The NHS is not just in trouble from PFI, excessive management, and poorly disciplined employees, it has inadequate competition (to keep it lean and efficient), poor staff pay, and most critically a growing funding crisis, due to increasing demands from an ageing, less healthy population, disproportionate demand from third-world and poor immigrants, and not enough tax income to pay for the rising costs.

State run enterprises may start out well, and may initially provide excellent service, from recruited experienced (private sector) staff, but gradually the too secure jobs, the lack of private experience, low pay, and growing demand, doom the enterprise to declining standards of service, underfunding and rationing. Unchecked public spending (e.g. for the Welfare State) tends to significantly increased the power of politicians, suppress healthy competition and significantly increase taxes, this was one reason why the old Conservatives opposed the Fabians’ Parliament Act in 1910, they only let it through in 1911 because they were blackmailed to do so.

The right way to provide financial protection for customers is an honest insurance scheme, with money invested in appreciating assets, not IOUs, and fairly vetted claims; the wrong and criminal way is called a Ponzi scheme, which is what we appear to have!

So much for the ‘NHS would collapse without immigrants’ line!

If we know, then those that get paid to know should also, otherwise what is the use of them?

I wanted to visit Lexington, in Virginia, to visit the tomb of Robert E Lee and to go to the grave of Stonewall Jackson. I decided to take a route along the skyway drive through the Blue Ridge Mountains.

We stopped for a break and were instantly engaged in conversation by a group of middle-aged Americans because we were English.

They asked my boys why we were in America they instantly responded, “Because we are interested in the Civil War”.

This immediately created a barrage of questions about this fact and that detail of the war. My boys could answer every question and more.

The result was an amazed, “My gosh! You know American kids know hardly any thing about any of this, why do your kids know so much about our war?”

My answer was that it was in a sense our war too. America at that time was still mainly an Anglo/Saxon/Celtic area. Yes other races were there, such as Germans but it was mainly as I have desribed. America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are all a result of US. and what happened in those places is part of our history as well.

I am very proud of who and what we were and are. I have always taught my children about the achievements of our race and the contribution we have made to the world.

I have never done this in a racist way. They know that the Zulus were great warriors but they empathise more with the small group of redcoats at Rorkes Drift.

It is has always been natural that different races tell their history, their stories and their myths to their children.

It is said that the Anglo Saxons camped on the banks of the Severn told the same stories and sang the same songs as their kith and kin on the banks of the Vistula. Altough geographically divided, they were essentially the same people.

This idea of a cultural continuation is now taboo for our children but the tales of alien cultures, often warped for a purpose, are seen as fine. In my opinion it is down to parents to follow in the tradition of old and tell their children OUR story. It is in the end the most relevent.

On the BBC’s East Midlands News bulletin this mornind they have carried a story about how, “certain sections of the community”, don’t like emergency treatment carried out in a certain way.

The Health Authority in Leicester, is, “reaching out to the community”, to “foster a better understang”.

Apparently, “certain sections of society”, object to paramedics removing items of clothing so as to give life saving treatment. When a person has a heart attack it is necessary to bare the chest to administer treatment. “Some sections of society find this intrusive”.

So what is the answer? Well you have well trained paramedics, who could be out saving lives, running courses for immigrant groups and showing them what they actually do when giving treatment. They also look for ways of giving treatment that isn’t “intrusive.” This is all done through “consultation”.

But wait, it get’s better. There is even a dedicated, (black man in a suit), liaison officer to work with the Somalis in particular, to “help foster understanding”.

This is just another example of how a well tried practice, which have served without problem, is now to be changed to accomodate the primitive, cultural hangups of “a section of society” that I believe shouldn’t even be in this country.

Whether they’ve got their clothes on or off, they are certainly getting better treatmnet than they would have got in Somalia. They are also getting far more “sensitive” treatment than the rest of us can expect.

There should be no lingering doubt in anyone’s mind that most of what makes this country tick is being run for, on behalf of and frequently by, non-ingigenous peoples.

These intruders and their white accomplices have certainly played a “blinder” in taking OUR country and its services over.

I’m personally studying law, and the thought of Sharia law being integrated into our legal system disgusts me. Want to be British?? Abide by our laws, our religion, our life style!

oooooh matron I’m going to have a lie down! pass he bed pan and sick bucket I’m going to need it!
