Mabinogogiblog: Debating Lansley's NHS reforms on Bristol Radio

No comments:
Well said Dr Richard Lawson!!

...I said that this is a major step towards privatising the NHS, because GPs will be required to put out to tender. It will cost £3 billion, which is stupid in a time of austerity. And that change should come bottom-up, not top-down. And I said that people should get out on the streets if they want to keep an NHS...

BBC - Democracy Live - What is happening in the House of Lords?

No comments:
Abuse of the system sufficient to bring them into disrepute I'd say! How dare the unelected, unrepresentative House of Lords act in a way, especially by time-wasting 'talking out', that may prevent the people having a referendum on a new, fairer voting system. Beneficiaries of the current undemocratic system they certainly are. The sooner the House of Lords is replaced by a properly constituted and elected second chamber the better.

BBC - Richard Black's Earth Watch: Summit misses the 'C-word'

...On the other hand, if world governments do decide in coming years that they're seriously concerned enough about climate change to initiate a full-scale transition to renewables-based generation, a massive investment in renewables manufacturing and deployment now could prove to be a good long-term move...

Indeed Richard Black. They should follow the best quality evidence - and that says invest, invest, invest in efficiency and renewables now, its best for both the economy and the environment!!

BBC News - UK unemployment total rises further

1 comment:
Fat bonuses for bankers who, with the help of Labour and Tory politicians, help form a UK and world capitalist economy that went into a crisis that's far from over - and a coalition government that is taking us even further down the capitalist road. Not only do we have rising inflation but the capitalist 'genius' is also bringing simultaneous high and rising unemployment (not to mention inequality, resource depletion, pollution, waste, falling quality of life...). Get these people out of power!

UK unemployment rose by 49,000 to almost 2.5 million in the three months to the end of November, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said.
One in five 16 to 24-year-olds are now out of work, after a rise of 32,000 to 951,000 without jobs, the highest figure since records began in 1992...
