Prime Minister Theresa May had made it abundantly clear that she is going for hard Brexit which means a clean break from the European Union. She was very clear in her mind when she said on becoming Prime Minster that ‘Brexit means Brexit’. Even during the referendum campaign she kept a low profile and was not visible at all. Which shows she was sitting on the fence waiting to jump on the winning band wagon.

No one needs reminding how our NHS is failing us, especially OAP, chronically sick and disable people. Reasons for decline in NHS care are varied, mainly due to our bleeding heart luminary politicians living in “Ivory Towers” out of touch with reality. They let health tourism flourish unchecked, in sharp contrast to other European countries and our own private hospitals where we have to surrender credit card details before we can set foot in hospitals, even though we may have medical insurance! No wonder their “Bad Debts” are negligible!

After the supreme court judges delivered their ruling on 24 January that the prime minister could not trigger article 50 and start the ball rolling towards the process of leaving the European Union (EU) without parliament’s approval, MPs voted overwhelmingly to give power to the Government to start the balll rolling towards the negotiations to leave the EU.

The Union Budget 2017-2018 was not well-planned as it only benefitted the government at the centre and not the common man. Manmohan Singh was a better Finance Minister. He was far better and much more superior to Arun Jaitley. Arun Jaitley since the day he had been appointed as the F.M. has been thinking only of himself and not the common man.

President Trump’s decision to ban Muslims from seven Muslim countries is reversed by courts. An appeal by President Trump has been rejected. Myopic vision of the episode may show the ruling as monstrous, with unpleasant sequel. But viewed through knowledge of history, this imbroglio may appear to be a picnic.

There are so many organizations, businesses that pretend to be nexus, enjoy OAP patronage, ready and willing to help those who are in need. Although few are genuine, most take advantage of disable people, to drum up business, often charge more than one would pay to normal businesses.
