NHS again

So where do we stand with this new NHS, I was told that doctors new best! they know their patients?, is all this right?, I feel not, the governments paper on health did away with Strategic Health Authorities and local Primary Care Trusts, has this happened? not likely, the PCT is now the Clinical Commissioning Group, and the SHA has now found another name to go by, so in fact we are paying a lot more for the commissioning services but the hospitals are squeezed dry, I can give some idea as to what patients want as I am one and have had to use the NHS many times over the years, what I want and need is nothing more than to be sent to my local hospital to be looked after, I do not want to go to private companies who profess to know what they are doing when in fact they are just making money and laughing all the way to the bank, we as the general public want a local hospital to look after us, they do not want to go all over England to receive treatment, many of us are old and do not travel well so we need to support our local hospital and we need to do everything in our power to keep this needed service.

Floods

No matter where in the world that you happen to live a flood is so dangerous, it is so easy to become lost in the torrent of water, just where dose such a deluge come from and why?, do we actually know?, it just shows that forecasts just might not relate to actual weather conditions that are expected, I am certain of one thing, without a doubt the insurance companies will be looking for every excuse possible not to pay out!!.

Canada / India Floods

We have had this nasty rain in the UK many people being killed and homes destroyed, many still waiting to return to their homes some 18 months later, but that does not help the people of Canada / India, it is not funny being told that you can't go to your home till the authorities say it is OK,  just what do you do?, here we open church halls or sports halls, anywhere that keeps people safe, they need help for the trauma that they are going through, in India I saw on the news houses falling into the torrent to be destroyed, they do not have the facilities that the West has, nor do they have a supply of food that is easily available, all I can say is that I pray for you all I hope you recover from this flood and I hope that you all have the help that you are going to need, may your God look over you and keep you safe. 

NHS

Well we off again!, mistakes made again, it is bad enough when they do not actually hurt people but to see that babies have died needlessly, there is no Way of justifying these deaths, the people who are responsible need to be disciplined without doubt, they had no right to be in charge of dogs let alone people, the parents should sue the responsible people and the commissions they represented, it makes me sick that they new there was a problem but instead of rectifying the problem they destroyed the papers instead, that to me is despicable, they should never be allowed to lead or belong to it in any way to do with health care, they should with out doubt be sent to prison!!!. 

Syria

Once again my thoughts turn to the conflict in Syria, the new elected president of Iran has stated that he intends to send 4,000 troops to support Assad's regime, then we have the USA saying it is going to arm selected rebels, just how you might select them is beyond me, then we have Putin's Russia, I  understand that he is the power behind Syria, supporting Assad, it is pretty obvious that the present government is dead in the water so why support it?, the USA has to be very careful just how it goes about this selection of groups it will support, just look at Vietnam, I always felt that the West should intervene but that was when it was a fight for democracy, that has now changed, we have been to involved in the Middle East, we should not be there it is not our responsibility nor really anything to do with us, all we seem to achieve is the death of our young soldiers, too many for me, the only problem for me is the children of these violent places, idiotic laws that put women down and treat them like dogs, just what is religion all about?, love and respect for your neighbours? in the Middle East not a hope in hell, the same with Turkey, what an idiot president we have here, in a country that is well known for its abuse of its people, I watched the mad police attacking civilian's with tear gas, baton rounds and water canons, the president in a speech to people in Ankara being told by this cretin that this is how the world behaves that this as it is in Europe the USA, I think not, it is not surprising that Turkey can't get into the European Union, we cant lower ourselves to allow this country in till their human rights of the people are sorted out.

Queens Birthday

As an ex soldier I really like to watch the trooping of the colour, it is a magnificent show of colour, pomp and pageantry, we should be proud that this country has such a colour full history, 1000's watching, kids loving it, and so we should, where would we be if we were a republic?, what if we did go to be a republic, I believe we would go grey, colour would leave the country, so be proud of our heritage support our troops and of course the Queen. 

Syria

I could scream this morning as a UNICEF children's champion to see that the estimated death rate of children in Syria is 6,500 how can anyone explain this to the World, I keep saying this war is not acceptable, too many religious zealots fighting for both sides, Hezbollah are in the mix as are many people from the UK, why are they there?, not for the benefit of the general population, this all started because people wanted democracy! not a chance now religion has taken over!, no freedom just a rule not any different to what is there now, oppression of women and young girls religious law will be implemented, so all these civilians are dying for nothing, then the sickest thing is that chemical weapons have been used, just how can anyone justify that?????????.
