It is starting to bother me that we have always been ruled by basically inept people who appear to have no qualms about helping themselves at the trough. Take the lot we have in power at the minute, they have cocked up health, social, prison services, the home office is a shambles, foreign policy is frankly quite frightening. In the old days someone who cocked up resigned, now they just lie about it.
I don't suppose anyone saw the MP rap sheet, the one figure I remember is 84 MPs who are currently facing drink driving charges, MPs having suits against them, filing for insolvency (not bankrupcy) etc etc. If it was a large firm parliament would be in trouble. At the same time they vote themselves hugh pay rises (60%!) have arranged splendid pensions and expense accounts while telling the rest of us under two percent pay rises and cuts in pensions.
The word corrupt comes to mind but that may be too strong. I truely believe it is time to start again and clean the place up.
What really upsets me is that I love the freedoms and privelages of living in Britain and I feel I am watching my country and what it used to stand for being destroyed from the inside by inept people who are solely in it for themselves.
What are the electorate doing about all this, they can only vote for who is standing and, in my opinion, one party is as bad as the other.
I am not a Jeremiah as I have been called before, I am sitting here with a feeling of helplessness and frustration, and what am I doing about it, the same as everyone else..... nothing!
