My Pet Hates
Whilst not wanting to sound too much like a grumpy old man like Victor Meldew, I do have a number of pet hates - things which frequently annoy the hell out of me. Perhaps some of them may click with you, or maybe you have some better ones. If you have, then let me know and have a good moan about them.
Politicians who vote according to their conscience and not according to the people who elected them
Politicians who ban smoking everywhere except in the Houses of Parliament
Politicians who want to hide their £100,000-plus annual expenses by excluding them from the Freedom of Information Act
Party politics in local government
Paying income tax on my pension so that alcoholics can claim disability allowance
Paying income tax on my pension to support dossers and scroungers
Fly-tippers
Political correctness in all its forms
Criminals bleating about their human rights
Breakdown of the family unit
Lack of discipline in society
Soft punishment (or none at all) for criminals
Bureaucracy and red tape preventing the police from doing their job
Decline of Christian values
Lack of an English Parliament - Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have theirs
Pension inequality between the public and private sectors
Moves towards a Federal State of Europe
Accidents always being someone else's fault
Motorists who drive through red lights
Parking charges at hospitals
Do-gooders who insist on us appeasing every minority group
That's just for starters. When I think of some more I'll add them to the list - grrrrr....
