ePetitions

Just in case you believed the hype put out by the eurocrats we have today been reminded of reality by the increase in Italian and Spanish bond rates to close to 7%, the magic number which brought about the bail outs for Greece, Ireland and Portugal. Gold has risen to an all time high and the Swiss have had to reduce interest rates to stop the Swiss Franc rising even further whereas the rates for German bonds have fallen to a low not seen since 1990. Part of this has been caused admittedly by sentiment in the US following the drop in their consumer spending in almost two years and the fear that they are about to experience a double dip recession. Things are looking a little black at the moment and yet the EU pretends that nothing is really wrong. It would be risible if it were not so serious. How could we have got ourselves into a position where these [expletive deleted] people have any control over our lives. How could we have got into a position where the last Labour government entered into contracts in our name for an IT system for the NHS estimated to cost £7billion on which £2.7billion has already been spent and of the benefits of which the Public Accounts Committee is uncertain and recommends the government to think about using the remaining £4.3billion elsewhere. Whilst on the crazies who govern us how could they have introduced a system whereby a convicted murderer - Mr Levi Bellfield is able to claim £30,000 as a result of a low grade attack by another prisoner. It is a hot and sticky day in London and I know all the woes of the world can be laid at our day, if you believe the BBC and other similarly minded people, but I don't believe we ave done anything to deserve these idiocies. The solution is in our own hands and we should take it. ePetitions are a good beginning.
