Anyone who knows me, knows I love inspirational quotes and
signs – not signs as in cosmic revelations (you know what I mean!) but placards
around our home giving inspiration to the boys and me.
This one I saw this week for a bargain price of 90p. It
really captures the mood of the General Election, don’t you think?
We have an obvious choice – continue with the status quo
where only 1% of the population have the rewards on the back of the hard work
of the 99% or we choose a peacekeeping statesman who wants to stand up for all
of us. For so many years people have told me ‘they’re all the same’ and ‘why
vote…nothing changes’.
PEOPLE! If voting did not make a difference – they would
have given it freely without a fight!
PEOPLE!! The world does NOT have to be this way – we don’t
have to:
- Fight wars
- Have children in poverty in 2017!
- Have ill people dying from inhumane sanctions
- Have schools where parents pay for essential equipment
- Have women prove they were raped
- Have essential services – fire, police and NHS on their knees
- Have infrastructure not fit for purpose
- Have corporations exploiting workers and avoiding paying tax! We can’t, why should they?
AND we certainly do NOT need the return of barbaric fox
hunting!!
This week’s cyber-attack has been a bit of a “I told you so”
moment. I have been banging on about the real risk of cyber terrorism and it
has fallen on deaf ears. The fact that Trident is controlled by computers and
so are our national grid and water services, should make everyone very nervous
indeed!
Labour
all the way
I am immensely proud of the Labour manifesto. Every
announcement this week has given me goose bumps. There is real hope for the
future. Progressive policies, sensible costings, peace and prosperity for all
but do you know what I love the most? IT’S
COMPASSION.
Tackling loneliness, homelessness, job insecurity,
providing lifelong learning – my struggle after losing my job through Meniere’s
would have been much easier!!
Patriotism is not waving a flag, attacking people from
different countries or cultures or singing a national anthem. Patriotism is
paying your taxes, treating every citizen with dignity and providing an
environment where everyone can make their contribution.
Meniere’s is preventing me from canvassing this time but I’ll
do everything I can to give my children and everyone hope for their futures –
Jeremy has handed hope to all of us. Grab it with both hands. Really…what do
you have to lose?
IT’S NOW OVER TO US. We do have incredible power in our
hands… if we use it wisely.
Steps to change our country:
- Register to vote here - deadline 22 May 2017.
- Read what is on offer – don’t rely on the media – don’t let them lie or hoodwink you!
- USE YOUR VOTE!
Do NOT lose your voice and if you don’t vote… don’t moan!
Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour is giving this country hope. If
Brexit was taking back control… this Labour manifesto takes it back and hands
it to each one of us. How exciting is that?
Choose wisely my friends
Why
can’t people be nice?
Why do people want to play me? I just don’t get it.
Yesterday, a girl who has totally ignored me and written some inaccurate stuff
about me, based on someone else’s lies, wanted to befriend me. I am guarded due
to past experiences especially when she’s already said she doesn’t want to get
to know me. Being a budding MI5 agent (I wish!!). I did some digging. To be
fair it was not that hard. People who play games tend to give themselves away
on social media. I may be naively trusting but I am not stupid. Research is a
wonderful gift.
Meniere’s has taught me life is way too short to put up
with silly girls and silly games.
The world is a tough place and there are so many issues we
can concentrate our efforts on. Small minded people play games – caring and trusting
people make the world a much better place for EVERYONE!
It is always acceptable for you to say NO to being treated
badly! Remember that! I wish I had learned that years ago. You don’t have to
suffer to be polite! Stuff that. If they can’t treat you well, don’t have them
in your lives! You deserve to be treated so much better than that.
It’s my birthday soon and the boys have bought me an early
birthday present. I’m not sure Theresa May will approve!! It’s great isn’t it!
Right, I’m off to do the ironing. This afternoon we are at
a children’s birthday party…well Lucas is. I may have to try and find a TV
screen for the Liverpool game or F1. Have a lovely day and week.
Much Love
