Yesterday I read a tweet and wanted to reply to it, but the 140 charters twitter limit made it impossible so, I blog-posted my thoughts HERE.

Somebody did not like what I wrote and as a result, I have been bombarded since 9pm last night with angry comments.

Come on people, all I did was expressing an opinion, which the last time I checked was my right!

I am aware if you stick your head out you risk upsetting someone. But this looks a tad coordinated and targeted.

As my mama always says “you must be doing something right, otherwise they won’t bother attacking you” so thank you.

Not one to invite conflict – but Bring It On Lefties!

When the e- petition was first introduced, we all expected to see a few bizarre requests. That is one of the beauties of democracy – every voice is heard and valued. What people then do with what they hear, of course within the law, is their civil right.

So, when this morning my Twitter timeline showed a retweet (RT) by House of Twits for an e-petition asking for MPs’ salaries to be capped at £26,000 in line with the ‘average’ UK wage, because the government is ’insisting’ that there should be a cap on benefits! I could not stop myself laughing!

If we agreed with Gail Stacy, the person who created the petition, that MPs work is average – which most definitely isn’t. With the exception of those members who represent London and the surrounding areas, how are MPs going to run two households on 26K? And although this petition is prove of the entitlement culture that has lately plagued our nation. It also shows a lack of proportionality and a realistic comprehension of issues and serious matters, such as commerce, responsibilities and rights.

Alas, Stacy failed to see the vast difference between working for the public and supported by the public. In one you get paid for doing a job which you are expected to do well and honorably – but the other is an aid, an assistance from the state.

How on earth did we get to this!?
