The Big Society

[Jim Brady]

I think that there are now something like 500 food banks around the country.People using them are not necessarily out of work "scroungers" but people in work who are finding things at the moment tough and people who have worked all their life now being put out of work.The amusing thing is David Cameron was asked the question the other day "what did he think about these food banks and the amount of people having to use them?"His smug reply was "This is what I meant about The Big Society where we all help each other".Did he forsee this situation coming through his politics when he made that statement?
Regards.

There is No excuse for Cameron to have food banks, created by his Cuts because the Country has no money so we have to cut back on everything.
The ball Bag has enough money to provide 53,000,000 pounds plus of Aid and Military Equipment to Islamic Jihad and all the other Islamic Fanatics who are rampaging through Syria and have threatened again today to kill all Christians in Syria. They Must Die, one Islamic said on Al Jazeera TV News.
These are the same fanatics who are backed by Al Qeada and the Taliban Terrorists who are killing our very own Servicemen and women in Afghanistan.
If the ball bag can supply the Killers of our own people with Millions of Pounds, surely he can afford to feed the people of this once great Nation that has been taken away from us.
Brian .....once more in despair for our Nation.

It is occuring around the globe I fear. Here in Oz the Salvoc are complaining that this year less has been donated by those with so those without may be serviced. It is estimated that one of the food kitchens will serve up to 1,000 Christmas Dinners to the needy and we are told we are a rich country. It has also been discovered that soem of the 'Charity' shops are sorting clothes donated and selling the best of it to other countries where they are getting more than they would at home.

I don't think anyone would argue with the immorality of some of the foreign aid being dished out when people are going hungry at home. What I hate is the smugness of the opposition benches when they heckle the present government over cuts rather than both sides rallying to sort out the mess. A party that allowed in four million immigrants plus however many illegal ones in a ten year period has done more to cause these hardships than anyone. Take away these numbers and we wouldn't have a crisis in housing, schools, NHS, etc. Hell, I don't think we'd have hardly noticed the recession.

If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright:

"I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates."

His mind sees things differently than most of ours do, to our amazement, and amusement.

Here are some of his gems:

1 - I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

2 - Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back.

3 - Half the people you know are below average.

4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

5 - 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

6 - A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

7 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

8 - If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.

9 - All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand.

10 - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

11 - I almost had a psychic girlfriend... but she left me before we met.

12 - OK, so what's the speed of dark?

13 - How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

14 - If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

15 - Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

16 - When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

17 - Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

18 - Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.

19 - I intend to live forever... So far, so good.

20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

We are and have given Billions in Aid to INDIA over the years, a few years ago we gave them five billion pounds and they went and bought Submarines from Russia with OUR money. Not ordered from Britain.
NOW I have just watched Russian TV , They said Putin is in INDIA selling a Massive Arms Deal to INDIA.
AGAIN India is using Our Money to buy Russian Arms.
All that employment for our people totally wasted by this Government.
So I guess Cameron means we are all [ except them] in this unemployment together.
As I once said, "Is Cameron a Nut Case or a Traitor to Britain."
.
Why does INDIA need Aid from us when it can afford to spend Billions of pounds on Weapons from Russia.???
Is Cameron MAD??, It is our, the Tax Payers money, Not his. So is he Stealing from us???
What is he getting out of it??
Is he on back handers one wonders????
WHY???
If I took money off my neighbour at No.11 and gave it to my neighbour at No.15, Do you think No.11 would object??, He sure would, that is what Cameron is doing, taking our money and giving it to some one else.
He is a Millionare, Now if he feels sorry for these countries would you not think that he would give his own money to help them out?
So why is he allowed to give Our money away, without our permission.??
.
I dont want to feed Africa, they should stop having millions of babies, food shortage solved.
I dont want to give my money to Pakistan, they also should stop having too many babies and stop building Nuclear weapons. Problems solved.
same as India, stop having milluions of babies, so we dont have to feed them so they can buy weapons of mass destruction from Russia with their own money. problem solved.
.
Surely Cameron cannot be so thick he cannot figure that out for himself.
When I was a kid at school 70 years ago we collected for the starving in Africa, It has never changed, the problem is they are breeding, more mouths to feed, the more you feed them the more they breed, so more mouths to feed, Dont give them food, give them Condoms. stop the breeding and maybe, just maybe, they could feed themselves.

Brian.................... who is confused about a government who doesnt know how to Govern.

just had an interesting phone call over this bedroom tax{was he sorry} i don't live in a very large house 3 bed rooms but the way this tax is worked out if you have visitors grand kids or family chances are no one can stay or visit? so i asked the person on the other end to turn his tape on and then i started questioning him first question if an mp has a two bedroom second house in say London is he exempt or will the tax come under his expenses{don't know his reply} as all pallaces are subsidised by the British tax payer are royalty exempt{don't know his reply} as we child mind for grandchildren if we move one would have to leave work and not contribute to the country? yes you quest it{don't know} then i asked this is not a racist question but if i wanted asylum in this country and the only accommodation was a house that they deemed to big would they be turned away{don't know} to which i answered you don't seem to know a lot do you????then i told him i had already emailed my mp and even he dos not think it is a well planned and thought out. now i will spend some of our eu tax pounds on taking this to Europe if they wish because this law is against my human rights civil liberties and as being white British born i will stand my ground for the under dog ME his reply we will get in touch after the holiday i wished him happy Christmas. what a tosser.jp

Good one John.
Sorry but I do not fully understand a bedroom tax,
What is it for,
Does that mean if I have three bedrooms I have to pay tax on the other two? If I use one for my office does that mean I have one spare bedroom and then if I use that one as Gym does that mean I have No spare bedrooms.?
It is only a bedroom iif it has a bed in it. So no tax , surely.
Have a nice one John.
Cheers
Brian.
