The Health Reforms Explained.

[ypauly]

I agree Paul. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm getting older, but it seems to be more and more the case that it's all about scoring points of each other rather than actually and sincerely trying to help the country. I listen to 'Today in Parliament' on R4 most nights, and it just becomes so repetitive listening to Cameron, Milliband et al. just trying to insult each other and blame each other, each without admitting to any fault or conceding any point from their opponent. Schoolboy politics

The more I see and read the more I come to the conclusion that whitehall manderins make all the big decision and the politicians are just front men to get us to buy them. It doesn't matter who the front men are or what colour they represent as they are so reliant on the people behind the scenes that their own thoughts would go ignored anyway.
When I started to look at labours 2010 manifesto that they created in office it's like a coalition blue print, it made me think back to 1997 and Tony Blair and how he just continued with conservative policies such as further privatisation (that he campaigned against) and de-regulation (that he campaigned against) failing to reverse any of the policies of the previous goverment despite saying in opposition that it was all wrong. He could have done it, he had massive support, masses of money and the political know how, but he didn't they just carried on where the conservatives left off.

I have come to a conclusion that upsets me, and its one where we the british public have got less say in our own destinies than under totalitarian kings of the past when they allowed barons and lords to do as they please.

What we say doesn't matter, what we do doesn't matter (and has probably been made illegal) but most of all, who we vote for is irrevelent.

This is just another policy that will make politicians,lawyers and in this instance the allready wealthy (and paid twice as much as other european neighbours) doctors even more wealthy.


Bring on the revolution. Lets dig up guy faulkes and put him to work.

There's too much apathy within the general public for a revolution to take place. Nobody seems interested in politics anymore and the general consensus of anyone remotely interested seems to be that whatever happens Politicians are not serving us, we are making sure that they do what they want at our expense by not asking more questions en masse. Peaceful demonstrations are seen as orchestrated by the Lefties and unless the public wake up things will only get worse. The Media are biased and that is where the Average Jo Bloggs gets his information from.

When the Health Reforms come into play, it will be too late and God help us.
We need a public consultation nationwide. Answering questions on forms does not give us the choice of putting forward our concerns.

What we need is to decide as a whole nation to show the political classes and our so called elite that we have had enough.
I suggest orchestration voting so that every MP loses their seat decide as a group who to vote for instead.
It has been done before at a local level, martin bell springs to mind and would take a huge effort but it would be worth it.

But like you say apathy is our societies downfall, if only we were french lol

Problem with politics it's now a career!

Politicians of old, went into politics after they lined their pockets, now our days politicians enter government to line their pockets!

Apathy in the voters is something that's been encourage by our politicians for a long time. And our voices have been actively quashed with acts of parliament here and there...

Why aren't we out in the streets campaigning about petrol prices, where's the lorry drivers who all stood up to the government in the 90's? You try to arrange a protest concerning petrol prices you'll end up in prison😱

We were given the 'right' to chose under the 2006 health care act, purely because that was setting us up for the Reform Bill.. Like many other smaller acts of parliament and amendments to existing bills all leading to something bigger, all chipping away our voices and rights... Redirecting the money to the upper earners in the end..

I don't think it is because you are getting older Alan.

I have voted all my life and it was always clear who I would vote for but not anymore. If there was an election tomorrow I would abstain. That would not be because I wan't to waste a vote but because none of them have impressed me that they are trying to sort out the mess.

Why did Emily Pankhurst bother to make sacrifices so that women could vote? She must be turning in her grave at modern day Politicians' antics.

Hear flipping Hear, Cherrypie.

I'm sick to the back teeth of being put in a postion where I feel bound to apologise to her, lately.
