So Gordon Brown keeps telling us we are in safe hands and all well turn out well. Well Mr Brown all I can say is, come back to planet Earth!!!!!
We in the UK must be the softest touch in the world. We take in all the dregs on humanity from around the globe, pay the benefits, give them housing and God knows what else. They drain our Economy, when honest, decent citizens struggle to pay their way and those who come to these shores with a genuine fear for their lives if they go home, are deported.....Makes sense, doesn't it?
Our Utilities are increasingly controlled by foreign companies, who charge us some of the highest tariffs in Europe. We become more and more dependant on oil and gas originating in countries of the former Soviet block, many with unstable Governments and Brown trots off to Riyadh, cap in hand, on bended knee pleading with the camel jockeys to raise oli outputand then tries to get them to fund building of new Nuclear power plants in the UK.....smart move Gordon!!!
House prices continue to fall, jobs are being lost, prices are rising, millions of Taxpayer pounds are being wasted in Afghanistan and Iraq, but don't worry folks, we are in safe hands.
I will be the first to admit, back in 1997 I voted Labour. Let's face it, most of us who were eligible to vote then did. After Thatcherism and all the sleaze of the Tories, Blair's labour seemed a breath of fresh air. 11 years down the line, how wrong we were. The rich poor gap widens, the private sector has it's stcky fingers in just about everything and in real terms, who is truly better off?
Brown may blame the cueent Global financial woes for his problems and the countries difficulties, but he was there balancing the books for 10 years, telling us how good thing were, how strong the country was financially under his stewardship. Sure it was, that's why it's buckling more and more each passing day. He wants us to believe he is in control and he is listening to us....BULLS**T!!!!! He shows no control, just arrogant stubborness on issues like 42 day detention for terrorists. He masterminds the introduction of more backdoor stealth taxes and quickly turns a deaf ear when people protest againt the abotition of the 10p tax rate, increased vehicle road tax and tells us the Government doesn't make more money out of increased fuel prices.
We are but a few months from Winter, cold, damp, less daylight, which means, heating on, light on more, bigger meals required. All I can say is, stockpile with candles, get a large supply of good books to read and shop at Netto, if you can afford that. 2008? nah, 1908 more like. Maybe we will get the gaslights back to go with it. I don't think so though, not with the current price of gas!
The country in safe hands Mr Gordon Brown? All I can say is, God help us when we are in unsafe ones!!!!!
