Shall we be in or shall we come out? That is the question.

Of course I am talking about the referendum. Are you as confused as I am?

For once, and for a change, I believe that Politicians of all hues  really have the Country’s best interests at heart.

the problem is they do not know what the best interests are.

It might be an idea for them all to make two lists. On one side you have the advantages. On the other the disadvantages. For example how much do we pay into the EU and how much do we get out?

Does it make travel to EU countries easier?  Do the Farmers get EU subsidies?

Does the European Court advantage or disadvantage us? And so on.

My problem is with the people whom we elect to represent our Country in Europe. I have not got a clue as to who any of them are. In the area where I live I have never seen or heard of my MEP and on talking with friends of mine, they are in the same situation.

those on the Brexit side  tend to blame the EU for everything that goes wrong in Great Britain, but we do have a good number of MEP’s representing us, so, apart from drawing their salaries, what are they doing? Like a great many other people, I haven’t a clue.

Just like everything else in life, there are advantages and disadvantages on both sides, and we have to weigh up on balance, which side will we go for, it will never be perfect.

On balance I think that any side that Mr Boris,(I’m in it for me) Johnson is on, I will not be. The thought of him in charge of government, tends to fill me with trepidation.

I am also annoyed about the Referendum itself. it was not called for the benefit of the British people, my understanding is that it was called because |Mr Cameron had to appease Mr Nigel Farage.

We elect a government to represent us for five years, and during that time it is the Government, or more accurately our MEPs who  should be fighting for a better deal for us.

Who expects to keep a dog and bark yourself?

All over the World, the British are considered to be a an intelligent and well educated nation, so why are there so few intelligent and well educated people leading us?

We must have a few, but I cannot name any.

I have been astonished by the goings on at BHS.

it really is like watching a rather tragic play. First we have the flamboyant Mr Green swanning about on one yacht after the other, being photographed with  Supermodels and suddenly disposing of  a company, I hesitate to say selling, to a gentleman who appears to have about as much knowledge of running a large retail company as I do about  Astro physics.

Vast amounts of money are taken out of the Company by both Gentlemen and after a very short time in the ownership of Mr Dominic (I don’t know what I am doing) Chapelle , over eleven thousand people are left  wondering if they will have a job or not in a months time.

Mr Green fumes and protests his innocence, and Mr Chapelle, obviously suffering from some sort of delusional disorder, says he needs more time.

If it was not so sad it would be funny.

What I have difficulty understanding is how on earth with so called financial experts and high grade Accountants overseeing the deal, no one said STOP, this cannot go ahead.

I can only assume that, while the shop assistants were beavering away on the minimum wage with nothing to look forward to but ten per cent off the merchandise, the expert Advisors were able to pocket  rather large sums in professional fees.

A friend of mine wants to purchase a small business in a sector in which she has  a lot  of experience. She has money to put down and wants to borrow the balance, she has had to go through a great deal of scrutiny to enable her to obtain the finance.. .

There appears to be one rule for those who appear to have money and are Charlatans, and another for those who want to buy a genuine business and have a good degree of integrity.

Could the moral of the story be that the more devious and dishonest one is, the easier it is to get finance?
