I know what's it like to be made redundant because one company took over another and decided to cut staff by 600 as they no longer needed people with knowledge or passion for the product they were selling, it's hard and it's heartbreaking to think you put your all into your job and believe in the company, then pooof all is gone!!..That was 2 years ago, and I am still without a job as are alot of my ex-colleagues, as we are of maturing years and apparantly on the too old to employ list...scrap heap! So, yes Mick I do understand

All of our money goes overseas, either for natural disasters or helping with poverty, education, etc. All of our jobs are ending up in China, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan, etc. In the meantime the people in the US are suffering, we have lots of homeless on the streets, starving children, lack of education, etc. And where does all the money go? In the Politicians pockets of course! They let immigrants into the country and just about pay them to do so. They get more benefits than the US citizens. The same with the illegal immigrants. The white US citizens have become the minority! Everyone seems to have the attitude that they cannot make a difference or they just don't care and think of themselves only. The large companies take millions off of the consumer, pocket the money and offer very little for it. They control the country. Whatever happen to "We the people?" It is now "We the government!" |

We have here an American-based (Australian) multi billionare (Murdock) in charge of most of the worlds 'media' trying to buy-out 'BSkyB'. His British chief Rebecca Brooks and her partner in crime Andy Brooks have been 'spying' on British government, celebs and the general public for years. They are/were allegedly bribing Police (and God knows who else) for personal and comercial information and all the while, playing being housguests and close friends of the present Prime Minister. The PM even gave Poulson a 'top' job in Downing Street against repected advice.What information about our Allies has this man (and his paymasters) passed to others? We have seen 'cover-up after cover-up', all (or some) of it now floating to the surface. Had Murdock been a 'Russian' this would have been one hell of a James Bond plot! The Security implications involving the PM, his government, the Police and the Royal protection Squad in this emerging 'scandal' have not seen the light in this country since the Profumo Affair of the 60's. Is this the end of this Government and if some opposition MP's have recently recieved jail terms for 'minor' expence fiddles are we about to see more and more cover-ups and disapearing evidence? Watch this space on POE because you here first! |
