Letter to my MP on the present #BrexitShambles..

"Dear Ms Whately
I don’t write often to my MP, but in view of the complete shambles that has become of the UK’s departure from the EU, I have to put ‘finger to keyboard’!
I believe very strongly that there now remains only one ‘Brexit’ option acceptable to the 17.4 million people who voted to leave the EU and that is for the UK to leave as soon as possible and deal on World Trade Organisation terms with the EU until new trade (and other) agreements can be made with it.
Whilst the EU has never truly negotiated with us in good faith - and our negotiating stance has been at best feeble - Parliament has repeatedly failed to make firm decisions on - or move towards - our departure and it is clear to most people that a great many MPs, not least a number of Conservatives including the Speaker, are trying very hard to prevent any meaningful Brexit at all.
Despite the protestations of the Remain camp, both sides and all voters knew exactly what they were voting for - one side viewed it as desirable, the other side as the dreadful risks of leaving!
Like 17.4 million others, I voted to leave the EU and all its institutions, to reassert the supremacy of the UK’s courts and Parliament, to be able to trade freely around the world and to 'manage our borders’ to best suit our immigration needs. Only a ‘clean break’ Brexit will do these things.
We must give notice to the EU that we will be leaving on our own terms, ask perhaps for a short extension period for both sides to make final preparations and then we must simply leave.
If Parliament continues trying to thwart the will of the majoriity, I think the two major parties will be punished at the next General Election and at any European elections in which we may have to take part. Furthermore, any betrayal of the Referendum decision will create social rifts and tensions and an anger that will dwarf anything we have seen in many decades.
Yours sincerely.."

HomeCare that doesn't care..

An example of truly dismal customer service..   Chris O’Shea Group Chief Executive Centrica plc Millstream Maidenhead Road Windsor SL4 5GD   13 th  February 2021     Dear Mr O’Shea   British Gas HomeCare – Agreement No. xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx   I am writing to you with regard to the service being provided by your British Gas HomeCare division.   We had a new boiler fitted by British Gas in 2001 and have paid for British Gas HomeCare to cover Central Heating, Plumbing and Drains and Home Electrical since then, without a break as far as I can recall. Currently we pay an annual subscription of £290.76 and an excess of £50 per visit for the security of knowing we will have a range of domestic breakdowns attended to promptly.   We have used the service a number of times and usually found response times, outcomes and the professionalism of your personnel to be satisfactory or better. We have recommended the service to friends and relatives.   On January 3 rd  this year we reported to HomeCare - via

March moans..

Heavens above! What a week.. Brown strutting around the EU trying to persuade all and sundry that the calamitous state of affairs in the UK is all the fault of everyone else and that we should all spend ourselves stupid in a bizarre and doomed attempt to climb out of the abyss. In denial of the fact that the UK is likely to get screwed hardest of all by the current crisis because of his failure to monitor the situation, profligate spending and abject incompetence all round. And all this in the face of the comments by the Bank of England that the spendfest has to stop. A government report (Rose) is expected to suggest primary school kids learn more about blogging and using Wikipedia. How sad. Another example of New Labour's mantra that IT is the answer to all society's ills and the key to some brave new world of educated, employable, highly-skilled and rounded citizens. I'd suggest 'illiterate and inarticulate computer nerds'. Brown envelopes stuffed with used fivers

Miserable May

Well, just six weeks or so on from my first whinge here and many of our politicians can now be seen to have had their snouts in the trough for years. How can somebody claim mortgage expenses for 18 months after they had, presumably, paid off the loan without realising it? Why should Mr Silly Sod the British Taxpayer stump up £2,600 so Shaid Malik can have a giant TV and home cinema system or McKay and McBride make twin claims? Hazel Drears claiming on three different properties in one year and trying to dodge CGT? 'Flipping', moat cleaning, private security, doing up your house on the taxpayer! It truly is mind-boggling.. I suspect that British pigs are feeling pretty fed up at the company we are accusing them of keeping.. Perhaps every MP should face a reselection meeting before the next (and very overdue..) general election.. And then there's the Labour peers on the take? The House of Lords that ZANU Labour is so keen to reform! Rant over - almost.. I look forward (with
