WHAT a wonderful world we now live in.

We are led to believe we are one of the richest countries in the world, but the country is billions in debt.

The Government finds it impossible to balance the books with what they take in, against what they pay out.

The roads are in crisis along with the schools, the NHS and housing. Now on top of all that, the brainy ones are talking tough, and pushing buttons, talking task force to Gibraltar, reliving the rule of Margaret Thatcher.

We have aircraft carriers with no aircraft, a part-time army and a country, like the Labour Party, in complete disarray.
