WHO DOES NOT WANT TO BE A CELEBRITY ?

WHO WANTS TO BE A CELEBRITY ?

On reflection, I spent most of my Business years wanting Recognition.
I was pleased when my photo appeared regularly in the Trade Magazines or the Company Journals. Somehow, this publicity made me feel Good.

Many people in the World Today, idolise Celebrities because they can Sing, Play Football or Appear on Television. If someone appears on Television this qualifies them to be a Celebrity and ensures that they are Worshipped by the masses.

Are these Celebrities happy souls ?
Many are not. How many Celebrity Singers have committed suicide ?
How many Celebrity Film stars have drunk or eaten themselves to death?
How many Celebrities have died from taking drugs ?
T00 MANY.

No, do I want to be a Celebrity and perhaps appear on “ I’m a Celebrity, get me out of here “....?
Certainly not.
I think the the so called “ Celebrities “ are lacking Inner Confidence. They need this adulation from the Public to keep going. This is the reason why so many Performers need to take drugs before appearing on stage or on Television. It is
to boost their Confidence.

Do I miss making outrageous sums of money ? No. There are more important things in life like.....Health, Family Love, Nature, Travel and....Volunteering.

The Covid 19 Pandemic 2020 has reinforced my view that Admiring Flowers In the garden or in the gardens of The National Trust, reading Books, Writing articles to keeping the brain active to avoid Dementia.....and most important of all Good Health.
Remember that the Romans got it right....”Mens Sana in Corpore Sano. “
A Heathy Mind in a Healthy Body.

So everyone, count your blessings and have faith and believe in Yourself.

You are a CELEBRITY without knowing it. You do not have to Sing, Play Football or Perform on Television.

Be Happy. Be grateful. Be Yourself.

BRITAIN AFTER COVID19 VIRUS

" A Radical Social Change in Attitudes for the benefit of All "

" In the future there mut be an integrated link beween Care, Nursing Homes and the NHS with all the subsequent benefits to the Elderly and the Sick. "

" The New Human-Centric Conservative " - Putting People First 
Raymond Williams 
May 2020


OH HOW I WISH THAT IN BRITAIN TOMORROW...............

We would become a Society for the better and that we will have learnt some of the great lessons during our period of Self Isolation and surviving The Terrible Global Covid 19 Pandemic Virus.

For far too long, the Government have expected millions of front line workers to live on relatively low incomes whilst allowing the super rich to get away from paying taxes by forming overseas companies and paying into these oversaes acounts the £Millions they have earned playing Football, Singing, Gambling on  the Stock exchanges of the World, earning £2 Millions a year for being a BBC Presenter - " The GLUTTONS OF THE WORLD " in my previous  article years ago.

The NHS needs a complete overall. Yes, they do a great job but there is so much waste.
We must be more prepared to stock up PPE well before any future virus outbreak.
All Emergency wards must have better Protective clothing and also in the Operating Theatres of a hospital.

Build more Medical Teaching centres and extensions wherever possible to existing Medical Universities. so as to add to the numbers of Doctors and Nurses in the Community.

Change the A Level courses towards making one year of A level aYear 1 for a Medical Degree,
revise 3 year Degrees for Nurses by making their 3rd Year a Practical in Hospital training on the Job experience.

Citiznes must have a better National Insurance Scheme by paying more into the system. The Liberal Party suggestions that we should pay an extra 1% on income tax is a good idea.

The current NI Pension scheme is not fit for purpase. We need better state Pensions in the future, well funded.

No one should live in Poverty. This is a National Disgrace.

No one should be homeless. We need to build more cheaper housing. It is no good Taylor Wimbey and other builders offering new homes at £400,000 plus. These homes in the town of High Wycome are being snapped up by people from West London who have sold their houses at very high prices and move out into the Thames Valley.
This practice does not help the poor at all.

Stop paying Chief Executives of Local Authorities, Vice Chancellors of Universities, Civil Servant Manderins....£200,000 - £500,000 a year.  Stop paying BBC Executives and Presenters £200,000 - £2 Millions a year.

Start paying the unerpaid mush more. Reduce Corperations Tax on condition that they pay their workers more than average increases in wages.

Take care of the Carers. Pay them at least 30%-50% more.

All Front Line staff should get Danger Money increases of 10% per annum

Create NHS Care Homes in the future. See my article - " Future NHS Care Homes in Britain."

Respect MPs for doing a very difficult and time consuming job.

Do not believe everything you read in the Newspapers or hear on the TV. Often they get the news wrong. Remain alert.

Stop Personality bashing  of Politicians. They are only human and no one is perfect.

Let us have more positive news and not all trivial news about so called Celebrities in TV, Sport, Music. Stop woshiping them as Idols. They can sing, play football,....so What ?
How can it be right that some have fortunes of £100 Millions ? What do they want all this money for?

Respect the Queen and support the Royal Family when they deserve respect.

Speed up plans to reduce Climate changes that are and will be devastating to the Planet.

Keep the spirit of Good Neighbours going post Covid 19.

Be a good Volunteer and help your fellow citizens.

Look aftter the Elderly and do not steal their homes to pay for care. Return to the 1946 NHS Ethos..
" From the cradle to the grave ."

Stop this nonsense that the Country cannot afford to pay for improvements to Healthcare and Infrastructure. We can create money line QE - Quantative Easing - £400 Billions to ave the Banks in 2008 Financial World Crisis.

Civil Servants should be reminded that they are servants of the People and they should not talk down to people.

We need a radical review of Government Purchasing Processes. If a Compnay bids for a Contract, for example, The HR2 Project with a bid of say £30 Millions...how can the Government allow the final cost to climb to £ 100 Millions ? This is incompetence within the Civil Service and outrageous for the Government to allow this. Whatever happened to the Concept of  Project Management ?

Revise the Laws on Asylum Seekers. At the present interpretation, Millions and Millions could qualify because there is so much violence and killings in the World.

Stop allowing the God of Moneterism being the mainstay of Economic Strategy.

Let us create a new better, fairer, happier World. BUT, we have been saying this for Centuries.

TIME TO START ANEW.

Upate our view on Political Parties......We still think Labour is for the Workers and the Conservatives are for the Rich. This Image must change in furure. For Millions of people 
In Britain Today,  they still think of the Parties in an archiac manner.

We need A HUMAN CENTRIC philosophy...... Work from the botom up in Society, building a safe, no poor, no homeless Society as a priority, then strengthen the prosperty of the Middle Working Class before we reward the Rich in a reasonable level of Wellbeing.
The Unions should not be affiliated to the Labour Party. They should represent their Members rights but not support theri Labour activists.  Let their individual members use their own freedom, judgement and choice.

Is not whtat DEMOCRACY is all about ?

FOOTNOTE

At present, The Conservative Party is named....The Conservative and Unionist Party.
This is interpreted badly by the Irish Republicans living in Northern Ireland, who think it means The Party is against forever any structure of Irish Unification. The Party should change its name in future. Perhaps,simply The Conservative Party.
