NHS

I am sorry that I am again on about the NHS but Ed Balls this morning on the Andrew Marr show saying that the Labour if elected next year will add £2.5 billion extra into the NHS budget, this he says will mean an extra 22,000 nurses and 8,000 GP's, just where do these people live?, they are not in my world at all, as I have just said the NHS just can't get enough nurses as it is so just where does the Labour party think they will get these staff from? then I have to say my GP Surgery has been trying to replace two GP's who have retired for 9 months and still haven't, as has a second surgery in the area, so I have not the slightest idea as to where they expect to manage to get 8,000 from is beyond me, I have an idea why not pay them a proper salary then possibly we may be able to hold on to the ones we have now rather than they leaving the service as they are doing now.

NHS

I see in the papers today that the NHS is recruiting Nurses from Europe, good you might say and so would I, but as always there is a fly in the ointment, most of the ones they have take on can't speak or read English, so what use is that ?, seems not to matter to the people taking on these nurses, one of my maim things that I promote in the hospital is Patient Safety, just how can patients be safe on a ward where the nurses do not speak English, part of a nurses job is to keep up to date with advances in patient care mostly done by e-learning, so why is it that we have so few nurses coming through that are British, well it is my mind sad to say nursing is a University Degree course yes they learn all about illness but for me the one thing many miss out on is working on the ward, many do not understand the word Care it is not part of the vocabulary of these new nurses coming through, the old SRN has gone as has the SEN, now when you visit a hospital you need an instruction book as to what all the different colour coats/jackets that they wear, blue, pink and all sorts meaning as a patient you do not have the slightest idea as to who you are talking too or of what relevance they are too your treatment!, all in all it is a real pigs ear, it really has to be asked why do we not have a grade of nurse in between a health care assistant and a nurse, some who would be a real asset to the profession are being passed by because they do not have the ability to study at university, but they would cope very well with a college on ward training, with out this sort of openings we are to be lumbered with highly educated nurses who have not the slightest idea as to how to care for some poor old person because they have never been told, so sad!!.  

immigration

Immigration the dirtiest word in the British Language, but at long last some of the benefit claims of immigrants have  been recognised, I struggle to understand all these people on TV consistently telling me just what a big benefit to the country these people are, and they pay more in than the take out, I think that is just silly, many are in this country on their own  sending money out of the country to their families living abroad, nothing wrong with that as such but it means that money earned in this country does not get spent here, I would love some one to explain just how it is that immigrants can claim child benefit when their children are living in a different country that just can't be right, and again how are they able to claim Tax Credits?, I know British people  who have a hell of a job obtaining this help, this has to be sorted out, I keep saying the pressure on our schools and health services are not sustainable, we are an Island there is only so much room and I believe that it is time to put up the Full sign at the door. 

Syria

I had to laugh this morning seeing the news where these two Jihadists had returned to the UK, one with pictures of himself with an AK 47, plus many other pictures regarding the training he received in Syria, then the second one had 5 rounds of AK 47 ammunition in his luggage as souvenir's, they had a great defence "they did not realise that to receive terrorist training in Syria was a criminal offence in the UK" or that's what their lawyer stated in court, it is not surprising that the judge sent them to prison, the police said that they had many more in the pipe line, isn't that worrying?, are these people in the pipe line in custody or are they on bail?, seeing what Liberty has to say on the matter I would think that they are on bail, it is said that there are hundreds of UK citizens fighting in the Middle East, possibly killing, raping and torturing, if they return to the UK where are we going to hold them or will they be free to be at large in the country at liberty to carry on their trade in death, organisations like Liberty & Amnesty act in the defence of people who are being tortured and imprisoned illegally, but they have no right to defend people who have carried out the exact terrorists criminal activities that they so argue against in countries round the World but for some reason accept these killers back to the UK with open arms more concerned by their human rights rather than the human rights of the people who these people have offended against!!. 

Ebola

We have a major problem in this country regarding staffing of the NHS, we have not got enough nurses to staff our hospitals, in some cases this can be seen as at dangerous levels, we are importing nurses from anywhere we can get them from, so what do we now do? why send 1000 nurses to work on the Ebola problem in Africa, now I am desperately sorry for these people they do not deserve such an illness inflicted on them, but who else is helping?, Royal Engineers have been out there building hospital buildings,  the Army Medical Corps have sent staff to help, we have a charity pop record raising funds, people volunteering to go and help, just how much more are we as a Nation expected to give, I really, really hope that no senior person suffers over this commitment, we are coming to the middle of winter and we all know just how many elderly patients die over the winter period, so I hope that this depletion of staff  does not cause unnecessary deaths to our people, we have to draw a lie somewhere in the sand it might be time to do that now rather than later.  

UKIP

So another seat won by UKIP, must be a lot of racists living in the area, I heard a certain shadow minister last night liken them to the BNP, it is really sad that under no circumstances do these leaders of this country have the slightest idea as to what the population thinks and feels about life in England today, we have to thank the Labour party  for their open door policy for immigration they now suggest that there needs to be an immigration policy for the UK to restrict entry, so in my mind that admission  by both parties means that UKIP have been  right on immigration all along, when they think they are about to loose the trough that their noses are in they always reply with a vitriolic attack on the enemy, this country has very many educated people who fully understand just what is happening in the cities, they see with their eyes just what is going on, they have made an intelligent well informed decision as to just what is happening, this view is an honest view it is in no way racist in any way, but the MP's just think we are a bunch of idiots who do not have the slightest idea as to what governing the UK entails, well many of us do, many research what is happening they understand the silly games that the elite (allegedly) play, if you start at the beginning and do  not believe a word that they say to you, you  just might understand the deviousness of these people who rule us!!.  

NHS

I see that A&E units all over the country are being overwhelmed by silly people attending with what I can only call  silly problems, Accident & Emergency is literally just what it means, if you are not seriously ill been involved in a life threatening accident you do not need to attend A&E, a drop in centre or a minor injuries department is for you, please do not waste needed resource's at the hospital!!, you have a GP or of course 111 for advice, it is simple really, we have to be educated regarding A&E, I have been there in an emergency to see the place packed with people who without a doubt did not need to be there, and worse they get really stroppy with the staff when they are told that they do not need to be there, I think that it is time to charge for attendances at A&E if treatment is not required and you have effectively wasted the staffs time, but of course these same people who waste time will be up in arms if anyone should make them pay, we have a free service so lets keep it free for as long  as  we can, and these unthinking people who cause massive delays in A&E services should be educated and made to pay for their total disregard for the waste of money they are to us the tax payers.

Jihadist

Jihadists, well what did I say, we are looking to implement laws that can take these peoples passports away from them so they can't re enter the UK after fighting in the middle east, or confiscate it before they can travel to these places of war, I feel that it is acceptable to make them stateless and stuck away from the UK for possibly some time, it has to be remembered that these people have willingly gone to a fight in an aggressive war, imposing religious law on people who just want peace and some form of democracy, yes Assad is a dictator and needs to be deposed but that is not the responsibility of these people, it is not their fight, they have no time for democracy in fact they are a dictatorship of outlandish proportions, so you leave the UK, you join in a war that has nothing to do with you, you kill, maim and rape then the cheek of old nick you expect to return to the UK as if nothing has happened, and to make me ashamed on my country, Liberty are worried for these people as we are taking their human rights away, when will Liberty learn!!!!, these people have no human rights they left them in the UK when they decided to commit atrocities in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, where do the human rights of the dead civilians come into this equation??, people who commit atrocities in a war zone are liable to be tried by an international court, do not tell me I should worry about the human rights of these misguided people, they are and have committed the most hideous crimes and why should we let them back into the UK?, if Liberty and other agencies think that they should defend these people then I believe they should think again the people in this country have no interest in criminals such as these, they do not belong here and I would say as many others good riddance!!.     

Syria

It seems that the News has done a full circle, they seem to have had enough of IS the Ukraine (even though there is a build up of Russian Troops on the boarder if not inside Ukraine),  and many other conflicts, but now Syria once again it raises its ugly head, where has the original peoples army fighting for democracy in Syria gone?, they have gone into exile having lost everything that they owned, the fighting now is just by Jjihadist groups not only trying to fight the regime but worst of all amongst themselves these people have n interest in democracy at all, they will install religious law on these Syrian people, life must just be awful, one time you have a dictatorship then through no fault of your own you will be subjected to religious law, but these Jjihadist winning is a non event they will never beat Assad, he is no fool, he has been a dictator for too long to be beaten by these silly people, so what happens now?, more and more death and destruction to the people, neither side cares a jot for the population, neither their property or belongings, but the worst thing is that these mad men on both sides have no respect for life, men, women and children are fair game to them death matters not to them, the World has to be for once active in seeking justice for the people, the fighters of both sides need to be charged with war crimes but we all know they can kill with impunity because the World does not care in the least the attitude being as it does not affect me who cares!!, so sad!!.

Government

I am getting really tired of listening to the Labour party's rhetoric regarding UKIP, just listened to the leader saying that he understands the voting public, does he? I think that he is in a different world to me, I have to say UKIP are saying what I feel, Labour does not have the slightest idea as to what the general public are saying nor thinking!, that is true though of all the parties, they say they know but they don't, they all think we are stupid,  that is what comes from a private public school education,  they are told they are superior to us are they?,, they have no idea as to what is really going on, they do not see the queue outside the off  licence as soon as in opens in the morning collecting all sorts of alcohol, these are people of eastern European extraction, tell them that it is too early at 7am on a Sunday and you chance that all hell will break loose in your shop their main attack is violent verbal confrontation, it is quite fraught to watch, we have a brick wall opposite our home and have to endure these people urinating up this wall at all times of the day, it is extremely offensive even to me, reports to the police get no attention at all they have so many other problems to cope with this it seems a very low priority, I have been insulted by them in broken English, have had to endure language that I just can't understand and to be honest it is very intimidating, so where do us the people see the benefit of immigration??, we don't it matters not how hard they work some just refuse to behave in a proper manner in this country, will not obey the rules and the most upsetting for me is that they show no respect to me, my family,  females in general and the law, if some of these people in government had to live in the middle of all this crap going on they just might begin to understand just how difficult living in England is today, but of course they never will understand!!, so if UKIP says the right thing is it not surprising that they are getting on the crest of a wave?, things have changed I think British government has changed I really hope for the better!!. 

Immigration

Immigration, so all the promises we have been given about the reduction of immigration from Europe to the UK can not be capped, we are not allowed to say how many people we allow in, would someone please tell me the benefit of the 30% of foreign people who are serving  prison time in UK jails??, the police say that in London they just can't cope with the influx, the health service is suffering just as is education and just about all our other services, 
Then the European ministers have stood together and stated that the right to move from country to country is  a freedom where there is just no possibility of change, and whatever we are told the £1.7 billion we have to pay to the EU is they say non negotiable the French have very kindly offered us a delay from December this year till September 2015, what kindness, all these European polotitans telling the government that we should not leave the EU, they seem to forget that it is not up to the government the people will decide it is us they should be talking to us they should be asking to think again, I feel that as I am totally ignored by these buffoons running the EU, they should be very careful telling people not to do it often it has the opposite effect, they should be warned!!. 

Immigration

Immigration, so we are up the creek without a paddle, Germany has come out against any limiting of European immigrants, they say that Free movement of people is paramount to the population of Europe, unfortunately not to many want to go to Germany as most of them suffered under occupation during the war, many still have a deep seated hatred over the suffering they endured, so in my mind it is not for Germany nor the European Union to tell us just how many we have to have, we are an island nation  we only have enough room for a natural population, I listen to the need for more and more housing well where will all the houses all be built??, brown field is the first step next will have to be the green belt, when a number of new houses being talked about is 70,000, it has to be remembered, all houses will need water, electricity (remember we are talking about a service that is talking about blackouts soon), gas and of course sewage, just think if we are talking about 250,000 houses what will happen if this level of new houses are built, all in all we do not have the ability to take more immigrants to this country a line has to be drawn somewhere in the sand sooner than later, yes there might be people who would benefit this country so we should have a system that takes this into account, also we need to revise our welfare benefits that can be claimed by people coming into this country, this would stop the Eldorado look of the UK, then  looking round at the people trafficking prostitution and benefit fraud the cost to the public purse is enormous money that could be well spent on other much needed services in this country of ours!!. 

October 31st

I have lived in England for 68 years, but I have only just realised how ignorant kids can be, I have a poster on the front door supplied by the Police asking that our privacy be accepted and not to knock on the door trick or treating, at 9.30pm I thought that we had been left alone, but no idiots just have to not knock on the door but to bang on it for a good 5 mins, I have to be honest trick or treat has never been in my life, if you had done this sort of thing when I was young you would have been arrested, I am not at all against children enjoying themselves and doing this non British event after all it is from the USA why we have to follow I have no idea, then we come to a hate of mine, fireworks, it amazes me that the ordinary person on the street can buy explosive objects and let them off as and when they like, everywhere it seems they are sold at 50% off and that is at the start of what might be called the firework weeks yes weeks not days, keep your pet in on the 5th of November and the three weeks before and at least two weeks after the event, I served in the armed forces as an engineer working with explosives, the first lesson taught to me take extreme care when handling them, here we have young people and in some cases adults lighting them in the hand and then throwing them!! total madness, year on year it carries on people injured in this way, really a self inflicted injury but we all have to pay for the stupidity of the few, but nothing ever gets done to stop this mayhem, I believe that fireworks are for professional experts at arranged events certainly a good display at no real danger to you got to be worth it!!.
