Re: Sign of The Times!

I'd really hesitate to say people from one if the most deprived places in UK are greedy. Perhaps its only way they can get a treat for their kids or something they need for their home.

Personally I wouldn't queue up for a free goody bag, but I can see why people on benefits would.

However it has created 300 new jobs in the area.

Still the government is determined to continually give £billions in Foreign Aid. and neglect their own of people in the UK,where money is desperately needed.

They are aware that much of it is wasted, or ends up in the hands of rich people'

And another thing! Six of Britain's most notorious murderers were given almost £400,000 in Legal Aid

Can you credit that?

Shameful
I'm afraid that what these things demonstrate, especially those emboldened, is that the country is in an absolute mess.

Contrary to Joseph Stalin's assertion that it is all down to the SNP, it is in fact the fault of all of our politicians since the Second World War.

Money has always 'talked', but our leaders in Victorian days seem to have put the country first. Today's equivalents seem more interested in trying to show how generous we can be to the most undeserving causes.

I shudder to think what this country will be like for our grandchildren. Fortunately, I don't have any.
