Robin's Diary

Silly Season!

Yes it’s started, we are going to be bombarded by how things are going to be better, how life will change, how everything will suddenly improve, how we will have more money and less problems!

Fortunately, I don’t need your vote, and certainly wouldn’t want the job even if I did. But I am pretty much certain that not much will change, not much can change, no matter how much it’s needed or wanted. Yes, some people might be a few hundred pounds a year better or worse off, but the money spent on the election campaigns by everyone, would go close to that. ?

Maybe I’m just becoming a grumpy old man, but, as the population gets older, and less people are contributing, the less there is in the pot to spend. It’s not political, it’s just how things are now, we live longer and work shorter, which is great. Hence, whoever gets the job of spending the country’s money has less to spend and more deserving places to spend it!

So, Good Luck to everyone standing - I really don’t care who wins, because I don’t think it will make that much difference. ????????
