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.
