The UK now is becoming an increasingly restrictive and claustrophobic society, 25% of the world's CCTV cameras, stealth taxes in the form of 'public safety', poltical correctness. Lets start on political correctness, it doesn't exist except in the minds of the delusional and power hungry. There will never be true equality in the purest sense, nobody will be exactly the same if they were then the world wouldn't be what it is now.

If you are an equal opportunites employer why do you need my ethnic profile? Also let's be sensible here there are some jobs some cannot do. If you are a wheelchair user then perhaps being a builder isn't such a good thing, you won't be able to move out of the way in case of toppling masonry or equipment, the requirements to work at height become too expensive and the work speed of the individual will be slower due to difficulties faced by a lack of mobility. These add up to higher costs, the employer should have the right to turn them down if they simply can't afford it or don't have the equipment. If the government wants them to work their they can supply the kit! Some employers may be willing to spend the money but if it cannot be afforded don't force people to but it. That said disabled people have a perfectly legitimate and valuable role to play although the scope for employment is comparatively limited.

The political correctness issue affects me everyday, I am a student but I also work as a security guard I need to be nice to everyone and take everybody's bad days but be firm when needed as well. Its all too easy now for someone with non-white skin to turn around and accuse me of racism and nothing will be done! Someobody smacks someone in, I stop them, I get in trouble when he pulls the race card. Also I have noticed an increasing number of young ethic minority kids and teens now acting like some kind of 'gangster' or pulling the race card every five minutes. "You dont know what it's like bruv!" ok so maybe I didn't go to the Middle East and get the problems I did for being British and white. Grow up! In reality they have far more opportunity than many white kids it's just easier to play the race card and get it easy.

The thing is there are a majority of ethnic minorities who are perfectly nice people, no chip on the shoulder and perfectly respectful but the minority once again allow a stigma to form which they show no intention of changing but yet complain about.

Freedom of speech is an issue for me. I remember seeing a politician say "we aren't paid to make the popular decisions." This is a democracy, in a democracy you are paid to make the popular decisions by the very definition of a democracy and your place in government! Stripping away civil liberties in the name of political correctness is lunacy and quite frankly impedes progress. ID cards are a stealth tax along with speed cameras, the congestion charge, road tax, homebuyers packs and the like.

Council tax achieves nothing, pay it for the once in a blue moon the police actually do something instead of fining people for littering or when they turn up on time instead of waiting three hours while you go toe-to-toe with the burglar intent on raping your wife. Bins are invariably rarely emptied on time and if you live in a recycling area, you get fined for having the wrong rubbish in a bin which gets emptied into the same landfill site as the other.

Why do polticians get paid so much? They don't work as hard as most of us, they don't earn the generous pay and benefits packages they have because they do little to improve situations. They are public servants not public leaders, something which seems to have been forgotten. Modern day politics seems to be the pursuit of power and money at the expense of the tax payer.

I will continue at another time, plenty more where that came from!
