LAND OF THE FREE

Since I have been living in America I have not been able to work yet because every time I try to get a job employers are suspicous of me and think I am an illegal immigrent, which I am. However, I and Cheryl are both trying to find similar work to what we used to do at home. Cheryl used to work at a motorway service station as a cook, and I used to work in a sweet shop.

However, because I have got a lot of time to myself, it has got me thinking in all that spare time. I have come to realise that I was right to leave England and Britain because in my opinion IT HAS GONE TO THE DOGS.

I look at the 1980s which to me was a time of greatness, and things were so much better.

In those days there were heroes who were REAL heroes, who you could look up to and realize that they were good people. They did a lot of work for charity or they were clean cut and did not take drugs. People like Cliff Richards'sis and Jimmy Saville either believed in God or did a lot of work for charity and were great embassadors for Britain. Pop stars like George Michaels and Tears For Fears did music that had tunes and they did not take drugs or were promiscous. Even the strange looking Boy George said that he preffered to drink a cup of tea to having sex!

Nowadays the papers are full of awful so called "celebreties" such as Kate Moss and Pete Dockerty of the group Babyshampoo. All they do is take drugs all the time and spend all their time in rehabitulation units. This is not a good example to set to youngsters. Roland Orzabal would not have done that! Nowadays, even 1980's pop star George Michaels has fallen into disgrace because of the modern age, and is caught sleeping in cars that have crashed into a lamp post after smoking potash, or gets up to all sorts of things in the toilets in local parks where people take their families for days out.

I am glad that I have moved to a country where there are celebreties who are fine upstanding examples to young people, such a Brittany Speares and Pamela Anderson.
