Not only has it been a busy old week for me, but also for that wooden clog wearing Felix Baumgartner, who skydived from a height of 24 miles! Apparently, just before he jumped from his little capsule he shouted ''I can see my house from here!''
During his freefall, Felix reached speeds of around 820mph, which by a strange coincidence is exactly the same speed a British M.P hits whilst putting in a claim for expenses. Shortly after parachuting back down to terrafirma, Mr Baumgartner held a press conference for the waiting ....err.... press. Felix said that during his descent, he was ''spinning perilously out of control, drifting in and out of conciousness and wasn't sure if he'd survive.'' I guess now he knows what it's like to be David Cameron!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been reported that government borrowing is still increasing despite all the austerity measures, or what normal people would call cut-backs, implemented by the Nasty Party. Now personally, I can't see where they're going wrong....
1.They've slashed the welfare budget by billions, hitting hard the most vulnerable in society. Home Helps cut. Day Care Centres for handicapped people - closed....etc
2. They've stood back whilst: gas, electric, water rates, fuel, food and consumables have gone through the roof, whilst ordinary workers pay has been frozen or slashed to the bone [that's if they're lucky enough to still have a job].
3. Multinational companies have been let-off paying mega billions owed in tax arrears - that's if they actually pay any tax at all, like: Starbucks, Next, Boots, Amazon - to name just a few.
4. They've handed contracts worth billions to foreign companies whilst putting our own workforce on the dole - even though our products were of a superior quality and offered better value for money.
5. They've handed over taxpayers money to fund Syrian ''rebels'' only to now realise what we all knew from the very start of the conflict - that the so-called ''rebels'' are infact hardline islamic terrorists trying to overthrow a legitimate government by starting another jihad.

6. And they've even given a tax-cut to the richest people in the country! ..... and we're still up to our necks in it. Maybe it's time the poor should start thinking about tightening their belts again??

Last week, Aaron Cawley found himself getting 14 weeks banged-up in the 'Big Hooose' as Jim McDonald always called it. Yes, whilst 'mullered' during a football match, he ran onto the pitch and slapped the young, strapping, 6ft 3in Sheffield goalkeeper who, as you'd expect, immediately crashed to the floor as though a grand piano had been pushed from Felix Baumgartner's hot air balloon and landed on his noggin.

| 14 weeks in jail for this. |
Now, contrast that sentence with the one handed out to the career criminal who ripped the walking crutches from Angus Wittall, aged 15 - and proceeded to beat him half to death with those crutches leaving him bleeding as he lay on the floor at local park in Northamptonshire. The 'powers that be' decided his attacker needed no more than a warning!!!
 |
| Just a 'warning' for his attacker! |
So, that's 14 weeks in jail for slapping a 100k a week footballer - versus a ticking-off for beating someone half to death. A cynical person might say the law in this country is only here to protect the rich and famous in society..... I couldn't possibly pass comment.

As per usual, at the end of each rant .... or erm... blog, I bestow on you all a spot of much needed wisdom, in my universally trumpeted 'Wise Words.'
''Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.''
Spaseeba!
Spaseeba!
