I SAW our great leader Mr Cameron was out, strutting around the Middle East recently, telling people there what should and shouldn’t be done to rectify their problems.
He professes not to like the level of violence being used against communities, and people being killed and beaten to death.
But what a dangerous, arrogant, conceited man he is, making out to other countries that we are a democratic country with fairly treated people.
I wonder if he and his cronies told his hosts about the sanctions he is imposing on his own country under his own and local authorities’ leadership, and the hardships and deaths which will follow from them.
These will not be caused by the bullet, police or by bully boys; our leaders are far more discreet.
They use the method of cutting services and funds to organisations, some helping the elderly, which will make it harder for them to cope with the harsh winter months and food bills.
Many who are already ill and frail will get worse and some will perish.
There could well be fewer hospital staff to cope with extra work. And being tired and weary, mistakes will be made (they are only human), which, I am sure, will mean more loss of life.
Crime will also increase. The pressure imposed on the people of our land will see many who can’t afford to feed, clothe and keep their children healthy, especially in the winter months, turn to all kinds of misdeeds.
Many will have been, until now, very law-abiding citizens.
I believe a time will come when Mr Cameron, with red face, will be forced to explain why the land we live in and the turmoil being caused by him and his supporters, has been allowed to happen.
Our beloved country is changing quickly, for the worst.
It is only a matter of time until we will be acting in the same way as the people of the Middle East and North Africa, who have shown the world that governments who rule by tyranny and milk their country’s wealth for themselves will not be tolerated – at any cost.
