bet its gone further than they imagined it would ........................OR HAS IT?

Slease Man and Brown Bottler

2008-10-05T06:01:00.003+01:00

If you were on the edge of wondering if Gordon Brown had completely lost it or not, surely the news that he has:

a) Made Mandelson a knight
b) Re-employed him in the government

Should have helped you make up your mind.

Who in their right mind would knight someone with both feet firmly placed in Sleaze?

Who in their right mind would re-employ somebody who has TWICE been forced out of government office because of Sleaze allegations?

To me this shows how desperate Brown is, how out of touch Brown is, how stupid and insensitive Brown is.

I really hope that the British public really wake up and get rid of this party for good as the Canadians did with one of their political parties who were blantanly taking the piss.

Sarkozy - What a Horrible LITTLE Man

2008-10-03T09:33:00.002+01:00

Sarkozy wants the Irish to vote again on the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009. When did this horrible interfering little Frenchman become Irish? Like some small people he seems to be making up for his lack of height by throwing his weight about, who was the last person of infamy who did that..... oh yes Adolf Hitler.

Why doesn't this French twat just go and deal with his country and leave other governments to govern their own countries? I'm sure that if other leaders tried to tell the french what to do he would at the forefront of saying that they have no right to do that, otherwise the french would get rid of him toot sweet. So my message to Sarkozy is clear and simple leave other countries to govern themselves and accept a no vote as NO.

Credit Cruch and Bail Out?

2008-10-01T06:07:00.002+01:00

This is really the world going down the plughole and some deserve to loose everything they have, but the majority who don't deserve to loose big time, are eventually going to be the ones who suffer.

The bail out in the USA has stumbled, good or bad I'm not an expert, but in many ways I agree with the populous of the US (makes a change I know), why bail out rich b'stards who have consistently made millions from Wall Street at the little persons expense.

The same is starting to happen over here in good Ole UK. Gordon Brown wants to use our money to bail out Banks, why? If you run Banks badly, with people who are not real bankers in the old sense, if they over extend themselves through greed, if the once Chancellor saw fit to rob our pensions, sell off our gold reserves, why should we bail out these people including Gordon Brown from our taxes.

Let the people who have made millions at our expense, pay back everything they have taken in extortionate salary's and bonus's for the last 5 years before we the common tax payers are made to pay. What about MP's and their huge expense accounts, pay some back to help the country, why should it always be the small person who has to suffer?

Maybe this credit crunch will help fuel a much needed change in attitude from both government and greedy b'strads who have robbed us blind for years, maybe this is armageddon for them, I hope so.

G8

2008-09-28T05:58:00.002+01:00

The G8 worked then, their lavish meals with discussions about the world economy all panned out in the best interests for the world, their stunning forecasts and intervention all dedicated to make sure that financial meltdown does happen, all the back slapping, greedy 8 course meals, expensive hotels, security that we as a world paid for was extremely helpful.

I mean to say look at the enviable situation we are now in, are the politicians going to suffer? are the worlds richest going to suffer? and bankers who have helped lead us into this situation are going to rake off nice hand outs, after all the bloke who ran the Halifax is reputed to be getting £2 million, all for leading the company to disaster, nice one bloke.

I wonder who will get what pay off for causing world depression and the threat of global war?

More Good News

2008-09-28T05:49:00.002+01:00

More Good News.

Reading the Telegraph this morning was an extremely gloomy affair, nothing much in the way of good news, except for that awful Gordon Brown, who seems to have scraped up the polls, but for us normal mortals things look bleak, bleaker and heading towards bleakest ever.

I want to leave my job where I'm desperately unhappy, under paid for what I do, not recognised for the dogmatic contribution I have made to get this 'charity' back into the real world and the work I have carried out to get what I see as a failing care home at least starting to show some signs of improvement.

Our press needs to realise that always presenting bleak news will ultimately depress the nation and those whole read the papers, a few rays of hope are essential for ordinary people, maybe then we will regain the wartime spirit we had in the past.

Paul Newman passed away, a great film star and a real shining light, but up until this morning I had no idea how much this man had done for the world. It would be nice if the press spent more time pursuing good stories like his contribution and others to the world. The press and the editors need a wake up call.

Zero Timers

2008-09-27T07:17:00.000+01:00

I got fed up with Philosophers on Ice, the site was great, but then all of a sudden things started to go sour. God came into almost every blog with baiting of others abounding, by a Christian of all people, it got down right nasty and dirty, but isn't that the same the world over.

So I bit the bullet and started a new site called zero timers, so far a good start I only pop in every now and again as my son and I have taken up archery and every spare moment is taken up with dashing for the archery field to practise our new skills, or to scare the hell out of others depending on which side of the fence you sit.

Zero Timers is an open site as opposed to POI so anyone can join or ask me to join, I just want people to able to share without the nasty aggression that seems to have to take place on some blog sites, after all we are all entitled to our own opinions and we should respect others opinion, something politicians would do well to understand, so Fook Off Brown and Co.

Meltdown

2008-09-27T07:00:00.000+01:00

Well the financial world is in meltdown, is it good or bad. To me it was bound to happen and our wonderful politicians around the world all had their snouts in the trough in one way or another.

The blame is being firmly laid at the banks door steps and quite rightly after all these so called experts decided it was wise to lend huge amounts of money to people who couldn't afford to keep up payments or afford the repayments in the first place, very clever, or in plain English very fooking stupid.

Now we have banks going to the wall, but the greedy b'stards who help start it all still crawling out of the woodwork with huge sums of money, that Halifax Geezer will get about £2million. Our politicians have also helped produce this as they either sat on their collective fat backsides and allowed the banks to exercise unscrupulously in this market for years. They have consistently ripped off the ordinary punter and everything has been hidden away.

I'm also sure that many of the politicians had a hand in the sub prime market, surely I read somewhere that during his time as Chancellor (or should that be Chancer) Brown was not only involved in destroying our pensions selling our gold reserves, but I seem to remember reading somewhere he had invested some of the country's wealth in the sub prime market, but all of a sudden that news seems to have gone off the radar, I wonder why?

So what do we have to look forward to? One thing is for certain, more claptrap and bullshit from politicians, e.g. look at the most recent Labour Conference and that sickening episode with Browns wife introducing him, then him trying to do a Blair. His spin doctor certainly earned his 30 pieces of silver that day, I hope the b'stard never has a decent nights sleep again. The elderly, the most vulnerable and the poorest are going to suffer the most and the politicians will demand more money or will continue to scam as much as possible from expense accounts and keep reminding us how lucky we are to have such wonderful public servants as themselves.

Time for a revolution yet?

G8 - The Tossers Party

2008-07-07T06:58:00.003+01:00

So here we go again the meeting of the G8 (fanfare here please), the meeting of minds of the most financially powerful countries on the planet, or another way to put it another free shindig paid for by the countries they are suppose to represent.

Democracy no longer exists and these great leaders show us that democracy no longer exists after all we have Germany, France, Britain and Italy countries which have all denied their people the right to vote on the EU.

Then you have the least popular President the USA has ever had, and some say the least successful, well he managed to start a war he couldn't finish, that has to say something. Then there is Russia, well what can you say, it appears to be democratic now, but is it in reality autocratic? With the latest Czar being manipulated by the new Ras-Putin ?. Who knows and do we really care?

Have things got so bad under successive poor governments that we have all now become sanitised to the effect of bad management, low morals by the so called leaders? It looks like there will be rumblings about food production, is this before they go into one of their banquets? and is the rumbling from their tummy's in anticipation of the next blow out that they will receive free of charge?

Bio fuel production is likely to be part blamed for the lack of food available to those who are not on a politicians salary, but hang on a second which one of this bunch were pushing for alternative fuels? Take a guess, whoever you pick you will not make a wrong guess, after all if one says something that appears to be 'good' then everyone jumps on the gravy train.

Then there is Zimbabwe, Oh God, why don't they just all turn their backs on this sham of an administartion and walk away, let them print their toy town money, let them play at being God, or do something positive instead of making useless condemnations and protestations, don't go on about the legality of their political voting system, remember Bush and how he got into power the first time, remember Brown and how he slide into power, well there are two of the eight (for those with maths difficulties that equates to 25%) that have suspicious starts and lets be honest neither one of those is even a half decent leader.

So sham takes place again and out of it there will be triumphant leaders returning to their respective countries proclaiming what a success it was, whilst stiffling a burp I wonder?

Three In One

2008-07-06T06:24:00.005+01:00

I must admit I'm feeling a bit lazy, with so much going on and trying to achieve so much, I have decided to do a three in one blog, so forgive me for being a bit rude or lazy and if you're reading this pick your section.

Work
Those who know me, know that I'm desperately unhappy in my new role as a care home manager for a charity. They are players of games and seem to be more interested in how many sheltered housing units they get in a short space of time, rather that put right what is so obviously wrong with the care side, so my simple request to them, is get out of the care home side of the business.

Since prior to 11th March this year I have been telling our wonderful head office that almost 50% of my staff do not have a contract of employment or require an amendment. Since this date I have also told head office that the Policies and Procedures held by the home I manage are incomplete and also out of date, with one not having been apparently reviewed since 1994.

Deafness seems to be rife in our head office with the Chief Executive having the leading role in this. Policies and Procedures are really important, but not according to our head office staff. I have already had one serious incident in the care home, where the police were involved, Health and Safety Executive had to be informed under Riddor, and the CSCI had to be informed, was there a policy or procedure in place to assist me? DON'T BE SILLY.

I have got so sick of things I have been looking for another job, in the meantime I have started my own web site offering my services, this is called: www.kism.co.uk Kism stands for Keep It Simple Management something my present employers seem unable to do.

Nicholas Sarkozy
Now I don't like politicians in general, there are some, (I think very few) who really still have ideals and morals, but on the whole they are a sad bunch of bastards who only seem to be into politics so they can either legally steal (expenses) or throw their weight about.

Then we have the really, really nasty ones like Mugabe. Sarkozy to me is almost as bad. What a horrible little man, I can't think of anything nice to say about him. He is another budding despot who likes to throw his weight around. Did you read the report about him on the TV channel which is now on youtube?

The comment he has made about Peter Mandelson might well be true, but this is really the pot calling the kettle black. He appears to be almost as unpopular in his country as Brown is in England. How long do you give either of them?

I think the G8 is such a waste of time, preening politicians heavily guarded, because they know they are so unpopular, and that they are a ripe target, almost makes you wish that an earthquake, which Japan has many of, would happen at the most opportune time and wipe these ?people? off the face of the earth.

MP's Expenses
So the greedy bastards voted against having their expense accounts limited or placed under better control, surprise, surprise, after all their expense accounts are far in excess of what a normal person earns, for what is quite possibly, a longer working week.

They included Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary, Shaun Woodward, the Northern Ireland Secretary, Paul Murphy, the Welsh Secretary, and Caroline Flint, the Housing Minister.

In addition, both of Gordon Brown's parliamentary aides, Ian Austin and Angela Smith, both rejected the proposals, as did the Prime Minister's close ally Nick Brown and a number of junior ministers.

Have you seen the video on You Tube about MEP's going to collect money armed with their suitcases, before dashing off on a Friday to go on holiday or go home? One dozy cow attempts to run for it seeing the camera crew, and runs straight into the side of the elevator.

MP's of all sorts wonder why the public get angry, why they get bad press, the answer is simple, you are crap at what you do, get paid a huge amount of money for doing it, are crap at what you do and get a huge expense account to fiddle.
Makes you wonder, who are the biggest crooks, the ones in prison, or the ones in the Houses Of Parliament?

Give Up Gordon

2008-06-14T13:09:00.002+01:00

Time for Gordon Brown to realise that with the Irish vote against the Treaty of Lisbon or as I prefer to call it the Treaty to Dispose of Democracy and now the Czechs saying it should not be ratified, this Treaty has lost its punch, its power and its way and its time to call a halt to this sad sordid affair.

The people of Europe and in particular in the UK do not have trust in this Treaty or in any leader who wants to so openly go against the wishes of the people they are supposed to serve, so my message to all these leaders is learn to lead by listening to the people, that is what Democracy is about, it not about selfish self styled dictators trying to get their own way then sulking when it goes against them.

These leaders are acting like schoolyard bullies if you won't play my way then I shall find another way of pushing this through, WE DON'T WANT YOUR TREATY OF LISBON - SO FUCK OFF

Thank you to the Irish

I think we owe a big vote of thanks to the Irish who have proved that democracy can work, even in these times where politicians are trying to take away our democratic rights and turn this country and all of Europe into a Dictatorship, and these lying two faced bastards who are trying deprive us of democracy have the nerve to call Mugabe a dictator, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Hopefully our lying two faced, most unpopular Prime Minister ever, will listen to the people he is supposed to serve, but rarely listens to, and will now declare this Treaty of Lisbon (or if you prefer, Treaty to Dispose of Democracy) dead and gone and will not join in the attempts to revive it as no doubt those pig headed ignorant people will obviously want to do as it will deny them the power of a Soviet Stalinist type state they so desperately want to achieve.

Is The EU The First Stage of Dictatorship?

2008-06-12T06:58:00.002+01:00

Reading the Telegraph again I find that the EU is looking at finding a way around a NO vote from the Irish, so that no matter what happens they will forge forward with their plans for a president, new laws and a dismantling of each sovereign state.

Is this the start of Universal Dictatorship? Are our children going to be bound in almost slavery by a few bent MEP's who have proved themselves to be fraudsters and wasters of the highest order? And what in this new European Order will happen to our Royal Family, will they be pensioned off, or killed off, after all I now think anything is possible by the EU.

Here is the story.

Philosophers on Ice

2008-06-11T18:22:00.002+01:00

POI has managed to last 6 months even though some people thought that we wouldn't last that long. Well one blog alone today received over 40 comments, far more than the site we left. Many of the blogs on POI easily achieve a higher hit rate than the site we left with far fewer registered users, (although I don't believe the figures given as they may have 20,000 registered users, but only about 40 active users).

So cheers to POI, it has been a great experiment that has won through, with good blogs, great people and fun to be a member of.

More Corruption

2008-06-02T06:47:00.003+01:00

Well reading the Daily Telegraph this morning and yet again it reeks of political corruption, and not just from Twatman and his friends, but lets not leave dear old twatman until last, after all he is the leader. It appears that the one eyed twat has been caught diverting funds to the Labour Heartland to try and boost votes. Does he really think that will help or is this a last ditch attempt to hold onto power like that other aging despot Mugabe who has now taken to arresting his opposition, so that when the next stage of the elections come around who will be left to fight him? Watch out Cameron knowing Brown and Labour and the way they don't seem to have a single idea of their own they might adopt this tactic and arrest your party so that the one eyed monster can carry on his daemonic rule in making this the most oppressive country in Europe.

Then of course we have dear old David Camerons bunch of high rollers, well what can one say, if there was ever a good reason for the treaty of Lisbon to be dropped, this must be it. Yet another case of where a politician is getting away with blue murder and no one seems to care, Oh the calls are out for an investigation, will it happen? maybe, but by the time there is an investigation enough time will have been allowed for books to cooked and excuses invented and of course the 'I repent' speach to be written by some spin doctor.

It is now everyday that these so called politicians are reported, as something crooked going on, still they steal and cheat, give us tales of woe as to why they should spend our money on themselves. These politicians are telling us through expensive adverts that we must reduce our 'Carbon Footprint', but these are the same people with second homes, who refuse to use public transport, drive large cars and don't share, and you could really go on and on.

Snouts in the trough is too mild a word for them.

Lame Duck or Wanna Be Stalinist?

2008-06-01T07:55:00.002+01:00

To me this country has become one of the most oppressive in the western world. In place of policemen we have either CCTV or plastic police (PCSO's), we are the most taxed, the most over worked, and I think the most stressed out nation around, and this is all down to our politicians, in particular those who are part of the labour party, who to my mind are Stallinist in their approach, OK they haven't killed vast amounts of people, but the tactics are almost identical oppression and keep the population under control, but this time by severe taxation, whilst our politicians live the life of Rilley on our hard earned cash so a message for all the MP's out there, I hate what you are doing to our country and

A lot of people either think or call dear Gordon Brown a lame duck, me I prefer TWATMAN, but thats beside the point, we know he's a lame duck as a leader, his own party know he's a lame duck as a leader, he must know he's a lame duck as a leader, (unless he believes the sycophants such as Ed Bollocks & Co) and we have another hugely unpopular leader coming to visit who is also seen as a lame duck in his own country, surely having one of our own is enough, without having to import one from the USA and how much is this going to cost the tax payer? Two lame ducks=loads of posh nosh ups, loads of booze available, rich twats wanting to rub shoulders with two of the most unpopular on the planet purely for their own ego's and all at our expense. GREAT!!!!

Have you heard the case about the two Christian preachers quietly distributing Christian leaflets in a mainly Muslim area of Birmingham, no then look at this last time I looked this was essentially a Christian country, and if Jehovahs Witness or Mormons come to my door, I'm either very polite and say no thank or let my wicked sense of humour get the better of me and start a conversation off in a direction that makes them uncomfortable. I do not call the police.

Greedy Scumbag Politicians

2008-05-27T06:30:00.002+01:00

It is now reported that our greedy scumbag politicians want to avoid the embarrassment of making expenses claims and it becoming public so now they want a block £23,000 in expenses that they do not want to account for. Is it me being cynical or are the wastes of good oxygen now taking the right royal piss out of this country and the tax payer, this is clearly a case of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

We also have the conservative MP Tim Yeo who wants a carbon ration card, I bet you that this crackpot idea, will, if the conservatives come to power, be adopted by Crackpot Cameron, but I also bet you that our carbon guzzling MP's with their 2nd homes, new bathrooms and kitchens, window cleaners, gardeners, Sky TV's, Water Bills (paid late), etc etc etc all at the taxpayers expense will be exempt from this.

Save the planet, get rid of greedy tax guzzling MP's.

How Long Before Our MP's Try This

2008-05-21T06:37:00.001+01:00

To show just how rotten MP's are the world over is the Case Silvio Berlusconi, you know the guy Italian PM, who is supposed to have bribed David Mills, Fowl Jowells ex husband who she ditched (we are led to believe) when it became clear it could effect her standing as an MP (a bit late really, Fowl Jowell's standing was already ruined), anyway here is the link, make your own mind up, me, ............................ I'm just not surprised.

As soon as I put up this link, the link disappeared off the front page of the Telegraph, is that coincidence?

Rumminations

2008-05-18T06:41:00.005+01:00

POI was down for maintenance this morning so I took the opportunity to do my normal browse around. Read the Telegraph on line liked the article PM on the Psychologists Couch, although I disagreed with much of it, as sometimes people are just not up to the job or position they crave or they take on e.g. Gordon Brown (Twatman) or one of my new line managers, who hasn't got a clue of how to manage people, if anyone has seen the John Cleese Management videos, you will swiftly get the picture.

I then checked out www.order-order.com Guido Fawkes site to see that I had beaten him to writing about Gordon Brown sending his cabinet to Crewe (I had hoped on a one way ticket), but as usual he was more eloquent than I was. Having exhausted my normal reading areas, it was time to take a peek at My Telegraph, shock, horror, but I still do, especially if I feel a bit down, it always makes me feel better, seeing the petty squabbles that break out, uninformed and useless comments that are made by some of the 'broadsheet' readers, I can't say too much here as some of the readers and bloggers on My Telegraph also frequent POI and are excellent contributors.

As usual there is a mixture of well written, articulate blogs, with a mixture of well written responses, which lead to informed debate. Then there is the dross, the dross in this case coming from someone called Katz. Why this cannot be contained is beyond me, why My Telegraph states that it cannot control those who use their site is beyond me. Squarepeg a lady I respect from the site, was driven to comment how the postings of this person were bringing the site into disrepute.

Sorry squarepeg, I think that this happened ages ago. One constant poster on My Telegraph stated that POI bloggers were sycophants, and suggested another poster join POI, yet this poster, 'a lady' has never visited POI and would never be invited to, but obviously had 'first hand' information of the site. It still gives me a sad feeling that such an excellent concept as My Telegraph has in many instances degenerated into a morass of ugliness, except when Ralph posted his 'We're Alive' blog about his experiences during the China earthquake. For the first time in a long while the site became what it should be and the dross mongers had the good grace to exert some self control so if they had nothing nice to say, they stayed away.

People decided to leave My Telegraph, because of the dross, one poster who it was claimed posted dross, joined POI and has on the whole made some excellent observations and some excellent posts and what he was called when he decided to leave by some of the 'serious' bloggers was far from friendly, but this poster Katz is far worse.

So life goes on and nothing seems to change, POI is still castigated for having invitation only policy, My Telegraph still has a huge amount of dross being posted, and Gordon Brown Twatman) is still the worst and most unpopular PM we have had, ho hum, oh and I read that Oliver Stone has made a film about George W Bush and has reasoned why Tony Blair liked him so much, so expect more crap at the cinema either later on this year or early next year, as I for one will not sit through a film about that man.

Twatman at it Again

2008-05-17T08:15:00.002+01:00

It has been reported that Gordon Brown has sent the whole cabinet to Crewe as a surge to get the votes back for labour. How desperate is that? Finally it may be dawning on the man that there is just a teeny weeny possibility that he might not be very popular, and that he is going to get another drubbing. Has someone let the cat out of the bag? because I'm sure he couldn't work this out for himself.

Will this work? sending the cabinet I mean? Don't be daft, its more likely to convince people to vote the other way, after all who wants Harriet Harlot, Tessa Scowel, Ed Ballcocks, Hazel Fears and Company camping on their doorstep, it would be like a '30's horror movie all they are missing is an appearance by Boris Karloff, and I'm sure that if Brown had thought that might have helped he would have got the shovel out himself to dig up the poor old geezer.

My hopes are two fold:

1. This completely backfires for Brown

2. He gave them all one way tickets.

By the way, if the other lot finally get into power, don't think I will stop being scathing about politicians, they are all a bunch of lying two faced crap artists, who will bleed this country dry given half the chance. I shall just have fun watching as the sycophants have a good year or two (after all they couldn't make it much worse immediately!), then start again as they get comfortable and start the whole ball rolling again. Remember the song by the WHO, Won't Get Fooled Again? Pete Townsend had it completely to rights.

You Have Got to Be Kidding and Oink Oink

2008-05-06T06:01:00.003+01:00

You Have Got To Be Kidding

Well although I mainly blog elsewhere I have decided that time has come to return, especially as the one eyed one has had such a drubbing in the local elections and by losing control of London, (but was he ever in control of London?).

I'm afraid I lost it again with Gordon, I still have that song running around in my head, 'Gordon is a moron' and it seems more apt than ever now. Gordon says he will listen to the people. A bit late for that one pal, if you'd listened before you went into these elections and acted on what you heard you quite possibly wouldn't be in this position where you may well be fighting for your political career. Its a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Gordon blames himself - yup I go along with that, it is his fault, just because he has a public school and university education doesn't make you intelligent, and in Gordon's case this much is blatantly obvious as he is blithely unaware of what the British public and some Americans think of him (for clarification on this click this link).

Oink Oink

Now for the grand finale. I have constantly complained about MP's and their expenses and about the fact that they appear to be totally out of touch with reality, after all look at their expenses, don't have to submit a receipt for anything under £250. Blair claimed for his TV lisense, Prescott and Campbell claimed almost £4,000 for groceries, Cameron claimed £23,000 for his mortgage (that is more than I earn after tax in one year) and the list goes on. To me this is abuse of the system, after all this is our money they are spending, and I don't know of any business that is that generous with its money especially on what would be deeemed as normal day to day living expenses.

Now it appears they are not happy with snouts in the trough, they want to get their whole heads in. It appears that we are being held to ransom, there is no other word for it. If we let them (well not us, tax payers do not get a look in) have a £15,000 rise they will relinquish the right to set their own salaries, Aaaaw isn't that big of them? The fact that this rise alone possibly is what most of the country struggle to live on is beside the point. It looks like they have all had a case of Greedy Twat Attack.

Into The Dragons Den

2008-04-25T07:28:00.002+01:00

A new care job, it was a great feeling in January to be starting again, helping another home recover from a traumatic time, things had to be done with care so as not to loose an already shaky staff group or upset stressed elderly residents.

I can honestly say that three and a half months down the line things had visibly improved with staff settled and much happier and more confident, and residents almost glowing, it was almost too good to be true, and it was. Friday came along and so did my new line managers two of them on a job share. One I had met before and liked a lot, another had been recruited from outside the company.

Unfortunately the outside one took the lead, the following words are my description of this line manager: Unprofessional, bully, confrontational. To my mind she took the manual on Man Management and threw it out of the window.

There are several points that were either blatantly missed or not even considered. I had been with this company ( a Charity)for 3.5 months. I hadn't had an induction so was left to sink or swim, I still didn't know or understand their paperwork, but this all went by the by. In fact I can't even remember being asked how I had settled in, what have I achieved, what have been my problems, my highs my lows, to be honest I can't even remember her greeting me or introducing herself, the first words I heard her say to me after I explained that I was in the process of distributing a letter to all my residents about a noise issue were (put an abrupt tone to this) "Why didn't you call a residents immediately?", I was taking the personal approach as I knew that if I held a residents meeting only about a third would attend, it also gave me the chance to talk to any residents who may have got upset by the letter and fear that they might 'get thrown out' This personal touch is important to me and from what I have heard from my residents it is to them as well.

When we settled into my office the scene was set, and it was clear that this was not going to be an introducing sort of visit as explained by the chief exc, but confrontational. It was a very uncomfortable hour and a half with this manager taking the lead, being quite aggressive and what finished it off for me, she was clock watching for the last 15 mins, that was obvious.

I have now decided to look for another position, there is no point in fighting for recognition or for fairness, as I don't believe that is in the forefront of this charities policy. I have decided that I will go in my own time, when I'm ready and I will go with a bang, letting the board of trustees and the friends of my home know exactly why I'm going, it may do some good for the future.

UK Care Help

2008-02-09T06:46:00.000Z

For those of you who follow my posts here about POI I have started a new site. This site is open to one and all, but has a completely different purpose.

The site can be found here.

The site is aimed at trying to help people who need to find a care home for an elderly relative or friend, and is designed to offer free help and support. The only place I can advertise it is here, but there are no restrictions and as I said it is there for one and all, even if its only to try and get answers to questions.

As questions are raised I shall try to either give the answers or advise where the answers may be found. The site is not there to promote any particular care home or service.

Philosophers on Ice - Update

2007-12-18T06:30:00.004Z

This will now be updated at least weekly. (Last updated 06/05/08)

Late, My Apologies Again

I cannot change what was written here oh so long ago now except to say that POI has exceeded all hopes and expectations. The concerns of those who once actively attacked the site for the ability to monitor and control content and comments, has not been seen, there has never had to be any controls used by either the moderators or by the users of the site itself, and believe me it can get quite heated at times.

We have now risen to 70 members. We have become even more diverse, we have some from China, Turkey, USA, UK, Germany, France, Ireland and Philippines. The different lifestyles are also now much more obvious and yet still the site is pleasant and friendly, even though at times we disagree with what each other have written in blogs especially the God blogs and we have a great discussion going on there, with very differing views. We have authors, Doctors, Scientists, Nurses and Managers among the membership and of course some who are retired or who have the most difficult job of all , parent.

We intend to keep the site invitation only, as new members will have others that they will introduce and will keep the numbers building at a steady rate. People are still able to apply for membership into the site, but this can only be achieved by email and that is:

philonice1@gmail.com

The vibrancy of the site is amazing, it has its quiet times, (which now seem to be decreasing), but the amount of new blogs, pictures video's etc are beating many other better established sites, in terms of postings and it also appears that POI may have set a trend to more reasoned blogging (can I do the, *I told you so.* to the people who have lampooned the site publically?). The blogs are of a very high standard and are extremely diverse, but when they are not of interest, or disagree with views, there still is no personal attacks or abuse, only reasoned debate, or more often than not very amusing comments are left, which sometimes go off subject, but its all done in good humour and nobody seems to mind.

Information

We have a few rules and these are:

1. A blog maybe criticised for its content, its style or for its spelling or comprehension in a non abusive way. The writer of the blog may not come under personal attack.

2. No multiple Identities are acceptable.

3. You may not run down publicly, any other blog site

4. No Advertising for profit

Anyone breaching these four simple rules will be banned.

On POI it is more a social site with blogging, available.

You can load as many pictures into a blog as you want, so far I've loaded 4, each at 2MB.

You can load pictures into a viewer on your page, and have control over who sees the photo's.

You can upload music to your page.

You can customise your page with templates, pictures and music etc.

You can start a Group up for special interests, so far we have Speak Your Mind, Food Glorious Food, The Joke Room and one of our newest members has started a group Photography. Our first photo competition was a complete success with a beautiful picture called Winter Reflections winning, the theme for the February competition is water and already some brilliant photos are being submitted.

We can have a forum where replies can be linked to the comment you want it linked to, not just in order.

You can start a discussion page.

Obviously you can blog.

It has a chat room so you can catch up with friends without having to comment on a blog, (this has proved very popular).

It has its own internal mail system.

and finally you can customise your email alerts, so you only get the email alerts you want.

Please feel free to comment on this blog or any others of mine here, I will only delete them if they are offensive.

The Innkeeper

2007-11-24T10:16:00.000Z

The Innkeeper is a very clever and funny writer you must check out. He runs a hotel in the west country and has many funny tales to tell of his experiences. I have read most of these and have been in stitches, I'm now waiting for his first book to come out, whereupon I shall part with some of my hard earned cash and buy a copy, unless that is I can grab a copy and flee the shop without getting caught, but that is unlikely as I'm now older, slower and fatter. Here is a link to his site on blogger, take a look you won't regret it.

The Dangers of Blogging

2007-11-23T19:17:00.000Z

Blogging is a dangerous game, personally I think you have to be a bit of a masochist to blog.

There are various types of bloggers, but there is one thing in common, you are leaving yourself open to some very doggy people. Think about it. You write a novel or a book of poetry, it gets published and it may get reviewed, by a select few people, where reviewing is their job or profession.

You blog, you publish, and depending on the site you publish to, you get reviewed by countless people, many of whom aren't 'straight down the line' as they would like others to think, where they aren't professional reviewers, and often where personal feelings / insults may take the place of reasoned judgement, but for the 'reviewer' well, they think that this is part of 'reasoned' judgement.

This isn't the case for many bloggers. Many are decent, reasoned people who will give their support and the reasoned judgement or criticism, but a few, many who hide behind one or more identities, use this forum to abuse, which is not reasoned judgement. The odd nasty comment sliped in. Oh they didn't like that you had a different opinion to you about another blog or blogger, so here's my chance, lets put the knife into this person, because they've just posted a blog.

Blogging between three different sites has allowed me great insight into the world of blogging and I now find myself having to decide where each post is most appropriate. For example if I were to post this on the My Telegraph site, I'm more than likely to come into the area where those who feel that this is a direct referece to them, will take it personally and will then feel that their feathers have been ruffled. Then the uncontrollable need for revenge will slip into gear, although this isn't in the forefront of their mind, the need for revenge or get your own back, but in reality that may well be different.

To post on a site that has aspiring writers etc. People who have a creative element to what they do, you are much more likely to get the constructive criticism approach, where the need to be helpful in the most constructive way is priority. These people often do not have an axe to grind or a need, to be nasty, so they are far more likely to have a more balanced approach to reviewing the blog, rather than reviewing the person.

The third site I post to, is blogger. Now this is completely different, there is no ready made audience, and you either have to actively promote yourself, or do what I do, which is to just post. If some one happens to chance upon the blogs great, if they feel that my blogs deserve a comment, even better. Now these people will more often than not leave a positive comment, because they have found you by chance, and have found your blog interesting enough to hold their attention, otherwise they will pass on and read another blog.

So to any people who feel that they are more likely to blog as opposed to write novels or short stories, the best advice I can give you is take great care. Investigate the sites that take your interest, what are people blogging? Are there any hidden adgendas going on through the comments? Do some people seem to revel in being rude or offensive, if you noticed one offensive comment, track the comment this person makes is it 'normal' for them and most importantly do you want them to do this to you?

On most blogging sites you can post pictures usually only one. I rarely if ever post a picture, especially of myself or my family, why? ...... think about it, who can view it. You have no control of who views your picture or your blogs. I never give too much away online, I don't mind giving my email out, because if it gets too bad with spam or insults I can close down the email and get another.....I'm in control.

Always make sure that you have control of your blogs, that you can edit and delete them if things get uncomfortable. Some sites have moderators, but don't rely on these for help, after all what is their adgenda? More advertising for the site as its seen as dynamic? In that case does it matter if there are a few casualties along the way, remember these people have a vested interest, they may be the site owners; therefore a bit conflict could be good. Or they could be employed in another role and are given a moderators job as a second role, but are told to 'back off', let the site develop.

If you decide to blog good luck, there is not much more that one can say.

Masks

2007-11-15T11:48:00.000Z

What makes you what you are?

Are you really the person you'd like to think you are?

Who looks out at you from the mirror each morning?

Are you proud or comfortable with that person?

Reality check

I'd like to think I had the good looks that male (after all I am male) movie stars have (without all the surgery), but thats not who looks out of the mirror at me in the morning.

Yes I have a full head of hair, brown and now with some flecks of grey in, which are far more obvious once I've visited the hairdresser, thats when my kids and wife, bless them, take great pleasure in telling me I'm going grey....Thanks babes.

Where I used to have a nice flat tummy, I now have what I affectionately call my 'one pack', the only downfall about this is that my wife, when she sees it exposed, has to scrape herself up off the floor where she's collapsed with laughter and the kids will come up and pat it and ask me when its due. Its not through lack of trying to get rid of it, well at least cut it down to size. I walk to work everyday, about two - three miles, come rain or shine, but I think the real reason for it suddenly expanding is that I gave up smoking on 23 July this year.

Yes I can remember the date and the time, that my addiction had to stop, and with an embarassed admission, better than I can remember the wedding aniversary, (I've never been good with dates!) The trouble is that my appetite increased, and so did the tummy, but worst of all I really miss smoking, my stress reliever, my comforter, my friends.

OK, I drifted off the point a bit here. So going back to the main point,

Are you who you think you are?

Do people view you how you think you are?

The answer I think for everyone is no.

People always tell me that I'm kind and patient and have a knack of speaking my mind, but in a kind way trying not to demolish people and trying to help anyone who is in distress, or I feel has been unfairly treated. Except my wife who hears me swearing in the kitchen when something goes wrong, or I drop something (even though I say I love cooking), and there are other small pointers that all may not be well with this inside view. Intolerance of others in particular the hatred of abuse of others and as a trainer of what constitutes abuse I can look around me and see abuse everywhere I look.

From the person in street barging past an elderly person or a mother with a young child to 'clever' comments left in full view for others to see, either on desks or worse still on the internet. Snide remarks said just within earshot, and all this with an inability to see the damage that is being done to a fellow human being. These are just the 'light' side of abuse before it gets to the physical or mental or emtional side. On the net it is even worse as many will hide behind an alias, otherwise they would not be brave enough to be so cutting or nasty.

These are the masks we all wear, whether you be male or female, there are the feral amoung us, for whom to deliver abuse is normal and natural, but then ask the question, if I can see this, what may be going on behind closed doors?

So are you, who you would like to think you are?

And are you what you would like others to think you are, or are you wearing a mask for our benefit?
