WHAT on earth is wrong with the British people of today? They are so apathetic that 99 per cent of people do not seem to give a damn how Great Britain is governed these days.

Here we have a Scottish Prime Minister that not one person in England has voted for. What happened to the vote?

They announce new laws every day: "You can't do this from tomorrow, you can't do that from next week". Ban this, ban that. And what is the response from the majority? "Durr, OK".

Petrol is to increase next week..."Durr, OK". They announce a ban, with zero response. So the Government not only implements the bans, it increases them to cover wider areas.

Your choice of how you live is called freedom. This choice is being taken from us daily and will continue until the only thing we'll be able to do is whatever Big Brother allows.

My way of life has changed considerably; the way I did things for 35 years has been taken. So what if I ignore the changes and continue to live my life the way I want to and had done every day? A fine, yes, maybe prison if I continue. What is the alternative?
