While politicians bicker, parts of the NHS crumble into chaos and patients die.

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.

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
