 |
|
Subject: The Silent Majority
This is a long letter but take the time to read, every word rings true.
To David Cameron (Prime Minister) & Ed Milliband (Leader of the Opposition),
You BOTH worry me! (in fact both of your political parties worry the hell out of me!)
Over the last three years I find myself becoming more and more fearful of the pair of you, and between you, you are turning this country into a place that I no longer feel at home in, or feel a part of! I watch you in parliament, and no, not just the two of you, but every politician that I see standing up in parliament sneering at each other and acting like children! (..and if you were my children, I would be ashamed of you all ... What an example to set!)
Although you would like us all to believe that you are putting the needs of this country at the forefront, neither of you is doing that. You seem more interested in "one-upmanship,"in scoring off each other, and denigrating each other, to the detriment of this country and its people! It seems to be all about YOU as individuals, and not about what you can DO for this country! It is fast becoming a place that I do not recognize, as the place I always thought, was the best place in the world to be. But no longer!
You are not listening to the people of this country I am watching the deterioration of living standards in this country, (and according to you, on a world stage we are doing better than most countries ... REALLY?) ... and yet the gap is widening between the "haves" and the "have-nots". I see our homeless on the streets, our hospitals under-funded, and understaffed, our health system is an absolute mess and a disgrace ... and yet I see multi-millions of pounds being sent offshore, in aid to other countries, before attending to this country's needs!
I see the "selling off of water rights to foreign interests. WHY...? Especially when you go to great lengths to tell us that water is a finite resource, and supposedly, we must ALL be careful with how we use it, so that we ensure we have it for the future ? A Carbon Tax,(which you know is just another tax ) which will make no appreciable difference, to carbon emissions AT ALL! A tax, which in spite of all your arguments FOR it, you are doing alone, when other major countries will not and do not embrace it, or believe in it ! All that it will do for this country is put working families and small businesses on a downward spiral - what planet are you on if you think that the tax we must pay will make even a scrap of difference to the effect of the carbon tax on people? Anyone can see the holes in that argument! Do you really think we are that stupid?
Let's talk about Multiculturalism...people have come here from other countries, for a better life, for more years than I have been alive (I am 72 years old !) Pre and post war immigrants came for a better life, and settled in and became wonderful contributors to this country ... all have contributed to the rich diversity of this country, and some descendants have even fought FOR this country, and they have become U.K. citizens and were glad to be…and they had NO hand-outs from our Government either - they worked hard for everything! I have never before had a problem with all, or any, race of immigrants coming here. However I DO NOW!
Please tell me why we have areas in towns and on large estates all over the country, where police do not, and will not go, for fear of their life? Please tell me why we can no longer have religion in schools for fear of "OFFENDING" someone? (The latest little gem is that they are not having or being funded, for chaplains any more, but for Counsellors!). Please tell me why religious Christmas observances are no longer allowed in some schools for fear of OFFENDING someone? Please tell me HOW Christmas decorations in some stores might OFFEND someone ? Please tell me why we have to have segregated days in some swimming centres for fear of "OFFENDING" someone? Please tell me why we have some RADICAL clerics demanding Sharia Law in this country when if we were in THEIR country, this would NEVER be allowed? Please tell me why our laws need to be changed, so not to OFFEND someone ? Please tell me why we are fast becoming a MINORITY voice, in our own country, because of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS? Please tell me WHY Britons cannot legally wear a bike helmet covering their head in a bank and yet it is OK to wear a Burqa which covers the whole of the face? And please tell me WHY when those people who want asylum here can wreck our detention centres and STILL be accepted here?
What does that say about just who and what are this government's priorities ? The British people that I speak to have genuine concerns about becoming a second class minority in their own country and the reasons for it are some of the above. Are you so blind that you cannot see this? And no, I am NOT racist! If I did not like Catholics or Protestants would I be considered racist ? Of course not! Why is it that if we object to what is happening in our country we are immediately labelled RACIST in an attempt to shut us up ?
We are fighting radical Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq, are we not? I hear you say, yes, but the Muslims we have here are "not like that." Well how would we know ? Do we hear ANY of them coming out and speaking AGAINST radicals? I haven't, have you? Islam is not compatible with ANY of the values that we hold here in Britain! Are not the experiences of France and the Netherlands examples of that? Why do you think it would be any different here ? We even have a British born "radical ", whose message is that Britain WILL become a Muslim country under Sharia Law and that “we had better get used to it. "
Will both of you grow some balls and start sticking up for this country and its people? We are the people who put you where you are and PAY you to look after our interests ! And you are NOT doing that by any stretch of the imagination! I would appreciate an answer from both of you, if only to convince me that once again I am not talking to a brick wall! In case it has escaped both of you I would like to remind you that in the U.K. Government is FOR THE PEOPLE ... OF THE PEOPLE ... And BY THE PEOPLE ... Never forget that because you sure have up till now!
Let us get this out to all - please keep forwarding and if you have people in the press or if you know any politicians let them know that we are dissatisfied with their behaviour! |

Indeed, Blair quite deliberately opened the front door and put out the "all welcome" mat, for ideological reasons, to "rub the Right's nose in diversity".
Well, that's one way of putting it.
Likewise, I think I could quite happily rub Blair's nose in a nest of giant hornets. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

The biggest disease on the planet is hypocrisy.
Here's just a small example:
The big wigs where I live park on junctions and bus stops.
Obviously people who do this in most other places have their cars towed, get fines with points on their license, and then have to pay to retrieve their vehicle out of the compound.
This kind of hypocrisy apply's pressures on already struggling people. (So what are the bankers doing enslaving folk?)
More problems = More Laws ETC.
These doods are legal gangsters intested in big deals, shafting the public purse - self preservation.
In my local town we have 6 fukin book makers, God knows haw many Bingo halls, and an Ann Summers shop displaying sexually dressed mannequins. This sh/ts going south!
People fly around on scooters giving people parking tickets which keeps the books afloat.
---------------------------------
The paradox of our age.
“We have bigger house
But smaller families;
More convenience, but less time
We have more degrees, but less sense;
More knowledge, but less judgement;
More experts, but more problems;
More medicines, but less healthiness
We have been all the way to
the moon and back, but have trouble
crossing the street to meet
the new neighbour.
We built more computers to hold more
information to produce more
copies than ever,
but have less communication.
We have become long on quantity,
But short on quality.
These are times of fast foods,
But slow digestion;
Tall man but short character;
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
It’s a time when there is much in the window,
But nothing in the room.
His Holiness The X1V Dalai Lama
What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books.
