NHS

Over the past year I have spent several weeks as an in patient in hospital, firstly I was seriously ill and the nursing I received was second to none, but then the problems started that was the horrendous food served to patients, ordering roast beef and roast potatoes I received what is called "steamplicity" so I would welcome some one telling me just how do roast potatoes are roast potatoes when they are in fact steamed???, they were in my meal in fact white they may have seen an oven at some time but it must be just in passing as they can't have stopped in the oven for long,  but as all the food served has gone through the microwave steamer it is mainly dry, nasty taste and some of it unpalatable, it is not surprising that so many elderly patients loose weight while in the hospital, on my ward I was told that one patient had gone to the hospital restaurant for breakfast, dinner and tea each day because he could not stand the food,  I only wished I was fit enough too do the same but unfortunately I was hooked up to too many machines and drips to allow me to go.
Food is a form of medicine good food means quicker recovery rubbish food means longer recovery consequently longer stays in hospital, the problem in my eyes is the fact the some hospitals have companies that import ready made meals, then the wards if they should order a sandwich for a late admission costs £6 two slices of bread with just a little filling, the other problem is the fact porters working in my hospital work for a separate company not the hospital, so when you need to be moved it takes some time to get a porter allocated to the job, finally to be discharged means a long delay waiting for pharmacy to get the needed drugs for you and then there is the discharge letter, in my case told at 9.30am I could go home it was 5.15pm before I went out the door, spending many hours sitting in the  ward waiting room to be allowed to go!!, so from a patient point of view really good treatment totally let down by everything else it is so sad, I live in dread for the next time the ambulance is called and they say the words we are taking you to hospital, panic pervades!!!!.     

The World - Brexit

Another day in this mad world, we have so many people in the world today who believe they have all the answers, but do they?. sadly NO, Putin inflicting death and destruction without fear, who would stop him?, No one, so more and more will die because of his and Assad's craving for power, no matter who suffers, we should all remember this over Christmas, I weep for those poor kids shoe less, no coats or in a lot of cases no accommodation, can you look at your kids and think "could you allow this to happen to yours??".                                                

Then the SNP!!!!, just what does she think she is doing??, does she really think Scotland would be better off in the EU and out of the UK, if she does she does not have the sense she was possibly born with, it is funny just how people react to power, out the window goes democracy in its place demands or I will chuck my doll out of the pram, England and Wales just could not afford to have an EU country on our boarder, just remember free movement of people if you should decide to remain!, I think that a new wall might be needed across the England / Scotland boarder to keep illegal immigrants out of the rest of the UK, Brexit is here no matter what, so Scotland get on with the decision of the majority, the minority can't have a change just because they are not happy with the result!!!.

Brexcit Again

I see that the EU are behaving abysmally it just goes to show how constricted it has become, nasty Italians dictating to us how we may or may not leave, the reality is we voted to leave, it is not for the EU to throw the dolly out of the pram, I read that we will have to keep paying into the EU budget for years to come, why is that??, if we will not be allowed free trade and will not be a member why should the tax payer in this country pay in when we will not get anything out??, just shows what a bunch of crooks they are, much of what is decided by the EU is not logical in fact many times it has been stupidity only a fool wold suggest it but they do and force countries to abide by their decisions, I see it as an insult that many British people regard themselves as European, that is a problem in itself, we live in the UK we are either Irish, Welsh, Scottish English, and not forgetting all the people in the many island's around our coast, it is sad that certain people in Parliament just can't cope with the referendum, when you look about you can see in many places there is more work than before the Brexit vote, in reality we are doing all right, the only shortage that I have seen is land workers, at farms in my area, I understand just why people do not want to do the work in the fields, I have personally done this work and it is a killer, worse it was then for very low payment, this is why some farmers are so against Brexit, if it should be that the workers from the EU cant come to do the job the farmers will have to pay the going rate and that is not going to happen, I just can't understand why all this attempted disruption of Brexit is going on, to leave we need a common sense agreement, if the government is happy to allow underpaid workers into the country then surely there would be a way of allowing these workers in for a set period of time, what many people in this country do not understand is the vast millions of pounds leave this country every month to many countries throughout the world, that is money earned here but not spent in our shops meaning a loss of income for shops and a loss of tax to the treasury, time to sup[port the UK, the disrupter's should use their right to work in another country they might feel better and at least will leave us in peace.    

Brexit

I believe that Brexit will never happen, the government has no proper plans for exit, and to many are playing games, I see that the two monkeys have decided to join in Mr Blair and Clegg, they seem to think they are the only ones who can get the country back into what they believe to be proper state of affairs, well in all honesty they should keep their noses out Blair has cost this country a lot, so much money spent fighting in the middle east, the only thing he can hold his name to is the fact that he has disrupted the lives of millions of people in places such as Iraq, Syria  it is not only the financial cost but the cost in lives is astronomical, many of our soldiers have died trying to sort out this mess but it just gets worse, Mr Clegg has been shown that his party is not what it once was, he led them to defeat at the last election so why does he think that he knows better than the majority, as always he is a Politian and for some reason seems to believe that they are right and 17.5 million are wrong, I think not, they both might find it better to keep quiet and push Brexit forward not try to put fences in the way with the object of staying in the EU, it is not for our benefit but their self importance, the house of Lords are even worse they seem to believe that we the population are peasants and need to be led, we are people who just don't understand the world and need to be told what they believe  to be the right course of action, in their minds we are uneducated peasants and need to be told what to do not tell them that is just not on old boy!!.

 In reality there are so many who believe that it is wrong to leave the EU and will do anything possible to obstruct it, rather than accepting the majority they should in reality be ashamed of themselves do they believe in democracy ? they cant do or else they would accept the fact that the REMAIN CAMPAIGN LOST so tough, time to get on with your life and accept you are British not European!!! 

The World

Well I now know that the world has gone mad, but then again if you look at properly you can see that the people have had enough of the political leaders of so many countries, we now see that Trump will be the new president of the US A, then we have the result of Brexit both thought to have gone the other way i.e. Hillary and remain. but the people have said differently, what this means for the USA remains to be seen, will he be conciliatory or aggressive, in my mind possibly the second, it is obvious that the Russians have decided that consolatory is where they feel he will be, so the world has to be very careful because I think that the little man in Russia will take that as a weakness and is likely to push his luck, just look at today his aircraft carrier has been firing missiles and worst they are dropping barrel bombs on the Syrian freedom fighters as well as IS, he is determined to keep Assad in power to keep his influence in the area,   and he can do it because no one in the world will stop him just remember the Ukraine, it seems that the civilian airliner brought down by Russian rockets video evidence of the launcher entering the Ukraine and departing with a rocket missing, fairly clear cut in my mind, so where are we now?, sitting in the frying pan just waiting to jump into the fire, lets hope things get better for the world but I would not put money on it!!!!.

 

Brexit

It is so sad that people like Clegg is so determined to block Brexit whatever it takes, now I read that another is going to court to say that the British people were lied to by the Leave group,  but even though the remain people told fibs as well he is not following up on that, that just shows the idiotic plans to defeat the referendum, the MP's voted 6 to 1 for the referendum to be put to the people now it has gone against what they expected they are sinking to the very depths to try to stop us leaving the EU, many say they see their selves as Europeans, not me I am English and Proud to be that, I do not want to be a member of Europe I am happy to belong to this nation of ours, the future will show the nastiness that has been involved in this peoples decision, they are people who believe that they are above us workers, they believe they know best,  they in fact live in a different world to the rest of us, they have no idea as to what it is like on the stgreets, they have no idea as to the poverty that some  live in, they can't cope with the fact that we the general public had the nerve to vote out, so they think it is their god given right to interfere and to go against the people decision, this just might be a big mistake by them and they might just get the rough end of the stick!!!.

Brexit

So the judiciary have told the government that before they implement article 50 they need to have a vote in the commons to instigate the article, the reason is that we the general public would loose our right to appeal to the European court of appeal, I in making my decision which way to vote took into account this and I was happy to accept not being able to do this, and that it would stop some of these ridiculous appeals being herd that are in most cases rubbish. it is as I have said many times the rich with polotitans think they know best, but I think that this time they have gone to far, if the government's appeal fails should we not kick up a real stink making these money men accept that we the people are the employers we select our representatives, they make the decisions so really the only influence that an MP should abide by is that of his/hers constituents not the lobbyists business leaders nor unions  in making decisions regarding the people of this country!!, we the people have made a decision right or wrong it matters not democracy rules in this country and any one of the upper echelon should just remember that!!
