In the last week, two major energy companies have announced
huge rises in gas prices, despite their massive annual profits. We have Civil
Servants who can’t add up, and the education establishment has finally been
caught out fudging the exam marking, requiring thousands of children to re-sit
their GCSE’s. On top of that, the police are under the microscope following the
Hillsborough cover-up and we have arrested five Royal Marines and charged them
with murder for killing an aggressive enemy!
I don’t know what our politicians were expecting, but surely
if you send troops into a war zone where they could be killed, especially when many
of the enemy have donned friendly uniforms in order to murder our men, then we
must expect that some of the niceties and codes of conduct will go out of the
window!
Meanwhile our Government’s priority is not to tackle the
obscenity of rising energy prices or to refuse to obey the EU directive to
close down many of our power plants which could leave us once again short of
the energy the nation really needs; oh no, they spend their time discussing
MP’s pay and Gay Marriage!
It’s about time that Ministers took some responsibility and
at least attempted to run the country. It would also be nice if we could return
to a time when local MPs represented their constituents and were not led by their
self-indulgences and personal ambitions.
As it stands we appear to have voted in a political elite
composed of over privileged, chinless wonders who are residing in the place of far
better qualified people, who, given the opportunity, might just achieve
something for the nation, instead of themselves.
