THE health service is on its knees. Police and fire services are also making heavy cutbacks, care services are virtually non-existent for our elderly.
So why oh why have I just heard on the radio news that the Government is to make a £100m aid package available to both Sudan and Somalia. Not only that, but HS2 seems to be funded by a bottomless pit, and for what – to save 20 minutes on a journey? Let’s face it, if you want to get there faster, fly!
MPs get a pay rise on a whim, The Houses of Parliament are to get millions spent to renovate them.
So when is this stupid Government of ours going to start looking after us?
