Not taking the pain

April 11th, 2011

They are fucking at it again.

They are whining and whinging on about how we must “all take the pain”.

I was down in the village earlier, and one of the shops had its radio on, and that’s how I heard them.  Now I have to buy the shopkeeper a new radio.  Fuck!  He should bill the gubmint, as it’s all their fault.

Let me tell you about taking the pain.

I started work at £10 a week.  Yes – that’s not a typo – ten miserable quid a week.

I then proceeded to fight my way up the ladder of success, getting up and going to work in miserable fucking weather, day in and day out.  For years I worked outdoors in an environment that would now probably be banned by the Elf and Safety mob, as it involved working at heights and a LOT of brute labour.

I went to work whether I wanted to or not, and usually I didn’t.  I suffered having to work with and for idiots. I paid all my taxes and struggled financially. I took more abuse than I gave and generally I took the pain.

I am retired now.  I am retired from having to wake every day in the small hours.  I am retired from the toil sweat and the abuse. 

I am retired from taking the pain, yet they are now imposing a Universal Social Charge on me. What do I get for this charge?  NOTHING.  They are skimming my pension to give my money to others.

When the good times came and the bubble grew, I didn’t move house. I didn’t buy a holiday pad on the continent. I didn’t buy a four wheel drive. In fact I didn’t upgrade my car at all. So when the crash came, I hadn’t benefitted from it in any shape or form.  So give me one good fucking reason why I should pay a red cent towards the mess that other fuckers have made.

I see their latest little gimmick is to take away free passports for the over 65s.

Cunts.

    In any given human hierarchy advantage floats and shit sinks. That is all anyone needs to know.

    What pisses me off is the cynical way they are cashing in on emigration by whacking up the cost of a passport.  They are even trying to make it more difficult for me to leave.

    Bastards.
