Cameron’s Behaving With The Arrogance Of A Dictator

Politicians are able to keep talking whilst thinking of something to say.

I am a Labour supporter because I am greedy –
Greedy for a Britain that is fairer, kinder and more tolerant.

When newspaper editors go down the path of fear and say I dare not report it because rich and powerful people are involved, then we lose a free press and the right of ordinary men and women to know what goes on in the corridors of power.

Due to the Tory Government’s policies the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.

The Tory Government is at its wit’s end, nor has it taken them a long time to get there .

David Cameron’s trade mission to China backfired spectacularly when it started putting British jobs at risk.
UK bankers travelling with Cameron said they had been so impressed by low-tax, low-regulation Beijing they were considering closing their bases in the UK and relocating there.
Mr Cameron had boasted the trip would bring Chinese firms to Britain and be a huge boost to business.
But there are now fears that it could end up being a shocking own goal that helps China more than us as firms flock to the Far East.

Cameron and the Conservatives failed to win an overall majority this year so he’s leaving nothing to chance.
Cameron wants to cut the number of MPs from 650 to 600 and is making out it’s a generous money-saving gift to taxpayers.
Most of the disappearing seats will be those of Labour MPs.
This is a shameful attempt by the Conservatives to rig the next election in their favour.
Cameron wanted to cut the number to 585 until it dawned the extra 15 would wipe out MPs of his Liberal Democrat buddies.
Cameron’s behaving with the arrogance of a dictator.

ConDems Sack 27,000 NHS Nurses

My doctor told me to take things easy.
I did – and I got the sack.

If the doctors knew a little more about religion,
And the clergy a little more about medicine,
It wouldn’t matter which you consulted,
As long as you had a good nurse.

What do vampire doctors say?
Necks, please.

In 12 months the Mid Staffordshire Trust, which oversees Stafford and Cannock Chase Hospitals, spent £1.4 million on locum doctors and £2.1 million employing agency nurses.
Why?
Surely it is cheaper and makes more sense employing regular full-time doctors and nurses?

If you are known to be seeing a shrink you are deemed to be going round the bend.
But if you are going round the bend and resist seeking any help you are deemed to be perfectly okay.

My doctor said to me: “What fits your busy schedule better – exercising for one hour a day or being dead for 24 hours a day?”

Hospitals for critically-ill children face savage budget cuts in the latest betrayal from the ConDem coalition.
Millions of pounds will be slashed from the budgets of Britain’s major children’s hospitals.
Great Ormond Street in London, Liverpool’s Alder Hey and Manchester, Sheffield and Birmingham children’s hospitals are all braced for major cuts.
Health chiefs warn of “extremely serious” consequences for the care of critically-ill children.
David Cameron promised there would be no cuts to frontline NHS services.
This is another example of his broken promises.

Hospital waiting lists will rocket as 27,000 nurses are axed by the ConDems.
The job losses – the equivalent of shutting six major hospitals – will put vulnerable patients at risk, with waits for operations stretching from the present 9 to 18 weeks to beyond 36 weeks.
Another broken promise from the lying, scheming ConDems.

Work Is A Luxury For The Rich

Young people nowadays, imagine that money is everything, and when they grow older they know it.

Of money, wit and virtue, believe one-quarter of what you hear.

There is nothing more demoralizing than a small but adequate income.

I hate banks aggressive marketing –
I know a guy who stole £10,000 in a robbery and they asked him to open a savings account with it.

Honesty is incompatible with amassing a large fortune.

Work is a luxury for the rich and a curse for the poor.

A rich man’s joke is always funny.

Never invest in anything that eats or needs repairing.

The trouble with a fixed income is that there is no such thing as a fixed outgo.

In business, you don’t get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.

Whoever has the gold makes the rules.

There are two times in a man’s life when he should not speculate –
When he can’t afford it, and when he can.

At the end of the day, all money gets you is a better place to watch television.

Among the things that money can’t buy these days are the things it used to.

Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of others.

If I made twice as much money as I do, we could afford to live as we are.

Virtuous Women Have Moments Of Weakness

Never leave hold of what you’ve got until you’ve got hold of something else.

He who hesitates is probably right.

The wheel that squeaks the loudest is the one that gets the grease.

There is always a quicker way to do it.

It is a simple task to make things complex,
But a complex one to make them simple.

Self-interest blinds some people and sharpens the eyesight of others.

Statistics clearly show that most family problems are relatives.

Experience may not be worth what it costs,
But we can’t seem to get it for any less.

Never postpone enjoyment because there is no time like the pleasant.

Heroes have intervals of fear, cowards moments of bravery and virtuous women moments of weakness.

There is a big difference between giving advice and lending a hand.

Town Hall welfare workers who once kept a friendly eye on pensioners are now much too busy catering to the demands of ethnic minorities.

Some people go through life not knowing what they want but feeling sure they don’t have it.

Some people stop to think and forget to start again.

Those who don’t ever complain will never be pitied.

It’s better to have a morning after than never to have had a night before.

How Can Men Who Know Nothing about The Working World Rebuild Our Economy?

What scares me most about this Government is that they have no experience of the working world.
David Cameron and George Osborne both left university and immediately swanned off to work for the Conservative Party.
Cameron carried pencil-sharpeners for John Major.
Osborne never even had a paper round.
How can men who know nothing about the working world rebuild our economy?
None of them have ever started a business.
None of them have ever employed anyone, or filled in a VAT form, or laid awake at night worrying about bank loans.
They are work virgins who fled to Westminster the first chance they got.
Cameron and Osborne know nothing of work.
They are not grafters.
They are not business men.
They are soft little career politicians, cosseted by expense accounts, staff allowance and chauffeured cars.
(Tony Parsons)

12 Million Animals Are Suffering And Dying In Laboratories Every Year

Support wildlife, throw a party.

A hen is only an egg’s way of making another egg.

Nobody has ever seen a giant squid.
Many people have spent thousands of pounds trying to see a giant squid.
We know they exist because we have seen dead ones.
But nobody has ever seen a living one.

Around 12 million animals are still suffering and dying in laboratories every year despite an EU pledge to phase out tests.
Animals are cruelly shut away in cages then carved open, injected or forced fed drugs in the name of science.
Many are poisoned to death while others are left with agonising tumours, multiple organ failure or broken limbs.
New figures show only 100,000 fewer animals are being tested since 2005 when 12.1 million were locked up in labs.
Apes, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, pigs, rabbits and rats all suffer agony and pain before death.
In 2005 the UK was cited as one of the worst offenders for testing.
And we are supposed to be a civilised, humane society.

Millions Of Poor People Face A ‘Spiral Of Despair’

Millions of poor people face a “spiral of despair” under Tory welfare cuts, Dr. Rowan Williams the Archbishop of Canterbury warned.
He said: “I feel very anxious… A lot of vulnerable people are worrying very deeply about what’s ahead”.

It’s a skewed view of life when to save money and cut the country’s debt, the Government is encouraging university students to incur huge arrears to provide the nation with educated, skilled professionals able to line our coffers in the future.
Surely, as some students are currently required to attend no more than a handful of lectures a week, it would make sense, with the exceptions of medicine, dentistry, veterinary science etc., to up the work rate and cut university degree courses from three years to two?

140 Women In The UK Die Every Day From Smoking-Related Diseases

My dear, when you stop smoking and use a nicotine patch –
Stick it over your mouth.

My first New Year’s resolution is not to smoke any more.
My second is not to smoke any less.

Pregnant women in the North are almost nine times more likely to smoke than those in the South.
One in three women expecting babies light up in Blackpool compared to just one in 25 in Richmond, Surrey.
Smoking-related lung cancer deaths are highest in Middlesbrough.

140 women die every day in the UK from smoking-related  diseases.
Smoking increases premature ageing and wrinkles.
Smoking is linked to lung cancer and mouth / throat cancer.
Smoking doubles the risk of having a stroke.
Another condition most commonly caused by smoking is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
This claims more lives than breast cancer annually and the rates are climbing three times faster in women than in men.
Smoking levels have been falling since the early 80s but ten million adults in the UK still smoke and every year about 114,000 deaths are recorded from smoking-related illness.
Of these more than 50,000 or 140 a day, are women.

Live Like It’s Heaven On Earth

A man who knows little suspects much.

The words of the wise are like torches to guide us through the tunnel of life.

He who laughs, lasts.

In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.

To be good is noble, but to teach others to be good is nobler.

If you want people to think well of you,
Do not speak well of yourself.

Sometimes you have to leave before you realise what you left behind.

It’s the man that works when there’s nothing to do that gets to the front.

There is a big difference between what we say and what we think.

The wise man makes hay with the grass that grows under the other fellow’s feet.

When people are free to do as they please,
They usually imitate each other.

No one has a better command of language than the person who knows when to talk and when to keep quiet.

Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.

When a man walks into a room he brings his whole life with him.

We create our own destiny every day we live.

Sing like no one’s listening,
Love like you’ve never been hurt,
Dance like nobody’s watching
And live like it’s Heaven on Earth.

I Don’t Care How People Treat Me

A feminist is a woman who likes men to know that she doesn’t like men.

If you’re going to be a failure, you might as well be a success at it.

Whatever makes me tick needs winding.

I’ve bought a book on witchcraft so I can get to know my sister-in-law better.

If you can see light at the end of the tunnel,
Then you are looking in the wrong direction.

A man’s got to do what a man’s got to do.
A woman’s got to do what he can’t.

I wish that people who have trouble communicating would just shut up.

I’m all for women’s independence, as long as they do it in the privacy of their own home.
(Overheard in the Kings Arms, Mitcham)

Work for the Lord.
The pay is not much, but the retirement plan is out of this world.

Baldness is really mind over matter.
It doesn’t matter if the person doesn’t mind.

Air pollution is no threat to my sister-in-law.
She doesn’t stop talking long enough to take a breath.

I don’t care how people treat me, as long as they do.

My sister-in-law bought a baby alarm and still got pregnant.

What do Rupert the Bear and Kermit the Frog have in common?
They both have the same middle name.

Eighty per cent of married men cheat in the UK, the rest cheat abroad.

Buy old masters.
They bring better prices than young mistresses.
