ITS A FCUKING DISCRASE

[andyfr1968 772]

What an absolute feckin' disgrace

 

Some random comes into the country and gets given a feckin' car, house, feckin' money, feckin' school for their kids that as often as not can't even speak feckin' English, health care etc, etc, etc.......... FFS!!!!

 

Yet these folks come back to this??????? And they have to rely on charity????????? Feckin' shower of shite that runs the show should be feckin' strung up. Wankers.

 

Rant over.

 

Cheers.

TOMMY by Rudyard kipling (1865- 1936

I WENT TO A PUBLIC -'OUSE TO GET A PINT OF BEER

The publican 'e up an sez "we serve no red coats

here"

The girls behind the bar the laughed an' giggled

to fit to die

I outs into the street an' to myself sez i

 

O its tommy do this and tommy that an' tommy go

away

But its "thank you mr atkins when the band begins

to play .

 

I went to a theatre as sober as could be

They gave a drunk civilan room , but adnt

none for me

They sent to the gallery or round the music-alls

But when it comes to fight' Lord they'll shove me

in the stalls!

 

For its tommy this an' tommy do that an' tommy wait

outside

But its special train for atkins "when , the troopships

on the tide

O its special train for atkins " when the troopships on

the tide"

 

Yes makin ' mock o uniforms that guard you while you

sleep

Is cheaper than them uniforms an they're starvation

cheap

An hustlin ' drunken soldiers when they're goin large

a bit

Is five times better business than paradin ' in full kit

 

Then its tommy do this , an tommy that an tommy hows your

soul

But its "thin red line of eroes "when the drums begin to

roll,

The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to role

O its the thin red line of eroes when the drums begin to

role,

 

We aren't no thin red eroes , no we arent no blaggards to

But single men in barricks, most remarkable just like you

An if sometimes our conduck isnt all your fancy paints

why single men in barracks dont grow into plaster saints,

 

while its tommy this and tommy that and tommy fall be'ind

But its " please walk in front sir " when there's trouble

in the wind

O its " please walk in front sir " when theres trouble in

the wind

 

You talk o better food for us an schools an fires an all

we'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational

Dont mess about the cook -room slops but prove it to are face

The window's uniform is not the soldier mans disgrace

 

For its tommy this an tommy that an chuck out the brute

But its " saviour of is country" when the guns begin to

shoot

 

An its tommy this an tommy that an anything you please

But tommy aint a bloomin fool you bet that tommy sees!

I've never seen that before, thanks for sharing

[Attack Fell Terrier 864]

It's terrible, they throw our lads into it, ill equipped and on the back of a lie, then offer them no support after they've been used for all they're worth.

 

I heard today that a woman who lost her son in Afghanistan is now facing eviction from her home. She's had her benefits stopped because she was awarded compensation for her sons death.

 

How is that being compensated? This country just doesn't give a f*ck about the people that care for it.

This poem was wrote between the two world wars issues that were relivent then are still here after all these years

Moving words....

 

It just seems such a shame that the only thing our 'leaders' seem to learn from history is that they never actually learn from it. Same shit, different war
