Then there is the NHS where the health chiefs have spent £10 million on advice for their own advisers as part of a £40 million management consultancy bill to implement the governments NHS reforms. If this was being done by a private company they would very soon be going into liquidation. Again this is people in senior positions that are completely out of control, spending large amounts of money that they have not obtained through work. But the latest mockery to the people of this country must be the headline is some papers that said that power bill will fall by £153, but the average utility payers won’t get any money because this is just a paper work exercise by Ofgem to make the utility companies look good. Ofgem has recalculated that the average yearly bill for the average consumer has been re- duced from £1,437 to £1,284 thereby saving £153. In the world of espionage this would be called smoke and mirrors. The police are also fiddling figures to make their arrest rates look good. Likewise on immigration the figures are disputed by both sides of the discussion, even the government don’t know how many illegal people are in the county, again we are not talking hundreds, we are talking in the hundreds of thousands. Is it any wonder that the political parties are getting worried that people and especially the youth are losing confidence and are not bothering to vote, and it still goes on, and it will continue to go on until the people in authority stop the double dealing and corruption at that top level Seymour You couldn't make it up Tory MP threatens to call police if more than 10 people turn up at his surgery Tory MP Richard Ottaway called the police when a group of 11 pensioners turned up at his surgery to deliver a petition. He claimed he was worried about being “murdered” by his constituents. I promise you this is true. Interestingly, Ottaway was knighted in the New Year’s Honours list for ‘services to politics’ Even more bizarrely, Ottaway has now threatened to call the police again if more than 10 of his constituents turn up at one of his surgeries: Why on earth aren’t the police warning him about wasting police time? Are they running scared perhaps because ‘Sir’ Ottaway is a good friend of Andrew ‘Plebgate’ Mitchell?
