Jeremy Hunt: 'Thousands More Died Than Expected' In NHS Hospitals

The house of Commons yesterday was reminiscent of a school playground. the "Yes you did !" "No I didn't !" "Its your fault !" bickering went from side to side of the commons chamber and even at one stage from one end of the government benches to the other end as Jeremy Hunt had a heated exchange with one of his "colleagues"on the Liberal Democrat benches.
Our politicians exchange abuse in their quest for cheap political points. while parts of the NHS crumble into chaos and patients die un necessarily.
History tells us that after the hot air and hand wringing has receded, yet another "reorganisation" will be imposed, the severity of which will be dependent upon which side of the house happens to be in power at the time.One side will continue with their obsession to privatise the NHS as far as possible, with the other side will install yet more layers of management to monitor performance, produce reports, assist with meeting "targets" which paradoxically makes the whole NHS even more bureaucratic and inefficient.
The fundamental problem is that every change of government spends an inordinate amount of time dismantling most of the previous governments reorganisations and introducing its own. There seems to be little attention paid to the fact that all the time that this is taking place, parts of the NHS crumble into chaos and patients die un necessarily.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey- A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
