Robot Nation
So, we as a nation are likely to be subjected to robotics looking after the aged and children....and even 'policing' our streets
The obvious answer is: THEY COULD NOT BE ANY WORSE THAN THE PEOPLE DOING IT NOW......
The predictable outcry is: 'Oh, but one could short a fuse and go wrong'
Now correct me if i'm wrong (and i havn't had a bit of correction for some time), but carers HAVE been know to take sadistic pleasure in hurting or abusing those in their care.
Ditto the 'attitude adjuster' in the ranks of our boys in blue (or what ever fashion statement they are wearing now)
Lets make this world a better place, since we are (supposed to be!!!!) democratic....we can have a referendem on it.....but then i suppose they have already nixed that idea with the two biggest prototype robots 'Call me dave' and 'Mr Prudent' going to the polls
As usual, we will just get what we are GIVEN and jolly well LIKE IT!!!!
Oh well, it was just an idea

M.O.D Madness
Why use a thousand words when just a few will do?
So Ms 'I thought i was going to be raped by those nasy Iranian rotters' Faye Turney can collect a cool 33,000 nicker a word:
CAPTURED, INCARCERATED, RELEASED
Seems like i'm in the wrong profession.........

The Government sucks
I used to be door bitch of an illegal (!) gambling casino/club in the China town district of Sydney. ..............
I learned pretty quickly never to take more than twenty Aussie dollars to work, since the politicians denied all existence of gambling in N.S.W, it turned out to be a nice little earner for the police who came to raid the joint.
They would take all of the money found on the premises, and since we, the employees were not supposed to exist---they took OURS as well!!!!
I only worked part time, but gradually this turned into all of the time and with no respite to catch up on sleep and generally recharge the drained battery of vitality.
This overwork was not because of innate greed on my part, but the fact that many of the staff would simply not show up or ring 10 minutes before a shift to announce the excuse du jour
The owners sussed out that I was always willing to help out when these emergencies arrived, but naturally they (and the staff with a zero work ethic) came to take me for granted
It was not until I asked for compassionate leave, to visit a sick relative that I saw the trembling lower lip always got more than my STIFF upper lip.
The never complain nor explain culture had given way to problem people getting away with murder.
When my boss sighed and said: I could have done with a bit more notice I finally saw the light.
Being nice, good, punctual, and having an unimpeachable code of conduct, is SIMPLY NOT REWARDED in this world.
So, when I read a particular post on a local forum, my blood boiled and my heart was momentarily devoid of all compassion. It reads:
I discovered a few days ago that Brighton&Hove Council spent over £3,000 on sending flowers to all the Mums in Brighton & Hove who receive benefits.
They used one of the most expensive flower shops in the City. I overheard the manager in the aforementioned shop telling a colleague he'd just received their cheque for delivering them all.
Glad to see the council aren't THAT short of money after all..
Un ****ing believable!!!! I replied on the forum:
Never been a benefit receiving Mum (sniff)
God, think of all the flowers and freebies I could have received.
My life blueprint has gone disastrously askew.....
I demand the same 'Noblesse oblige' for an Erotic service Provider in dire straits.....
This is blatant discrimination.......
It is not my intention to delve into the right or wrongs of single motherhood and resultant receipt of governmental benefit. The subject matter is too complex, and each individual case often has a (poignant) story behind it.
Hey, good luck to them…I would LOVE to get something for nothing, but first, someone in a position of ‘liberal sweet doling’, would have to see me as a worth recipient.
The Sex Worker question comes under the: too hard (no pun) category, and seeking a grant (as I am planning to do) from any number of governmental bodies who give funding to: **name a grotesque of choice** will be an interesting prospect.
I think of all the times in my life that I had no income and resisted the urge to seek help. It just means that my application for help has been supplanted by 100 people who know how to work the system.
AND GOOD LUCK TO THEM TOO!!!!
If there is a system in place which encourages felons, the feckless and the work shy, then one can hardly blame individuals for taking advantage.
But now of course my mind has run riot and, because a precedent has been created by the council, I will fully expect to see: A recreation by cryogenics, through DNA recovery, for every person who does not have a Mother or Father for the appointed celebration days of the year.
Ditto for those who have lost beloved pets.
Let’s send flowers to every woman who does not have a loved one on Valentines
My point being: WHY ONLY PEOPLE ON BENEFITS????
They seem to be everyone’s vote catcher. I have read (and seen on TV) of Two government initiatives, whereby the unemployed, or should that read unemployable-----can get free: Head massage, Body Massage, Make up, Tattoo removal, Piercing removal, manicure, pedicure and hair styling….all in the name of being a pigging lazy git.
I truly do give up on this country, this world and this life.
I will now pour a glass of the finest bubbles, which I have had to EARN and not bludge nor STEAL.
Your roving curmudgeon of a correspondent, over and out.
P.s: The source of the forum post (and two removed) have been checked and verified by the Author of this article, and though I am apolitical, I do like to expose the ridiculous in this cock- a -mammie world.
PP.S I hope Brighton and Hove Council see fit to send me a monster Easter Egg---for unstinting services to the unloved and unloveable
