How would You, go about raising The Standard of this Country, to be able to call it 'Great Britain' again ??

What would Your priorities be ??

Eee! by gad Lass?? - You are a little 'Gem'!!
Does my 'Body and Soul' good to see an opinion given, that so many othere's would not 'voice'-- Yet so many would agree!! --"IF ONLY" is my poem that I had published. I will have to include, when I can. As I always state, Why Hide The Truth??

Hi Joe, I Totally disagree, that You are on Your 'soapbox'-- What You state, is in actual fact, The Truth!!
One must bear in mind, 'The Way' We were brought up??
Honest, Respectful and Disiplined --To be 'Responcible'in Family Life and to 'Purchase' a Home!!--- But!! As the decades go by, The Standards that knew, have since been 'Destroyed'--- The outcome now being, that the less one does, the more one will receive 'assistance' -- I.E.
If one's income is only just, 'over the Limit'?? No help/assistance is available!!-- For those just 'under the limit' --free rent and Free Council Tax!!
Question!!  Was Our upbringing -- Wrong ??

Good on ya Joe,you tell `em girl
your every word is true

We, the bewrinkled elderly and hard of hearing, the frail, decrepit and poorly sighted, having endured affliction by sundry pestilences visited upon us along the tortuous pathways of life, have resolved ourselves to be worthy and most deserving of certain considerations and courtesies from the Society of our creation.Not in the manner of Condescension, Grudging Privilege, or poorly disguised Patronage under sufferance, but as: -

‘Absolute Rights of Entitlement in Perpetuity.’

Therefore, Be it Known to All Men by These Presents, The following Rights and Privileges are hereby bestowed upon all, who, by effort and determination, crowned the fruits of their labours in achieving the alleged Golden Age of Five and Sixty Years, and are now enjoined to fully exercise those entitlements hereunder defined, but not restricted to:-

I totally agree with you both.  On watching BB it only show?s the level of knowledge (or lack of it) with our youngsters these days.  They don't seem to know our countries history i.e. Is Ireland in England and is Wales
a separate foreign country?
One had never heard of Shake spear? Half of them didn't know
how to make a bed?  Let alone cook!  What an earth is this country coming to?  I find it hard to understand a full conversation from some youngsters as the whites talk like the blacks, all our music is mixed up with black music (am I aloud to say black?  Horrendous crimes being done by mostly whites, drugs, knives, guns etc.  [/size] [/size] [/size] [/font] [/tt] [/tt] [/tt] [/quote]

hello Jo-ann
I agree about all of that, but there are some lovely young people too,and it is a shame they  are all tarred with the same brush.I know from experience that they dont want to pay into pension funds,because we did and look where it got us !
I still say the system needs a very bid overhaul

could it be that the money came from somewhere else for the museum phoenix like the lottery ?
