THE Red Cross bans Christmas, a policeman can't have the Union Jack in his vehicle, burglars are banned from prison, crime soars while speed cameras are top priority.
Truants are treated to nosh-ups: there are new cushy police cells for miscreants, but no money for care homes.
Britain is £30billion in the red, Chancellor Gordon Brown blows £540million when flogging our gold reserves, the EU is to bankrupt our fishing industry, the European Central Bank now admits the single currency has sent prices rocketing.
Germany makes our Rolls-Royce, India is to make our Rover Mini and man our telephone exchanges, there is no money in the pension pot -- work until you are 70, don't check your shares.
Honesty, action and common sense superseded by hype, promises, political correctness and EU derivatives.
Snippets from Orwell's '1984?' No, from Blair's 2003. If there's a country as magnanimous and benevolent to asylum/job seekers as Britain I want to go there.
