ARE POLITICIANS TRULY REPRESENTING US, THEIR ELECTORATE?

When we, the British people, elected the coalition at the last G.E, (although we obviously didn't know we'd get one), did we elect politicians who have the concerns of their electorate at heart or just a bunch of politically motivated, big business arselickers?

While the elite seem to think that the most pressing issues facing Britain today are selling off the Royal Mail, relaxing the Sunday trading laws, taking an ever more threatening line towards Iran, and backing anti-government rebels in Syria, the general public's main concerns are jobs, sky-high utility bills, rip-off train fares and record petrol prices - and not getting Britain involved in any more costly Middle East wars in which their children do the dying.

We in Scotland at least have the benefit that we can vote for the SNP, the only Scottish party, at least the only party not controlled by their London masters, to look after our demands and needs.  What is important to us in Scotland is community, the NHS, education, jobs and living in a fair society where people are rewarded for their hard work, but not to the detriment of society in general as in the case of the bankers and millionaires with off-shore tax havens.

I believe that while now of us like to pay taxes, they are what we pay to live in a just and reasonably humane society, albeit, one where the elite and the London establishment have to much power.  A vote for the SNP, means that we vote for people who have the greater good of Scotland at heart and are more interested in that than pouring money into Zionist led wars in the Middle-East.

HURRAH, HURRAH, A QUICK TRAIN IN ENGLAND!

We're skint and those daft fucking politicians are planning to spend £40 PLUS Billion on a quick train between London and Birmingham.

What utter nonsense.  We know that these projects always, always run over budget and are late.  So we will be lucky to get it by 2025.  It's projected to get to Scotland and the north of England by 2050.  Bollox.  It'll never arrive and it will be like the Channel Tunnel, the M25 and the Olympics as major projects that favour the south of England above everyone else.

Let's get independence and make our own decisions!  Fuck me, even Boris Johnston is against it!

HOW MUCH ARE THESE OLYMPICS REALLY COSTING?

The cost of security for the Olympic Park is now costing us £250,000 PER DAY!

We were told that the Olympics were for the whole country.  Well Boris and his crew have made sure they're not.  Only one Scottish firm and two Welsh firms who tendered for work, have been successful.  These games which after all, only last for two weeks are the result of politicians' need to be admired.  Yes, what a great guy I am, I got the Olympics for Britain.  I wonder how many palms were greased to get them here.  The National Lottery is supposed to be paying for some of it, but while they pore money into London other charities in other parts of the country are lacking in funding, particularly now that the economy has shrunk.

Oh, but we're told look at the re-generation of London.  Great, we now have two multi-millionaire football clubs vying to get their hands on the Olympic stadium, so that their overpaid prima donnas can fascinate us with their skills.

All for, I repeat, two weeks of games.  it is sickening!

LONDON MAYOR KIDNAPPED BY MAD ROAD SWEEPER!

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT FOREIGN EXCHANGE-THE EXPERTS TALK SHITE!

 

As some of you may be aware, through a bit of bad and good luck, we have purchased a property in the Costa Calida in Spain, near Mazarron, (available to rent shortly at keen prices)!

Now that is not the point of this post, but as we have a really good 'rent to buy deal', I have 18 months to move the money across to Spain to complete the purchase.  Some of you won't, I am sure, be aware of the fact that if you do it through your bank, the fuckers, will screw you on the exchange rate, so it is better to use dedicated foreign exchange companies.

As you would expect, I have, ploughed the Internet, taken a plethora of info in, about how the exchange rates will work.  It makes a big difference to me because it could make a difference of around £20k in the purchase price, depending what the Euro is doing.  In such times of flux, one is looking for a bit of good info.

I've come to the conclusion, however, that they don't know what the fuck they are talking about!  Since I was in Spain in May, the Euro has fluctuated between 1.12-1.14, fuck all of a difference, yet I am bombarded daily, (by my own insistence granted), with all this info about the pound being influenced by unemployment figures, inflation, factory output, consumer confidence, etc, etc.  All of which it seems to me, means fuck all!  You would be better sticking a pin in a bit of paper.

I remember meeting my Brother-in-law in the City of London, just after the crash and seeing brokers, pissed up to their eyeballs at lunchtime and thinking to myself, "fuck me, it's no wonder there was a crash"!
