I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed.
Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.
Then came the rubbish. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, and the table everywhere!

Then some of the birds turned mean.
They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
And others birds were boisterous and loud.
They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone.
I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like it used to be, quiet, serene, and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now let's see.
Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.

Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.
Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor.
Your child's second grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.

Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than ”ours” are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.


If you agree, pass it on; if not, just continue cleaning up the rubbish! - ----------- VOTE LEAVE

Time's Ran Out

I find those balls of fat the worst!
But now all the feeders have gone and my tiled patio has never been so clean.
This truly is a GREAT BRITAIN!
It's up to us to make it work - no more Andys days.

Let me give you another story, lads :) Just for the craic, all is decided now.

A father had five sons. One of them was a good farmer, the other one was a good hunter, the third was a good sheppard, the fourth was a good teacher, the last one was a good stonemason. All of them were good soldiers, some better than others. All of them loved their land and fought for it, whenever needed. But they fought between themselves too. Ones, the father gathered them and said: 'I am old, and my days will be soon gone. I want you to stick together.' The sons did not think so though, they had different opinions, everyone else was on the other's way. The father continued: 'bring me an armful of sticks'
He took one stick and told the youngest son to break it. He laughed and broke it at ones.
The old man gathered all the sticks together, and told the oldest son to break them. He could not.
'Why' the old man asked? They are stronger like this, all together, the sons said.

The same here, lads, we are strong together. Yes, we fight, yes we are different. If we mind more who we elect, Europe will be a smashing wonderful place! I agree there is to much 'free stuff' and this needs to stop.

To finish with a question: Why do you think Texas, California or New Your or other states are not independent countries???

Thanks for reading :) I would love to hear different opinions
