Syria

Big news a the beginning of the week, now it is very quite!!, is that good news? or not?, so where are we at the moment again, millions of refugees surrounding Syria, they are in desperate need of  help, now we have all sorts of agency's jumping up and down about these poor people, but what are they saying?, the most stupid idea as to what is best for these people, bring a very few hundred people out of millions to the UK, how will these people be selected (sounds like a Nazi train arrival), will they have to speak English?, will they have to have a trade?, lets stick to reality, these are Syrian people who want to live in Syria not in Europe, the children need to be taught in their own language back in their own towns in their own country, I have no axe to grind with these poor refugees, I just think that rather than ripping them away from everything that they know and understand, it is far better that they stay close to their own country and go home quickly as soon as this stupidity is over, the World should provide support for them the money or other support should be all administered through the UN under no circumstances should any financial support be given to governments in the region as without a doubt they can't be trusted.

Syria

So the Syrian government are defending  their people from the insurgents, must be a good  joke in Syria, they know that they are under attack from all sides including the army, how can yo say you are defending the people when you are actually killing as many as you can, will not allow medical aid in nor any type of aid at all, there is one big problem in all of this and that is Assad is surrounded by creeps, some are family members who tell him how well it is all going and that the people love him, consequently he believes all of this so will not step down, this is going to go on and on, more civilians  will have to die,and of course the children will suffer beyond belief, the talks that are happening can only be seen as a comedy act, even if they managed to get a deal!!! fat chance really, we would then have the Islamic groups fighting to set up an Islamic state, what happens if they win?, for one thing it will not be a democracy!!!, the one thing you can be sure of about  these Islamic groups like the Brotherhood is that they do not believe in Democracy, will never allow freedom of speech, women and girls will be treated as second class people, not allowed education have to totally cover up  and so many other rules that put them down, this whole thing is a nightmare, the Syrian people are having to bear this abuse, it is time for this to end, but it will go on month after month, year after year, some one needs to stop supplying the weapons and ammunition then how could they fight and kill so many????>

Syria Again

I have hoped for so many months for this war to stop to no avail, now we have this meeting of the people involved (except the insurgents that Iran have in the country), so the government of Syria is waving fingers arguing with other members of the committee, the government has no right to express a view at this meeting, they have consistently committed abuse of the population, I see that a chap who had to photograph all the abuses for the government brought 55,000 photos of this abuse or should I say Torture?, they have been assessed by may eminent people and are judged to be honest, so why can they sit and throw abuse at people attending this meeting, meanwhile in Syria the insurgents from Iran (who wish to establish an Islamic state) carry on the killing, it means little to them as to who is who they just kill indiscriminately, The end is not insight, so what does that actually mean?, more and more will be killed, more and more will become refugees, so where will these people go?,   the Lebanon is about full with all they can manage, Iraq is still having problems so where? well there is no where for them to go, they have no money so are unable to buy food or find accommodation, they need aid and aid quickly sent, the children are the future of Syria but they are not being educated so will they be a lost generation, and finally the weather, snow, children in summer clothes, no shoes, would we in the West allow that?, no we would not so why are the Western governments sitting on their hands and not helping these Refugees?, its not our business, but it is the well being of the population in countries such as Syria is the responsibility of all countries in the world, I do not include the UK in that statement  as we as people continually raise massive funds for many and in fact all sorts of tragedies it is time for other people in Europe to dig deep and help, but I would think not a chance, a real shame.

Gas & Electric

I see tonight on the TV that gas and electric are being stolen as a matter of course, many migrants are involved in this theft, one they showed was a fish and chip shop who had illegally used over £7,000 of gas, but that was only from British Gas who knows what he had off other power companies but he could only be charged for the gas that he had stolen over a three month period, they showed you how they saw off the teeth on the cog that shows how much gas you have used, so only showing a 1/4 of what you have actually used, the blue tags that show that the meter has not been messed about with can be brought on the internet and you can find out how to fix your meter with so many ways including mobile phones that can in fact turn your meter backwards, then they also use magnets, the fish and chip shop was run by Chinese people, the big problem with messing about with gas meters is that it can explode and cause untold damage to  your house and possibly neighbours houses as well, us who pay our dues are paying £30 a year because of these crooks, it is a nightmare, we have migrants aggressively begging on the streets of London and some other cities, gangs shop lifting all over the country, drug farms, brothels, people trafficking, and just for a finish grooming  young girls, just how much more do we have to take before the PC brigade realise just what is going on in this country??.

Migrants

I read in the papers to day that the government are about to stop benefit to migrants who can't speak English, in my mind and many others that I know agree with this but of course the Liberals are totally against it what a surprise?, you really have to laugh don't you, here we have a British party who always jump to the defence of migrants but could not care less about our own disabled benefit claimants, who they fail to support every time, I would put money on the fact that if benefit was removed from these people who for their lack of support of this country and to be honest some have been in conflicts against British soldiers, they seem to be able to leave this country be involved in conflicts and then return back to Britain, how can this happen?, it stinks of political correctness to me, the thing that I really dislike is the fact that PC has replaced Common Sense no one in power seem to have any at all, a real shame because when we had it we seemed to get along fine, the sad point is that PC rules and common sense has been chucked in the bin!!!!, so should these people receive benefits in Britain my answer is not a chance. 

Airport Arrests

I see that the police or security services have arrested 3 people heading for or returning from Terrorist training, it is not really terrorist in the way that we might mean, I believe that they are going or returning from military training, i.e. how to handle weapons, use explosives and tactical learning, that has nothing in my mind to do with terrorism, it is just military training, so where are we with this, it has to be asked where are they intending to use these new skills that they have acquired?, and for who's army?, the finger of intention has to be Syria, the mad house that is exploding all over the middle East, what do these weak minded people think that they are doing?, just what do they think will happen if they join the fight?, do they expect to be able to return to the UK when they have had enough or when it all ends in Syria?, we as a country should refuse them entry and send them back to the country that they left, why should we allow them back?, I do not care what they think and what their religious objectives are, I do not want to know, the fighting in Syria is between so many factions that it is all most impossible to stop, all the people involved are deeply religious, it must be difficult when they pray to their God asking for  help to win, every one else involved is praying to the same God, the winners will think that it is their GOD the losers will think that their God has let them down, but they are all praying to the same God so he just can't win in this situation.

So as I have said if these people return from the Middle East they should not be allowed to enter the country, and if by chance they manage to get in their benefit that the just might claim should stop, and when these people are known to have left the country all benefits to their family should be removed, see how they like that!!.

Money

I see that the chancellor is having a little change of mind and is allowing a cost of living rise to the minimum wage, industry and many employers are saying that they will go bankrupt because of this rise, not to worry though as the bosses will always come out on top of the pile, they all employ accountants who of course do everything possible to evade tax, it is a game that they play every year, the minimum wage needs to rise to give these low paid  workers at least a chance of a life, not much of one though, just how are these people expected to survive on this wage, the problem is that the Unions, Bosses & Government have not the slightest understanding of just how people live in this country, it is amazing that over the past year you could shop in Aldi it was always fairly quiet but now it is packed, I used to go at 8am used to be lovely get round and off home now it is a mad house,what you might call posh people are in there now they would never have been seen there a few months ago now they can't get enough of the place, but of course us poor new about this some time ago, says a lot for where we are at in this recession not as good as the government might think,

Glasses

I have to wear glasses, and I have one since a very young boy, so I have paid an arm and a leg every time I go for an eye test, so I am here once again just had my eyes tested, new glasses needed as  my eyes are getting worse, so after discounts £153, now maybe that is not to bad if you are on a wage where you can do some overtime to be able to buy them, but as a pensioner I am not able to do that so for some reason it always comes as a surprise to me that I need new ones,  for the past four years I  have brought the same frames, so I now have four pairs, and I have just ordered a set of prescription sun glasses as I am having problems with bright white items walls, doors that sort of thing, so it seemed logical that I should by a pair mainly because there was a 50%  discount,  as I came home I realised I will now have five sets of frames that are all the same all in good condition just the lenses are no good, well in the last three pairs, why is it that you are unable to re-use perfectly good frames?, why is this?, why do I have to pay a starting cost of £85 every time I sit down in the opticians?, I asked the last time about the many frames that I have I was told to donate them to the third world, that is really not the answer I was looking for!!!, I understand that the third world need sets of glasses I am not surprised that they need them as they with out a doubt would never be able to afford to buy a set with the prices that we are charged in this country, I really find it a rip off, and to finish off you have to pay up front and have to wait 14 days to get them a bit of a joke as far as service goes, I will have to try and remember this year to add this cost to the Christmas Present bill this year. 

Benefit

I have been watching closely some of our MP's back pedalling from all these cuts to the benefit system, many are starting to realise many of these poor people will actually VOTE, that must have made some of them jump!!, you can't keep cutting and cutting in the same place it just can't be done, yes chase the rip off merchants, the evil ones who just con the system left right and centre, these people are scum and deserve to be given a hard time, but your ordinary person on the street has no idea as to how to work the system they just get what is allowed for their personal needs, decided by some white hall mandarin who has never in his/her life ever suffered on the street, for them the club and tennis or golf at the weekend, kids at private school, life is great for them, will obtain a OBE/MBE at the end of their service many be even a Knighthood or even a Peerage, just what does a person of this stature understand as to how people live where they can't even afford for the whole family to go to the pictures once a month, yes some do have a big TV that is the only entertainment that they have in life, so do not go on about it, think a little more about just how some people have to live not choose to!! have to!!, if you are one of the hard working people I keep hearing about who are so critical about the unemployed you should always remember unemployment just might be heading your way you might just be next in line, then will you be so clever, will you all of a sudden change your mind I bet you would so think again do not put all these people down some are just like you but just happened to loose their job, they want to work but there is none! so it would be far better to get off their backs and help them to get employment rather than banging on that they are a drain on society.  

pensioners

Watching question time last night there were some very good ideas from the floor rather than the experts (I use that term loosely), one person pointed out that we are sending Aid to India, Brazil and would you believe Argentina, should we be sending this aid to countries that are financially somewhat better off than us, then there was the TAX scam!!, the fact that £95 billion is being lost by tax evasion by big  business, who are using the tax rules to escape paying it, meaning that the poor are picking up the bill for this rip off.

Today's Mail has headlines regarding some of the massive payment to benefit claimants, well who and where are these claimants and more to the point why has it been allowed anyway??, I would think that the housing payment are for London, why is it that some are allowed to claim massive amounts of housing benefit, the government has a fixed cap on housing benefit so what has happened in London??,  we have to get off the backs of the people who need our help most, do we really want to see the most needy on the streets?, I see some landlords are evicting residents who are on benefit to then let them out to migrants, just how is that?, well of course the government  has introduced that cap and also the bed room tax , is that the way to recover money?, not for me if people need help they should get it.   

Benefit Claims

I find it quite upsetting to see that there are some people in this City who will direct immigrants on just how to claim benefit, and they charge to show you how to do it, is this what this country has come too??, we have migrants showing migrants how to get benefit out of this country,   can we afford it no we Bl**DY well can't, the chancellor is about to remove housing benefit from 18 to 25's but a migrant will be given it, with migrants in London receiving housing benefit of up to £80,000 per year, but we can't help our own!!, I understand that migrants who have children in their own country of origin are allowed to claim child benefit for the children left at home, how can this be??, anyway why should they receive child benefit anyway?, it is reciprocal so I am told so we have at least 1.5 million from Poland alone just how many Brits have migrated to Poland??, not very many I would say, I believe that the public purse is leaking like mad and non of the people at the top  have the slightest idea as to how to stop it, if  we stop migration from Europe and the World except for trades that we need, as they do in Australia might just be a start, we cant keep bleeding our poor to balance the books, we have to look at other ways to do it before this island is overwhelmed with people that we cant support.

Groming of Girls

The Old Bailey, these Peterborough people well migrant people who think it is OK to groom girls for sexual abuse in this city should in all honesty be sent to prison for Life as some are so young and are such a threat to young girls the tariff should be a very long time, to much of this is going on in this country am I missing something here or is it migrants who are committing this type of crime, they would not commit such crimes against their own female children, young girls in care lack one essential in life the love parents, so on the street they are easy for these sick  men who believe that it is acceptable to commit this sort of sexual abuse, I just wonder what there parents or wives think about this behaviour, but no doubt as usual the answer will be that these are good people they would never do such a thing, but of course they did and given the chance they would do it again, this type of depraved man should be made fully aware that we are not going to accept this behaviour and the only way is by a very long prison sentence with no parole, then these men who are free and committing this crime might just realise the reality of their crime and stop.
