Hello and welcome to this first instalment of my blog. This blog serves only one purpose, to act as an outlet for my displeasure at the way things are preceding in politics.
My first subject of choice is the new proposals for council tax changes (or to you and me increases). This proposal would mean a re-evaluation of homes and an increase in tax if you have improved the value of your home by making it nicer, or extending it (I.E a conservatory) or if you have a nice view. There are many flaws in this idea, firstly the language used, what constitutes a “Nice view”, most views could be argued to be nice, obviously there’s countryside views, but what about in the city? Is a view of a nice new tower block nice? Some people could argue that point, and furthermore, we are already taxed for these things through the added value to the property that comes from the area. So this raises the question, why change a system that already works fine? Simple, there are so many “Non-jobs” in councils around the country now with titles like “Undersecretary to Child road safety advisor” now that the cash to pay all these people’s wages has to come from somewhere, and of course we, the taxpayer have to foot the bill, its things like this that really bring politics into perspective, we are no longer run by MP’s our prime minister and our local councillor, instead the power lies with Non-jobs who to make it appear they have a job to do have to come up with new ideas and initiatives to point to if their job position ever comes into question.
Stop Press: I have an addition to make to this first issue, I have just read about the Lockerbie bombers release and arrival in Tripoli, Mr Milliband (Foreign secretary) has described his hero’s welcoming as “Deeply distressing”, no its not “Deeply distressing”, its downright disgraceful that he was released, and even more so that on his arrival at Tripoli he was greeted like a returning hero, he should have been left to die in prison for his crimes, Life means life, not a sympathy release, because what happens if he recovers, the Libyans wont return him here to serve out his sentence, he’ll live out the rest of his life as a hero, for killing hundreds of innocent people, Hillary Clinton was right, he should never have been released, men like that deserve no sympathy, he should serve his sentence regardless of health condition.
