Middle East

I am getting sick of watching the TV News, never ending death and destruction, now we have Israel giving it to Hezbollah not surprising really as they keep lobbing rockets in to Israel what else can they expect, you just know how Israel will respond, so where are we at?, Iran with the bomb!!, if not now very soon, Syria I am sure making the most of what is going on further afield, there is one thing for sure people are dying, you as a person might have religious convictions and death is acceptable to you but that is very good of you that is your personal acceptance of the consequences of your actions but why oh why do you expect everyone to be involved in your war, we are not interested we want to live another day, you can go and meet your maker but please do not take me and others with you !!!!!.

NHS

So up to yet after thousands of NHS staff have lost their jobs, the Government still say that there is no drop in patient care, now pardon me!, if you reduce staff service has to drop, it is common sense but of course the people in power lack that ability to recognise the rising problems, so where are we going well it has to be said up the creek without a paddle, you can cut so much but then service starts to fall its just how it is, soon we will have clinical commissioning groups GP led, what if they feel that the service offered by the hospital are not how they want, they have to put the service out to tender, if the hospital should loose several major  contracts just what do you think will happen, the hospital without a doubt will be bankrupt, just how is this protecting the NHS I have no idea, I am just bothered that this is the end as we know it!!, just to add I do not and never have worked for the NHS.

NHS / Incapacity Benefit

So many problems, the NHS in turmoil, whatever you might think it is in one hell of a mess, I look at Hinchingbrook Hospital now in the hands of the private interlopers, they have a loss of £4.5 million, but they say that they will not only reverse this loss by the end of their contract they will have wiped out the whole debt that they took on when they won the contract, so how do you save, well in my mind the only way is the reduction of staff which equates to reduction of the services to patients, I have to say that the government have got this wrong, the NHS does not need to be GP led, most of them have enough work on their plate without these stupid changes to the NHS.

Then we come to ATOS, what a great company!!, two thirds of people they have assessed have been declared fit for work, I do have experience of the system they run I accompanied my daughter to her assessment, you do not have a chance from the minute you walk in till you leave, I noticed in the press that they required a man to provide proof of his disability, he has lost two legs and several fingers on one hand, can you justify such stupidity?, do disabled people need this abuse of their lives.

fireworks

Here we are again November, yesterday from 7pm till 12 midnight fireworks going off all over, and some were really nasty sounding ones, very, very loud bangs sent our dog potty, now I do not mind that some people will let them off on November the 5th but some silly young teenagers seem to think it funny to set them off whenever, this begs the question where do they get the money from to buy them, and what shopkeeper in their right mind does it, locals are well aware who the sellers are which shops  will sell  them to anybody who has the cash whatever the age.

Then you have to ask these are in fact explosives, why are we selling them to members of the public who have not the slightest training in handling such items, I am gob smacked that health and safety have not stopped this crazy senseless sale of dangerous items, I fell that it is far better to provide a one off display on the 5th November, stopping all other sales, I wold finally point out to you all just remember how many children and adults have received serious injuries from fireworks, so it is now time to stop this madness and regulate the sale of fireworks only to professional displays before some one is killed, common sense says this must happen before it is too late.

NHS

I have in the past blogged the problems facing hospitals when the new health bill is implemented next year, these new CCG's will be commissioning services, they might well got to companies outside the NHS restricting the income of the hospital, it does not take a financial adviser to tell you that they will go bankrupt, then what?, no one seems to know, bit of a mine field is it not?
 

The NHS

Still we do not have the minister for healths reassurance that the CCG's will work with the need to accept that much of the commissioning will have to go to acute hospitals of the NHS, not to private concerns who will by taking some of the cherry on the tree good commissioning leaving the local hospital sinking because its income has been depleted so much that it can't survive, as it is now starting to work, fright has come about, just what will happen to the health service, I believe that it is right to say it will go down the tubes and become extinct very shortly, unless the government wakes up to what the ground level are saying and stop being its usual self as believing that they know best, I remember that it was said doctor new best, did he I think not, and for certain MPs with out a doubt don't either.
 

Syria/Yemen

Here we are some weeks later and still the killing is going on, Turkey has gone very quiet at the moment, does that mean nothing is happening or is it that a lot is going on but they do not want to tell us, you can see the carnage in Syria on TV but I must admit that headline news has not been about Syria, but you can be sure that the killing of children still goes on, supported by Russia ans of course China, two countries that are very low on the human rights scale, lack of the right to free speech some thing that in these two countries that has to be suppressed whatever the cost, death is easy in these countries as it can be done by the state without anyone ever knowing!, so why should they be involved in the problems of the Middle East, well to me it is obvious, they do not want to see a free people who have the right to a democracy (something to be violently oppresses in Russia and China), they believe in dictatorship, the right to the state to rule your life to deal with you as it wishes, just where do these people come from?, they are in fact mad people who would be far better off in an asylum than running a country, I have said before and I will no doubt say many more times you do not kill your children they are your future, Syria, Russia and China would do well to recognise this fact, but will they?, why of course not, they could not care less they have the money and power so why let anyone else survive to take it from them, it is sick.
I see that the Yemen is fighting insurgents in their country, so here we go again, another group on the roundabout.
