It has been a week of strikes and strife and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any better.

Every time I turn on the TV I am being told something is either getting worse or going under.

I’m not entirely sure but by talking about it we kind of make ourselves even more depressed.

Every third person I speak to has an opinion on the subject. Not sure all of them are thought out.

But I would think they make more sense than the words those people in charge have been coming up with.

Despite having analysed everything isn’t it surprising the government always end-up blaming the last lot in charge.

You would think by now you we will have come up with better set of excuses.

I am more than certain the next government will blame the one before it. And so on and so forth.

In fifty years time the government in charge will have a regular pop at the last one.

It seems to be easiest way out of any mess.

In any other organisation on the planet an excuse like that would be laughed out of the office.

If I worked on the factory floor and made a huge mess of the place a few months into the job.

Could I really get out of it by stating it was the bloke before me who did this?

Why don’t we run governments like football teams? For instance if the results are bad you can’t blame the last man in charge. You yourself get kicked out.

This would make things a whole lot simpler where we were concerned. We would know exactly where we stand.

On the plus side though the Christmas decorations are up.

With all that has been going on we have forgotten it is actually only 24 days to the Christmas Holidays.

I, for one, love Christmas. I hope I get those carol singers I got last year.

I had a group of cheeky youths knock on my door and ask for money without singing a note. Little did they know I was hardcore carol fanatic. I made them sing three full carols before they got my £2.

It is all about your money worth isn’t it?
