Backing a dead horse!
So David Cameron would now like me to put my meagre savings into a Social ISA to fund social projects. This man is not in touch with ordinary people at all let alone older people who guard their savings and have made sacrifices to get savings in the first place. He might as well encourage me to put money on a dead horse winning the Derby. Most of these social projects are doomed to failure overrun as they are by beaurocrats and it has to be said people who are very happy to be on one social project after another without putting any real effort into changing their lives. My father found little work to come home to after the Second World War so did anything he could to keep his family labouring, fairground work, odd jobs anything. he instilled into us the need to stand on our own feet and to keep down a job no matter how horrible or difficult it was until you had a job to replace it with. He also recognised the need to serve ones country and encouraged us into public service. One final note I had the misguided notion that the taxes we paid the governement were so that they could run the country including any social projects they might have dreamed up while watching Wimbledon in the Royal Box or holidaying in the Caribbean.
