MANY A TRUE WORD..
So, here we are five days on from the General Election and, if anything, the question as to who `governs` the country is more confused than ever. One thing`s clear, however, and that is the blatant determination on the part of Gordon Brown and his New Labour outfit to hang on to power for as long as they can.
That is despite losing close on 100 seats at the election, which represented a clear rejection of their `performance` over the past 13 years. Last Thursday, the people spoke -`Enough is enough,` they said, `Time for change, time for Gordon and his cronies to go.` But they`re still here!
The situation we`re in reminds me of rats in a sack. Quite often I feel we`re heading for third world country status, if we`re not there already. To illustrate the point,I agree with the guy on the radio on Saturday who said that we never voted Gordon Brown in and now it seems we can`t vote him out either.
The real sadness in all this is that at least another two of our servicemen have been killed in Afghanistan since the Election, which has all but gone unnoticed in the welter of political infighting and self-interest. We`re told they are `working hard in the national interest.` As yet another pig flies over my roof.
