Seriously guys…
Alot of the pensioners I know didn’t even turn the heating on prior to the ridiculous price increases, it’s just how they live, and I think that is very sad indeed. Unfortunately things are far more unbelievable than we like to admit. Our youth could learn a lot from the older folks; however what is not surprising is the growing the lack of respect in both the young and old and it’s getting worse. Society, our communities as we once knew no longer exist you only have to visit your local park to witness the decline in manners, waste, not to mention the general decay of our streets, roads. It’s quite sad to see, we simply cannot live amongst each other in this way, generally people’s attitude in the wild is one of hate, spiteful, anger and this melting pot is boiling over into something we have yet to endure.
I mentioned means testing but even that is not the solution, while I think it would be a better system, it’s not. The answer is a government to grab these greedy barstools, energy firms, utility firms, councils, by the b@lls and take them out. Then again, the cheaper it is, the more they will come, the more we assist, the more they will come, the more we do nothing the more they will come…unfortunately it’s started and it will take a government with a spine to stop it from getting worse…..reduce taxes, slash benefits, deportation of crims, illegals on mass….and that is before we even address the problem of our own youth!
There are days when I think the UK will awaken from this stupidity and there are days when I think we are sleepwalking into oblivion…
UK had lost it's way a long, long time ago...
