Won’t vote for the Conservative Party? Not that impressed with the opposition? Feel as though no political party represents you? Or there is one it is not going to win enough seats to make any difference? Finding it difficult to view politics with any trust or truth? All of the above? It is difficult to comprehend but I would advance the theory that a vast majority of our citizens fell the same way. How has it come to this? How did we end up living in a “democracy” where we we have no say in our own system? We are lead by figures who have little or no understanding of the lives of the people they govern or represent! Yes that it is a broad sweep of a statement! By the time any help is is given to us it is already too late and it is never enough. We see our taxes being wasted day after day, spent on useless projects or on projects that never happen. The Tories are appeasing us with money for potholes! Assuming the councils are checked for spending this money on doing that, it is an impossible task. We all know how bad the disrepair of the roads are and it has been going on for years and years. We have all seen the pathetic attempts to fill in the holes and how quickly the holes reappear! Since the snow there is a pothole near the main Kettering roundabouts that you would need a rope and climbing equipment to get out of.
This is minor compared to the myriad of issues that beset our island. The list is long and will grow longer. We live in a country where the prevailing mood is one of anger , despair and unfortunately apathy. Who can blame us for being apathetic, we are exhausted by the continual drop in our standards and services. We just about have enough energy to keep our lives going! We we do protest the news media no longer reports it of gives it minimal coverage. Apathetic we may be but I have a feeling that the current unrest has only just started?
Wendy and I have been continuously ill since the beginning of 2023 as all the bugs that were had taken a back seat to Covid. The worse one is the “stomach” bug. to say it was debilitating would be an understatement. The head cold has left me with a dry cough I can’t shake off ! Yet I am still better off than most and certainly anyone fleeing hunger, persecution, racial cleansing, war, or any of the many other hateful things that make you abandon your home. I am not going to write what I think of our governments immigration bills , suffice it to say I am with Gary on that one. What a storm over nothing that was!
Stay well
