Brexit

I find the arguments  about us leaving the EU childish in the extreme, some are behaving like spoilt kids chucking their toys out of the pram, stamping their feet and crying foul because they cant get their own way, I keep saying that it is time to  stop!! enough is enough, I find it quite difficult to see the argument change on a daily basis it seems, you have to accept that all the problems we would allegedly encounter if we should leave the EU have not materialised and we move on or at least try to but the media and the grandees find arguments to put the referendum down as a mistake, us poor peasants taking a decision that we were not capable of understanding, I have heard all the reasons as to why the decision was made and the one thing that influenced me is not seen as a problem, I mean immigration most of the people I have spoken to about leaving their main influence was the level of unstainable immigration that is happening in this country, it is plainly obvious that the NHS is failing because of this influx of population, doctors surgery's overwhelmed schools unable to cope and a massive housing problem, so whatever is said we just can't keep on allowing people to enter the UK, it is fine saying we need the labour for jobs that the UK population will not take but that can be sorted out and no doubt will be, one question on my mind is how much longer can we allow the vast amount of cash being sent to all these eastern countries, I have always thought that earned income in the UK should be spent in the UK, it is aggravating to find that the shelves in my corner shop are filling with polish food rather than UK goods, just where are we going are we a  multi  national state or are we a mass of people that stick in their own communities and refuse to intergrade, it is a ridiculous situation that people who have lived in the UK for 30 years or more still can't or won't speak English, we are not and will never be a multi-cultural society while these communities never assimilate with the local population>   

Brexit

I am so sorry to go back to this once again but the whole thing is becoming idiotic, I am sick to death of those who are turning every stone they find to try and block Brexit, they just cant leave it alone!!, we had the referendum and the out camp won it so does the majority rule or not???, do we not elect MP's to represent us in Parliament or do we elect them to do as they please????, Nick Cleg is a prime example he just can't or wont accept the result, who is he now?? a little voice in a big country, his party were depleted considerably at the last election so just what does he think he is doing??, now I see that Richard Branson is sticking his finger in the pie, he says he will bankroll another referendum he should keep his money in his pocket and shut up he represents no one or am I missing something??, then we come to the wicked witch of the North  who is loving every minuet of this, throwing in her three pennyworth saying that Scotland does not want to leave the EU, if it is to happen she wants another referendum on Scotland leaving the UK?? what is she about she was part of the last referendum and she was on the loosing side, but it seems the losers in referendums in the UK are totally unable to accept democracy!! democracy to these people is when they get their own way, we the run of the mill yokel's who have no idea as to anything of importance, we have to be led by the nose at all times and never make the mistake of allowing them to be involved in a major decision, but for them David Cameron made what they consider a massive blunder in allowing us the peasants the ability to make a decision, and they have no idea as to how to accept the decision made, I would love to meet these pompous idiots and tell them a few home truths about just how we live compared to them and that we over the years of our lives watch take in information and make very informed decisions regarding who we vote for, and they should be very careful as to their intervention in matters that in all honesty they have no right most of them to comment as they are unelected they have a personal view but that is their view and in many instances irrelevant, just maybe they should keep quiet and accept the decision of the majority.

ILLNESS

Once again taken seriously ill again, it seems that the paramedics got to me just in time, 3 very good medics arrived and everything seemed to happen at once, cannula fitted, ECG done plus blood pressure and bloods for testing taken, then into the ambulance blue lights on rushed me to A&E, things got worse in the ambulance so on arrival rushed into resuscitation where after some time I stabilised, it seems that my blood oxygen was at 65% so very ill, the hospital unfortunately was on Black alert so was on an A&E laughingly called a bed for 13.5 hours my bum was in agony by the time I was moved to the Cardiac Care Unit, put on the machines and a second cannula fitted and so two drips were in place, I was receiving oxygen and antibiotic drugs by infusion,  I was on these machines for 4 days, finally I got a lot better than I was, now the food, they say that food is a major part of recovery, not at my hospital, the food is steamed so there is a lot of water about, the attractativness leaves me sick, I have tried just about everything on the menu not one meal looked appetising, and the taste was awful, most of the time I had a cup of milk and 2 orange juice and an occasional sandwich, I just could not wait to go home, the relief that I felt when the consultant said you can go home was beyond belief, but even then the wait for the discharge letter and pharmacy to get their finger out means 4 to 5 sitting waiting to be allowed to go, not a happy experience.    

Illnes

I never thought I would want to write about what is going on in my life but things health wise are going down fast, over the past two years I have spent many times in hospital, it all started with a fluid build up in my legs and feet, I was admitted and given an intravenous  water drugs, at that time my legs were both leaking fluid, most of the two weeks I was in hospital I sat in a chair in a puddle of fluid as the nurses were to busy to change the dressings, finally the fluid reduced and stopped leaking, I left hospital with drugs to get rid of excess fluid but it soon built up again and the drugs were upped to the maximum I could have, it was then found out that I had a heart murmur and  my heart had gone into atrial fibrillation, an attempt was made to put it back into rhythm but two weeks later it went back in to A/F, unfortunately they are not able to perform the procedure again, so there I was full of fluid, a heart murmur, A/F, type two diabetes insulin dependant,  could things get any worse for me??, I will carry on in my next post>     

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.
