In passing, I would also suggest that you turn off the Downing Street room lights, particularly during the hours of daylight, and also turn off the office, factory, hotel and business complex's when the lights are not in use. (Have a look at London or any other city on this planet, from the air at night). Do not blame m...

http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/mar/31/nhs-users-pay-membership-charge NHS users should pay £10 a month, says former health minister Former Health Minister Lord Warner Imposing a monthly levy for everyone to use the NHS. A proposal from a former Labour Minister, who now sits in the house of Lords. This dinosaur from the House of dinosaurs should feel ashamed of his Guardian article, but clearly will feel no remorse as he reaches for his pen to complete another House of Lords.expenses claim . Warner, a appointee of Blair, (now there's a surprise) now works with the right wing think tank "Reform" and has co-authored a report that says "dramatic action is needed". It makes no mention, at least none reported, of what effect that would have on the sick or disabled, pensioners, unemployed or other members of our society who would in all probability, be unable to afford yet another extortion of money from already stretched budgets, with the...

Historically, Labour, (or at least the Labour party which I once belonged to) have been opposed to the concept of tuition fees and paying for education as it creates the iniquity of only "the rich" being able to afford university places and perpetuates a society where money is infinitely more important than ability. The Bullingdon Club The "New Labour" of Blair and Brown, to their eternal shame, introduced the idea of tuition fees, and the Tory dominated ConDem coalition with the enthusiastic support of Clegg and his band of duplicitous rouges, pushed through legislation to hike the fees, (notwithstanding their pre election vo...

For as long as Labour continue with the delusion that they can somehow be better at being Tory than the Torries are, they will never be more than a second choice in the morass of the political "center ground", as they seek to convince people that their policies for managing the capitalist system are better than the policies of the party who have been filling that role for most of the last 150 years. In fact, the vast majority of the Parliamentary Labour Party and its policy guru's would be more at home politically and intellectually, sitting somewhere between the Tory left and the Liberal Democrat right. When people are given ...

But for the relatives of the 239 passengers and crew, the failure to retrieve a single piece of debris to date is excruciating. Kathy Marks, "Independent":Saturday 29 March 2014 "Tantalisingly close to finding the wreckage". Now what on earth does that mean? "Wreckage" is either there, or it isn't.

When Russia "persuades" other nations to vote (or not) in a particular way, such actions are described as threats and blackmail. When the United States (and the United Kingdom), use the same tactics, it is described as lobbying and diplomacy. The arrogance and hypocrisy of the USA, the UK and the vast majority of the western media, is truly breathtaking.

Ed Miliband. The "policy" to control energy prices is popular amongst a large proportion of the public, (aka. voters). The only question is which, of the variants from each of the major parties solutions to achieve the same objective, will the voters select as their preferred option? Each segment of the Coalition, Miliband's version of Labour, and soon no doubt to be joined by Farange and his UKIP, compete with each other to offer what they hope will be the most popular solution to solve the problem and "deal with the broken energy market" and finally end the energy companies cartel in the supply and distribution of energy in this cou...

More at home in the Conservative party? The Labour leader Ed Miliband has ordered his MPs to back the cap on overall welfare spending. This instruction to elected MP's, or at least the reasoning behind the order, demonstrates how far the Labour Party and its leadership has drifted away from the traditional base and principles of the Labour movement. Were this directive, enthusiastically endorsed by Balls and supported by the entire front bench of the Parliamentary Labor party, based on any sound economic benefit, then there may, just may, be some grounds for supporting such a policy. However, there is no such economic reasoning and the Labour MP's at least the majority of them, will troupe into the "Aye" lobby in support of the ConDem coalition and their Tory m...
