But I reckon ...I wouldn't call it a flaw FE ..<br /><br />But I reckon there's an even better way, which doesn't involve making a profit for Holiday Inns ..<br /><br />Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in nursing homes ..<br /> <br />This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks ...<br /><br />They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc and they'd receive money instead of paying it out ...<br /><br />They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance ...<br /><br />Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them ...<br /><br />A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell ...<br /><br />They would be free to smoke in their cells, as these are considered to be their "homes" ..<br /><br />They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose ...<br /><br />They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and educational courses ...<br /><br />Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on request ...<br /><br />Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens ...<br /><br />Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls ...<br /><br />There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct which would be strictly adhered to, backed by a complaints procedure, paid for by the Taxpayer ...<br /><br />The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay £600.00 per week and have no hope of ever getting out alive ...<br /><br />So .. when I feel that I can no longer manage on my own .. I'm going to get a Taxi to take me to the local Public Library, tip the cabbie to help me inside .. sit down on the floor & light my Pipe ..<br /><br />I shall refuse to desist & to the best of my ability fight-off anyone who tries to make me, including Plod ..<br /><br />Which means I'll get my collar felt & will appear in Court ..<br /><br />Where I'll insult the Magistrates, so that they send me to Crown Court, where I shall tell the Judge that He/She is an out-of-touch with reality fucktard .. <br /><br />And with any luck, I'll get a half-way decent sentence ..Captain Haddocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-75070382945113544662011-07-20T17:38:46.261+01:002011-07-20T17:38:46.261+01:00I read of a lady who went on a series of cruise li...I read of a lady who went on a series of cruise liner trips.
