Doctors starting to get it?
The Times gives us a report about disillusioned doctors. It certainly shows us the cracks appearing in our socialist health system, and perhaps at last, people such as doctors are starting to realise that taxation and socialism can't solve problems.
The opinions expressed read as a damning summation of the effectiveness of ZaNuLabour's health "policy":
More than half of respondents (56 per cent) said that there had been no improvement in the NHS since 2002.... Only 27 per cent thought there had been.
"...(72 per cent) did not believe that the extra money had been well spent, while 11 per cent said that it had. Similar views were held on the quality of care: 72 per cent said that there had been no improvement; 15 per cent said that there had been."
"...79 per cent of respondents doubted that the highest standards expected of the NHS could be sustained through taxation alone after 2008, when the huge annual increases in funding will drop off."
This last quote read as some sort of sick (pardon the pun) joke: "highest standards ... could be sustained" like we have the highest standards now?
There is also concern about: "... what will happen after 2008, when the rate of increased funding is due to end." Well of course in theory it shouldn't matter as the increase in funding hasn't prompted any improvement, but in reality, all those extra turkeys employed by the NHS with the funding increase will still need feeding, it won't be the turkeys that go after 2008, but patient care, hospital wards and beds.
Apparently doctors still support the NHS in principle, but what will it take for them to wake up and think a little? What private health care provider would have such a turkey army? What costs more? Profits to shareholders? Or people employed to remain off the unemployment figures?
Remember doctors, the turkey army is only possible: "Thanks to the unique way the NHS is funded." It's time to admit failure and move away from this outdated and ineffective socialist funding model. Let's be rid of this burden once and for all.

They never learn
Sorry for the lack of posting, but I've had more computer problems. It's been a shame because you can never catch up.
Anyway, from The Times we have the latest "goody" for the motorist. The plan is that you will have to have insurance all the time, so it can never lapse. If you don't have insurance for your vehicle and fail to declare it "off-road" you'll get an automatic fine and the police will be able to come into your driveway and seize your vehicle.
Now I've said before, I have no sympathy with people who drive without insurance, but what's wrong with storing a car off road for two weeks and not renewing your insurance during that time? If your not using your car - you might be abroad, or anything, why shouldn't you save the two weeks of insurance money?
How will this be enforced? Good question well ... "“This will also only catch those people who are already known to the DVLA. The problem with the motoring underclass is that those who pose the greatest risk to others do not appear on databases.”"
Yes it's our old friend and star of many adverts the: DVLA computer. All this will do is encourage more and more people not to bother telling the DVLA anything. Of course it will make it easy to fine the law-abiding citizen, who not using his/her vehicle merely wishes to save some money. Of course that's what it's probably all about, you're not allowed any money, you must spend it all, if not on taxes or insurance then on fines, bourgeoisieism will be defeated, all will be equally wallowing in nothing.

I warn you ... do not grow old ...
The Daily Mail informs us of our "envy of the world" care for the elderly program.
You should read it yourselves, but some "highlights" include: "... some are given just a single scoop of mash as a meal"
"Other bedridden pensioners are 'tortured' with trays of food placed just out of their reach."
Whilst I have a great deal of sympathy for the suffering of those concerned, I regard this as an inevitable consequence of state run care and socialism. Take the system of National Insurance, people pay in, not for money for themselves, but to provide care for others; the idea being that when their turn comes, they get care from the payments of other people are making. This is so wrong in many ways (aside from being ultimately unsustainable), people should be responsible for providing for themselves and the state should be out of it. Everyone who stops to think about National Insurance would soon come to realise the problems, but people have accepted this system without question and without thought. The easy wide road, let the state worry about it, spare me from responsibility. Now the system they supported and accepted is starving them; well you should have known better.
You shouldn't have been fooled by the empty promises of socialism, you should have examined the system harder, kept it in check, ensured there was enough to pay you out.
All debts, have to be paid, and virtue is it's own reward. You have no entitlement to a reward merely for having lived to a point requiring care, if you haven't made provision (no National Insurance despite its name doesn't count) then that is what you should expect - starvation.
Of course there's no choice we all have to pay into this corrupt and stupid pot, but that doesn't mean we have to be fooled by it, or that we shouldn't demand its abolition.
Well my readers this is how the state treats you, you pay in money, and when you want to collect, well, you can starve to death for the privilege. Look how much freer people in the third world are, there you can starve without having to pay.

Socialism begins to bite
The Times reports on the latest and seemingly unexpected interest rate rise. I suggest you expect more of the same. Bandit Brown has been robbing the country blind to pay for his turkey army and other socialist excess, but there's always a day of reckoning, it cannot be avoided and even though he has in the past managed successful postponement, each postponement brings it's own price.
The "reporter" from the BBC last night was telling us what a strong economy we have with consumer spending and high house prices. What a joke! House prices are high because of restricted supply caused by restrictive socialist planning laws, and profligate consumer spending isn't a sign of a strong economy, it's a sign of hopelessness. During the Second World War, did people worry about saving money or did they tend to spend it? I suggest they spent it. I'd be far more impressed with consumer saving and low debt, still the job of the beeboid is to spin the spin and he did it almost admirably.
People are beginning to have enough as this story in The Times shows us - passengers fed up with a horrible "service" and withdrawing from the rail network. I wish them the best of luck, that aside it shows in general, some basic truths. When people have had enough, they get rebellious and stubborn and people are headed that way now, this has to be coupled with the knowledge that the government is running out of financial options.
My view is that we're headed for a collapse of our socialist market and it won't be easy.
There'll be tears before bedtime.
