Amongst a trillion things that have successfully irked me this Christmas and New Year, the most amusing has been the two main political parties and their constant bickering and subsequent attempts to reinvent themselves exponentially according to what they think the public want to hear and what the others have said or inferred.
Cameron with his "Tories are the party of the NHS". It's the latest of the Conservatives cunning plans to a) try to prove they are the party of the "ordinary" people and b) to try to dispel any Labour murmerings in that direction that the Tories are going to destroy our precious NHS.
Of course we all know that the NHS is overfunded, overstaffed with bureaucrats and extremely badly run by people that know nothing of medicine (not to mention an army of illegal workers who seem to be overlooked). Millions have been squandered and wasted over the "Spine" national database and the technology they do have in place is inefficient! The National Health system is a magnet for foreigners that want free health care and they come in their
thousands to take full advantage of that.
By far the most entertaining story of today is the news that Ed "the bigdick" Balls has announced that primary school children will be able to learn
Mandarin and Arabic in a bid to keep up with other countries. Which countries, Mr Balls? They don't teach primary school children in Spain Mandarin and Arabic... What planet are you on?
I expect we can look forward to another few months of these ridiculous, moronic attempts at reaching out to the electorate. The fun will be in seeing how out of touch these politicians have really become and to what lengths they will go to to see each other's reputations besmirched!
I will still be voting UKIP. The important issue to me is still the EU and the subsequent return of our democracy to the people of the UK.
As for Anjem Choudary and his ability to enjoy the freedom that a democracy brings by purposely planning a march which is engineered to piss people off...... may I just ask where the line between free speech and treason is drawn?
