Open Door!!

      Since this covid19 pandemic I, like lots of others, have been reading articles on how we should tackle it and the problems that it has thrown up in the running of this society. What I find very disappointing is that a tremendous amount of articles, even some from the so called "left", keep advocating what the government should be doing and how it can solve this problem better than it seems to be doing at present. It seems to be impossible for some people to think and act outside the the rule book they have been handed, and they also fail to realise that the government and the large corporations are one and the same thing. To discuss how the government can solve this problem in favour of the ordinary people, is a bit like asking you gaoler to help you escape.
      To me the first step is to throw away the rule book which is based on a growing economy, stop playing the game to their rules. All solutions to our problems must be human based, not corporate balance sheet orientated. The present economic model is there to serve the millionaire/billionaire parasite class, why should we, the ordinary people, do anything to preserve such an unequal exploitative system. Let's not forget, all that money that is being thrown at big multi billion pound corporate businesses is your tax money. One way or another we will be asked to pick up the bill. Our future will be tied that that mountain of "debt" for generations to come with the resulting austerity demanded to reduce the debt and balance the books. You've heard it all before.

I need a taxpayer's bailout to keep this thing going. 
 
     Our answer lies not in getting the economy growing again, but bring it crashing down. What we need we should be the owners of that production and the distributors, and doing it for our selves and our communities, not shoveling the wealth we produce into the coffers of that millionaire/billionaire parasite class that grow fat off your effort and sweat.
      Sustainability, human needs based, mutual aid, co-operation between communities, taking control of our work places and distribution centres, and free from the profit motive, are the only foundation stones of a truly civilised society. Anything else is walking back into your cell when the door was open to leave.

UK Corporate Health Service.


      When the millionaire Cameron cabal said that the NHS is safe in their hands, he really meant in their hands, the hands of his millionaire friends in the corporate greed machine. Make no mistake, that's where it is going. The NHS is being sliced and diced into bite size pieces for the corporate profit mongers to gobble up and milk, to feed their addiction, loads of profit.
      Several of the big corporate greed machines are bidding for a £689 million contract to provide cancer care in Staffordshire. A second contract worth £535 million and again in Staffordshire, will cover end of life care. This will be where cancer patients have had all the expensive treatment from the NHS that they can have, and have no cure. The profit mongers will build large units where the only treatment will be opiates. They will be run like the private homes for the care of the elderly, staffed by under paid, under trained, over worked staff, while the coffers of the profit mongers overflow with tax payers money. There will be the usual leak of ill treatment of patients, and the usual bland "lessons have been learnt" crap. That's a massive slice of the NHS in one area, £1.22 billion hived off to the friends of the Cameron Club. We also have the nice Mister Branson with his lucrative £500 million contract to provide various health services in Surrey. If they get away with it in Surrey and Staffordshire, there is no doubt they will roll it out across the rest of the country.
      If there is anyone who doesn't see this as privatisation of the NHS, they must be brain dead. When and where was any party given a mandate to sell off the NHS to their rich friends?
      Unless we wake up now, to the fact that we have a group of bankers friends in charge of the NHS, who are hell bent on hiving it off to those friends, we will eventually wake up to no NHS. It will take a concerted effort by all unions and interested groups to wrestle back that which is ours from the slime grasp of the financial Mafia. What they are doing cannot be deemed legal, likewise, what we do to retain our NHS does not need to be legal. Every means at our disposal must be utilised before we are completely in the hands of the corporate beast, for all our health care.

UK POLICE,PLC.


         A recent report states that Richard Branson's Virgin company paid the London Metropolitan Police more than £5,000 after police raids aimed at proving television set-boxes were being used to view channels without paying. It is very likely that the police only conducted the raids because of the money offered by Virgin. This is a trend that we will see more of as the state hands over more and more to the corporate world. The present philosophy of privatising everything from education to health will continue and there is no ideological reason why the police can't be run by the highest bidder. Police priorities will shift according to who is prepared to pay the most, as state funding dwindles the police force will be obliged to raise money from its activities and eventually show a profit. What chance will you have then if your house is burgled, or a member of your family is ripped of in some scam, if the big paying police customers want them to spend their time trying to track down those who might be downloading their stuff for free on the internet. He who pays the piper calls the tune. Corporate fascism is well and truly embedded.
