Description

Simon Davis, the PM for the Peoples Unite Party, was confident that in the next election, on 7 May 2015, he would be staying in 10 Downing Street behind the black door. But with the train crash into Waterloo Station and the PM being stretchered off, it was not until he reached the hospital for treatment that his panic kicked in-he had left his parliamentary red case on the crashed train. The PM was not aware that young Rob Hat had crawled into the first-class carriage to witness the benefits it had to offer. This was when Rob Hat noticed the red parliamentary case. He never knew at this juncture what the contents in this red case were. Later on, when discovery of its contents was to become public knowledge, one could be assured PM Simon Davis would be wanting to kick all his earlier confidence into the long grass. A little later in the same week, the notorious criminal Trevor Charles Baines was put to rest at Honour Oak Cemetery in South London. With his death, the millions he had stolen died along with him. It was not until Rob was in the Kilimanjaro region, helping his uncle with his tourism business that also helped the less fortunate children, that he found Baines was out on a jolly, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Even with the disguise, Baines's unique tattoo gave him away.

Acknowledgement
Thanks to my son-in-law, Paul Turvey, our daughter, Sarah, and not forgetting our granddaughter, Grace, for their support over the years and I am confident this support will continue. Thank you!
A special thanks to my wife, Yvonne, for our fast-approaching 54 years of dedication to each other.
A further special thanks to Hewlett Packard that allowed and made it possible for me to manage my many visits to Africa to help the less fortunate. Even in the USA, they gave me their support that featured in their internal magazine when Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was in the White House in 2000, commended Aid into Africa for sending 350 tonnes of educational and medical aid into the Third World.
At the same time, since 1995, Hewlett Packard paid me my fee for managing transportation for their support organisation in the UK and Ireland.
You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Abraham Lincoln
16 th US President 1809–1865
Year 2015
Even today Mr Lincoln’s quote still rings true in today’s society, and it would take a very foolish person to contradict the 16 th US President.
We are all possible of being lied to, deceived, duped, and tricked along with those who would hoodwink us to gain a substantial benefit and, of course, not forgetting those that play lip service to the truth.
The following narrative will illustrate that you can hoodwink the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot hoodwink all the people all the time.
Prologue
March 2015, with Prime Minister Simon Davis for the Peoples Unite Party, the PM will do whatever it takes to see that The Peoples Unite Party gain the keys to 10 Downing Street again. With the election due on the 7th of May, he was feeling confident that he and his party would once again be walking inside the number 10 black door.
Simon Davis’s feeling of confidence was about to be kicked into the long grass when he and his Chancellor of the Exchequer, Graham Johnson, boarded the train at Southampton Airport Parkway Railway Station to Waterloo Station.
Elsewhere, Trevor Charles Baines, one of London’s most wanted notorious professional criminals from South East London was being put to rest at Honour Oak Cemetery. Trevor Charles Baines from South East London—who was always one step ahead from being caught by the law—was being put to rest.
With the Metropolitan Police Force, none the wiser to where his millions of ill-gotten gains are, the newly promoted DI Judy Reynolds, along with her DS Jones from the Reading Police station, was in attendance. Granted, the detectives were standing back to show respect to his wife Glenda and his 30-year-old son Charlie Baines who did not deserve any respect as they say ‘like father, like son.’ The sole purpose of their attendance was to observe the last burial of the day for this renowned low life of a human being put beneath into a six-foot hole.
It was in April at the reception of the Tato Hotel. On the mountain slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro was Peter Goodman. He was waiting for Kibo Safaris for his ride to the Machame Gate to assemble with further climbers from Africa Tours to get underway for their trek up to the Roof of Africa.

Sister-in-Law
It was a beautiful sunny and warm day of March; Grace and Rob had just completed the cleaning of their last car at Premier Supreme Private Car Hire Company operating from Ladbroke Grove London.
“Rob, could you pull my wellingtons off for me?” Grace asked, unzipping her waterproof coat and plonking herself down on the bench in their cabin.
Just then, Dave Smith—the owner of the company—walked into their arch where they were working. He entered into their cabin that doubled their office and had to laugh seeing Rob struggling to get Grace’s wellingtons off.
“Rob, I see you have reported to Morris Van that you feel the clutch is slipping and might be in need of a new clutch, in which case you can leave the van here tonight. It should be fixed for your return on Monday when one of my drivers will pick you up at Saints House around 8 am.” Dave Smith said knowing fully well that Rob was going to ask about getting into Premier this Saturday.
“What? Are we walking here from the Kings George Estate tomorrow?”
“Call it a bonus. See, I am giving you both Saturdays off besides all my cars out this Saturday; hence your services will not be required. Enjoy your weekend!” the MD said walking
