So right now we have :<br /><br />1) The NHS still in a state of permenant "crisis" despite currently receiving more than £2,000,000,000 every single week. They are threatening bodies on the streets if they don't get the money.<br /><br />2) The Military are in crisis and desperately appealing for billions in funding to prevent that Mr Putin fella from invading, despite the fact the last big spending round resulted in them pissing £8bn on two useless aircraft carriers we don't need.<br /><br />3) The DHSS are in crisis, with the threat of cripples on the streets and soshul unreast innit unless deprived are paid to stay at home. <br /><br />4) The Police co-ordinate a plea to keep thier gravy train going with nasty little tactics like declaring they are no longer going to investigate burglaries due to lack of resources, whilst at the same time funding the rollout of ANPR faster than you can keep up with them.John Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437765041360086205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-75179981728875066132018-01-26T10:33:07.622+00:002018-01-26T10:33:07.622+00:00I'm an avid reader of this blog R.
