Rules of Engagement

If you have been following the growing flame of confusion in the British Government, then I do not need to tell you of the latest rift of Blair vacating the throne of Prime Minister.

However, what do you and I think of it? is the question. Are these the signs of a government failing in its internal conflict of affairs? I think so.

After the latest charade, I am beginning to lose faith in the government as there are continual ramblings, which are affecting our lives. And after the last term I don't think that they're up to the job anymore - incompetent is the word. Ever since Labour started their term, we have been promised lower tax, less council tax and increases in efficiency of the NHS. What did we get? Nada, nil, nowt, absolutely nothing.

I feel like standing on top of Nelson's Column and utter profane words while listing the very things that they have done to this country to worsen it, and top it all off with the word "corrupted". No, no, no. This is not a terrorist jibe, this is my home, I am British born and bred. Being British is all I know.

But the excitement that happens, is that my earnings are just enough for P.A.Y.E and to pay off my mortgage. Now there's council tax which is forever increasing including other utility bills, where they add up to a burning flame. The flames are covering me and I'm burning up. What am I going to do when I have no money and increasing debts? What about my family that depends on me?

I'm sure the outlook on my life (as well as others in a similar situation) looks dreadful when the government takes away more from us and gives less, and also cares about insecuring our security while fighting unnecessary wars.

But what happened to British values, what happened to the loyalty, to serving this country? Will we ever get an honest government to lift us from the eternal flames of damnation? I just hope that the politicians see the light before it's too late.

"A toil of pain, is all I know. An increasing flame, where do I go?"
