Understanding

Am I right or wrong, Glastonbury is a music festival nothing to do with politics, so then why was the Labour leader given  a 15 min slot on the main stage to preach to the young, it would be better if these young impressionable people had a deep look into his back ground, then may be they will understand just how dangerous it would be to fall under their rule, I'm keep having to say it but some are just deaf to logic and truth, reality is and always has been the labour party will ruin the country with their hair brained ideas, nationalisation is not only unrealistic but so costly the country wold be paying for years, giving the unions back their power would that not mean as in the past strike after strike usually for no valid reason other than the unions desire to show how big they are, give young people fee university places this is the bait for the younger voters, but again who pays for it, what happens to our defence ?, they recommend that it no matter what the threat you can talk your way out of it, I think not, it has never happened before, war usually arises when all the talking has been done and usually when  one country attacks the opponent and the other then retaliates, talk is the not the only way out of countries arguing over something or other, it can  often be  a show of strength culminating in action, it is no good then talking you either submit or fight and this country of our has always fought often not for our selves but at times we have to commit or as I say submit.                               

Government

Where is this country going?, there seems to be many knives flashing about the PM had better watch her back, not just from her own MP's, why anyone would want to job of PM is beyond me, it seems to me that the BBC are determined that at some point a labour government is installed which has been painfully obvious by their bias reporting of the run up to the election, a great deal of time was given to Labour every night never reporting the leaders past, just before the election he was seen as an object of fun, the media decided that eh was just a joke and not worth worrying about, now after not a winning victory in the election he becomes the messiah, the one who would save the country from all ills, well the honest truth is that this was not the case, I do not like austerity anymore than anyone else, but when you borrow at some point you have to back what you borrowed, the reason for austerity is down to the last labour governments spending spree that we as a nation are now paying for, the people who hold the labour party up as the light of the future must be very ill-informed, just where would the money come from to pay to re nationalise the railways ??  water and anything else they might decide to bring back into government control?, this all costs a vast amount of money where does that come from?, why of course borrowing, they say that it will come from the rich??, if I was rich and going to have to pay even more tax I would be off and live somewhere else then paying no tax to the UK government at all, so reality says that we have to be very realistic as to what can and can't be done, or austerity will go on and on for many more years to come, Labour lost the election lost being the operative word but watching them on the TV you would think that they had won with a massive majority, but they didn't they lost and the sooner they accept that they might  just stop being idiots.

Election / Brexit

Well here we go we are off to Trump land, without a doubt all the opposition  parties will do every thing they can to make Brexit difficult to complete, the EU must think we are a bunch of idiots, how can it be that a person who as a leader of a party of members who have tried and tried to get him out all of a sudden becomes the saviour of this country of ours??, it seems that the vote was increased  by the young who were influenced by some one who for some reason was seen as a charismatic  peron, it is very easy to be taken in by these type of people as they are fully aware that their policies' will never in fact see the light od day, but when you are likely to win you have to take care to keep all the promise's that you make, we as a nation  do not like austerity but money borrowed in the past has to be paid back, and it is a pity that the young of this country did not take into account of the fact that the last time labour was in power and lost the election a note was left to in the incoming chancellor that stated there is nothing left in the bank, so would it be he the best idea in the world to allow them in control once again?, the result of the election was that Labour lost no two ways about it they lost, the future now for this country is I would say bleak, I do not think that even with the help of the DUP the government will be able to work effectively, this parliament should bring in a law to stop attacks on people during the election, many were vial and should in my mind be prosecuted, but the young and middle aged seem to think that they can post items that are unacceptable and in some cases disgusting but until some sort of  rule to stop this sick posting it will never end, Brexit is now going to be a nightmare and with the state we are in the only way out now because we have to a very hard Brexit, the EU now has the upper hand and will screw us to the very limit so I just hope that the young of this country become to understand the damage that they have done to the UK but I doubt it, it makes me laugh as the young always blame the elderly for the problems of government but when the country is at stake they go for the free university places because they are so hard done by having to take out a loan to pay for their education, why should I as a long tax payer for some 55 years and still paying at 70 see my tax being spent on university education?.

Election

Once again I am back in the land of the living after  another stay in hospital, so I had plenty of time to watch just what is going on in the election, it is sad that so much spin si thrown at us by all parties, I despair of JC and his policies, his fantastic promises regarding nationalisation of the railways, it seems to me that he is a Trump clone but has not got the ability to lead this country  anywhere, he is unable to fully staff his shadow cabinet always running short,, and the majority of his MP's just dot support him, so how could anyone vote for a party that is in disarray, the  PM has made mistakes but is in a different league altogether, she at least is an experienced leader of the country, and is well able to lead us into the Brexit talks, but I am aware of the young vote that it very easily manipulated unfortunately some if not many have not the slightest idea as to World / European affairs, they can be led by the nose to vote by inexperience and led by any promises that they just might like and peer group pressure,  also the promise of money for the NHS is just throwing money away, I have watched it daily in hospital, less money per meal is spent on a patients meal than a prisoner in  jail, I have been admitted ate at night and been offered a sandwich at a cost the ward nurse told me was 60pounds yes 60, two rounds of bread with a filling not to much though is that not a waste of recourses, nurses who used to be able to get you a piece of toast are not allowed to do it, more stupidity, so much of the ancillary services are now outsourced so again costing a fortune, then the weekend, one nurse and one health care assistant per fourteen people, a friend of mine was left for over two hours in a wet bed on a Sunday morning,  he could not be given an injection he needed till they could get a qualified nurse from another ward, but when I was in my consultant was doing the rounds on a Sunday morning, some one somewhere is not being totally truth full about the NHS. stop the waste at the top, cut the managers and deparments
