Now that we are one week into the run-up to the election, the rubbish has started to come through the letterbox as well as out of the radio and television.
Thankfully the pamphlets, letters and leaflets can all be put in the recycling box and this week I put out quite a sizeable bundle. This will of course increase as the weeks go by so I'm glad that re-cycling collections are done weekly and we are fortunate the we do not have local council elections on the same day in this ward.
I am fed up with the majority of the main news programmes on radio and television being taken up by politicians and so-called experts who are saying that most of the electorate are showing a great deal of apathy and they think the turnout to vote will be quite small.
Is it any wonder? Most people are sick to the back teeth with the three main parties, all the bickering and one upmanship, so I'm gad I'm not alone.
We're already in one hell of a mess and whichever party gets in, or even if it's a hung parliament, I think it will get much worse.
Well, at least I can recycle all the paperwork which may end up as something useful, it's just a shame we can't do that with the politicians.
I hear you grandma. It's just as bad here in the states. Sounds like the entire world needs to clean house of these corrupt devils. I believe it will be a much safer place if we all did.
