There's nothing like a good rant

I am an avid follower of the news, I watch most of the news channels at different times during the day, the difference in the channels is remarkable, it does sometimes make me realise that we are only allowed to see what someone decides for us, especially when all the main English channels lead with the same story, usually about politics, where as the rest of the world is watching something totally different, usually far more interesting. I am interested in politics in this country but after ten minutes of waffle by politicians and 'experts' I have had enough.

It took Al Jazeera to tell me there was a new building in London that was altering the skyline for instance. Never heard a beep from BBC or Sky.

I find it harder as I get older to differentiate between the political parties as they are so similar,

there is not a real personality amongst them anywhere.

Last but not least is the UN and the veto by Russia and China, did any one really expect them to do any different because make no mistake they know that in time they will be doing to their people what Assad is doing to the Syrians.

Our politicians would be wise to think about who they cosy up to because one of these day's they will end up with more than egg on their faces. I thought Libya was a lesson but it appears not.

I thought it was going to be a time of thrift for all our elected representatives and they would be careful with our money, but it appears not to be the case from what I see.

I was sat in a traffic jam the other Sunday the other side of Bradford on Avon, temporary traffic lights the cause, 10 to 15 minutes, when we at last started moving there was nothing wrong with the road but the verge had been reseeded. It got me thinking, how much does road repair cost in relation to waiting at traffic lights etc. With commercial vehicles it must be massive amount of time and money, also the added damage to the environment with vehicles with engines running while waiting.

love to you all
