The Government Gravy Train?

What a rotten state of affairs we are living through. Just have a read of the following:-

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following employee statistics:-

29 have been accused of spouse abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
9 have been accused of writing bad cheques
17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year
And just to top all that they probably have the best 'corporate' pension scheme in the country!! Which organisation is this?


It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us inline.






And now we are starting to discover the mammoth dishonesty of many of their reimbursement claims. How in Heaven can you justify claiming for a moat? The more I discover about the present MP's and their claims, the more I am convinced that the lunatics are running the asylum!

I feel we British people are far too content with whatever is thrown our way. We are prepared to join a queue at the drop of a hat. We don't mind having to wait interminable lengths of time to be seen by specialists. The drop in standards in our transport system (less trains, a bus service which has rapidly diminished - and all for higher fares.) Dustbin collections being threatened to become a once every two weeks collection. A reduced fire service. An ambulance service which requires more money for less service. An education service which costs the earth and produces less children educated to the standards we knew a couple of decades ago, and more children unable to read and write. Isn't it time that we took the bull by the horns and threw out this rotten government? Isn't it time we complained vociferously to our MP's about anything, and everything that we seem content to moan about to our friends and colleagues? Come on the Great British Public. Gird up your loins - get out there and cause a fuss. Nothing will improve by quietly moaning to your friends! Give the MP's something to think about. Rattle them out of their torpor. Show them that they are there to SERVE US.
