Stabbed in the back Options

[Turin Machine]

What part of care and compassion for the sick, elderly and the vulnerable residents of West Berks does this council not understand ? on the back of last years cuts we now have swinging and damaging cuts in provision in everything from meals on wheels to shopmobility ! I'm sorry "call me Dave" but you really don't understand the damage you are doing and the real resentment that is being generated by the population at large. You will not, cannot be allowed to get away with it anymore, expect heavy losses in the next round of elections when the people that this council and central government have betrayed goes to the poles.

Anyone who is as outraged by these cuts as I am shouls lobby the counil NOW ! and make things change, please, before its too late.

Angry of West Berks

Think it all adds up to us needing far far less government and being made to stand on our own two feet. We still haven't eliminated poverty etc., as User23 rightly points out. Trust God alone and look after yourself, no one else is going to. Mrs T was quite right, as we can see very clearly now, 'there is no such thing as society'.

Still it is nearly time for the yearly reminder to come on the telly, A Christmas Carol, do we really want to end up back to times similar to as portrayed by Dickens?

Dickens was a master story teller. The soap operas of the day. Just like George Orwell, knew exactly how to play the audience!

I could go out today and find the grinding poverty that Dickens portrayed. If you are a child in such a disadvantaged circumstance there is no way out. Even with the billions we pump into the welfare society today.

It really does boil down to taking responsibility. Most people want the best for their children and want to make provision for ill health and old age. Trouble is, over the last 60 years we've assumed that 'government' will do it on our behalf.

Silly example, several months back, Dentist asked if I was insured, yes I said, pay through my wages - called national insurance. Aah no, I meant private.... Lets be honest, this 'private' insurance is simply a means for the dentist to extract rather more than he deserves.

Charity begins at home, once you've sorted yourself, then you can give a bit to help others if you feel they are needy. Think it was Norman Tebbitt who suggested that the Good Samaritan must have had money to spare. He got pilloried for that, have never known why, because its so obviously true.

Generally when they don't want to - the truth often hurts.

That is without doubt, but it is also arrogant of me to think everyone should be at least as good as me at being human.
