Political Ends

[NorthernRaider]

Today I read on the BBC and Skye and in the papers that DESPITE record levels of taxation ever, the biggest NHS ever, most public spending ever. We pay out on tax MORE AND MORE but

1 50% of women now on prescription medicines, men at 44%
2 Train time reliability falling
3 Secondary schools declining again
4 More cuts on local services by many council planned
5 If interest rates rise by 1% up to 50,000 people will default on their mortgages
6 Govt says MORE defence cuts are needed and submarine fleet has had 44 fires in last few years
7 By April even after record investment in NHS up to 20% of hospitals likely to go bust
8 police forces saying they need to cut numbers again
9 It will take another £4Billion pounds an ten years just to fix the current road potholes
10 Homeless numbers increasing
11 More demand than ever for food banks
12 We need 2.5 MILLION new homes just to cope with current populations ( at 2012 levels)
13 Obesity leading to diabetes, blindness, amputations reaching record proportions and likely to BANKRUPT the NHS
14 Social and Civil unrest increasing
15 Violent / sexual and street crime rising
16 Most young people from WORKING and MIDDLE classes cannot afford to get onto the housing ladder but rents are rising in both state and private sectors

On top of all this the country is BORROWING £97 Billion a Year and the National debt is now £1.4 Billion, so tell me WHO is going to pay the bills?

So set aside left or right wing politics, even the dumbest of the dumb can see we are seeing ever more of our wealth and wages disappear on various taxes but its all still getting worse, MUCH WORSE and I think even Barney and Mo will agree with me things cannot go on like this without something breaking.

THAT folks is the REALPOLITIK of prepping.
