NHS

I have some support for junior doctors, and I do not blame them for striking, how they manage to do the job is beyond me, so many hours on duty but still have to be responsible for their patients from start of the shift till the very end, it seems to me that the NHS at the clinical end is run by staff who are working far to many hours, after 12 hours you have to be tired, then the opportunity for mistakes arises, but nothing changes the work load does not change, I have to say that the staff that are employed as assistants/nurses need good  English, last year I spent many hours in A&E and the wards, people asking me questions they did not understand me nor did I understand them, it is very frustrating. You just have to wonder if you are getting the proper treatment drugs,  I have to laugh about your own medication that you are told you must take in with you, why when they then issue the same drugs from the hospital pharmacy seems a bit silly to me, if you have your drugs with you and you are competent why can't you use your own, I had a time late evening when the nurse came doing the drugs round, she told me that there was one drug that they did not have so I would have to go with out till they got some the next day, I had such an argument over the fact that I had the drug in my blister pack, my reasoning was that I have been taking these tablets for years I know which ones they are I am competent so why can't I take them from my pack after some time she backed down and let me take the medication from my packs.      

Middle East Young Men

Well here we go, I warned that there would be problems with the fact that there were so many young men heading for Europe, it is unfortunate that the women of Germany had to be assaulted before anyone thought about this, and is really naughty of the German government have tried to cover up the problem, and even worse the police took no notice, in fact say that it is the responsibility of the women to ensure she does not get into a dangerous situation when groups of men are out and about, pardon me!!! just what do the police think they are doing with advice like this??, no women walking the street should have to think that she can't go here or there because of a group of men, but if these men have started behaving in this way then the police need to take action against anyone behaving in this manner, it says a lot today where the chancellor of Germany is proposing to fast track deportation if convicted of a criminal offence.

Then there is this refugee in the UK who has been importing whole families in to the UK every day of the week for months, at a vast cost to the refugees, now Belgium has filed a extradition order against him he has refused it on the grounds that his human rights will be violated, just what is going on in this country, he is a known abuser of people a thief and people trafficker, we should with out a doubt escort him out of the country to Belgium and let them deal with him not us !!!!!!. 

Middle East

I find that the stopping of aid to some Syrian people is awful and the perpetrators should be made to reverse their actions, little kids not having food for seven days, one chap saying that he had leaf porridge for a meal, what value are leaves as a food, they are so it is said eating grass and so sad eating cats, it just shows how desperate these people are, there is food if you have the money, but at a vastly increased cost, it is always the same if there is a war for sure you will have a black market flourishing, is it not time for NATO to say that they will be taking humanitarian aid to all the people in desperate need, once again it is the children that suffer, they do have a little choice join IS or starve, not much hope for them is there??.  

Iran

Now things are getting serious, Saudi Arabia have chucked the baby into the bath, executions all round including fellow Muslims, the minister said that he has the right to order these executions as and when he sees fit, basically they will do as they please, well maybe they might be in serious trouble with then Iranians, they will take non of this, retribution is the way forward for them and do not forget they  just might have an atomic bomb to back up any threats they might issue, I would have thought that Iran was the last country you would want to wind up but there you go, the middle east is a caldron of hate and religious unrest, we have just about every body fighting each other, and you can bet non of them know exactly why, we should be very pleased because with the USA we have caused all this discontent, none of these countries have the slightest understanding what democracy means, many say they want it but do not really know what that means, all the participants all over the middle east want to win and impose their idea of democracy, which in reality is  a dictatorship, so in effect nothing will actually change, just different people taking the lead, so many loose their lives for what ?????.

    

The Army

So I now see some support for soldiers involved in the Iraq war, the legal money making machine still intends to pursue soldiers whatever, even one who has been cleared not once but twice for an alleged abuse of Iraqis. Most if not all of our soldiers act in a responsible way, but as I have said war conditions makes men react differently, it might be in law wrong but what law is on a battle field??, non, eye for an eye tooth for a tooth seems to ring a bell, a unit of soldiers are a close knit family, on patrol together, eat together, fight together and lastly die together, just what effect does this have on a mans life, his understanding of life and death, enemy behaviour to their mates can have a massive effect on the way the squad will behave in a battle situation, if they capture one of the enemy there is no way that the law will be effected, you have captured an enemy, how do you react??, this is a man who was and still wants to kill you and your mates,  you certainly would  not be to worried about the treatment that he might receive, you just might think there but the grace of God  go I, but it has to be remembered you as a British soldier can only expect to be executed as a prisoner, no reason given, so when we all understand the pressure these men are under when in action, without experiencing it you do not have the slightest idea.     

Football

I used to go and see my local team play mind you that is several years ago, but the football was very entertaining.
The players at this time received £25 per week and a win bonus of a £1 also 50p for a draw, that was when players were on a pittance but now just look at the stupid game we have now players on £120,000 per week, now come on is this right??, why is it that  all the money in football goes to teams in the premier league, why is that when you see teams in the lower leagues going to the wall for a lack of cash the Football league sit on their hands, if they had a reasonable income they could afford to compete and becoming a viable proposition.
I was watching TV a couple of days ago when the commentator really made me feel sad (no chance) he was saying that some players were tired because they had had to play two matches in a very short time so not getting enough rest, who the hell are they trying to kid????, these players are as I have said being paid ridiculous amounts of money expect to have to only play once a week for 90 mins, obviously far too much work for them, my advice to the premier league players, if you want such stupid pay deals then you have to earn it!!, but no one is worth £200,000 pay a week it is obscene to pay these players, this is the reason I would never go to see a football match I would rather have the gate money in my pocket rather than these greedy peoples pockets!!!!.     

Military Active Service

I wish everyone a very Happy New Year.

Now a band waggon to jump on, British Soldiers likely to be charged over their actions in the war in Iraq, just what do these witch hunters hope to gain over any events so long ago.
!3 Years ago it seems, just why are people so interested in what our troops might or might not have done, in the heat of battle things happen, you have to remember the enemy are not wearing a uniform as you have to, they are not subject to the rules of conflict as our soldiers do, day after day month after month never knowing if you will live or die, you are fully aware of the consequence's  if you should be taken prisoner, if you should survive you can't claim against the enemy because no one knows who they are,
It was on the news tonight that the cost of this money spinner for the legal profession is £57 Million, just where does this money come from??, it cant be in the budget so where  and whose budget is it.
What is the point of joining up??, one thing for sure if you should break a rule you are finished, why should that be, past wars have seen Prisoners of War have not been taken one because you might not have enough rations for them nor the soldiers to guard them, World War One soldiers were ordered NOT to take prisoners, both sides followed that policy, so what is so different now???.
