These posts swallow up copious amounts of public money!
There is a war in Iraq which has nothing to do with us. There is another in Afghastlystan which history tells us is unwinnable. There are people who have determined that they will never work whom the state happily supports.We pay out astronomical sums to house illegal immigrants who should be on the next plane out.We pay for the feckless and the dishonest. We encourage teen pregnancies with the highest benefit payouts in Europe. We fund bureaucracy which is totally unnecessary at unprecedented levels. We pour money into the European Union so that it can better undermine our personal freedoms.
Incidentally, the government is unable to fund care for our elderly; those who have often worked for 50 years and some of whom have fought a war for us.
Hospices are desperately needed but the few that there are, are largely funded by charitable donations.
What a sick and pathetic bunch our mainstream politicians really are.
