My advice to government 

The government is asking for advice from tax payers etc. can I recommend the death penalty reintroduced into Britain, this would be carried out only when found 100 per cent guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

We can bring assisted dying for those that have no quality of life.

We can stop boat people or anyone that wants to come to England. Our government is saying we have 60 plus million people in England, I would say it is 70 plus million. The people that are now coming to England has a culture of six children.

Our government are selling off our industries and wasting taxpayers' money on five star hotels for criminals. The criminals are queuing up to get a five star cell in jail. This action must be stopped and punishment to match the crimes.

The government is closing down schools, chemists, nurseries, bus transport, and at the same time, allowing trains, gas, electric, water, sportsmen and women, to be paid millions of pounds in bonuses. Also, what percentage of charity money s going to charity?

Our kids must be taught and encouraged to learn, but if they are not good enough, they should not be in the job.

Appeal for used postage stamps

I am appealing to people in the West Midlands for used postage stamps which help me raise funds which I then donate to the Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Recycling used postage stamps is such an easy way to raise money for the charity and I am always in need of all types of postage stamps, including British, foreign and Christmas stamps.

If you are able to help I would be grateful if you could cut the stamps from their envelopes (leaving approx 1cm margin around the stamp) and send them to Guide Dog Stamps, PO Box 91, Virginia Water, Surrey, GU25 9AR.

If you would like to contact me my email address is [email protected]

Thank you to everyone who has donated in the past, your assistance in helping me to support this very worthy cause is greatly appreciated.

Questions on Horizon affair

During her Autumn Statement the Chancellor said the Government was funding compensation for sub-postmasters to be £1.8 billion. Now a couple of other things:

  • How much are the people who developed and supplied Horizon (Fujitsu) paying to compensate the wrongly accused and badly treated by the Post Office
  • Have Fujitsu as much as apologised to those caught up by the gross miscarriage of justice that their system?

Two simple questions, but no answers from Fujitsu or Government.

We all deserve the answers necessary, especially those ill treated by the Post Office.
