This is one for the locals who pop in and out of this blog! I read today in the Daily Mail that they had compiled a league table to record the number of complaints against the behaviour and attitude of nursing staff members in NHS hospitals.
Top of the table, way out in front, was LEICESTER ROYAL INFIRMARY who racked up 275 complaints in 2010!! Now why am I not surprised at that? When my wife and I were on a short break my daughter marched in and was so concerned about the condition of my 93 year old mother that she discharged her and took her home! Not one person asked why!? That was after one nurse took her to the toilet (she was recovering from a fractured hip) and left her in there. She was only released after a passing catering lady heard her tapping SOS on the toilet door!! Well done the Royal this was an award richly deserved.
Oh and by the way Leicester General climbed to 8th in the league. Not bad considering the number of NHS hospitals in the country. Perhaps we should be looking at who is training these people.
I am almost incandescent with rage! Now that takes something special because at my age rage should really be avoided. Rage causes stress and stress for the elderly is a condition which must be avoided at all times. So what has brought me to this critical point of my life and I will direct you towards the Olympic Games.
I am an avid sports fan. No that is too mild because I am almost obsessive about sport. I am even more obsessive about the Olympics because I have glued myself to the television at every Olympic Games since... well I remember watching the 1948 London Olympics at the cinema with my Dad.
So when we 'won' the Olympics for 2012 I was pleased. At my age I was probably too old to apply for tickets but nevertheless I thought it was good for my country. Then the jiggerypokery began! Lord Seb Coe who was a magnificent athlete and a dreadful person led the British bid and in my opinion was, for the public, the worst person possible and for the Political Class, the epitome of their dreams!
Under his leadership a more corrupt scheme for the allocation of tickets could not have been devised. What was left over was offered to the public and to get any kind of ticket they had to register a credit card and had no idea what kind of ticket they would obtain!
I mean can you imagine this happening in any other walk of life? You will pay up front but you do not know what ticket for what event you will achieve. It was a nonsense and two thirds of the public didn't get anything at all and that included parents, friends, advisors, coaches or personal sponsors. I could not believe what was happening but then where were the good tickets going? What was happening to the 'golden' tickets and now we know.
For months we have seen corporate bodies advertising Olympic tickets as prizes for their sleazy competitions. Now today the crunch has been uncovered. OUR GOVERNMENT spent three quarters of a million pounds of OUR money in securing the BEST tickets for government supporters, civil servants, quango queens and well anyone who is in 'the club'.
They defend their scandalous corruption by declaring that these government officials will 'pay' for their tickets! Oh goody so these servants of the proletariat will actually pay for the 'golden' tickets but who will monitor that? Who will ensure that the 'club' members actually pay for the very best Olympic tickets or will we through our taxes ensure that the most corrupt people in our society get the best seats?
How long are we going to put up with this utter corruption?They are spitting on us the public and they don't care. They have corrupted the Olympic Games and no matter what happens now they have corrupted and ruined the 2012 Olymic Games. Only our Political Class could achieve that. The trumpeting of the journey of the Olympic torch will never diminish the scandal of the distribution of the tickets!

I have often blogged about the immigration scandal mainly because, even at a low level, I witnessed the lunacy which posed as government policy.
When I gained employment within that system (1999) I could not believe how chaotic it was. The Home Office had allowed literally thousands of files on prospective immigrants to build up until the 'system' was unmanageable. I remember thinking that this was no accident because any senior civil servant could have sorted it.
I then witnessed at all levels such mind blowing incompetence that I came to the conclusion that it had to be deliberate. Someone, somewhere and it had to be a conspiracy was pulling strings to flood the country with immigrants.
Now comes the news that the Head of the UK Border Force and three other senior officials have been suspended from duty for allegedly dismantling our immigration border checks. They even abandoned the checks which keep the public safe from terrorist suspects!
This could be a great day for British democracy because once the most important of these criminals has been uncovered then surely the police can work down the line asking why subordinates had not questioned actions which must be considered treasonable. Then they can investigate all those who supported Mr Clarks' promotions for the past 20 years and eventually we could, if we have the political will, unmask all those who have created the immigration racket that has changed the face of most of our large cities.
I suspect that the list will be endless and highly embarrassing and then we will have to find a justice system to deal with it. Do we have one? In my opinion Brodie Clark deserves a very, very nasty fate for crimes that are indescribable. He should never see the light of day again!
I have been posting for well over three years that the European Union was a corrupt mess. The longer that I have been shouting from the rooftops the worse it has got. There is nothing that will make me retract one word because we have only been allowed to remain a member because we pay in such huge sums.
I have written before that I know nothing of the intricacies of international finance so I cannot understand why almost every country attached to the EU is in a parlous financial state. How is it that countries like Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Portugal have all been allowed to rack up such debt?
I read today that Greece is almost on the verge of being kicked out of the EU (lucky Greece!) and the Italian debt is so vast that there is not enough money in Europe to service it! What? How on earth can these eurocrats have allowed that to happen? I asked the same question when Gordon Brown seemingly with intent drove the economy of the UK into the ground.
Why are they not in jail? How can anyone be allowed to mismanage the accounts of a nation, to the extent that they cannot meet their debts? These were not poor nations. They collected vast sums from public taxes and yet a group of politicians clearly have gone out of their way to destroy their nations. It is tantamount to treason.
All these nations were doing fine until the EU came along. It is only since they created this behemoth that the problems have arrived. They tell us that if we resigned from the EU our trade would suffer but how come with the advantage of this huge internal market the member states are all broke (except Germany)? How is it that we are not all trading with each other and ignoring goods from China, India, Japan and Brazil?
That may be naive but everyone knows that the only reason that cheap goods arrive from these emerging super powers is the cheap labour. Come to think of it why are we still bunging them foreign aid? I reckon that a fairly, honest man in the street with half a brain and no 'agendas' could turn any of these countries around!
I am becoming increasingly concerned about the actions of our police. We used to wonder how the people tolerated the actions of forces like the Stasi, the Volkspolizei or even the Gestapo for that matter but increasingly the actions of our law enforcement officers are causing concern.
Today in the Daily Mail (as ever) they report outlandish behaviour of the police and of course nobody is culpable, Nobody is punished and nobody loses their jobs.
This comes hard on top of a report that hundreds of police who have been guilty of misconduct are being allowed to resign in order to retain their pensions.
Then we have reports that some police in the United States are also guilty of behaviour which is contrary to any semblance of lawful regulation. Watch their behaviour...they are out of control and we in a democratic society cannot countenance this behaviour. An innocent woman was forcibly stripped by a mixed force! It could be any of us and they always predict that what happens in the States soon appears on our streets.
We must be aware that the police should be accountable to the public not to the politicians. They are absent from the streets. Criminality is rife. Where are they when the thieves are able to desecrate war graves for metal? Where are they when our kids cannot walk the streets safely? Where were they when the riots occurred? Clearly we, the general public, have been abandoned to any fate which might just happen to us.
Beware folks...we are rapidly becoming the Soviet Union/East Germany and nobody in Westmonster is challenging it!!
What a laugh! They stitch up everyone and then one rogue member decides to consult the people. What!? Consult the bloody people? What the hell have they got to do with it? We are politicians and we never consult the people...we routinely lie to them, particularly at election time, but we never represent them.
Don't get me wrong, the Greek President has no chance of implementing his referendum on the brand new EU plan to save their currency (ie beg the Chinese for money) He will be bullied and battered (just like the Irish were) and as usual the EU bullies will win. It is however another example of their desperation to keep the public under control.
Nothing will change, we will all eventually go to hell in a handcart to save the EURO but at least we are seeing the lengths that 'Merkozy' will go to hold onto power. The Greeks are the most militant of our European 'partners'. They are also the most exposed to world finance. Membership of the EU has been a disaster for the Greeks. I wonder if they will realise it.
One final thought... the Footsie responded positively to the original EU plan...it didn't take long for them to get back to normal. The professionals know that 'Merkozy' preside over a disaster zone which unfortunately will eventually change all our lives.
The indigenous population in this country have quietly witnessed a huge immigration scam organised by the socialists some ten years ago which has changed the face of many of our large cities. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants have been allowed into the country unchecked and unmonitored. For five years I worked at an Asylum Appeals Centre and I was staggered not only by the numbers involved but also how so many people centred around the Home Office were committed to maintaining the flow. These people included senior civil servants, politicians, judges and educationalists.
The flow continues and it will be no surprise to discover that no attempt has ever been made to round up illegals and send them home. Only the BNP have ever promised to tackle the problem and yet all these people are clogging up the systems that the British pay for through their taxes.
They are filling our houses, schools, hospitals and prisons and still they are allowed to pour into the country through the many loopholes created by the Home Office. The largest appears to be the student visa scam where anyone can apply and nobody bothers to check the validity of the application. Pay the money and you are a 'student'.
At long last Sir Andrew Green the Chairman of 'Migration Watch' has launched an E-Petition aimed at giving the people a voice on the problem. I really do not know how effective this will be but if we don't sign it we can't complain when our kids are disadvantaged by a torrent of incomers. You can sign it here.
