Where Is Our Robin Hood?

In today’s society its all about control and dictatorship, it doesn’t matter if you think we live in a free society or not, the fact of the matter is that we are controlled by the rules and walls that govern us and no matter who we vote into power things don’t really change, perhaps someone we don’t see is really pulling the strings. ;-)

The poor get poorer and the rich….. well you know the rest!

Money dictates how we live our life, what we do and how we survive. It restricts us and in a way it can define us with relation to how giving we can be towards Nobel causes.

So where is our Robin Hood to stave off excessive fuel prices in the petrol stations, or take on the giants that withhold electric and gas unless we pay extortionate prices. What about food and the cost of living, in an ever increasingly difficult world. We are by no means suffering in comparison to what some people have to endure in this world, in fact compared to third world countries we, ourselves would be considered rich, so are we greedy for wanting more?

No, I don’t think we are, its not greed to want a better life for you or your family and lets face it money, the controller, the dictator is what limits us in our ability to evolve as human beings. But this thing we call money which the government and powers that be use to control us, they are numbers, they mean nothing really, only we place value on those numbers because society conditions us to. When a company makes millions every day how does that change anything, it only adds a few more numbers to a balance sheet, or a computer program running a bank. Its not like the old days where you would barter with live stock because you needed something which someone else had.

Our need for money holds us back, it controls the lifestyle we live.

However, the fact is that this is how our society has evolved unless we all made it change then nothing ever will. Nothing can change because humanity is selfish, if you owned a business you wouldn’t give your things away, and if you didn’t need to work because food, water, electric etc was readily available and free, then chances are most people would simply do nothing but then again that is what a fair few draining the countries fictional numbers (money) do. As a world we need to evolve beyond selfish greed to control and dominate.

I digress a little……

If we are to live by numbers, we are to pay by numbers and die by numbers, then there are things we can do to regain a little power. Stop using some of the bigger players or related companies until their prices come down, if they are not making money then they have no choice but to become more competitive. Imagine if we stopped using a whole chain of companies of companies like BP, if they are not selling their petrol they will go under and so we take control in refusing to hand over our hard earned numbers (money) until it becomes more affordable. The same could be done for large supermarkets, stop using them and revert back to the local traders, the market traders, the people who it benefits the most because with our obsession for retail parks, shopping malls and 24 hour large supermarkets this is what is killing independent traders who buy produce locally, get our farms working again and stop relying on the EU to pay our farmers not to farm. Keep abusing your local councils to make parking near down and city/town centres FREE, this is one of the main reasons people go to retail parks and such and thats because it costs them nothing to park. We could even grow our own!

Lets bullet point:-

  • Boycott one large petrol manufacturer and retailer for 6 months, 12 months or more. If they are not making money they will need to become cheaper to get people in.
  • School projects could be to farm and grow produce to resell locally, keeps the money local for the school whilst educating the kids to grow.
  • Use local farmers for meat and dairy products. There are plenty around who you can buy direct from, in fact buying half a pig (which they butcher for you) and freezing it will save you money.
  • Use local market traders for fruit, veg, other meat and fish produce, keeps local people in business and employment whilst keeping the money local.
  • Move to one supplier across the country for gas and electric (everyone) other suppliers would have no choice to cut their prices because they are simply not making money with no customers otherwise.

Doing this will hit the bigger brands where it matters for them, doing this allows us to gain some control over what we pay or at least who we pay it to and which outside country gets our numbers (money), in essence we are our own Robin Hood, we just need to step up!

Congratulations to Doncaster “Maggot” council!

We’d just like to congratulate Doncaster Council and our dear government for their once every two week black bin collection, we now have a fantastic supply of maggots which some fishermen might be interested in.

Our council collect our main waste rubbish bin once every two weeks, however our bin fills up within the first week. They then collect the green bin every 2 weeks and this bin is for hedge trimmings, gardening, etc all the things which don’t fill a bin up often, hardly anyone on our street puts their green bin out all the time.

I complained about this and nothing ever happened, our bin fills up and then we bag rubbish next to it, but the bin men won’t take bagged rubbish and they wont take the bin if the lid is too far up as we’ve learnt form their shitty red stickers which threaten to take us to court for paying council tax and getting an piss poor service.

MAGGOTS IS WHAT OUR LABOUR COUNCIL GIVE US!!!!

So the bin is emptied on a Thursday morning, sometimes late after-afternoon. Food waste is then thrown in the bin either that day (with the piled up bags from previous days that they refuse to take and won’t fit in the bin) or the following day, that food waste is then sat there festering for up to 14 days and in this heat it gets rather smelly.

Get the bins cleaned and stop telling me its my job to go to the local garbage disposal centre for extra rubbish, its not my job to do yours!

Ohh and get this, they moved all our cardboard collection to a little green box (was originally the big green wheelie bins which now hardly gets used) which they collect weekly, well we fill two boxes up a week.

My suggestion is collect the black bin three times a month and the green once.

Here are some images for everyone’s enjoyment, Helen gipped and nearly threw up when she discovered them.

Most of the maggots feel to the bottom of the bin as it was opened but you can see a fair few there, there are probably a couple of hundred scattered across the path as well now.

Are Doncaster council trying to bring the rats back with a side order of black death (plague), I hope the government local and national know that rats won’t pay all those extortionate  council taxes if they move in. ;-)

Tasty, ehhhhh.

UK Election and who to choose?

Well if we’re not screwed by one we are by the other, we have Gordon Brown and you know some times I admire him but the majority of the time I think he’s just lying pratt that should just move on in life, he’s no better than Blair. I had to laugh when suddenly Brown whom was a rather hidden man with his personal life suddenly appears on Piers Morgan and not to much before the general election starts, publicity stunt or what.

You know that what ever Brown says, he really has something to say off camera, a hidden agenda me thinks! Just look at his behaviour when he thought he was away form the cameras and called a woman a bigot, I really wanted him to let rip in that car whilst people were listening. But all that said, it really just shows him as being human albeit a little two faced.

  • I have to consider what Labour has done to us, Poor NHS funding and inadequate doctors resulted in my fathers death, my uncles death, my aunts death.
  • Treated my mother like a criminal for their mistake, she’s an OAP for Christ sakes.
  • Can’t even get their bin men in order but still charge my mother an incredible amount of council tax.
  • I needed help from their job centre, but instead got sod all but I’m sure if I’d come from another country I could have had help. All those years of them money grabbing
  • DVLA threatening legal action for a vehicle which I’d had sorn with them and later informed them was written off which my insurance company also notified them of. They harassed me for months despite me telling them the numerous times again.
  • The list could go on, but for now this will do ;-)

We’ve then got the used car salesman, David Cameron. Honestly I think I’d struggle to buy a car from him he just gives off these vibes that he’s after a good commission this month.

BNP, well you know I was considering having a look at what they stand for and today we got a leaflet through the door so I had a quick read. The way I read it is they want to rip our troops out of other countries which could be a devastation not just for use for those countries we’ve gone into but also for ourselves. We need to fix the problems we’ve helped create there and we still need to fight terrorism, if we just pick up and leave places like Afghanistan then we might as well throw them back into chaos and give them some weapons to come get us with afterwards.

The bombings we’ve endured in this country hurt people who didn’t choose to fight in this war, it killed people who were just living their life and if we continued to do nothing they would still continue to come at us. The world is our oyster and we live in it so we have a duty to care for it and not just ourselves because if don’t then when all hell breaks loose we will then be dragged in to it.

BNP also don’t believe in climate change, well regardless of their belief the things we do which scientist claim contribute to climate change are still ruining our world and how we live. Coal, Gas and oil won’t last for ever, landfill sites will still be a mess and will still give of methane. The gases thrown into the Earth’s air will still be poisonous and waste from nuclear power plants still can’t be disposed of easily.

And the other parties……… Well if I’m honest I don’t really understand what they are proposing or what they stand for but I guess I should give them some consideration.

OK after careful consideration I think we should line them all up, blindfold some voters, maybe all of them and give them a paint ball gun who ever gets hit the fewest is in. lol

Maybe not?
