NHS now turns to killing off the new born!

The week before last I posted a blog with the very startling headline "The NHS is a 'moral mistake' - Senior Establishment Figure" which linked to an article describing how elderly people were being deliberately neglected in a manner which amounted to murder. Note the following direct quote:

Now we hear from the Health Service Ombudsman, Ann Abraham, that it frequently neglects old people, often to the extent of killing them.

This morning the Independent reveals unsurprising facts on infant mortality within the NHS. Read it from here 'British maternity wards in crisis', while the Daily Telegraph, in a column by Martin Beckford, asks 'How did David Cameron get in this mess' opening with a picture of a vandalised poster of Cameron making his stupid pre-election pledge on the NHS, which to this writer carries more of a message on his having handed the governance of the country to the Germans, rather than any statement on health!

This posting is however mainly about the NHS, for which there is only one cure, just as in the Treaties delivering our subjugation to the EU, both must be scrapped. The country's navel gazing on health blinds it to our poverty and the lack of sufficient sovereignty which prevents us from reversing it.

Can Cameron and Clegg grasp these fundamental facts? Nothing they have done to date indicates that they have sufficient vision or even the ability to discern the true awfulness of the situation!

The NHS is a "moral mistake" - Senior Establishment Figure

Charles Moore, former longstanding editor of the Daily Telegraph, has slammed the shambles that is the NHS, which Osborne should have brutally pruned in his budget yesterday, in place of further taxing the North Sea oil industry and one of our main hopes for the slim chance of an eventual economic recovery. Furthermore and even more critically at present, North Sea energy in a declining phase thus needs extra tax incentives as it provides a protection against the ever growing middle-east chaos. The oil companies will inevitably be forced to recoup the two billion pounds of extra costs raised by raising their prices to Brtitain's motorists, the UK market being a distinct tax area which includes UK Continental Shelf activities.

Looking to the disgraceful NHS, where waste, inefficiency and indolence thrive in an equally unsanitary environment, the latest report arriving in my immediate circle, for example, being that of a young mother suffering an infected wound some weeks after a caesarean section.

The report referred to in this post's headline, appeared in the Spectator Magazine on 19th February, overlooked on first reading.The statement is so significant, I quote it in full herewith, it is linked here:

The National Health Service has now lived almost long enough to test its claim of full treatment ‘from cradle to grave’. 

Certainly most of those now dying under its care have paid taxes for it throughout their working lives, in the name of this proposition. Now we hear from the Health Service Ombudsman, Ann Abraham, that it frequently neglects old people, often to the extent of killing them. Why does this surprise anyone? It is in the nature of a service which forbids genuine choice to patients that it will end up suiting the convenience of those who work in it rather than meeting the needs of the sick. Until money truly follows the patient, each old person walking into a hospital will be seen by those working in it as an additional burden, getting in the way of treating others. More than 60 years of state medicine have almost killed off the original Christian ‘Big Society’ motives behind nursing and replaced them with trade union ones. The wider culture increasingly sees ‘assisted’ dying as positively virtuous, and the contempt that this implies for the value of an old person’s life therefore spreads through the nursing profession. The old people now being killed by the NHS are of the generation which most fervently believed in it. Their hopes are being dashed. We shall never have humane health care in this country until we understand that the creation of the NHS — though not the subsidy of health care for the poor — was a moral mistake.

This blog editor has crusaded against the NHS since his first experience of it in the nineteen-fifties, read one recent quote here. It is refresshing to have such a senior former mainstream journalist join this cause, the essential point is still being missed however, this being, if normally healthy individuals cannot at the outset be made responsible for their own personal hygiene, physical health, fitness and well-being, why should we expect them to be responsible for all the other aspects of a normal human life?

The NHS is sucking the lifeblood from Britain

Now the fascists exempt from any expenditure cuts are demanding the right to breath test all pregnant women for evidence of smoking.

Tobacco has nowhere near wrought as much damage on the country as has the message delivered by the NHS that the state is responsible for individual health!

Oppression starts with the notion that we are not individually in charge of our own fates.

Cutting state funding to the NHS will quickly show how caring our medical professions still remain. Local provision of care for the truly sick and incapacitated will return a sense of community to towns cities and villages up and down the country. The great charitable hospitals built by the Victorians were largely as a result of foundations and charitable donations stolen by the state in the chaos that followed World War II. How much does your GP pocket each year?

What right do supposed non-fascists have to impose compulsory breath tests? Read the report here.

Maybe the real policy of the Coalition Government is to reveal the true waste and inefficiency of the NHS by leaving them sufficient rope to hang themselves, if so then "Bravo" are law and order, justice, education, helping the unemployed etc., all really less important than this kind of nonsense?

The NHS cannot continue

The Independent in an interesting series of articles this morning on the new era of austerity for Britain describes the squeeze to be put on the ridiculous NHS, link here.

As repeatedly pointed out on this blog, if people cannot be made responsible for their own health they are likely to become irresponsible in other areas!

The Guardian also tries to alert its readers to the reality behind the spin of Demented Darling's budget, read here.

Britain's Debts of Trillions requires ACTION Now!

By the time one strips out the ridiculous optimism of Demented Darling's economic growth projections, add in the IMF identified missing 140 billion pound bank bail out costs and recall that the City of London bears a large part of responsibility for the Global Recession making decent tax revenues from that source unlikely over the coming years any idiot should be able to see that action on public spending is needed TODAY.

The Times has a good budget summary linked here.

Instead of rushing to meet Brown to discuss Daily Allowances for our maggot Members of Parliament (oh what a typical move was that) the Leaders of the two opposition parties should have been demanding early action on the rising debt IMMEDIATELY.

First should come a ceiling on all salaries paid by the taxpayers from 1st May for 2 years at the national average income for the last financial year. This would of course apply across the board, Judges, Civil Servants, Ministers, MP, Doctors the whole kit and caboodle of those who feed off the corpse of a bankrupt state.

Second, as finally voiced in the Chamber of the House of Commons yesterday by John Redwood MP, the Europe Minister should be immediately sent to inform the EU Commission that the raised contributions agreed by Blair, a principal perpetrator of this disaster, can no longer be afforded by the country BUT with the added advice that Great Britain cannot afford to participate in the farce of the June EU elections to the EU Parliament, nor send any MEP to Strasbourg for the next five years at an annual cost of well over one million pounds per head for absolutely zero return.

Third, read my posts from the start of this year, linked here and here.

A Murderous Prime Minister?

Consider this question asked by the Prime Minister Gordon Brown in the chamber of the House of Commons yesterday accompanied by a hand gesture to his own cabinet ranked alongside (as reported in Hansard):

I come back to this: do we want to get rid of the objective and, indeed, the guarantee that within two weeks someone suffering from cancer can be seen by a clinician? Do we really want to go backwards on that? Surely that must be a national objective which all people can support.

Earlier the Leader of the Liberal Democrats had put these telling points:

Does the Prime Minister believe that the culture of frenzied target setting that has been introduced into the NHS by his Government had any role to play whatsoever in the horrific events that occurred at Stafford general hospital?

Nonsense reply

Mr. Clegg: When doctors at that hospital have confirmed that they were instructed by their managers to abandon seriously ill patients and to treat people with minor ailments instead in order to meet the Prime Minister’s targets, it is not enough to talk of reviews, inquiries and to blame other people. Will he scrap the mad targets that make hospitals tick boxes rather than look after the desperately ill?

A National Health Service absolutely requires some form of rationing. Targets rather than waiting lists result in the situation described by Mr Clegg in parliament yesterday. Voters have chosen to be lied to by their politicians on the matter of the NHS for decades - continuing on this route requires the greater British public to become or continue as deluded as their highly dangerous Prime Minister.

Britain is beyond rotten

The leading article in The Times today is headlined "Something Rotten" it may be read from here.

The topic is the pension and tax arrangements of the outgoing head of the 70 per cent now tax payer owned Scottish Bank RBS. It describes an outrage.

The Daily Telegraph meanwhile has a report of up to 1,200 unnecessary deaths at one single NHS hospital, read here. This should be no surprise, on 18th January 2008 The Guardian reported that 17,000 unnecessary deaths had been caused in the NHS, read it here.

I started the New Year on 3rd January this year with a post, linked here, on the NHS which began as follows:

A New Year needs a new start!

The NHS lies at the root of Britain's now nearly terminal problems. If individuals will not take responsibility for their own health and well being they will not take responsibility elsewhere.

The next day The Sunday Times carried a report of the NHS being in the organ sales business, read my post from here.

Look at any area of Society in England, neglect imposed by the incompetent Scottish thugs who largely govern, unemployment figures rose today to 2.029 million yet Lord Mandelson (three times the subject of scandals over questionable dealings yet ennobled and running huge swathes of government policy) denying on TV that job centres in England have closed when all know they have and that millions more English citizens now fear for their jobs not just their lives in run- down and shabby health services. Money being printed by the BoE will further reduce the real amounts available for expenditure whilst providing a fleeting charade of passing prosperity - no wonder University Chancellors have divined that they will soon need to at least double tuition fees.

The IMF today confirmed that Britain's recession will be the worst in the world in my view simply because it has the worst Government and zero opposition!

Yes there is no opposition under David Cameron while Government Ministers lie and demonstrate their ignorance in almost every area of their supposed responsibilities.

Sir Fred Goodwin is a shameful example of Britain, but scratch the surface and there is far worse within.
