Hi all
Just thought I would throw this one into the pot for a discussion; what political party is everyone going to vote for when election time comes?
I feel as though I have lost all faith in the main three what with expenses fiddling, the Condems attempting and it looks like succeeding in creating a two tier social society of the rich and poor, privatising anything that has the opportunity of making the rich richer and keeping the poor down.
Labour appear to be floundering around and stand to lose a long term connection with the Unions that fought so hard in the past to bring into play what we all know today as employees rights, safe working condition, protective work wear and many more measures that were hard fought and won by our forefathers these rights are now being threatened by this totalitarian government and its bombastic, self opinionated and “you will do as I say approach”.
The NHS, truly a jewel in the British Crown respected the world over and an engine of knowledge helping to create fantastic Health care professionals that serve the Public 24/7 and cascade that knowledge around the world. Yes there are many faults with the NHS but to privatise it I feel is not the answer think about it there are over 60 million people in the UK what percentage of these people pays tax just like you and I? What percentage of people pays National Insurance Contributions just like you and I? That is an awful lot of monies where is it going?
The Government are saying that jobs need to be found for the Youth of our Society...... well they have created a problem by scrapping free higher education for School leavers and again making it a reality for the privileged in society to attain a degree...elitism?.
The Government has also increased the retirement age to 66 and beyond so we have an ageing population working well beyond their years and into an early grave, there is no wonder the kids cannot get a job, next time you visit Tesco’s or a similar store have a look at whose filling the shelves aside from the odd foreign national you will see many old aged pensioners that really should be at home enjoying their retirement but because of pressures put on them by this Gov and its policies and many pensioners having to support their younger members of the families who cannot get work. They have to work into what is the “evening of their lives”. These Pensioners have done there bit for our country and come 60 all pensioners should be able to retire safe in the knowledge that they will be provided for, cared for, have heating, food and healthcare are able to socialise and enjoy their lives and have the necessary funds and support to do this.
Retiring at 60 would create the jobs for our Youth, real jobs with real futures watched over by a wise experienced, and motivated elderly population that although retired have the energy, commitment and interest to advice if required and are welcomed to do just that.
Many of us have children we have heard a lot recently about Global Warming, greenhouse gases, sea levels raised by the polar ice cap melting, there has been a tentative approach at creating green energy but there has been no “aggressive” plan to combat and change the threat to our world, we see world leaders sit and squabble but nothing happens and the world coughs and splutters on. England created what are many of the environmental problems faced in the world today with the Industrial Revolution, now China and many other developing nations are repeating those mistakes someone has to act the time for talks is over “Actions Speak Louder Than Words” and as my mum used to say an “Empty Drum makes the Loudest Noise” Mr Cameron.
