Who has placed the elderly in the position they are by pursuing aid policies, wars and the aforementioned energy policy to the extent there is insufficient money to afford the level of care that the elderly are entitled? Who is it that has allowed what they consider to be their duties and their behaviour to dengenerate to such an extent that they are now despised?<br /><br />Them, Them. Let me name one - Davignon.

In 1848 we were one of the few countries not to revolt against our rulers and in 1914 and 1939 we obediently sent our young men to die in foreign fields. We have always worked hard and paid our taxes. What have successive governments done for us in return? <br />They have given away our independence to Brussels, allowed our country to be flooded with immigrants, destroyed the best education system in the world and given us the most expensive transport, energy and public services in Europe. I could go on; but suffice to say that when I see the likes of Cameron, Clegg and Huhne deciding how our money should be spent (foreign aid, EU fees, foreign bail-outs and wind farm subsidies instead of looking after our elderly citizens) then I think we have reached the very pits of national government and that the need to remove them is becoming imperative.
