WELL, Christmas is long gone. Our political leaders countrywide and our local council leaders have been to their holy places and wished goodwill to all.

Now, they can get back to continuing with the ‘great con’ of the century, engineered by David Cameron.

He has told us of the great debt we are in and what is required to solve the problem.

Of course this mysterious debt, as always, must have been caused by others and not us, he says, and we are finding out the measures he is implementing to solve the problem.

What a great favour he has done for our local authorities too. They have seized the opportunity of a lifetime and, using their mastery of cunning and deceit, have taken the people in their specific areas along with this con, and started to implement their methods of recovery.

These include taking away from families, the old, and sick and workers.

There is one thing for sure, though, and that is that any wealth siphoned off the community will go towards making sure there is enough in the vault to cater for their high allowances and expenses, and for any further luxuries that may be needed for their comfort.

We are very good at condemning sinister leaders of other countries, but when we look around our own people in power, from the top to lower levels, it can make some foreign authorities look quite angelic.

I feel quite ashamed of them and very concerned for future generations.

I hope this wonderful, beautiful country of ours can be saved from those in power.

Surely the day will come when they realise the hurt, torment and suffering so many human beings have had to endure through the greed of those powerseekers.
