soldiers dying for lack of equipment...

OK I'd will be the first to say if we go to war then troops are going to die, but if they die because the government has not given the lads the right equipment then sadly who ever is in charge be they minister MP or PM, courts should place these people against a wall and shoot.

We are told to day that we do not have enough helicopters so equipment is being taken to the front line by trucks, lorries.

This cannot be right and if we have no helicopters then buy them borrow them or bloody steal them but get them. One lad that dies because we do not have the right equipment is the biggest shame on any government.

Stay away

Well I think looking for work has to be put on hold, I've been told I will not be asked back until the recessions has lifted, because simple put they are out to find work for the unemployed.

So I will blog about everything any anything. One minute we are being pushed into Jobs that are at best stupid, window cleaning from a wheelchair the young Lady who suggested I can be used to get work because people would feel sorry for me. Another idea! I would get a grant to become a Taxi driver self employed , Labours new push now is getting us to go self employed.

Done it, did not like it, and will not be doing it again, last year I had a benefits review and if I was to start work I would be £25 a week worse off unless I worked a full week..

So what shall I talk about on a blog I had hoped would show how much work we put into looking for work, sadly we are still sending off application forms, sending emails, we have formed a group in which we can help each other.


So why can I not find work, well for some time now the area in which the disabled were sent to work has been the NHS, now you must be able to beat the non disabled to the job by showing you can actually do it. Second they are looking for well educated people who can be trained to fit into the jobs and actually work at it. But the fact is how many disabled nurses in wheelchairs do you see, if a nurse gets a bad back she is normally gone she retires.

How many Police officers do you see in wheelchairs soldiers traffic wardens, not many I bet, so what are the job for the disabled, well in the main it's picking up litter, sitting in a wheelchair in Asda calling out the cheap deals, or standing or sitting in the back ground doing little or nothing worth talking about.

I went for a job and nearly got in at a well known large building suppliers, they wanted somebody to tell people about buildings, being a building foreman for many years it suited me. They asked me questions about footing, regulations for knocking down a partion wall, about knocking down a main holding wall, I answered the lot, was told ok you have the job, only to be told two hours before starting they found somebody better. I later found out they had employed a Polish lad who could not speak English, it was felt he would fit in better, since people might feel uncomfortable speaking to somebody in a wheelchair.

I get this a lot.

This blog was to be about me finding work, problem is the job center has given up. I've been told to come back In September now because they are snowed under with people looking for work. Makes you smile really they are treating the disabled different from non disabled I'm being treated like due to my disability I can wait.

I've been waiting now since the end of November last year for an interview and will more then likely wait until they call me in next year.

Just shows how much work they have for people with a disability. this site was to tell people about how hard I look for work and the dealing I have with the Job Center, right now I've not got any dealings

Is this a picture of Gordons brother doing the cleaning. can you imagine a brother cleaning a house well I cannot not. I might be able to see a lot of things in life like a disabled person getting benefits and saying he is worse then he is because it's hard to live on £60 a week. But a brother of a well off member of government cleaning a house I kid you not.

I've been feeling unwell for a while now tired and feeling like something is wrong, off to the GP straight in. had a look he said he is not happy he can feel a lump in my bowel, so first thing blood test, down to the Hospital it took four hours to have the test.


Gordons in trouble again.

Well our beloved Harriet said that MP's 9Gordon) can have maintenance done on his house which is spending £6000 on his brother cleaning his home, Harriet has said that's within the rules, so getting a family member into your home to clean it it's called according to Harriet maintenance. In my home it's called doing the house work.

I thought come on Rob go down to the job center take a look, gets to the door Hier Hitler comes over, your back again you have been told they do not have time now to help you. I was kicked out of the job center for god sake.

This blog started so I could write about my problems finding work, now I cannot even do this because I cannot get into my bloody job center.

Give me a break.

I think it's a waste of time writing about my employment, so I think I'll need to look at other means of writing something.

Oh I had an email from the job center with a list of jobs available.

Sic jobs.


Dentist for NHS practise.

Three dental nurses.

Dentist working for private practise.

Solicitor needed for busy practise.

Carer needed good working conditions MWP that's min wage payment which is of course £5.73.

sales person needed must have five years experience working from home self employed commission only.

Great jobs think I'll ask if they have a training program for dentists.

OK well writing about the Job centers no good, being told to wait until July well it's a bit to long, I did go down and join another job broker, but the job broker said they have to wait to see what funding it would get from Government, they said the funding they did have was gone.



So what to write about well how about electric cars, I had a poster sent to me about looking at electric cars, it said new money would be put into green cars a two seater vehicle, so I had a look it has two seats and it has a boot my wheelchair would not fit into, they said the battery could be charged in two hours, but really needed 24 hours and it does 40 miles with a top speed of 40 mph. I was told the speed could be increased but the mileage goes down.

But looking at these cars the though of Clive Sinclair came to mind silly looking vehicles which will be bought for the kids and left to rot, ok these cars are a little bigger but two seaters for god sake, we are told you can by a car for the family but you can buy one of these for a run about, ok ok I'll buy one, nope sorry 2011 or perhaps 2012, so why is Brown offering us £5,000 well it's for buying a hybrid. Hold on a minute they go on fuel as well my uncle has one so far he has only put in petrol.

Anyone feel this is another bit of bull shit from new labour.
