Feckless minority

Dear Editor:- The Tax Payers Alliance has once again become thew only champion of the working population that has managed to maintain their ‘Work Ethics’. We now have liberal and socialist politicians in bed with wet bishops who don’t live in the real world of commerce and industry. They can always find excuses for the feckless minority of people who don’t want to work and the criminal under-class that enjoys beating the ‘system’.

However they have no answers to the problems of social deprivation caused by uncontrolled immigration and excessive taxation on the lower levels of working electorate. The political and religious alliances have constantly failed and abandoned the citizens of Britain and Europe during the past two hundred years, especially after two world wars.

The British public have suffered for a decade from political sleaze and corruption both in Parliament and Whitehall, not to mention a poor and expensive performance in most of the ministries of government. We have also lived through twenty years of devolution and unification in local and regional government in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This ‘Sea Change’ was supposed to be more democratic, accountable and less expensive according to a succession of politicians and Whitehall mandarins since 1990.

The national press has done its best to inform the public and also expose the misdemeanours of politicians and bankers who have cost the tax payers billions of pounds of their hard earned cash.

However, as recent events have shown that the press has also become too close to politicians, ministers, bankers and bishops. The journalists and newspaper owners should go to the nearest library and read the autobiographies of Hitler, Stalin and Chairman Mao. They may have prevented the excesses of monarchs and aristocrats but they failed to give people freedom and caused the deaths of millions of their citizens.
