Promises mean nothing nowdays when minds are changed in an instant

We now live in a world where one’s word means nothing.

From Parliament, MPs, councils and now businesses they all promise one thing then do something else.

It also shows in the long run how much people care about the service one gives to one’s country in war as did Henry Allingham in the RFC/RAF.

So much was made of his service and age to the extent a competition was set up to name the homes and yet now two years later it all meant nothing.

I have made up my mind never to vote again in elections, council and national and if there is a second Brexit vote, which if it comes off is no better than a rigged first vote.

All this nonsense about ‘people did not know what they were voting for’. They did – to leave lock stock and barrel. It was then up to the MPs who we thought knew all about how the EU was set up and how to manage leaving.

Why did it not happen, from day one everyone in all parties should have got around a table and pooled ideas forgetting all about politics.

This was too big to worry about sides and who was what, also I think there has been an element in Parliament who from day one wanted to remain and set out to sabotage any ideas to make the leaving possible, good bad or indifferent.

They were set to stay in the EU, and if and when we do get out they should be hounded out of Parliament and never sit again.

Today for me a day of not trusting anyone as giving one’s word and perhaps in this case in writing has no meaning.

Sorry Henry, you deserve better.
