Who Would Disagree With This Senior Citizen?
A long rant but we have heard this so many times from others so is he wrong?
OH BOY, DOES THIS RESONATE!
Written by a senior citizen.
It's difficult to disagree with the 72-year-old man who wrote this letter. He has had no reply.
To: David Cameron (Prime Minister) & Ed Milliband (Leader of the Opposition)
You BOTH Worry me! (in fact, both of your Political parties worry me!!)
Over the last three years, you both have been turning this country into a place that I no longer feel at home in, or feel part of.
I watch you in Parliament, sneering at each other, and acting like children!!! (and if you were my children, I would be ashamed of you).
Years ago, aged 15 at grammar school, we had similar "Yah-Boo" debates in the Fourth Form. We quickly grew out of it when we realised that the real world was different. When will you two do the same?
What an example you set the viewing millions!
Although you would like us all to believe that you are putting the needs of this country first, everyone knows that NEITHER of you are doing that. You are more interested in scoring points off each other. Do you somehow think that will impress people and get you votes this year? WRONG !!
What is achieved by all those shenanigans in Parliament, is denigrating our once-great nation in the eyes of the world. You would NEVER see the German politicians doing that. They have recovered so wonderfully from WW2 by hard work and IMAGE - being careful never to run down their own country in public.
Your Parliamentary debates seem to be all about YOU as individuals, and not about what you are doing for this country!
You are not listening to the people you are paid to govern !
I am seeing the deterioration of living standards, but according to you, playing with statistics, we are doing better than most countries, yet the gap is widening between the "haves" and the "have-not's".
I see our hospitals under-staffed, yet I see multi-millions of pounds being sent in aid to other countries, before attending to this country's needs! Are you quite sure that our precious aid-money is applied to where it is needed, and not funnelled off to despots' bank accounts in New York and Zurich?
I see the "selling off of water rights to foreign interests. WHY...? You go to great lengths to tell us that water is a finite resource & supposedly, we must ALL be careful with how we use it.
The Carbon Tax, (which we all KNOW is just another tax) will make NO difference, to carbon emissions at all. It is a tax, which in spite of all your arguments FOR it, you are doing alone, because other major countries DO NOT BELIEVE in it.
Let's talk about Multiculturalism. People have come here from other countries, for a better life, for more years than I have been alive. Pre & post- war immigrants came for a better life, settled in and became wonderful contributors to this country. They have contributed to the rich diversity of Britain and many have fought FOR this country. They were glad to become U.K Citizens and they had NO hand-outs ....they worked hard for everything!
I have never before had a problem with immigrants coming here.
However, I DO NOW!!!
Please tell me why we have areas in towns all over the country, where police WILL NOT GO, for fear of their life? Please tell me why we can no longer have religion in schools for fear of "OFFENDING" someone? Please tell me why Christmas celebration is no longer allowed in some schools for fear of OFFENDING someone? Please tell me HOW Christmas decorations in stores might OFFEND someone? Please tell me why we have to have segregated days in public swimming pools for fear of "OFFENDING" someone? Please tell me why we allow RADICAL Muslim clerics to demand Sharia Law when our religions would never be allowed in THEIR country ?
Please tell me why our laws need to be chan
