Famous old Whitby. Captain Cook, Dracula and probably the best Fish & Chips on the planet….
Ok, Deep Breath.
The so called UK Government strikes again. Several reputable news agencies are reporting that the Government has started work on cutting by a fifth the number of New Education Health Care Plans issued to children with Special Educational Needs. The millions saved by this cut are to go into funding tax cut giveaways which will be an election promise.
These plans are already a nightmare to get hold of. It took us 18 months of fighting, scraping and torture to get some additional funding for Hawklad. Huge numbers of children with special needs already fail to get any additional help and what help that has been made available has been significantly cut. Schools do not get enough funding to cover additional help and as a result thousands of children suffer. AND now the Government wants to cut even more, make it even more difficult for families to get hold of help and support. The very same Government who cut the tax on Champagne costing millions….
It’s a mess and it’s going to get way worse.
How do people still willingly vote for these Charlatans.

The New Conservative Idiocy. Take from the poor, givev to the rich. Exactly the same as the Old Conservative Idiocy! Except they are running out of things to take from the poor. The rich already have most of it!

Beware, this is a comment on a bad day:
There’s this thing that happens: You come into the world innocent and happy and wanting to learn. Then you’re told to learn what those in charge want you to learn. You start to bleat and gradually become one of the sheepeople. Sheepeople are taught to vote in those that have taught them and tricked them into thinking it’s the only way forward. Then you start to learn by bad experiences caused by who has been voted for. You realise more and more, but feel it is too late to do anything about it and it probably is.

Sadly that is so true. It’s what those in charge want to happen as well.

Right! No money for their own people, but spending millions of dollars for military purposes. Probably not the UK but other nations. This just came to my mind. We still have a long way to go until it is clear where the prioritis are to have peace in this world and feeling one in it. Everyone taking care of each other.

We don’t and with the other gems they have up their sleeve like the energy bill, ‘real people’ who don’t have millions and carry the worries of the world on their shoulders will always be made to suffer……. if not directly, then through their children. It’s wrong, but do they care? NO!!!
