Times Are changing

Permalink 04:13:15 pm, Categories: News  

Ive been in the UK since the end of January and realised that the world here is not the same as the one I left only months before. There is a serious under current of hate stirring up and generally people would have thought in the past of Racism. But its not its purely directed at the Government for letting things fall apart so quickly. Im no expert but there is some major problems which seem to be totally ignored by the government. Schools and medical services are overrun. Crime rates are sky high and rocketing and Government sit there doing nothing. Makes me wonder why. But the truth is all I can see is a country selling out its Population for personal gain. Things may not seem as clear as day right now. But Tony Blair who is looking for that first European President position how can you secure such a job?? Unless you can get support of other countries.. maybe a lot of Ex-Eastern block ones maybe?
Truth is as a British Citizen Born and bred I and my fellow country people deserve better. If the country gets to the stage of civil war I hope every MP that has made this mess get what they deserve. You are in a
Position of responsibility not a position of self gain. I didnt vote for labour like many others but the fact that most people didnt vote is a major problem but the truth is no-one has any faith in the politicians they are all as corrupt and self obsessed as each other. Someone get me someone we can believe in PLEASE!!

Either way the damage done with the present government which involves leaving troops stranded for years in Iraq and Afghanistan and no clear strategy to exit is beyond me. But then to sell its population to europe well all I can say the tax increases these idiots are creating here will only end up with either the civil war breaking out or more likely the same as the government of the past with the “brain Drain”
Similar to what happens in the Philippines with its medical staff seeking higher salaries. This is happening in the UK and increasing yearly.. why does it effect the country so much??
Simply because you cant fill he void of experience. Yes you can create new recruits but that is something else that no-longer exists in the UK there is no Apprenticeships and there is no backing for school leavers. I would advise anyone these days in the UK to look at the bigger picture and where they want to be in the future. For me its the Philippines with my wife and children. But there I will begin retraining and studying to generate extra incomes by working overseas at least 3 months of each year.
You may think i sound a bit argumentative or negative but its the opposite. I just wish there was something I could do to fix this UK problem but the elections are too far away and there is no opposition worth putting an X in the box. We are SOLD OUT whoever takes power because change means decisions and no politician will risk being unpopular. There is talk about the new budget not being hard enough.. the problem is nothing to do with budgets its to do with immigration and asylum. 800,000 Polish
people arrived in the UK in under 12 months thats just crazy and doesnt include all the other Eastern Europeans with free rights of access. I know Tony Blairs answer to this previously was that we could work in Poland etc..But what the village idiot either doesnt understand or doesnt care about is its a salary of less than £300 a month there!! With the Brain Drain starting again in the UK the high level jobs worldwide will be taken by Expats who are distancing themselves from the UK and the way its become.
I am more proud to be part of the Philippines than being British all I feel from the UK is sold out and
betrayed and every person ive spoken to since my arrival feels the same.

We live in Cebu and at the moment im hoping between the UK and RP for work. But everything we do will be put into the blog so others can avoid pitfalls but also gain useful information.
