Disillusioned.

Maybe it's the time of year, the weather or maybe I'm just getting older but I can't seem to find anything to be happy about. The weather is horrible to run in, as it's mostly grey and raining, it's pretty poor for taking photographs of as well. Having said that, armed with a torch and a bunch of flowers, I managed to get some stunning shots of them. They looked Photoshop'd but I can assure you they weren't.
I haven't really been able to motivate myself to run. This is partly due to the excessive snow and ice that we had, kept me in. The news reported record numbers of broken bones and I had no intention of being one of them. It did mean that I am almost back to square one with my distances though. I am struggling with 2 miles a day although I have a suspicion that after Christmas and into the early part of last year, I had the same problem...who knows....

I have been showing an unhealthy interest in politics more recently. It's been fascinating to see a Government that is obviously rubbish and always has been, become an absolute shambles and then to see the usually more eloquent and capable opposition shoot themselves in the foot, I have no idea how that happened but it is quite incredible. Even with the press savaging that Gordon the moron is getting over his bullying and heavy handed ways, David Cameron can't seem to get to grips with him. I was watching Nigel Farage (UKIP) on "Youtube" and I liked his savagery. He was blunt to the point of rudeness but his point was so passionately put that I warmed to him. I actually believe that he means what he says. It would have been nice to have been asked if I wanted to be run from Brussels by a Central Government rather than have it imposed on me.

I think is possibly part of the problem I have, I feel powerless. My vote seems to mean nothing and the politicians think they know better. Who knows what the people of this Country need better than me? Certainly not some wannabe socialist who earns a small fortune for falling asleep in the House of Commons and boosts his wages by fiddling his expenses and certainly not a silver spooned chap with an expensive moat and duck house to maintain. I think the political system in this Country needs a shakeup. When you get beyond the point that a meglomaniac can wage a war on false pretences, against legal advice and the will of the Country and we are coerced into a political union that segues sovereignty to a foreign power without a referendum, also against the will of the Country, you can't help but feel disillusioned with life in England. I struggle to understand why criminal charges haven't been brought against Tony Blair. Legally he appears to be totally wrong and it would certainly be in the best interest of the Nation to have such a dangerous man locked up. He is personally responsible for the greatest loss of life in this Country since WW2.

I have decided that the lack of Sun is the fault of New Labour, it's yet another Government cut back. I did also notice that many of our roads are also suffering from Gordon's recession, the speed limit appears to be cut on many of them.....
