Time for PM to wake up
10:00am Monday 14th May 2012 in Letters
WE are fed up.
So Prime Minister David Cameron thinks he knows how the British People are thinking and he has heard our voice after the elections. Here's my tenpence worth – or 12p after VAT!
We are fed up with paying 20 per cent VAT.
We are fed up of having to live from hand to mouth to support our families, because we want to work when others have made a career out of signing on.
We are fed up by applying racial tolerance to minorities and have to accept their rights and religious beliefs when they will not accept our beliefs, culture or laws.
We are fed up of listening to racially-motivated people who chant hatred in our country, then plead that their human rights are being abused when we want to get rid of them.
We are fed up of bailing out other countries for billions of pounds when we have a multi-billion-pound deficit at home.
We are fed up of giving millions in aid to countries that bite the hand that feeds them.
We are fed up with politicians telling us to cut down on our spending and do the opposite themselves.
We are tired of paying exorbitant petrol and diesel prices that are crippling all of our industries.
We are fed up with police picking on motorists all the time just to get revenue in when true crime is ignored.
We are fed up with Europe telling us what to do in our own country .
We are fed up with not being given the choice if we want to stay in Europe or not.
We are fed up that this once great nation is now at 17 in league tables of countries to live in.
Wake up Cameron, your rhetoric means nothing. We want action.

I know he will not act on my email, he is too ignorant to see things that are staring him in the face, but I think his time is limited.
I would like the Government replaced with independents so they have no party agenda. However, because there is such a lack of political interest in this country, I don not think this will happen.
Cheers
John

If the historically evolved party system is now finished, is it not time to create alternatives, of which UKIP appears the largest and most serious.
What is your view on that?

Party politics provides a very profitable, comfortable life for anyone with reasonable knowldge and ability, and prepared to work their way through the system.
I recall Mae West's answer to the guy who told her he was thinking about going into politics. She replied: "Yeah, I don't like work either."
Sure, we need a new politics in this country, and throughout Europe. Have you any
suggestions?
