Once Upon A Time We Had a Gov' at Westminster.But now our Government

But now our Government resides in Brussels and is a bunch of unelected Commissioners.
Mandelson and Chris Patton were both commissioners, and with their monster pensions, from Brussels, Westminster, HoC., and the HoL., then again from Oxford University that man must be picking up some £5.000 a week.
I have been watching the BBC, "The Politics Show." Is it just me? or are all these people walking backwards to the very edge of a cliff? Think about these things for a while and see what answers you come up with.
FIRST: Back in the middle of the 1990s, there was 500.000, family farms in the UK. Today there isn't even 100.000. And then here in Norfolk, Suffolk and Part of Essex, there was at one time, 2000. Dairy Farms. Today there arn't even 200.
I can't tell you the figures, I've given up because whenever I have mentioned this in comments posted to on-line 'Papers, much of the time I get a reject. Except for the Express.
This, I believe is going to be one of the biggest disasters in years.
We have closed many of our Coal Fired Power Stations and now our Nuclear Generaters are on the way out. From where I'm sitting, I can't see enought time left to build any replacements. Which means we will have to rely on French Nuclear Power across the Channel. Or buy lots of candles.
As with the food, electricity is no longer in our control. Brussels has really got us by the BALLS this time. But then, it was always the plan by Westminster.
Yesterday I was talking with Barbara Lockwood, a pensioner from Hellesdon just north of Norwich. She is due to go to court again soon, to object about the increase in council Tax. In the last ten years or so, the Tax has increased by 130% but the pensions increase has been just 30%. The Old lady is refusing to pay the increase. And she is quite prepared to go to jail to make her point. Then again, they let Murders out to kill again. That is the Stupidity of our Politics.
I have been saying for some years now, that people just leaving school or colledge or Uni', should not pay any Taxation until they are earning at least £500. a week. That is what it costs these days these days to live. Then of course, people who are retired, and on a pension, would get the same treatment. But to get there, the welfare State would need a complete over-haul. And as with Westminster, I wouldn't let any Politicions within a mile of the place while it is being worked on, except for Frank Field. Thats the only man who knows what is needed.
Enough for now, but remember, this is your Country, the Politicians and the Civil Service do NOT have ANY power, only what you allow them. Any time you want to change
the Status Quo just let me know. It is only a simple manoeuvre.
Kind Regards, ATFlynn, "Norfolk's Mutineer."

It's galling (but typical) that Labour goes for the easy targets but allows the real criminal continue to rape the country - nay, the world.

Such is the power of mutual back-scratching which governments (US and UK) have found with corporations.

I believe it is called fascism, using Mussolini's definition.
