I'm so surprised, but I shouldn't be, about the apathy I am finding amongst my contemporaries about the present parlous state of our Politics in the UK. The snivelling Tories and their greedy pals who used to be LibDems are running amok; causing no end of misery and getting away with it due to their success at blaming the previous Labour Government. Labour should be shouting "LIARS" from the housetops, over and again so that the message gets through to communities battling against unnecessarily harsh cuts in public spending. An approach such as Alex Salmond would make to cut them down to size might be useful. They are too soft and polite.
The latest atrocity, hidden in small print, is the 49% story. Now, via evil machinations by Andrew Lansley, private companies will be able to profit even more from our NHS because hospitals will be able to raise up to 49% of their funding from private companies when previously it was 1-2%.
Please see "Concerned4Democracy".
Why aren't the politicians who really care about MY NHS jumping up and down about this abuse of power? How can we get them to care enough to shout louder?
