The Trial (Lee Mills)

Once gain we have our legal system being laughed at, here we have two men  who deliberately drove at and hit Lee mills as he was walking back to his unit lines, after this they got out of the car and butchered the soldier as he lay injured on the ground all but decapitating him, all of this is on video so what is the plea of these two?, why of course NOT GUILTY, just how does that come about?, because everyone is deemed not guilty till proven guilty, so what does this mean? a massive cost to the public purse, and worst of all his mother has had to watch her son die as the video of his death was shown in court today, causing her all that grief once again, normally I would agree that everyone has the right to a fair trial, but I have to say in this case it is so obvious who and how the offence was committed the plea should have been GUILTY, but of course the lawyers need to buy that new boat or plane poor dears, if any of them had the least compassion for Lee Mills family they would have instructed their clients to plead guilty and get it all over with, there can be no defence for these two, for once the need is for us to lock these two up and throw away the key, it only worries me that the judge just might accept an explanation that they committed this murder on religious grounds. the case should finish as soon as possible so that the family can get back home and at least start to recover for the abuse that whole family have suffered, for once lets be honest get this mad trial over as soon as possible,   

Immigration

Immigration ! what an emotive subject in the UK, I see that the European Union think that the proposed changes to the benefits that immigrants can claim means that the UK is a NASTY country, these benefits will not be available to them for three months nor can they claim housing benefit, the government are concerned about the number of possible immigrants that might arrive from Rumania and Bulgaria, and so they  should, the records show that a million Poles arrived when they were able, the overriding problem is that just how many more can we take?, where is the housing?, how will the water companies manage the little water we have remember we have had many hose pipe bans for several years, how will the sewage service manage to cope with more people, and will food become a problem?, I feel that all these problems will appear very shortly, we can't produce all the food that we need now, I brought onions a couple of days ago they were from Egypt, how can all of this carry on?, we just do not need any further immigration time to close the door now not later, later will be far to late just wait and see, our masters live in a very different World to us so have no idea as to the effect of further influx of people will have on the existing population !!!! 

Scotland

Well I have no axe to grind with the Scottish Nation except for the first minister who seems to be unable to see that mistake he is driving these people into, there can't be any assumptions, will we keep our Nuclear subs in Scotland I think not so a massive job loss for a start, RAF bases will they stay?, will they be able to use the £ ?, will they belong to NATO?, the EU?, where will the money come from to support the people when they lose the benefits of belonging to the UK?, I see that the confidence of the YES vote is very strong they are allowing 16 year olds to vote, that has to be the joke of the year, I to be honest could not care less, but if this incessant tirade of the vote keeps appearing on my TV I will be pretty Pi**ed of by this time next year, I live in England it matters not to me what happens to Scotland it is their party I just hope if they leave they do not expect us to support them when it goes arse about face as it surely would do if they are stupid enough to depart from the UK. 

The Middle East

We are off again, suicide bombers on the move, so many armed factions on the go in Libya, Syria very little news, but you can be sure of one thing death and destruction is still going on, I find it quite odd that we can raise £13 million for the Philippines but make no real attempt to help the displaced Syrians, I know that the Philippines was an what can only be called an act of God, but then again it has to be our fault why?, because we are living in a way that promotes Global Warming, over my life time I have heard allsorts of reasons, so just wait it will all come onto our shoulders, remember to switch your TV off standby and everything else in your house or the climate police will be after you for being insensitive to the climate.

All these changes in the climate are they really down to us or might it be other reasons, thinking about the destruction of the rain forests for what? palm oil, that is not acceptable, you just might get two crops before the ground gives up and it useless, so they then move on and destroy more, it is not good but we have to remember these people need to live and the more money they are offered the more they will destroy.
Then we have China and India are using up world resources China importing millions of tons of oar from Australia, and tons of other products from the West, India is it seems the recovery centre for ships, not scrapped in a normal way but in the cheapest way possible and no respect for life, also the recovery of gold from old circuit boards, again children doing this work over open fires, plastic being burnt giving off toxic fumes and again no respect for human life, but again they need to live and many in both countries want big cars and of course fuel to run them, so just how do you stop this destruction of the world?, I have to say I have many questions but unfortunately
I have no answers!! or non that would be of any use.
  

NHS

Just to be sure that the NHS is a political football Andy Burnham has waded into the fray with his idea as to how the NHS should be run, he at least thinks that the changes that have been implemented through Andrew Landsley's bill are a nightmare for the NHS instead of reorganising the health service his bill has all but destroyed it, there is no excuse this bill was thought out to pull the NHS down, the mantra of save, save, save, has all but destroyed the health service as we know it, Mr Landsley for some reason or other left his post this bill was his baby he pushed it through but then vanished and Mr Hunt took over it has to be asked why was this?? why did he go ? I would love to know the real reason, but here we are going down the hill picking up speed just waiting for the crash that is bound to come, we keep being told that the government are all for the NHS but are they really ????, I am sure that they are not, it is just a cash saving game and we will reap the mess that ensues, there is of course one problem there is not one party that gives a jot about the NHS so who ever we might vote in they will be just the same all promises but no action.    

NHS

Now we finally have it, it is the intention of the NHS to have a set number of excellence for A&E throughout the country, local hospittals will only do assessments as to your needs and if it falls outside of your hospitals remit you will be moved to the hospital that is designated for your care, the reason is that A&E is at the moment unsustainable in its present form, there is a different tack to take!, stop the misuse of the service!!, so many people just apearing at A&E because they are concerned about a medical problem, mostly a problem that should be dealt with by their GP, so we need to have a triarge at the hospital not one setting you up to be seen but one where what you are there for is relevent for the department to deal with, the GP's has gotten in to a rut where anything a bit more than they think they are able to deal with they send you to A&E, that is not the answer, these patients need to be treated outside of A&E, accident and emergency is what it means not I have a pain in my arm, leg or tummy that is not in most cases a need  to attend A&E, so any patient attending A&E needs to be seen and if apropriate be sent to their GP or chemist for treatment, this would allow A&E to be more effective and the money wasted on these non patients would benefit the overall budget of the hospital, it is time to stamp the feet of the hospital trusts get real tell these people that this is not the way to get treatment make them understand that their behaviour is not acceptable and they need to get a grip of their understanding as to just what A&E means!!.

The NHS

Now we have the clinical commissioning groups closing medical drop in centres, they say that they can spend the money in better ways, so what will happen to the patients who attend these centres?, those questioned said that would go to A&E, now we all know that the government are trying to alleviate pressures on A&E and that is it seems totally opposite to the CCG's, the reason for setting up CCG's throughout the country was because the Tory party said that the Local GP's new what their patients needed, so now we have the care centres set up by the Labour government to alleviate pressure on the A&E are now being closed by the CCG's Monitor has said that these closures are a massive mistake but will anyone listen on the CCG's not likely, I on speaking to NHS workers I see the major fly in the ointment is these CCG's they are a nightmare and will given time destroy the health service, but possibly there could be a saving grace there is an election next year and just maybe a change of government and hopefully a change back to an effective NHS before it is too late.

RoyalMarine A

Well now there is a thing, the family of Marine A has had to be protected by the police because the authorities are worried that Islamist extremists will maybe attack his family, so here we are who the hell released his name??, were the media aware of his name, this is all because of PC, this trial should never have been held in open court, oh my word say the military we have to be open and above board in this matter, why??, what was the point, it could have been dealt with in camera as I said before there was no need at all to broadcast this case to the World, for what well the government can say look how clean we are, the military can say they have played cricket by the laws, so we are clean, well I have news for them they have put all our troops World wide at risk everywhere they serve, so was this show trial worth it I think not, yes he did commit a crime but in a mad house called war, the death of this man was not known about by the insurgents the way he had died was not obvious to them so what tell them now??, sort the mess out sent Soldier A to prison for a period of time say not more than 5 Years then hopefully his family will stand by him and be there for him on his release, because that is all he will have left when he is released, I have submitted a petition to 10 Downing Street asking for the sentence he is given is no more than 5 years it is awaiting authorisation when it is I will be publishing it on face book.

Royal Marines

 It is very sad that a soldier in the Royal Marines has been found guilty of murder, I do not condone his actions but I feel that a bit of common sense has to be used here, we expect these me to go out day after day placing their lives at risk, what must it be like to be out on patrol and not know where or when you might be attacked, death can be anywhere that you are, will you survive this or any other patrol, your best friend might have been killed (seven were on this detachment), so what frame o0f mind are these men in??, they have one of the enemy in their hands so what do you do?, do you give first aid? do not forget he is the enemy he has been trying to kill you and your mates, so trying to put my self in the frame of mind these men were in I believe that I would not have given a dam  as to what happened to him, as an ex soldier I understand  just what drives these men, and understand the   comradeship that exists, so in the heat of the moment to kill him would be a logical answer to these soldiers, it must be remembered that during world war 1 and 2 soldiers were told not to take prisoners!!, had this been the expectations of the officers of the HQ ??, you do not want prisoners they are more trouble than they are worth, you have to feed them look after them and need to deploy men to guard them, so what was the reality of the situation when they went out?, what were they told?, and what was the mental condition of these men?, yes the Sargent who did actually carry out the killing has been found guilty, that is the end of his career and he will go to prison, but should we not show at least a little mercy to him Life in prison is not an acceptable sentence for him a set 5 years would be better and show that we at least understand why he did it, this court action will now polarise the soldiers they will have to think twice as to what they are doing, at a  time when you need to act without thought, so will this cause the deaths of more of our servicemen?, I think it just might, and finally, it would have been far better if they had held this court action in camera rather than allowing the media splash it all over the world.   

The NHS

It seems that every day things get even worse for the NHS, now we have maternity has come to the for front, it costs the NHS £3700 per birth that to me is a lot of money but what makes it far worse is that £700 is set aside for claims for malpractice, for gods sake just where is this country going to?, why is it that if there might be a fault there is an overwhelming urge to sue all and sundry, people do not make mistakes on purpose they do not sit there and say lets mess this up they are ripped apart when things go wrong, but there is a secondary force at work here free legal advice no win no pay is their mantra, they see nothing but ££ in front of their eyes, they coerce people who are suffering such pain they are at their lowest but no matter these people just cant stop themselves money is king no matter what, death and hurt are just a means to get as much money as they can possibly get out of the public purse, 

NHS

It grieves me to hear our government try to lay all the blame for the NHS ills at the door of the last government, well they should wake up, it is their policy for the new NHS, that's a laugh for a start, they proposed to save money by doing away with the Primary Care Trust's, and bringing in a GP led commissioning group, so just what did happen, the Primary Care Trust goes and its managers some who got a redundancy pay out left but not for long they were re employed on some occasions at the same desk that they sat in before, now on a new salary but under a different flag, so where are all these savings to come from when the same people are now doing the same jobs in the same offices the only thing to change is in fact the name, so there is no real change, the big difference for me is the financial squeeze that is being exerted on the Hospitals country wide, everyone has to remember that medical services today cost the earth they do not come cheap, but we merrily swan along expecting the best service in the world at the cheapest price possible, to save money and invest more in patient care I would get rid of the clinical commissioning groups country wide, get rid of every other tier of health management and have a sole commissioning service for the whole of England, it seems silly to me that each CCG in each area it covers is commissioning the same service for every patient,  I would clear out much more, all we need is one agency not a big conglomerate to sort out the services we need, we could then afford them but while we have a top heavy management it will slowly sink in to oblivion.
