TRUE SUCCESS COMES NOT BY HOW POPULAR YOU MAY BECOME - BUT BY ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS - Pete Perry 2010

PETE AND THE ITALIAN STALLION...
Pete appeared on Roberto Perrone's BBC Three Counties Radio Drive Time show at around 6.30pm on Thursday 2nd September 2010.
He was invited by Roberto, also known as radio's Italian Stallion, because of a report in the newspapers that life begins at 54. Well, Pete met Nikki at the age of 65, when Nikki was 28, so he reckoned life began for him then!
With a lot of banter and innuendo, Pete enjoyed himself immensely, as he always does when invited on to the station.

THIS MAN HAS MORE MONEY THAN HE AND HIS FAMILY COULD POSSIBLY SPEND IN A LIFETIME...
WHILST...

THIS LADY CANNOT AFFORD TO HEAT HER HOME...
DOES ANYONE SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THAT THIS SITUATION IS FAIR AND JUST IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY?...
The UK should be thoroughly ashamed of the fact that in this country, we have billionaires that have more money than they, their families, and even there friends, could spend in a life time, whilst Our pensioners, who have worked hard all their lives, have to choose between eating and heating their homes...
ON 26th August 2010 it was reported that Widower Betty Anne Dark, aged 76, died of hypothermia during the cold winter of 2009, because she could not afford to heat her house.
IT IS A PUBLIC SCANDAL THAT OVER 25,000 PEOPLE DIE EVERY YEAR FROM THE COLD IN THE UK, WHILST POLITICIANS, SPORTMEN, BANKERS AND BUSINESS MAGNATES NOT ONLY KEEP LINING THEIR POCKETS, BUT AVOID UK TAX, - BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD TO!
HERE'S AN IDEA - PUT A CAP ON HOW MUCH ANYONE CAN HAVE IN THE BANK, INCLUDING THE BANKERS THEMSELVES - AND GIVE THE SURPLUS BACK TO THE PEOPLE....

TIME TO END THIS BIG BROTHER SOCIETY
The other day, we had a phone call from a lady claiming to represent a Government department that prevents you getting 'cold calls' on your home phone.
'How did you know we get cold calls?' Nikki asked the lady.
'Through market research', she told her, 'we buy information from various sources that have your personal details...'
'Excuse me,' Nikki retorted,' but isn't this 'market research' the very reason why we get cold calls in the first place?'
'Well yes,' the lady on the phone admitted, 'but...'
'And I suppose you charge for this service? ' Nikki asked.
'Well, it's a free service' The lady assured her.
'So there's no charge?' Nikki tried to confirm.
'Well, there is a service charge of £3 per month' the lady told her.
'In that case, it's not free, is it?' Nikki pointed out, at which point the lady hung up on her!
That set me on a course of finding out just how far our 'Big Brother' society has gone, and some of my findings may surprise you...
Unfortunately, we have all become anaesthetised to the presence of
CCTV cameras watching our every move. The authorities tell us that it is for our own good, and they are an important tool in preventing and solving crime.
REALLY? Then how come thugs like the ones that attacked my son (see Social Justice page) are continuing to get away with their crimes?
The truth is that there are many 'Big Brother' devises that have been introduced gradually, over a period of years, that hold databases on anyone who leaves themselves open to them.
You can't blame people for being taken in by these, because, like all good brainwashing methods, there is a carrot on the end of the stick...
A prime example of this is the store loyalty cards. They all have them: Tesco, Sainsb
ury's, Boots, Iceland, - and the carrot is that you are awarded points that can be turned into cash - WOW!!!
The fact is that they are paying you a measley amount, so that the store or business can make vast fortunes by selling your private details, whether they be personal, medical, business,or your shopping habits.
THINK ON THIS - EVERYTHING YOU BUY IS RECORDED ON YOUR LOYALTY CARD, - AND THIS INFORMATION IS INVALUABLE TO THIRD PARTIES.
Even details from enquiries, surveys, etc., that you may do online or after being accosted in the street by people who are giving away free balloons or whatever, builds up information on you and your shopping, hobby or holidaying habits. On top of this, every time you send an email or text message, there is someone out there collecting information on you, either to use for themselves, or sell on to interested parties.
THIS IS WHY, IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR EMAIL 'SPAM' FOLDER, YOU WILL FIND NAMES, FIRST OR SURNAMES, THAT ARE FAMILIAR TO YOU, 'NIKKI IS MISSING YOU', 'A MESSAGE FROM FRANK', 'PERRY, AN OFFER YOU CAN'T REFUSE', ETC.
CHECK IT OUT!
Amazingly, it is not only commercial businesses that do this either, - MANY GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS ARE ONLY TOO WILLING TO SELL YOUR PRIVATE DETAILS ON TO THIRD PARTIES, AND MANY OF THESE ARE PERSONAL MEDICAL DETAILS THAT ARE INVALUABLE TO DRUG MANUFACTURERS!
IN MY OPINION, ALL OF THIS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED, - COLD CALLS, JUNK MAIL, AND MOST OF ALL, THE PRACTICE OF SELLING ON PRIVATE INFORMATION.
LOVE AND PEACE
PETE PERRY
