A Thank You, from 2010………..

This is to say thanks, to my friends who said i should run for parliament, and i will always have their votes. But i’m afraid i’m a wee bit old for that. Now my Editor in Chief, Elizabeth has encouraged me to be a commentator or write a book, which i’m seriously thinking of, when time allows. But for now all i can say is thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Just remember a few things when watching the news or politicians on television, words my mother told me at a very young age ” Never believe anything you hear and only half what you see ” Words that have guided me through life, and always look beneath the surface, and when you think you can’t change anything, and you feel small, remember from small acorns Oak trees grow. And when you come to vote remember one more thing, it should never be for what they can do for me, it should be what will they do for the future of my children, and their children, or in many cases the future generations.

I know it’s difficult to choose between the three main party’s, who have become clone like, and a shortage of politicians who have the courage to stand up and be counted, especially against their own party. In fear of being demoted or even expelled as with the case of George Galloway, whether one agrees with his views or not. One has to admire his courage of his convictions and history is proving him right each and every day now. This country right now needs more people like George Galloway and the Tony Benn’s of the world, along with more independent thinking people, before we carry on sleep walking into a country run by clones and robots.
