minor things that make you fume

While reeling from the unannounced (well if it was I missed it) in the budget almost 33% rise in NHS dental charges for a checkup, I decided, since I was passing, to stop off at some nearby woods which usually put on a decent bluebell show this time of year. It's fairly remote and so most people only ever go the few weeks in the year the bluebells are out. I looked forward to a bit of tranquility.

The year the effing National Trust have put a brand spanking new expensive looking parking charge machine there. The car park is am utter discrace with potholes, do they absolutely cannot justify the fees on maintenance. It's also the only time I've ever seen a NT worker anywhere near the site.

I can understand charges to maintain, for the nation, a crumbling pile once owned by some twerp who got wealthy on the back of the slave trade - but this is a simple transient bit of nature ffs. The principal enrages me far more than the actual cost. The simplest of pleasures now subject to institutionalised begging.

I don't like the way the uk or the world is headed and I used to take solace from the fact that i'd probably be dead before I really lose my temper, but the capitalist bar stewards seem to have accelerated their advance.

Pay to park your car
Pay if you go to fast

Even if you die you wont get away...but you were warned.

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me

Quite.

Yet see how the issue is diverted to some anonymous bean counter, and away from the person responsible? The person the nation elected to represent the best interest of the people?

How easily people forget that, grumble at the taxman yet vote for more of the same.

If you`ve started looking at how to make bombs on the internet, now would be a good time to stop.

No matter Who you vote for, the Government and thus the taxman, always get elected.
