SPEAKEASY

WHERE HAS COMMON SENSE GONE?

by Helen Hughes
Most of us can buy our own food, organise our own children and take responsibility for what we do in life. Most of us have uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters and parents, and we would be better off looking after our own family and neighbours ourselves rather than having the government take our money and make an absolute mess of redistributing it.

Can you imagine how much better it would be if private charities and voluntary organizations, community groups and church groups (like the "Sallies") ran welfare instead of Nanny State? You would have a lot more money in your pocket and your money would be spent on those you wish to support!

Removing the enormous bureaucratic system of Nanny State funded welfare would reduce parliament to about twenty politicians, so they won't like this idea!

The Government would be responsible for the police, justice system and the defence force.

All we need is the basic law that you can't use force to make someone do something they do not wish to do, and the rest will follow.
