Football

It must be about the sickest contract  that the FA have entered into for televising the Premier League, the princely sum of £5 billion for three years, it works out that SKY and BT are paying £10 million for each game that they show, that is just sick, don't tell me that this is not excessive it is, it is a disgrace to see so much money sloshing about in football, I heard today that it is acceptable for a footballer to earn £300,000 per week, you what!!!!, no man or women is worth that amount of money to play football, often two games a week what a hard job! yes they have to train but that still does not justify stupid mosey, the supporters have to take some of the blame though they pay silly prices to watch a team of their choice then they have travel costs to add in, excuse me aren't we in a recession? some people desperate for food having to go too food banks others paying out hundreds of pounds a week to watch a football match I don't know where they get the money from, as well they travel into Europe for cup matches so just where does the money come from?, where ever it is it is a waste as it just supports these money mad footballers, I have to wonder just how much tax they pay on this vast amount of money I bet there is a way where you pay next to nothing, the other thing in this debacle is the Agent who of course wants a massive cut of the deal, £5 billion would go a very long way to support so many people in this country who are in dire need and who are at their wits end, footballers should bow their heads in shame, it must be hard to live on an income of over £1 million a MONTH not a year that's £12 million plus, I despair!!!!

The NHS

The NHS again in the news, the Kings Fund has said that the collation government have totally messed up the NHS, the white paper presented to parliament at the beginning of the first term of the government is to blame for many of its ills, I have always said that this paper was the biggest mistake that any government had ever tried changing the way the NHS performs, there was no real need for the paper, yes the services needed to be reviewed and the management needed to be looked at, but to butcher the service was the height of stupidity by people who had no idea as to what it was all about, all the targets that were imposed were not likely to be realised, and were of no benefit to the patient, I remember seeing a consultant surgeon who after deciding to admit me had to sit and fill in forms for 35 mins 5 copies, one here, one there, this is a highly qualified man his time should be spent operating or looking after his patients not filling in stupid forms that are sent to different managers who just can't live without these forms, what a waste of time effort and money!!

The Ukrane

So Russia is not supplying the rebels in the Ukraine, just who's leg is Russia trying to pull, they are having talks with the EU (France & Germany), which I have just seen have failed, the Russians I believe are very happy to provide heavy weapons to the rebel army who are it seems solely Russian speaking people, but the sovereign state government of the Ukraine the Russians say are not to be allowed heavy weapons from the US, can the west keep backing down to Russia, it is time to give the Ukraine the weapons they need, there is no legal reason for Russia to inflict its rule on the Ukrainian people, the government is an elected one so are the legal law and order in the Ukraine, the rebels have set up their own police, and boarder crossings with their own flag, all of it illegal in world law, Russia is setting the world on a possible conflict East Verses West, we do not need another world war, it does not surprise me though I seem to many little men have often brought their countries to their knees not in the least bothering about human life, the conflict in the Ukraine is really in essence no difference to the conflict in the Middle East, one group inflicting their will on a people who have not the slightest choice in the outcome, they have to suffer death and destruction all because of a little man trying to tell the world he is a big hard man!!!.

The Health Service

For once I have read some good news but as always there are dissenters, the health service have decided to set up a trial with 10 GP surgeries around the country, all they need to do is to ensure immigrants have a European health card before treatment is given, and the details of these people be added to a data base so that the NHS can charge the country of origin can be sent the bill for any treatment they receive while in the UK, at the moment the service looses at least £400 million a year maybe far more because they do not recover the cost of treatment that these patients receive, we as a country pay other countries around £175 million a year to other EU countries for UK patients needing care, they pay us in return £17.5 million very much lob sided, to me that is a really good idea but as always there has to be someone who tries to shoot this down, a certain doctor says that this makes GP's a grass reporting their possible refusal of health services, he complains that they do not have the money to use on such a possible registrar, well I have some news for him, you just might have more money to look after patients if you weeded out these heath tourists at the very beginning ensuring we can get the money back from the country who is responsible for their care we as a country can't keep paying for everyone who decides that we are a soft touch, we have to snap down on this loss of cash now and I am afraid that GP's will have to grin and bear it!!!!.     

Middle East

So Jordon has retaliated and done it very quickly, I am not sure  that hanging two people is the right response but it is not surprising as IS had killed the Jordanian Pilot in such a horrific way, this tit for tat murder of people just has to stop at some point you can be sure though if you get rid of IS you will just get some form of replacement, it might take a while but it will all happen again, The wold is full of people who have a grudge against everyone, no matter what you do they will always come to the fore front, the problem for society is when a number of these people get together in a group and they obtain money, to be able to get arms is it seems simple, but to become a terrorist group you often need the support knowingly or not of a government especially if you want to use heavy weapons, you only need a cause that the rogue government can accept and off you go, you only have to look at the Ukraine!!, who is supplying the rebels with heavy weapons, you would have to be a fool not to realise that Russia sits right next door and the rebel terrorists separatists are of Russian persuasion, so in my mind it is Russia doing the dirty deed, the President of Russia  of course denies this of course but it is him, what is the intention of Russia in all of this?, it is to destabilise the Ukraine and to stop them Joining NATO, this is not by diplomatic peaceful way but by outright terrorism, so it is not just terrorist groups playing death and destruction to peaceful people but terrorist nations as well, so just how do you stop that??.

Snow

I live in the East of England, yesterday evening we had some snow I do mean some snow, but it causes havoc, schools not sure if they will open warnings of dangerous road surfaces, I went out in my car at 9.30 my street covered in snow as was my car, I was worried that I would be late for a 10am appointment at my doctors, on leaving my street it started to clear and coming to the T junction the road was clear not one bit of snow anywhere, that was the same the whole way of my journey, so I ended up a quarter of an hour early, on my way home it was just the same, so all the worry about the weather I had listened too was a waste of time, I feel that it is about time we did not react every time snow falls the amount we get is negligible it is fairly easy to drive you just have to make adjustments to your driving, simple really go slower no hard braking just take care and all is well, but for some reason we just cant do it for some reason!!.   

Electon

Why is it that we have to have all this crap day after day, non stop bull, it just drives you mad, they find it totally impossible to actually answer a question, you see them being interviewed they dance about like a puppet on strings never ever considering to give an honest reply, why do we accept all the fibs??, actually they are often a lot more than fibs, I saw the PM tonight saying that all children's allocated money for education would be protected but and it is a big but it will not rise with inflation, so what are the children getting educationally in reality not a thing, young people saying that when papers are handed out there are never enough to go round so they have to share, where is the sense in that?, the comment also was that A3 paper was like gold dust. so in reality another load of bull.
Certain party's are trying their best to destroy the NHS, using it as a football in the election game, the NHS is a serious need to the population, but that matters not to the spin merchants, why should they worry they have private health care sod every one else, I hate to wish my life away but hurry up May and lets get back to some sort of normality!!
