Re: Has this country gone mad?
Well,
I were told London were paved wi gold like, an I went down there wunce to see. Ah reckon they took it up cos they knew a northerner were comin though and didn't want to get it too dirty in case me clogs weren't Sunday best.
Other than that I've travelled mind, spent over a year in Doncaster area for a start - even met royals and the odd commissar. Funny old thing - get rid of one lot and an identical set take over.
Many posters on here enjoy the luxury of having some say in their own lives, whereas the horde tend to find it easier to do as directed and willingly hand all decision making over to authority. As a result some end up with a dozen kids and annual trips to Kenya to help them destress from having to go to collect DHSS benefit - but an awful lot live modestly, claim rather less than legally entitled to, and are worse off under any system than those of us who enjoy a good lifestyle.
There's never been a system that was actually fair as far as I know, I encourage all members at this time of year to reflect on how life might have gone - every government is composed largely of clowns, enjoy your power to avoid their worst excesses!
Happy Christmas to one and all, as I believe Tiny Tim (the Dickens version, not the chap with the ukelele from 40 years ago) used to say. |
