China

What was the Chinese president doing in this country?, other than allegedly spending £3 billion, no  reason other than trying to get his and his country's  status in the world upgraded, for me it failed miserably, I saw all the supporters in their red t shirts but wait a moment the press found a big box of these t shirts that had been brought in by diplomatic bag, now if we tried such  thing in China just think of the stink that it would cause, He said China was like the UK but we all know that is not true at all, the population walk the land with no human rights, life is not worth a penny, you can be denounced be declared Guilty and summarily executed, no appeal in fact no defence at all, piled on a lorry with many more to a deserted spot to be shot, often your family have no idea as to what has happened to you, women who were pregnant for a second time were told to attend a clinic to have an abortion if you did not attend you were dragged to the clinic and forced to have the abortion, then we have the fact that they want to build a Nuclear Power station for EDF and the government, why would  they do this?, because the government will be paying twice the going rate for  the energy produced, and just guess who will pay in the end?????, So are we really like China no not at all, we are civilised allow freedom of speech and movement not so in China, personally I want nothing to do with them, they should go away and start  to think that a dictatorship is not acceptable, that is, if you want to be associated with the UK, otherwise go away and do not insult us!!!!!.

   

Tax Credit

What the hell is going on??, clever government I don't think, they tried to get the bill through the House of  Lords really by the back door, so the chancellor got just what he deserved a slap in the face, so what is the answer?, blame the upper house for their faults seems to be their only answer,  but I have to ask how can you cut to save £4 billion and no one suffer, the least well off would be likely to loose £1200 per year, how does the government suppose that these people will manage to survive, I keep hearing from the conservatives how they look after Hard Working people, so does that mean that people on lower wages do not work hard??, we are beginning to get very close to many services having to be cut beyond belief, yes we have to live within our income but we cant cut just for the sake of cutting, it is annoying that a senior government minister does not think before he acts, the treasury officers might think that this is a good idea, hit the poor once again but its not, many on tax credits are the lowest paid hard working people and savings should be looked for elsewhere.

Comando

It makes me sick to think that a soldier has been convicted of murder and has life imprisonment, this was a man who was in a life threatening situation, saw friends killed, body parts of his mates hanging from trees, what sort of mind would you be in??, would  you be kind and understanding to the enemy?, or would you go after them with blood in your eyes, having probably never seen the enemy and the fact that you just might die at any moment you react irrationally, there is no way you can be blamed for you actions in the middle of enemy attack, his job was to protect his men, so he shot a Taliban fighter who was in fact all but dead, that does not mean that killing is acceptable but the circumstances have to be understood and some help to him to recover, so what does the navy do why of course charge him with murder, the panel who convicted him were never told that manslaughter was a possibility just Murder, the soldier admitted that he did shoot the man so what chance had he?, to make things worse for him he was given an inadequate defence lawyer, how can this be justice, he has served the time he would have received for manslaughter so shouldn't the military get off their high horse and give this soldier at least some respect, he in the past had done more than hi share of fighting in the middle east, in times of acute stress soldiers react in often unexpected ways, when your mates are killed in front of you how do the people of this country think what might happen?, retribution comes to mind knowing what they will do to you if caught you will not react in a positive way, I believe that rage comes into the mind and this is your chance to rid you of one of your enemies so we have to understand the circumstances of this and release this man into his family to hope that he manages to return to a normal life, but how difficult will that be????    

Syria

It is amazing that the little man of Russia has entertained the dictator Assad of Syria in Moscow, just what evil plan is he hatching now, you can be sure that it will wind up the West, the Russians are behaving just as they did in the Ukraine go in to some one else's country for one reason only that is     to keep Assad in power, and kill anyone who opposes him, Assad is really safe now he has Russian help and will do everything to kill of the free Syrian army, who are after all fighting for democracy, a word very little heard of in Syria and even less in Russia, the little man seems to be taking great delight in watching the West Squirm and knows no one will do a thing about it, how can a world leader behave in such a way but there he is king of the roost.

So more and more people will leave Syria, the world will not cope with the rush, the Greek Islands are over run with refugees they are busting at the seams, who is going to feed, house, educate, give them medical care, the answer as sad as it is it just can't be done, the weather is again changing for the worse, snow and heavy rain, ideal for illness, out in the open cold, hungry no where to go, I bet the people traffickers don't tell them that when they extort money from them, a bad situation only to get worse!!!!.

Syria

It is so sad to see so many people moving across Europe, well only a little way across as governments have closed their boarders, it is all well and good saying we have to do something about it but how can we be expected to do what in reality??, we can only offer tents clothing and food but how can we take more people into this country as it is?, we have many people out of work, good working people now from the steel industry, and many more, and all of a sudden everyone seems to have forgotten the housing problem we have in the UK, we do not have anywhere enough available homes for the people we have now let alon having thousands more, just look at our schools, many are becoming totally overwhelmed, the NHS is at breaking point, but we still have people jumping up and down saying bring more in, then there is the church trying to bludgeon the government to accept more, I would support them if they were going to financially look after these people, provide accommodation, but of course Bishops who signed up to this would not accept any refugees in their Bishops Palace's, so maybe it would be better if they kept their mouths shut, we are not the only people in this wide world, what about, Russia, Australia, Canada the USA? lots of land can't they take some, but the problem has to be sorted at source, the people smugglers are the problem but they work with impunity isn't it possible for governments to sort this out?, if not why not, the winter is on its way snow is falling and these people are in the open no food or water, can I ask where is the Red Cross, Oxfam and all the others who beg money from us to help the people of the world, we have always supported hardship and donated millions so it is time to spend some of it, if we can't take them at least we can send aid, it has to be remembered the children are always to ones to suffer.

 

Iraq

Well finally it has come out about the collusion between Blair and Bush, from of all places Hillary Clintons emails obtained by freedom of information, just how anyone let out these damming emails is beyond me, Colin Powel was checking out Blair for some time and  showed that he had every intention of going to war with Iraq, weapons of mass destruction was just bull Sh**, no more no less, this cost the armed services hundreds of lives for what to boost two ego's it seems, that  must make the surviving families feel so good I don't think!!, I am disgusted that our leaders could behave in such a manner then do everything to cover it up, and still say it did not happen!!, still I suppose that the PM should have the right to tell us untruths after all how many of us have the intelligence to understand what is happening in the world, we are considered to stupid to be able to make an informed decision, after all we have not been educated at public school. I just hope that all the government ministers involved in this are taken to task but of course they will find that excuse and escape retribution, I believe that these two are at least guilty of war crimes by going to war without any just cause!!, but I wont hold my breath.         

Syria

Now we have more people leaving the middle east, thousands of them, countries closing their boarders because they just can't deal with the massive throng, where will they all go??, Germany has shut its doors as they are overwhelmed, but it was partly if not totally the actions of the German government because they said that they would offer refugee status to all Syrian people who arrived in Germany, now the lady has had to change her mind very quickly as her popularity started to fall, Germans now realise just what a mess they have caused in Europe, worst of all is that Turkey who we need to help is demanding to be allowed to join the European Community, they have Germany over a barrel, demanding 3 billion Euros as their price for them to assist, but how can we possibly allow such a country to join in Europe, they have no human rights at all, the people are oppressed and live a life of never knowing if they might be arrested and imprisoned with no trial, one suggestion is that they Turks be allowed to travel throughout Europe on a freedom of travel ID card, we would not be involved in this but how much of a risk is this to us?, and what if they are admitted to Europe?, then we would have an additional 25 million or more people who could legally move to the UK, still we have a lot of silly people about who would be up in arms if we were to block this  crowing about human rights, and saying that house holders in the UK should offer accommodation to a family, that has failed completely in Germany, the people have reached the end of their tether and a rebelling against the government. Has anyone noticed just how many single men are moving? having left their wife's and children behind in a war torn country, if you have a family it is your job to protect them not clear off saying you will have them follow you later on, are they mad?, no one wants them so just how would you send for yor family? when you have nowhere to live and support them, some how Europe has to stop this flow and to cut off the people who offer to get these people into Europe for a price it is said that they make £1.5 million a week in this trade, you have to cut the source at the beginning, but I fear it is far to late now!!!!.

The NHS

I see once again that a whistle-blower of the NHS finds that his old trust he was employed by have released his name to try and belittle his statements, how can that possibly be, how can a trust be allowed to vilify this man because he saw fit to speak up about patient safety in his hospital, so two of his colleagues were prescribing cancer treatments that were not needed at all, this could have put the patients at risk, I would have thought it did put them at risk, but why should the trust care, not to worry them till of course something goes wrong then its every one else's fault, so how is it that they know but do nothing? then take exception to a doctor who actually cares about patients safety, it seems that the trust boards have no respect for patient safety, the government has to step in and stop this mockery of patient care and safety, I have written to my MP about this and I hope some of you will to, be worried about patient safety it is top of my list.

Civil Aircraft Shot Down Over the Ukraine

I was watching the report on the air liner that was shot down over the Ukraine last year, it was shot down by a Russian Ground to air missile blowing up the front of the  cockpit killing the pilots immediately, three sets of people could have and for certain one did shot it down, the government of the Ukraine, I personally find this unlikely, the separatists  by Russia a good possibility, then the  Russian army, they are more likely to have committed this act, but the one thing for sure is that all we are ever going to know is that some one did it, but they do not have the courage of their convictions and have a big stone to hide under never to come out again.
 

The NHS

I see that the NHS has a black hole in its accounts of 930 Million plus, but still the chancellor persists with the mad idea that it can afford to offer a 7 day a week service, financially it is impossible and I find it difficult to accept that a man holding such a high rank of state as Chancellor  is not capable of doing the maths to work this out, not only that but the Ministry of Health is just as blind, so two ministers of state who do not have the slightest idea as to how this total mess is sorted out, that is if it can be, I am not in myself very optimistic at all, I remember that a certain MP submitted his paper on how to upgrade the NHS, I have to laugh as when it went through parliament he was removed from the health ministry, so not about to explain why he got it so wrong, he is still about but does not take responsibility for the cock up he has caused with our health.
Can we go on having a free service?, if not why not?, why do we spend so much money on overseas aid?, the cost of bombing in Syria and the air support we are involved in, we need to keep our military and not use them on conflicts that are nothing to do with us, we pay a fortune to the EU every month and get nothing near the amount back so why would we stay in, we as a country we need to start to look after our own people and stop trying to police the world, then maybe we would have enough money to keep the NHS solvent. 

The Middle East

How can Europe and NATO sit back and allow Russia to do just as she pleases in Syria, they are not there as they say to hit IS but to eradicate opposition forces against Assad, Assad has managed to destroy Syria bit by bit with no care to life be it young or old, male, female, of whatever nationality or Religion, no matter what they will die, now not only has he carried on with this carnage with a free hand he now has support of the Little Man of  Russia!, a man who has a fixation with telling the world one thing then doing exactly the opposite, how can a world leader get away with blatant lying about his actions to the world, one of his planes managed to invade Turkish air space, he says a mistake, Turkey says it was deliberate, I believe Turkey they have no reason to say that the venture by Russia in to their air space was anything other than deliberate.
One thing for sure is that if this niggling carries on sooner or later there will be a major incident, where Russia will again make a point of  gaining the high ground and blaming everyone else rather than itself, this is a dangerous situation, here we have a mad man running a very powerful Nation with  no need to worry about the west because he is well aware that they are all frightened to death by him and will do nothing at all to stop him, this can't carry on he needs to be  reined in before it is to late or is it to late already????.

The NHS

I keep seeing the government saying that a patient can see their doctor 8am till 8pm seven days a week !!!, that is an impossibility, no young just qualified doctor is going to sign a contract that says this, some people say that a GP has it all to easy!, I know mine works very hard is always understanding and is accessible, unless you a seriously ill why would you need to see your doctor on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon?, some say they are at work, but then I have to ask why do you expect your doctor to bend his working week to accommodate you, would it not be better that you select a GP that suits your needs rather than expect GP's to have to change their working week to suit you!!, reality says that we have a massive shortage of GP's young doctors do not want to do such a job,  I know of surgeries that are short of one if not more GP's with no hope of replacing the vacancy,  many are under so much pressure that they are retiring early to escape the system, and  I for one do not blame them at all, so in reality a shortage of doctors is a reality so how can they increase the work load on the ones that are left, to make things worse those that are close to retiring might just go even earlier then what??. I also notice that at one point it was thrown about that we should pay £10 a visit, well now some bright spark is suggesting  £30 a visit, the world has gone mad!!!.

The UK

I have to ask just what the demonstrators in Manchester really want, yes the NHS still needs more money but much can be saved by stopping fraud, it is surprising that many managers in the NHS have no clinical qualifications at all, so if you have a CEO who is clinical trained he/she does not have a hope in hell running the hospital, it has often been said to me that the staff working in a hospital resemble an upturned triangle, the clinical staff are out numbered by admin staff, why do we need so many admin staff?, I understand we need some, but so many it makes you spin, if you look  at the staffing requirements of a hospital, not counting the clinical departments there are many, many Business departments each having a compliment of staff, and of course a manager, it makes no sense at all, it is all well and good having targets for the hospital to meet, so when they don't meet  the set target the hospital unit becomes involved in trying to get back to the target, meaning other things go by the board, that is not acceptable situation to place hospitals in, not very often do you hear good things about a hospital and when you do the media loves it when they unintentionally fall below their usual standard the hospital and staff are pilloried and hung out to dry, who in their right mind would get involved in this mad house?, not me. 

So yes support the NHS but look at it in a manner that looks at the whole situation not just argue about pay levels, be realistic we need the NHS we do not need UNIONS to destroy it!!. 

Syria

I hate to go  about this conflict but I feel the need to have a go, what is it with Russia?, we lost good men supplying them with stores during the 2nd world war with the dreadful Artic
convoys , and all they have done ever since is slap us in the face, not only us but the majority of the world, how can one man be allowed to dictate his will on every one else, I am sure we are fed some disinformation by our spin doctors, but we can see on our  TV sets destruction virtually as it happens and I do not believe that it can really be spun at the time of transmission, what is seen  is disseminated by the person watching it, attacks are obvious they, I do not believe be staged managed, so where are we in all this?, well we have a despot dictator hanging on by a thread at one point but now has the backing of the little man in Russia, so the Russians are supporting a vile dictatorship that has been known to use poison gas on its own people, how is it possible to justify support for such a man?, the west is now deep in trouble, the air space that the west uses to bomb IS is now taken over by Russian aircraft a sure recipe for disaster, how long will it be before a mistake is made and someone's aircraft  is shot down, it is possible for it to happen just remember the Ukraine a civil aircraft but still blown out of the sky, the little man has the drop on the US, the UK and the rest of the world, not one leader is strong enough to say to him it is time to stop playing games and for him to direct his time to his own country he has enough problems at home to be bothered about before interfering in others

Syria

I see that the Little man has decided to join in this conflict, they say they that they are helping the West but as usual do something totally different, they have chosen to bomb the Free Syria Army, the Foreign Minister said that a terrorist is a terrorist that's it, so they being it seems on the Government of Syria's side they see everyone else as a terrorist group,   so what has happened? the little man is once again playing games with countries and peoples lives, lives it seems to matter not to him he is playing a game with the USA and the West winning is the end nothing else matters to him, truth does not come into it, he will support an oppressive regime no matter what, he has had some fun with the Ukraine, he has gotten his way with lies and deceit, so where next? why not the middle east, put Assad in control of the whole country and he will be very close friends with them, and of course Assad can go on with his oppressive regime, it is a very delicate situation for the West as none of us know just how irresponsible the little man actually is, he has tried his best under the cover of his countries deceit  in everything that they become involved in, we should be very aware as to the danger this man might plunge the world into, I just hope that some one takes the presidency away from him and put him where he belongs in my mind a mental hospital prison.
