I read this morning an article about the middle classes at risk from Hazardous drinking, really got my blood boiling, its made out to be this whole culture of middle class people drinking themselves silly adding cost to the NHS and social system.
To me this is kind of typical of the UK in general, the middle classes, us, the decent hardworking honest people, are like the forgotten race, we have no voice, we are not heard. Our way of life is far different from that of the super rich, the immigrant, and the Hand Out class. We work, and work bloody hard often with poor conditions, we try to carve a life for ourselves, given only a blunt butter knife provided by which ever political party fancies a bash at trying to run the show. We the forgotten middle workers, struggle from day to day, worry about how, when or where the money will come from to pay this, that and the other. A new government budget does little or nothing for us, except harshen our plight. We are a mass in an unheard see of suffering. No wonder we drink!
Take a look around you, friends relatives, work colleagues, how many of us have a really decent standard of living? How many of us have the extra money needed to get good dental care, with out having to resort to debt! We are the back bone, we are the ones that chisel the base that keep the wheel turning to line the pockets of the super rich, the politicians, the greedy and the criminal. We support the hand out classes. Lets face it how many of the super rich actually pay proper tax? They have the money to find ways around it, so we the middle class workers, have to work extra hard, hand over more of our cash to pay for these others.
So why the Drink? Drink acts as a relief from the pressures of work and reality, we don’t take drugs, but we drink, to relax, to sleep, to blow of some of the pressure piled upon us by this country. Our working conditions are poor, we work more and more hours often unpaid, its expected. We work through our lunch, often over our normal time, we live to work. We have little real holiday, little incentives, and any bonus we do get the Government is there to take as much as it can! Our hours are long, are pay in comparison is low, and our bills are high. No bloody wonder we drink.
But the moral crusaders, trying to squeeze us more got another flag to fly... Drink, how wrong it is how much its costing the NHS, indecently a NHS that a normal worker cant get to see a Dr, (More on this in later blogs)... so soon enough this government or which ever one is in, as it really matters not, (in effect they are all the same), will eventually ban or restrict alcohol sales, in the interest of the population.  More like in the interest of national business!
Don’t you find that the hand out class has more disposable income than we do? Yet the do nothing. The Immigrants pop over here under the image of work, as it’s an easy ride, the government waste our money on plans for this that and the other that they scrap a few weeks later. They pay themselves nice big bonuses, live the life of luxury while we sit out in the cold, struggle, day in day out in a rat race.
What do we actually get for our money? I see over 80% of my Salary shoot straight out the door in the first few days of getting it, There is no extra money to save, yet I work, and work hard always have done! Tax upon Tax upon Tax, slap a few fines in there..... In fact.... we are not really the forgotten class, no we are the "WALKING CASH MACHINE CLASS" that’s how we are seen, that’s how we live.
What will any of the political parties offer you? What will they do to make your lives better? To give you something for the work you do? We are the unseen section of society, as long as we hand over our cash and turn up to work, no body cares, they don’t care we can not afford to get dental treatment, they don’t care we can not afford a quality of life.... Just had over your money and work yourself into the ground.... Walking Cash Machine Class...!
