The promised land
Jun 22, 2013 05:52:48 #
Over five thousand years ago Moses said to the children of Israel "pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land."
Nearly 50 years ago, Harold Wilson said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land."
Then Gordon Brown stole your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels, and mortgaged the promised land.
Now David Cameron has loaned my shovel to a third World country, (he hasn't realised yet that WE are now a third World country), raised my fuel bills, lent my money to a crowd of incompetent, greedy "merchant bankers" and increased Vat to 20%.
I am so depressed last night I called the Samaritans, they diverted my call to a call centre in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

Unfortunately, there is nothing to choose from when voting for politicians or political parties in the UK. They are all simply slightly different shades of the same vulture which is only out to feather it's own nest. For example, the expenses that they still pay themselves; out of taxpayers money: and the tax relief that they have voted in for the rich, i.e. themselves, and the ever higher taxation they levy on the working man.
As for Blair and Brown, they are the two worst things that ever came out of Scotland with Brown selling off the pension funds and Blair with his blatant selfish capitalism.

And you think it is bad now?
I can't see things getting any better in the next ten years, probably worse - fewer jobs and ageing population!
Have you tried to buy a British shovel recently?

And don't forget what that astute chancellor Brown managed to do, what every chancellor before never did and that was to sell the British gold reserves of at rock bottom price, Oh and rob the pension funds too.

Yes, I had forgotten about the gold reserves. It is no wonder we are a bankrupt country. Mind you, we can still send millions of pounds to third world dictators so that they can buy an even bigger Mercedes------------What! The money is for the poor and needy????
It would be better used in this country.

Vote for an independent. If there's not one you like, write under the list of names of your balot paper, "None of the above". It'll be counted as a spoilt vote but if enough people do it, then maybe just maybe they'll start to take notice.

Right now Arizona is trying to pass a legislation that would make it practically impossible for independents to run for anything.
