Good government? Yeah, sure...where?

There are a few things bothering me today. They are the Post Office scandal and the idea that farmers must pay Inheritance tax. Now, it is beginning to show the government has lost its grip on the economy and hasn’t got much of an idea how to get out. Let’s take the Post Office scandal, we have here a clear mismanagement issue and possibly some bad influence by the then government when purchasing the computer system. Anyone thinking if there were brown envelopes flying about? Of course, there is no evidence and even if there was a smell they would absolutely deny any involvement. Listen to Paula, ‘I didn’t know anything about the system we purchased. I am not guilty and am a priest now, you know’. In the meantime those that were accused are dying still waiting for compensation. Some were offered much less compensation than they lost to the Post Office. I cannot help thinking the Post Office were pretty fast taking sub-postmasters to court and even forced some to sell all they had but now our dragging their feet. People in charge know how to hide their mistakes very well.

Secondly, the plans for Inheritance taxation of farms. The government keeps saying only a few will be affected. Oh? That’s news, how many is a few? Two, three, two thousand? What precisely are the levels? No-one knows, not even the government it seems. What a shambles and us idiots voted for that! Same as the Americans, we were so fed up with the previous rabble, the infights, backstabbing, changes in PM every other week that we were only to happy to vote for the opposition party but forgetting they are even worse. It seems there is no-one capable of governing this country. Not even the Civil Service because to be fair it is these who have brought a lot of trouble onto our backs. Due to sheer unwillingness to properly advise the elected wonders. Some say it is the Civil Service that governs this country, we do not need MP’s. We might laugh at that but the signs are such it might be true.

In the meantime the PM stumbles from calamity to calamity. But of course, not knowing what a woman is, is problematic. Although I think he does because he is married to one and if he didn’t know she’s a woman why is he PM at all? He needs a nice room where the walls are coated with sponge. No, I think he says these things without thinking whether he needs facts. Take the ‘There are enough homes for all’. Well, he hasn’t visited the various offices where there are daily queues to see if houses are available. In my neck of the woods homes are desperately needed for the younger generation who want to step onto the housing ladder. Some homes, flats mostly are being built, but what did we learn? They are for people from Birmingham. What??!!? Why? We have enough here waiting. Birmingham will have to look for their own solutions. But I suspect we will be saddled with immigrants, into an area where there is already little work opportunity. Lets wait Mr PM, me thinks your days might be numbered.
