Government, govern?

Firstly, I decided at the beginning that this was going to be a blog sticking to me and graphics work, but I need to get something off my chest. This is about the British government and how they think it is acceptable to not equip soldiers they send to war zones.


My brother has recently joined up with the British Army, for the soul reason that there is no work for an unskilled guy in this country anymore. He was working for as company making industrial wooden palettes, and he couldn't imagine himself doing that for the rest of his days. So what did he do, he signed up for the army. Something he could see as his only route out of this hellhole.


Now he is currently doing his training. He is luckily doing driving for field ambulances, which means that he will be stationed in Germany for two years. The thing is, if he was in infantry he would be sent out to Afghanistan 2 months after training.



If it is not bad enough, there are reports that the troops do not have the correct supplies in order to do the requested job. Why on earth would you send soldiers out to a war zone inadequately prepared?


I am of the belief that this swine flu and the expenses scandal that the British Government seem to be involved in are mere distractions from the issue that they are sending their own citizens to the slaughter. Which seeing as my brother will be one of those sent out, I cannot speak enough in my disgust in this clowns that rule this fucking country.


I mean there are hundreds of variations of the flu, which comes into this country every year, this one has hit the headlines to cover up the cock ups which have been done by these overpaid idiots. I mean they take money away from the public so that they can hire gardeners, these are people who WE voted into power, yet they have no apologies for what they have done. No apologies that the people sent to fight under the Union Jack are not given even the correct clothing for the terrain they are in, whilst the people controlling their fate are to busy worrying about themselves to care about the people they serve.


Unfortunately this is not a new development. The British Army have been wrongly equipt for decades. It is a joke and gives a huge insight into what this country is like. Why would anyone want to come and live in a country who can't even give their soldiers adequate treatment?


What does that say about this state of a country? You give them trust and they have done nothing for it. I say give them minimum wage, if they have to live away from home, give them student accommodation. And public transport home, if needed.
