People like me will make the decisions on how crap your lives are going to be...

I am bothered. Now that is not unusual. I am angry, that is also the norm but this is a festering anger that is reaching the point of "lividity" (it sounded better that angridity or furiousility).

Last winter I was angry about the numbers of old people that would die because of the cold. This is the First World, how can that even be the slightest part of a problem? We do not live in a poor Country, sure there was recession and deficit but it is relative to the size of the wealth in the UK, surely we would support the elderly, the infirm and the young from illness and death before forking out to kill a few badgers or to subsidise the lack of tax from big business or to pay £millions in studies for a railway that the public is opposed to? But alas and alack the Government have different values and priorities to me.

Amazingly enough this year there will be the same problem. Thousands of pensioners, those that have paid the longest into the state, will be made to suffer with crippling heating bills and the Government won't do anything about this, still spending money on killing badgers, still planning the £120 Billion railway to shave an hour off the journey from London to Scotland, still allowing big business and wealthy individuals to dodge tax whilst they cut mental health services, benefits and housing..
A week or so back a young lad tried to abduct a young girl from the Churchyard in Aylesbury. 3.30 in the afternoon and he had a knife. There were enough people around to stop him and he was caught. I have heard that he has mental issues caused by drug and alcohol problems.
I am seeing lots young people homeless and begging on the streets. It is all within the last year, never before that have I seen so many homeless people in Aylesbury. Why is this? The local Council managed to fund the £46 Million Theatre (that is running at a loss). They are also continuing to ruin the Canalside with monstrous buildings for the sake of it. There is nothing being built that will bring business or money into Aylesbury, infact that latest building was planned with the investment of some "celebrity" from the Dragons Den but he pulled out, yet the Council went ahead anyway and it is now to be a college of some description, despite the fact that we already have a college that was extended very recently, is in a far better location and it takes some pressure off the already terrible and over stretched road system in Aylesbury town centre.

With all of this frivolous waste of money I have to assume that these homeless young people have chosen their situation. That Aylesbury has a drink and drugs culture and a homeless problem that has sprung up over the last year, not because of cuts to policing and heath services but because people are just taking more drugs and alcohol and prefer to sleep on the streets in the freezing cold.

This occurred to me the other day: whatever happens next in the World I have lived a life and experienced life and despite what a teenager or twenty odd year old might think, in their naivety they may think that they have too but I am afraid for them because the lives they are about to lead are going to be tough and fraught with tough decisions taken on their behalf by those that know better, those that have already had a life, people like me, and that scares me.
For those of you younger people, the future should be yours yet it is still mine. People like me will make the decisions on how crap your lives are going to be and believe you me things don't get any better, life is tough and it only gets tougher. The problems you have now are different to the problems that I had or those of my Dad, we don't understand and never will yet we will be making the decisions on your future.

In a democratic society you would be making the decisions with an army of advisors, older people to give you the benefit of their experience but you are stuck with a cabinet of posh public school boys who don't have a clue about the majority of lives in the UK, they were born into money and power and play at working for a living. This is the same for all the four big political parties. Education does not mean they will make the right decision, particularly when they surround themselves with friends and family and other people with vested interests in the decisions that are made, those that can benefit from certain decisions.
Young people can stop this, they can mobilise themselves, something that they have a handle on through social media, they can make a difference to their own lives. Don't listen to politicians and don't listen to fools like Russell Brand, these are all people that are in the limelight to push their own agendas, none of them can be trusted, and I will tell you this, I can't be trusted either, the moment you start your revolution I will complain because I won't like it but conversely that is a good thing, you need to be revolutionary and rebellious, if you're not that, then you're not living your lives to the full. You need to be full of vim and passion, full to bursting point with the injustice of it all. This is your life, it is the only one that you have, if you can't be angry about what we have done and are doing to you, what will you get angry about?
