We are so poor in this country that \u201cresearch\u201d has revealed an increase in the attendance at SOUP KITCHENS\u2026.it is so sad that people have to return to the 1930\u2019s because they can\u2019t afford to feed their families\u2026this is what we are told\u2026and in the same breath the proposed high speed rail service from Leeds to London (which we don\u2019t need) will cost\u2026wait for it\u202680 BILLION !!!...\nSo let\u2019s take a closer look\u2026.the population of Britain is 64 million\u2026..so 80 BILLION would give EVERY person in the country 1248 quid EACH\u2026.the population of the WORLD is 7.1 billion\u2026I\u2019m not even going to go there\u2026\u2026. where\u2019s the money coming from?\n \nSpeaking of ridiculous amounts of riches being bestowed on the chosen few\u2026.we had a refreshing look at football\u2026in the shape of Accrington Stanley which has the least money to their credit in English football\u2026even the manager cleans the terraces and toilets\u2026.and the players and the fans are all keen to succeed\u2026AND they do it for the GAME\u2026..like all the sunday leaguers\u2026.GO THE STANLEYS!!...they have my support.\n \nContinuing from our chat last week about the \u201cflash for cash\u201d scam\u2026.there has been a court case\u2026.three Liverpool guys organised a coach trip to a football match and on the journey the coach was \u201cstruck\u201d by a small car\u2026.so much so that the driver never even noticed\u2026 and there was hardly a mark on the coach\u2026.HOWEVER\u2026this resulted in EVERY passenger claiming whiplash\u2026through the SAME solicitor\u2026when asked if the passengers knew each other they all denied it\u2026so after a scan of Facebook etc it turned out the guy driving the car AND all the passengers were in on the scam\u2026..the driver suspected something when he returned all the \u201cinjured\u201d passengers back to Liverpool and they all vanished into the pub\u2026.The outcome was that the three blokes responsible got jail sentences\u2026.BUT I think every claimant should have joined them\u2026it\u2019s FRAUD simple as that\u2026and the sooner our legal system gets a grip on this the better\u2026\n \nA big recycling plant in the North West has gone up in flames which brings back memories of the similar incident caused by Chinese Lanterns,,,,and are these firebombs still on sale? I hear you ask\u2026.OF COURSE\u2026can\u2019t expect too much of the overpaid health and safety buffoons\u2026.too busy banning conkers in playgrounds.\n \nConcluding with a delightful story\u2026.two little 9 year old girls have achieved the record for \u201cwing walking\u201d\u2026.these kids were strapped on to the top wings of two biplanes and flown around their local airfield\u2026their granddad was driving one of the planes\u2026.the girls were an absolute delight and did it to raise money and awareness for their friend who had a bad illness\u2026their friend was 6.\nMaybe some of the 80 billion could be donated\u2026oh no\u2026sorry\u2026we need another railway system to clutter up the countryside\u2026.so the rich can get richer.
