Okay so if you have read my previous post about movember and me not shaving to show support for prostate c*ncer and c*ncer then you would have noticed at the end of the post I got very angry.
I'm sorry I just can't hold this in. I have tried to keep calm but can't stop thinking how of a fucked up country I really stay in. And if you are not from the uk get ready for something to shock and disgust you
As some of you might know my father has been diagnosed with neck and throat c*ncer. He was diagnosed with this around a year ago. Since he has been diagnosed he has been unable to work. And has been relying on savings to get him and my mother by. My mother had been off work a lot to look after him so she was only getting half pay. Not enough to pay rent or bills.
Before my dad was diagnosed he was a plumber. He has been doing this job for around 30 odd years, since he was 15/16. Everyday from 7 am until nine pm he was out working to support me and my brothers and my mother. He is and still a workaholic.
He has paid something called tax to Britain. Not to Scotland. But to Britain. England, Wales, Northern Ireland.
I told my father to apply for something called ESA. Employment and support allowance. Which gives you £300 every two weeks. So £600 a month. He thought it was a great idea because he was entitled to it...
The result? Not entitled to a penny. Nothing. Because he has savings and a home owner.... The house he owns has no floor boards. No heating. The walls are following apart and is unliveable. He does not live in there. I'm not going into the reasons why he bought it...
But the savings he has are almost gone. He had to help pay for my brothers wedding. Had to pay for hotels we were staying in and the flights to Greece...
Now he does little jobs. Even with this illness he still wants to work... But he will never work the same again.
How is this fair!? He should be entitled something... But nah. If you were from another country, eastern euope, Africa.. You would be allowed to get all sorts of benefits. I don't fucking care if I sound racist! Go stick your fucking racism up your arse.
When I was living in Germany I said to my ex girlfriend when she asked me. Steven are you not upset Germans are getting jobs ahead of you? I said no! It is there right they were born here and I wasn't I should be below them when getting a job!
So what am I fucking racist to the uk now?!
This isn't fair. This country needs to change.. Wait. What the fuck. Britain is not my country. I'm SCOTTISH. I do not give a fuck about London, the queen, places in England. Northern Ireland or Wales. To the soilders who fought for my freedom, thanks and all that. But a bigger thank you to my grandad who was English but faught for the scottish regiment.
This is the reason I am and will be voting yes on scottish independence. Not because I hate the English. But because I hate the British government. Sure scottish has a government and make rules but they have to ask the British government if it is ok and the British government is in charge of benefits.
The sooner Scotland leaves the uk the better. More tourists then England,(apart from London) better education and healthcare training system. Oh yeah and the reason why the rest of the uk wants to keep us, our billions worth of oil in Aberdeen and Shetland, Aberdeen is the capital of Europes oil after all .
Thanks British government. Thanks very much for inflicting an ill man to work a little to put food on the fucking table. Rott in fucking hell.
