Queens Honours List

 The Honours list for the New Year, it makes me laugh that it is the Queens awards, who's leg are they trying to pull?, these are government awards to people who are in the know only a very few to the real people of this country who selflessly give up their time to help support all sorts of things in this world that does not attract government funding, people who work tirelessly year in and out for others their reward nothing, but others who have been well paid for their life time work that has only seen them getting involved as a matter of need for their profile, some do deserve it but others are just a joke, film stars, pop stars???, all seem to be able to attract honours not so for the general population, is it not abut time that the honours were given out to the people who have given themselves to help others not to people who have only done what they needed to do to get paid for their work, why should they be honoured? not for me thanks.

Weather amd Drunks an the NHS

What do we think we are with the weather?, I have a cousin in Canada where the temperature yesterday was -17 and snowing hard, he was saying to me that it would have to be very exceptional before anyone was not at work because of it, but of course we have a little snow and the country stops. I wonder just why that is?, why are we never prepared when we go out in poor weather conditions, the forecast often tells you to beware but we for some reason take no notice of it at all, it is not difficult to put a flask a blanket a shovel of some kind in the car with us, but no that is far to easy we prefer to cause mayhem on the roads, braking down not being able to carry on with the journey because we did not carry the equipment we just might need to get out of trouble, and then the next question is did we really need to go out anyway, our inconsideration means that some one else is inconvenienced the police, ambulance fire or the AA/RAC, we need to start to accept that we are never prepared for bad weather whatever it might be so we become the laughing stock of the world because of stupidity when it comes to travelling in bad weather, time to think before we act then just maybe we will be safe.

Would someone justify to me why it is that we accept people going out on a weekend with the sole intention of getting so drunk they are unable to stand let alone walk, this behaviour is without doubt self inflicted state of oblivion, who has to deal with these cretins why of course the NHS, why should they be treated? at no cost to themselves, only to us the general tax payer, I agree with a senior doctor that all of these people should never be seen in hospital A&E, and if they have to be the cost of this treatment should be paid by the patient attending, an ambulance costs good money to take them to hospital, cost of two staff the cost of fuel and the fact that it is out of service for any amount of time meaning one less ambulance unavailable for emergency use, then of course the abuse that these people pour on to staff is totally out of order, I feel desperately sorry for the staff on duty at all A&E units around the UK who will have to work on New Years eve they are saints and we should do something to stop this abuse of our NHS, it can't carry on looking after drunken idiots they have far more important work to do for people who are through no fault of their own sick.

Christmas

Christmas is the time of joy and happiness so why is it that people are killed in the most violent way, I am thinking about the family who lost 3 of their family in one go in the accident in Glasgow, just how do you as a family cope with such a terrible blow at Christmas time it?, is bad enough at any time of the year but at this time it must be doubly horrible!!.

People killed in road accidents all over the holiday period it is a terrible price to pay for a mistake by either you or someone else, and how do you live with yourself when you hit a pedestrian or cyclist and then fail to stop, the word flight and escape comes to mind.

Then we have City Link what a wonderful company, see everyone off on Christmas eve only to tell the staff on Christmas day that the company has folded and they are out of work, the bosses must have took a lot of time deciding on selecting the day, what they did is inexcusable to tell them on this day of all days is beyond sick it just shows the level of competence that the boss and his side kicks have, of course they are, I am sure well looked after they will mot be in tears, just the sickest present that they could possibly have given, who ever is responsible should be banned from  employing people ever again they are not a fit person to be allowed into a position such as an employer ever again!!!.

Christmas

Much to say but it is Christmas so all I have to say today is that I wish all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year will be back boxing day.

Immigration

Immigration, The home secretary is saying that se proposes to stop all students stopping in this country when their course ends and then apply to return to the UK for work, it is said that this is not the way forward, why isn't it?, we are talking about a lot of people and it is no doubt a back door way into the country, why else would there be so many fake colleges registering students that never actually attend any courses but then work out side the system, this then leaves them open to abuse by employers that see them as a meal ticket paying them a pittance  not the going rate, they are supplied with accommodation of a sort you would not want to live in, transport to work, consequently this can be a  massive charge at the end of the week for all these so called extras, I realise that the proper students are being head hunted by  industry that's fine but what about our kids just where do they stand in all this, of course employers are laughing all the way to the bank these foreign students they employ have cost them nothing to train or educate, the country of origin has paid for their education and the students have no doubt made  a contribution  themselves, our young people are being told that university is the way forward for them but in fact so many have a degree that is of no help at all, if we have these jobs that demand a very high education why are we not providing the proper training needed so that the young obtain the required skills needed for the top jobs that are available rather than dishing out these posts to foreign nationals, it is time in this country for a proper look at the education system and to tailor it to our childrens needs so that the future is secure for the people of the UK. 

Immigaration

Immigration, again this subject raises its ugly head, the home office have managed to loose in the system the equivalent population of Cardiff, just how in hell does this happen??, surely we are not that incompetent are we?, I should think that it is all down to Tony's open door policy that we are all paying for now, we have to have a system that ensures that their are the proper level of staffing to deal with immigration problems, it is crazy that there are over 2,000 people camping in Calais just trying every day to get into the UK, why?, having seen the interviews with these people they believe that England is the land of honey, free housing, medical treatment and a quality education, they expect housing and benefits to go with it why? because people traffickers are telling them so, why else would they risk their lives in such a crazy plan to get here, for god's sake travelling on the axel of a heavy goods lorry travelling in the UK at 56mph is just madness, in reality if they are asylum seekers they should apply at the land fall when they arrive in Europe, not allowed to travel from Italy to France without hindrance each place hoping to get rid of them, and of course they do not want to stop in these places not when utopia is just over the horizon England, we now have the French blaming us for the problems that they are experiencing in Calais, it has to be admitted that we are partly to blame because our benefits system is so attractive to them they are willing to risk their lives to get it, we catch a few but miss hundreds more, only a few lorries are searched at port of entry so just how many illegal's are in the country is any ones guess, but is has to be thousands, we for them and of course our benefit need an efficient system fully staffed and none of this silly bail that they give these illegals when at last they are caught, I know that many ensure that they have no papers at all when caught but that should not be a reason for their removal to be stopped, if you are illegal you are illegal and should be removed as soon as possible, this is not racist behaviour just the use of common sense, but unfortunately there is not much of that about in the UK and a massive amount of lawyers laughing all the way to the bank after claiming legal aid for people who in reality have no right to it.

Pakistan

Well believe it or not it is the fault of the USA for the death of the children and adults killed in the military school in Pakistan, how can that possibly be?, I think that the Pakistani  minister seen on the BBC news is desperately looking for a scapegoat other than the Pakistani government, but all the wriggling under the sun does not detract from the fact that the government were aware that the Taliban were likely to attack the school, but of course they sat on their hands and did nothing consequently so many dead children, it is not the fault of the US that this attack took place it is firmly at the door of the Pakistan Government, they have spent years placating the Taliban falling all over their selves to not upset them only to reap the horrendous repercussions of this policy, some has to tell them that if you give terrorists the slightest leeway they will repay you with death and destruction, the only way to obtain at least some sort of peace in Pakistan has to be the army running down these militants and bring them to justice to kill the body you need to chop off its head only then without a leader they become powerless, the people need and want peace not death and destruction every day of their lives!!.
