    is a lot of people that think America is the land of milk and honey but really there is many parts that could compare with a third world people living on the streets through no fault of their own? illness medical bills could wipe your way of life out in an instant many who had good house and standard of living could be taken away and put you in debt for life i am happy here and i did have the chance many years ago to live far away from home but never took it and looking back i made the right choice to stay?jp

    Its a very admiral post you have put together there m8, But this what Jimmy has posted is not all our yesterday,s this is Britain today the Britain our youngster,s are growing up in not the Britain we grew up in you mention your 20yrs at sea i could walk into my local pool tomorrow with 100 young lads that would give there right arm for the chance of having 5yrs at sea. Or for that matter 5yrs work anywhere this isn't a question of knocking your country its a question of knocking them that have run it into the ground. And allowed the unskilled labour market to be taken over by immigrant,s. I think you are wearing blinker,s to be honest if you cant see what is in store for the next generation you weren't left a legacy that our youngsters will never be left because by your own admission you had a working life as i did and all the pluses N.H.S. ETC.......... In your post, These will slowly if allowed be demolished over the next ten years or so. This is a lost generation there are young kids coming out of education taking up different skills and vocations it stands for nothing yes i agree what will be will be and it doesn't bare thinking or worrying about what these grand kids of ours will have to go through because we cant change it. We cant as much as i would like to turn back the clock 40yrs. But don't be distracted from the fact that this country has gone down the tubes. Not by what ordinary people complain about or give out bad vibes regarding Britain. Its all facts of modern day life {example} What Jimmy has posted. If we are to believe that the great is going to be put back in Britain by bringing the countries deficit down over the next 5 to 10 yrs. Sorry m8 it wont. We need the 4 main parties to join forces stop heckling with each other sit around the table and get this country back to work via trade. That's why we enjoyed all them years at sea world trade. And fed a lot of industries that have disappeared or are taken over by cheap labour from Eastern Europe. Like it or not that is a fact in modern day Britain. I will finish on one very important point. We are about to host the Olympics brilliant we have hosted World cups {Football} {Olympics} Any sport you can mention under the sun. We have 3,000 troops that will have there P45 in there **** pocket redundant after the games we will have Sam's posted on residential rooftops we are told this evening there will be 2 Chinook helicopters flying over the Olympic stadium. Why Britain ? Because consecutive governments not joe public have got involved in to many meaningless conflicts wearing a Union Jack on there shoulder for all to see. Those same politician's want to realise what they have done for Great Britain. {Knocked the hell out of it} Not the British people. Regards Terry. Ps i wont mention the banker,s contribution to the demise of this country the government are doing that for us investigating there dodgy dealings or i will be here all night a little different than in our day?

    Capt Kong: the internet is constantly monitored for "key words". Hitler, N****r, c**n, bl**k ba****d etc. so that your posts may well provoke a visit from the Racial Enforcement Polizei ! Today's football trial farce is proof that we can now be arrested for anything a third party may think they heard us say, whether truthful or not.
    George Orwell would surely turn in his grave if he was to see how we are now ruled by a junta of incompetents who pay more attention to queer marriage than getting this country out of the present mess. Media censorship, cctv cameras everywhere, mobile phone location (so they know where you are) license plate recog. informing on neighbours, to name a few, are all signs of a coming totalitarian dictatorship, probably based on some kind of Mediaeval mumbo-jumbo to which we will all have to conform. The first stage is already here, i.e. any criticism of minority (at present) cultures is immediately jumped on, the miscreants vilified as 'Raayciss'. British cities are being rapidly turned into moslem ghettos and no go areas. The media connive at this cover up. One only had to watch the disgusting mayhem on TV last year to realise the cameramen(persons?) were frantically trying to find white rioters. I keep getting forms asking me if I speak urdu or vietnamese (for religion I put JU-JU), Why do they want to know? Are they thinking of putting up another mosque?, I bet nobody has told these morons in the Council that only ******s can do this work and will require housing. I once spent 2 years in Jeddah and there's no way I am going to get woken up at 0500 again by some maniac wailing about allah. We got rid of our colonies because they didn't want us there. What the hell did they come here for if they hate us so much?

    I have mentioned this before and still of the oppinion that it is because the majority of our generation lived a good life of being born just at the end of the war or shortly after when labour started to be in demand. This allowed for most of us to purchase homes and educate our kids. Where we failed is that most sat back with a smug look and just let the politicians do what they wanted and this is the result. Not only are the new generation being screwed from all quarters so are we. I know it is slightly different here in Oz but not that much. The modern generation most of them can not afford to purchase a house and to many of them are either living with parents or in sheds to survive in some cases there are family's living in cars because of a housing shortage caused by our generation sitting back saying look how much my house has gone up in value. Never could understand that mentallity. Result similar to yours is that now we are advised to take out reverse mortgages. They give us a small percentage of the value of the home and it is deducted when you die from your esatate after years of interest has been added. Along with that if you need to go into a nursing home it costs you heaps especially if you own your own home. We have let this all happen because we are the ones over the years that have got the politicians that we deserve through complacency and so wrapped up in our own little world. So in a way all the whingeing about todays hardships can be firmly placed at our door. Just take a step back and have a good look at what we have done. Ended up with just two main political parties that it takes a lot to compare one from the other and elections are a joke now as the only change is the fecking name of the party. I just hope (as I have said often enough before) that the next generation have a lot more balls than ours did. It is no wonder that so called refugee's are swarming in to our country's because they are after a bit of the pie before it finally gets eaten up.
    That's the way the mop flops.

    My thanks to Brian for this site.

    WE have only two political parties for one reason, the polis want it that way. Here in Oz we have how to vote cards on polling day, preferences are given from one party to another, nopne of this first past the post stuff. The result, the two major parties can if they wish make sure the samller partries vanish as was the case with the Democrats and One Nation. The Greens may well go in couple of years time, though that would not be such a bad thing. Democracy is supposed to be government of the people, by the people, for the people. As far as I can see it is about getting your snout deep in the trough anf making sure it stays there.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
