Hence why no Government with any sort of spine will have the front up to really challenge the out of control welfare bill , lets not upset my voting demograhic or I will lose my seat .
Some talking head on the radio earlier blaming the Pension System and its drain on the finances , obviously straight out of a recent meeting looking for excuses at the chaos .
Wish I had the chance to explain I have paid my PAYE and NI all my working life , and if I default HMRC are quick enough to demand my back payments due over the next year please or else threats .
Paid into this system for 52 years and some nobody on air time thinks I am the criminal .
I am giving up on common sense from the people in power rapidly . |

This fraud still will not address the chaotic Welfare Bill in the UK we face and rising .
John Healy as per all Politicians said a lot of hot air but said nothing at the end of waffle .
Biggest issue is Welfare and another dodge the questions asked and fudge it .
Starmer as much as he was usless did try to reform welfare but was shouted down by his own Back benchers , think of our voters mun so lets not upset them .
Good news is a jar of gherkins is coming down it price though , beyond belief and you cannot make it up even from this lot , [Post edited 30 Oct 2:36]

Wales playing in Edinburugh and Dublin back in the day , been there on a good Weekend trip to follow the rugby , it has been great to visit them places and enjoyment all round .
Has Cardiff become a target for a few beers and a very long day on the lash for the daffodil wears masks , it does put me off going up there irrelevant of ticket prices .
Thank goodness there is no drinking on the terraces here , others will disagree of course . |

40 plus years working in local industry , now a relic of our past proud heritage here sadly .
Continental and 12 hour new shift patterns done for me , including the driving when after a bad shift I had to still be alert and safe to drive home over a distance .
Yes my body clock has been in turmoil since , I did escape at 60 albiet with the Pensions dramas that affected many of my colleagues , but it fell at a good time for me though .
Now stack shelves in a local supermarket on a part time basis , shifts do run late on occasions , but the pressure is off and I go home without my mind in a spin as was before .
Touching 70 next year and I suppose I still want the discipline to work even today .
Homes under Hammer and Bargain Hunt on tele are the alternatives .
Just keep going until the the time comes work is impossible would be my motto . |

I will get a hundred notes back as a token gesture , thanks for that but I am sure policies will be in place to claw that freebie back through other taxation written in the small print .
I really do applaud the tax rises on these awful pop up vap shops though , evereywhere .
Taxation on online gaming and the Companies involved , yes again from me .
The big Banks might see it as another nail in their massive gains in their profits and say I am out of the UK soon , Amazon to follow suit too .
Will Russia be happy with another £10 billion from the UK taxpayer into Ukraine .
Stock up on pasta , bog roll and bottled water , the end is fast approaching . |

His next move will be to appease Europe or The Don moving forward , allegedly he has started to back track on his original freedom of movement wish , lets wait until the next Election in 2029 and that voting pattern and result .
It also being reported by The Beeb that John Healy in his budget address , been leaked will cut taxation on gerkhins and marmalade sales to the customer .
Just wow as a decision and call whist gas and fuel spiral out of contol .
Spitting Image writers would be in their element on Politics these days , loved that show .
Sure the Lawyers and Court Orders would see an end to that humour now .
That taxation decrease will save customers £ 21 per year on their bills .
Do some of these people live in the real world , maybe ask Angela Raynor first . [Post edited 27 Oct 2:38]

Go off on a bit of a tangent here and as I have banged on so many times , i will repeat .
My late Mother had a domestic originally from The Phillipines whist in Morriston , and also her partner was a cleaner who between them had to clean up human mess and vomiting so the Ward looked top notch for visitors .
Decent and honest immigration is necessary and I applaud them applicants here to work .
Sadly Border Controls and endless background checks are the get out clause for any freebies on offer will be in the meanwhile gladly accepted .
Them carers had a flat in Morriston and arrived every day on time , even asking for more hours to clean the mess we make post op , other locals will be glued to their duvet . |

I had an app albiet dated these days tracking that GB Milk Race through Black Mountains into my main road viewing point .
First noises I heard was a helicoper followed by outer riders of Plod to keep safety .
It was very wet that day , the riders had ponchos on , what struck me was the speed they were going at even on my steep downhill viewing point from the front door .
Any collision I thought really could be a proper accident waiting to happen .
Three times around Constitution Hill , maybe a pleasant cycle into Mumbles could be more scenic and friendly .
Choice of either as a finish line for me Joes or good luck to Verdis opening up soon too . |

Prepare for the run out of bog roll , pasta and empty shelves soon .
These Politicians are covering their rear ends , we warned you just in case so no blame can be attatched to me , Streeting another Politician looking after himself if it goes all wrong .
The latest COVID report has laid into Bojo , Hancock and the short sighted Cummings now.
Strange their responses have been deafening to fight their corner on that chaotic time .
My local weather reporting suggested tsunamis and tropical rainfall will wipe out all this area , stay at your own peril or go to higher ground .

Tour de France is a great spectacle on TV coverage and the die hards who follow many tours around Europe well done to them .
Film , The Programme really did have thinking of what could be happening with some of these riders , machines or humans , the hill climbs on some routes would undoable .
GB Mllk Race few years ago had a final stage finishing on The Kingsway after the riders had to get up Constitution Hill and the cobbles , many got off and run up , far easier .
A Grand Cycle race in this area these days will offer the same challenges everywhere . |

If ever a quango as highlighted by the freebies in Cardiff Bay then I give up on them .
Can any Politicion read any room with the taxes and cost of living issues or look the other way so I really need appease my core voters so others will foot your bills whist on nonsense benefit claims .
Squeeze the lemon till the pips squeak comes to mind on taxation and going forward in the near future , good luck Andy there .

July 1966 and on a family holiday to Jersey , Dan Dare flights trom Swansea Airport direct .
Sitting on the beach and holidaymakers with transistor radios clapping and cheering as England won the World Cup that day , I never got that fun but still a memory .
Fast forward to October and my old man was so visibly upset we as a family drove up to Aberfan a few days later , all went a bit why am I here moment , he was so angry at it all .
Still remember his reaction to that sight of carnage and my whatever moment .
When I see the tributes my dads glare at me still will live with me forever .
I will take a trip up to the tributes soon , to my shame I have not so far .
Even to keep the memory of my old mans memories of that day . |

Sadly how many people are being taken for dodgy phone calls , I have been there and a heads up to HSBC Fraud team who did query an authorished payment from my account I had no idea of this transaction ever and stopped immediately .
