POLITICIANS NOT SAFE IN DEMOCRACY NOT TODAY



It is a very sad day when MP Jo Cox died because she believed in democracy and was also fighting for migrants. RIP. It is very sad if a 41 year old lady gets gunned down and stabbed several times. What has this society come to?


This event raises a string of question about the safety of politicians. At the House of Parliament they are safe without a doubt because of security checks and armed police.

One fact weighs heavily against democracy at the present. If you have democracy you got to have a strict and just Justice. At the moment it does not exists. Drug dealers, burglars, rapists and paedophiles get mostly a warning after umpteenth convictions and if they get a prison sentence it will be halved to a few months. Murderers get life but life means 15, 20 or 25 years and on good behaviour will be reduced.

If they can claim a mental health problem, some do have and some claim they did not know what they were doing in that moment, they go into a mental secure hospital like most probably this murderer will. But his action of building a gun does not show he did not know what he was doing. Therefore the Justice needs a real wake-up and the Government to stop closing down prisons especially with a situation we have at moment. People seem to kill for the least reason.

The danger lurks when they are in their own constituencies. A survey revealed that 43 MPs out of 239 were victims of actual or attempted attacks.


This is an unacceptable situation when a MP cannot voice their opinion and fight for other people without being attack by somebody who does not agree with it.


The question is how to protect them? In short it is impossible. MPs are constantly exposed at the street or when they keep surgeries. They have to meet the public constantly.


The only idea which the Common authorities could come up with to have an aide with them when they have the surgery meeting. A Panic button which connects them direct to the Police and MI5 would also give them some protection.


All in all it has come to a terrible state in having a democracy and not being able to protect its politicians totally. Due to a number of movements the freedom which the previous generation knew is going to disappear slowly but definitely. It is exactly what these various groups want to strike fear and rule by fear.

Finally, the conclusion is that British democracy means MPs will not be safe anymore. Even democracy itself becoming doubtful the ways the Government is overruling all the time and Brussels is ruling more and more the UK.

ISRAEL FINAL STRAW OF INHUMANITY Update 26 Jan., 2017


Update 26 Jan., 2017 --
Israel announced that they will build 500 settlement on the West Bank. It means that the rest of the Palestinians will be moved, in other word wiped out.


If you look at the map there is hardly anything left of Palestine any more. Israel played havoc ever since they were given the land.

The UN never objected to anything Israel done to the Palestinian people. Why?

They shot and kill Palestinians and nobody objects. They bombed Gaza for 50 days and nobody stood up to them and stopped them. USA completely supports Israel no matter what;  because they need a safe place in the Middle East with a ready arsenal.

They go, at night, into houses of Palestinians and arrest very young boys. What happen to them nobody seems to know.

The NAZIS did not do any different.

Call this article anti-Semitism or Nazi apologizer but this is the final straw by Israel to turn off the water in the Israeli occupied West Bank.

My generation had the experiences and know what it means to run to the standpipe for every drop of water. Especially in the West Bank where there are high temperatures it is as inexcusable as the Holocaust.

The headlines should be all full of this cruelty inflicted by Israel but not one papers said even one small line of contempt.

Ever since Israelis received their "promised Land" they never stopped warring with their neighbours and managed to increase the "promised Land" tenfold. Already on signing over 750,000 Palestinian people were made to leave.

After that Palestine kept shrinking and Israel expanding. The USA Israel's main backer never said a word and told them to stop. Why? Is it because USA, which also loves to start a war wherever they can or decide, needed a stockpile of weaponry in the Middle East.

It is also condemnable the barricade of Gaza's harbour for decades yet USA and the West do not condemn it or stop Israel. Who gives them the right and what is the UN doing suppose to keep peace, freedom and justice?

When Israel claimed that three soldiers were murdered they started to bomb Gaza for 50 days. Not one word in the press against the atrocity and 2,000 people died and many more injured some life long. When eventual UN started to stop it Israel went into the West Bank found the three soldiers' grave and shot three Palestinians without proof or court procedures.

Apparently people in Gaza still live in ruins despite people in the UK collected thousands of pounds to help. Is that right and what happened to the money? It is obvious the people did not  get it.
It has also been reported that Israel still drops bombs on Gaza. Again not a word in the press or any contempt.

After the truce was signed on Gaza Israel went to the West Bank and enclosed 800 ha land pulled down villages and drove the people off. Not a word in the press or from the USA, West or the UN. Israeli soldiers in the West Bank go at night into homes and arrest children, mainly boys for interrogation. It is not  know for how long or what happened to those children.

When Israelis got their "promised Land" they should have been the happiest people on earth and live in peace with the Palestinians and their neighbours. They experienced the Holocaust and therefore know how it feels when a powerful dictatorship steps down on you. So why doing the same thing?

Apparently from the maps in 1948 to todays it shows the destruction to the Palestinian people and their land. How many have died either immediately or slowly because of harsh condition is hard to find out? By judging of the maps it must be hundreds of thousands if not millions.

And now they introduced cutting off the water in a hot place like the West Bank many will die of heat stroke and heart attacks.  Where is the USA, UN, West, all Jewish people round the World and Human Rights supporting not desperate people like Palestinians?

It is obvious Israel will not give up till they drove every Palestinian person from the land. Final Solution no difference, Again the world looks on and does nothing.

Why was Hitler not stopped earlier? He was in power since 1933 and the Allies only declared war when he invaded countries. They did not stop him when he was killing the Jews and the top leaders all knew it.

Ford manufacturer even supported Hitler financially. It is not making an excuse for the Nazis' Holocaust but the fact is unless somebody supported them financially in a very big way they could not have risen to this powerful position. Germany had high inflation at that time.  

So who was behind Hitler and the real cause of all the destruction? They knew Hitler was in a mental home, declared incurable, and did not stop the persecution of Jews. They are the guilty ones but they are too powerful to be prosecuted and in a safe background.

The same organisations are behind Israel and USA which causing again nothing but death and destruction. 

TORIES NEARLY BROKEN NHS Update 14, Nov.2016



UPDATE: 14 Nov., 2016 --
BBCNews announced today that there is a plan of 44 cuts of NHS hospital and A&E closures. Details are secret but it would surely cripple the NHS more. Where are the promised £8bn for the NHS? PM May is worse than Cameron and the soonest a Snap Election is held the better.

Richard Branson, owner of Virgin, bought 200 contracts from the NHS for £700million. Branson is known, from his trains, to cut service and staff to the bare minimum or even beyond if possible. PM May none the better.

UPDAYE 15 July, 2016 --
Mr Hunt has been re-elected as Health Secretary and is at the moment negotiating a contract to privatise the Senior Staff Section, obviously nothing has changed. He has not solved the Junior Doctors' strike and already privatise another section.

The Tories are still determined to break the NHS. High time there is a General Election and the Real Labour comes in with Jeremy Corbyn to save the NHS in the eleventh hours.

My Opinion: Has the PM David Cameron kept his word to pay NHS £8billion? My guess is as good as any other person that he has not. He promised in GE2010 and GE2015 the NHS is safe in his hands. In the GE2015 he will pay £8billion into the NHS. None of the promises had been med or the contrary he breaking the NHS more and more. 

The Tory Government has done everything to break the NHS ever since they got into power. They are determined to privatise it, like the USA, so the insurances can have a bonanza and the Tories in shares.  Everyone knows the situation in America; if you do not have an insurance you will not be treated even if your life depends on it. The insurance in the USA are so expensive that many people can not effort it.


Despite all the effort to break the NHS PM David Cameron announced in the two General Election the NHS is safe in their hands. Even now with the EU referendum vote coming up he trumpets about the NHS is safe if voted to remain in EU membership. Does he really belief people swallow it again?
Even Brussels was honest about and stated that remain in Europe would they would stop the NHS.


By now the voters must be feeling like a rotating door in a storm.


NHS leaders put out a rescue plans to safe the closure of the A&E at the North Middlesex Hospital which treats 500 patients a day. Bart Health which is the biggest trust in the UK runs The Royal London offered to help. The hospital faced a loss of 26 junior doctors because they did not get the necessary training.


New consultants will find a new incentive at the North Middles Universal Hospital by gaining experiences at The Royal London in Whitechapel and hopefully it will save the 26 junior doctors and the A&E. They will be doing shifts in one of the world's top trauma centres.


If the North Mid A&E would have to be closed none of the nearby hospitals have the capacity to cope with the extra number of patience.


But apparently it did not worry David Cameron who replied when questioned at parliamentary Premier Question Time: "Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt will continue to monitor this closely." It is again an answer which says everything and nothing for which Mr Cameron really excels himself whenever a question is put to him.


This is no way a Prime Minister should contact himself because people wants to know when asked and deserve a proper answer.

ORLANDO SHOOTER WORKED FOR G4S





When it emerged that the Orlando killer was working for G4S their shares dropped to the lowest since 2009. G4S is one of David Camron's biggest contractors.


Omar
Mateen pledged alliance to the Islamic State before he went to the Pulse gay Club in Orlando and killed 50 people. He had work for G4S since 2007.

Mateen was questioned twice by G4S and cleared but the company admitted they knew he was also questioned by the FBI in 2013 for possible terror links.

The revelation deals several doubts about security and checks on employees by G4S. The company was already in the headlines regarding their contract of tagging prisoners when released on probation. It had been found that the company charged for tagging prisoners who died or lived abroad or still in prison. In other words Fraud.


G4S also won the contract to guard the Olympics 2012. Already at that time the Olympics were regarded under a high potential threat from terrorism. G4S should have made double sure it was safe but 10 days  before the Opening Ceremony it was found out that G4S did not have nearly enough security guards to prevent an attack. Furthermore, a
whistle blower pointed out the slapdash of their checking out the applicants.

PM David Cameron ignored it all which should be his embarrassment with his contractor and deployed the army, some came back from Afghanistan and their leave was cancelled, and the police. Both done a fantastic stop but just a few months before Mr Cameron axed Armed Forces and police by the thousands. It shows his attitude towards the Armed Forces and Police.


G4S despite of big slip-ups which should have never happened to a security firm kept their contracts with the Government.


The very fact that the FBI questioned Omar
Mateen showed a risk in security even though FBI did not find enough evidence. In 2013 Mateen had an argument with a co-worker about terrorist related comments and also was alleged of links to a suicide bomber in Syria.

It should have been enough for G4S to have their doubts about Mateen
to work as a security for the firm.

CHAIN STORES SUPERMARKETS IN TROUBLE Update 10 April, 2019

AND BIG CORPORATIONS GO BANKRUPT

With all the endless redundancies and bankruptcies of big chain stores how can PM May and Philip Hammond insist on falling unemployment and economy improving????? Unemployment figure drop because of sanctions and zero-hours-contracts are not registered whether they get work or not!!!! Tories try to be clever but its not fool-proof; public is aware of it that therefore Tories can't fool them!!!!!  

Why are they lying? Everybody knows the facts!!! 

The full impact of the £12bn Welfare cut is still to come plus £16bn Social Service cut will bring more redundancies.

Update 10 April, 2019
Debenham announced to have gone into Administration today - Sports Direct tried to save it and landlord offered a reduction of rent but management turned all down and into administration. So far they closing down 50 stores but if full bankruptcy is announced it will affect 25,000 staff to lose their jobs, Will their pension pot also vanish like Tata Steel and BHS? 

Update 3 March, 2018 - Toys R Us gone bankrupt with 3,000 staff made redundant.

Lloyds are reducing their staff by 2,000.

Update 5 Feb., 2018 -- Homebase plans to close 40 stores out of 250 and 2,000 staff will be made redundant. It is owned by ab Australian.

Update 24 Jan., 2018 -- Sainsbury announced tens of thousands of floor workers to be made redundant. Tesco will cut 1,200 office staff and up to 10,000 in stores.

Update 18 Oct., 2017 - Sainsbury reducing their staff by 2000 probably in the already worse-off areas. 

Update 27 Sept., 2017 -
Toys-are-us are going bankrupt and thousands of workers losing their jobs.

Update 11 August, 2017 -
Wilkinson announced to have big redundancies. It is not a surprise, since the further £12bn cuts starts to bite.

Update 20 April, 2017 -
Debenhams and Marks & Spencer are planning to close stores. Another jobs loss and most probably in deprived areas.


Philip Hammond the new Chancellor but so far there seems no improvement for the general public. 

The Tory Government will not accept that their austerity and cut-backs result into less buying power, reducing manufacturing ending into low economy. At the same time the fat cats getting bigger but their do not spent their money in the UK but in tax haven.

UK has the highest number of fat cats and the biggest gap between rich and poor.

Fashion chain store NEXT announced a disappointing Christmas sale and their shares dropped by 14 per cent. It bound to have a scaling down effect on staff and stores.

Update 9 Jan., 2017 -- Tesco announced it will axe over 1,000 sradd this week.

HSBC bank plans to axe 6,000 staff 

UPDATE: 5 Nov., 2016 -- Marks & Spencer plan to close a number of their shops as well as reducing oversees. It means another thousands of staff loosing their jobs. 

UPDATE: 5 July, 2016 -
Chain grocery stores NETTO, a branch of Sainsbury, is closing down with a loss of 400 jobs.

Chancellor George Osborne's austerity is having a devastating effect even so he does not admit it.


Tory Government constantly claiming bringing down unemployment. They can kid themselves but will not blindfold the public.

Now on top of it the £12billion Welfare cut plus £16billion council cuts. What does he think people live on? He and David Cameron keep trumpeting about the "hard working people" yet they don't have any calm to cut them down to nothing.

Already one chain store British Home Store (BHS) collapsed because consumer just have not got any spare money to buy goods. It will costs 11,000 jobs and the Government, like with Steel, does not lift a finger. There too the pension pot went missing worth £530million. There is no excuse of pensions going missing so why does the Government let it happened?


The chain stores Next is also showing slowdowns in clothing. Management fear sales could fall by as much as 3.5 per cent this year for 540-strong chain store. The management is now hoping for sales to improve in May but experts already have their doubts.


Sainsbury beginning to feel the pressure. It had its second consecutive decline in annual profits. Although the sales showing show higher figures due to reduced prices but it is not enough to offset falling prices. Share showing a reduction of 5 per cent.


Sainsbury trying to cure the problem with buying Argos.  Will the management pull it off remains to be seen?  To judge by the numbers of customer coming out of the stores experts having their doubts. Already everything is heavily discounted.


Tesco is bulldozing across the consumer market with high pricing power and efficiencies it is able to floor its rivals.


Many or most of the small shops have long gone and are boarded up. The high street is littered with it just like at Thatcher's time. Why do Tories, when in power, always have an devastating effect on economy and people? 

Altogether it seems to come to the point which was predicted at the beginning of Chancellor George Osborne's austerity. It is a simple arithmetic; austerity and Welfare cuts withdrew money from the pocket of the public.  If people have no money they stop buying.  Chancellor George Osborne was warned more than once but he would not have it. Where is the sense is behind is anyone guess? The fact remains that he had two consecutive recessions and nearly avoided the third.


 The Pound was downgraded from sixth to sevenths in the Credit Rating. Plus another £115billion were added in 2014/15 to the National debts. Cameron was blaming and pinting the finger at Labour and promise to improve the economy, lower debt and deficit. The Debts are now £516billion more and deficit highest for 67 years since 2010.


All this malfactunal achievements were done since 2010 when the Tories came into power and they have now the audacity to paint the future  black if the people would vote for Brexit.


Looking back at the unemployment, starvation, welfare cuts and 2,300 known people who committed suicide because of the disability beneifit cuts it leaves the question can it get any worse?

HUNT PLANS CUT £170M FROM PHARMACIES FUNDING


A man who would not pay for his private language lesson to be able to speak to his wife's family. He added to his expense, in other words taxpayers paid for it.

Jeremy Hunt - Health Secretary - plans to cut £170million funding for community pharmacies which will effect 12,000 chemists.

It will not only hurt the elderly who rely most on the local chemist but another big loss of jobs.


According to records one million using those chemists a year which also results in a turnover of merchandise.


It will put more pressure on
GPs because people use pharmaceuticals for advice which only recently people had been told to use the chemists more to reduce GPs' appointments. It would have an effect on A+E because  people will be seen to immediately while doctors' appointment take a few weeks.

Emily
Holzhausen, director of policy at Carers UK said: "Pharmacies play a valuable role in supporting carers; providing advice and information that helps them to look after the elderly, disabled and their own health too, linking them up with support in the community.

"Pharmacies are more accessible than
GPs and can offer a range of helpful service like home deliveries and free flu vaccinations."

Department of Health spokeswoman said: " We need a modern and efficient pharmacy service and we believe this can be done without reducing quality or access.


"We have proposed a funding scheme that will help the community pharmacies that people depend on most to thrive, while we make the savings that are needed."


This is a lot of white-wash again. Whatever reform the Tories tried to do went into a total mess and has not been sorted out yet. Furthermore, any proposal funding will be cut in the next round. Tories cannot hoodwink the people anymore.


There is also the valuable point that over one million customers pay well for the upkeep with a high amount of merchandise turnover. The special trained people will be unemployed and claim unemployed benefit. So where is the great saving?

It will be another brainstorm of the Tories which ends up in a mess like the reform of the Department of Work and Pensions into Universal Credit which supposed fully functional since 2014.


It costs so far £500million for the computer which is still not working properly and only used for a  very low percentage of work. For extra staff a £1.3million a year and to round it off a £44million bonuses for the mess. Not to forget over 2,300 lives from suicide or starvation because their  benefits were withdrawn.


Atos, a French company, received £1million for their assessments which left 700,000 applicants behind when they dropped out. An assessment which was already done by doctors and specialists.

Not to have
learned their lesson they engaged Maximus, payment unknown, which told people with incurable illnesses they get better when they go to work and signed them off.  Finding work which is not available for 1,9million healthy people - officially - and 1,9million put on Zero-hours-contract to reduce the unemployment figure.

ANOTHER DIRTY TRICK TO DISABLED PEOPLE Updated 5 Feb., 2018



Update 5 Feb., 2018 -- Ester McVey has now replaced David Gauke. It is the fifth time since 2016. McVey is a controversial figure. She voted for all the cuts that had been made. A demand has been made for her resignation.  


Update 4 Oct., 2017 -- Damien Green was replaced by David Gauke in June. MPs asked for a delay of the new Universal Credit which suppose to include all benefit payments and payable every two weeks or one monthly. Mr Gauke ignored the plea and will roll it out within one month or two.

The new Universal Credit bound to be for the advantage of the Government and include more benefit cuts. 

Update 11 April, 2017 -- PM May cold bloodedly let the proposed cuts on Personal Independence Payment go ahead which hurt the most vulnerable disabled people. 900 care workers leave their job every day but surely PM May and DWP couldn't care less otherwise she would not have agreed to it.

Cuts to child care, housing benefit and disabled people from £102 per week to £73 came into effect from 1 April, 2017. Its a £30 pw cut which will have a devastating effect on already worst off people. Do not forget they will also have to pay spare Bedroom Tax. There will be an endless stream of death from starvation, homelessness and suicide.


Updated 7 Oct., 2016 -- The Department of Work and Pensions Secretary is now Damien Green.

UPDATE: 19 July, 2016 --
Piti Patel is now the new DWP Minister but will report back to Ian Duncan Smith who is the DWP Secretary.

By all previous accounts the two could not be better match and is worse for the poor and disabled. Both were in several scandal of claiming money -  taxpayers' money.

Is it another dirty trick that thousands of disabled people are being blocked to get through to the benefit line.

The Tories are really excelling themselves in efficiency and perfectly run departments. Wherever they can cut and causing a mess to already under hardship people they do it.

Callers can not sign up for the Personal Independence Payments (PIP) 18,949 times due to "heavy demands" from January till April which equals 4,700 a month.

It cuts out 1.7 per cent of all calls to the Department of Work and Pension (DWP). Furthermore the PIP line charges 45p a minute. Has any of the high-earners of Government thought about it and realised what it means for a hard-up disabled person to pay 45p a minute? They just have not a clue because all their expenses are paid by the taxpayers on top of it.

These two points above alone are sickeing but typical Tories. They will not cut the over 50 chief executives of the NHS earning £500,000 each plus bonuses but cut and squeeze every penny out of people. Yet, at the same time, swinging great speeches about their concern with the hard-working people.

The free PIP claim line only 0.04 per cent got through. What clever ideas all round.

Another scandal Ian Duncan Smith charge 45p to talk about benefits. ISD hopped about when Chancellor George Osborne announced the £12billion Welfare cut and resigned when Osborne done a U-turn with the pension. He is that kind of character.

Only very recently the Independence Living Allowances had been change to PIP and as always the result is a mess withholding payments which are urgently needed. As they say "there is always a method in the madness" and the changeover must be beneficial to the Government.

Statics show that Tories' cuts to help disabled people have increased to over £24billion since 2010 and Cameron can be proud of the achievement as well as of the cost of 2,300 peoples' lives by either suicide or starvation. It will be worse when the new £12billion Welfare cut come into effect.

What a record for a Prime Minister who supposed to be there for the benefit of the people.

This year, with the new £12billion Welfare cuts on top of already hardship comes into effect it is estimated that half a million people loose a further £1,500 a year in support. What do these fat cats think people live on? There are over one million people fed by foodbanks to keep them alive and in a seventh richest country.

It is pointless to write down the DWP spokesman statement which was such a load of rubbish and offensive to the disabled people.

Yet, the Prime Minister paid out £700million to Serco and G4S when both delivered rotten services.

He also was determined to enter the bombing of Syria which brought nothing but enemies and each mission costs £500million.

He grants MPs, every year, another rise of 10 per cent who have all the expenses paid for by the taxpayers.

Now 26 MPs are under police investigation accused of fiddling 2015 Election Expenses.

The Government is nothing but a disgrace to the country and its people
