Occupy London

just taking the NHS - hand on heart, whomovedmychoc, SWC, Alouiseeg etc, can you honestly say you're not just a teensy bit worried about what is being proposed? Or indeed, shocked, angry and terrified, as I am?

Remind me who voted for these huge structural changes to the NHS again? What mandate the Coalition have for this? Where the Tories or Lib Dems announced this in their manifestos?

I don't know anyone - regular Tory-voters included - who are happy with these changes. Are we all supposed to just smile sweetly and ignore it whilst our democracy is subverted and our future healthcare, and that of our loved ones, is put at risk?

Or do you three all have private healthcare or shares in private healthcare companies and don't give a fuck?

Great posts here from weeonion, ttosca (as always), glasnost etc.

i am still in bed with chest infection and 3 small kids to look after and work to do so not going anywhere, but will do the contact-a-random-lord-by-email thingy re the NHS, as am Very Angry about that.

Can't believe the number of useful idiots posting on this thread. At what point will they stop believing everything the govt feeds them via the media? Can they not look at the evidence of their own lives/those of their friends, and figure out something is not quite right?

'your local community needs you. Go along to council meetings, find out what it's about. If you have any better ideas, share them.

did that

offered to run a sibling support group for ASD families

great said council, that'll cost you about (a week's arer's allowance) to hire the room

so I could not do it

Presumably the gist is that in order to maximise the chances of other people's kids and careers (as per WMMC) I have to sacrifice my own SN boys by agreeing that state services should be cut to them thereby knocking their life chances immensely?

Yes, because that is clearly going to make sense to me isn't it.

I won't be protesting because I can't afford to get there. And because the fight to get decent schooling for my boys left me agoraphobic. No other reason though.

You're comparing London with Libya? Seriously?

glasnost I haven't looked for Twitter etc so don't know how it's going. But other opportunities are anticipated.
Alouiseg it's a good job you were in Tahrir Square to explain the CFD's otherwise they would never have- no, wait...

i do like a good revolution

We welcome enthusiastic participants in all debate on political economy. I feel under no obligation to assist the smooth running of global capitalism. Those who do have my heartfelt concern for their emotional stability which I fear will come under increasing pressure.

They don't know their CFD's from their CDS' so quite how they are going to bring anything to a standstill is beyond me.

What will be achieved.......nowt

glasnost is not boring, her links are not 'insane ravings'. Come back after a few more months of the economy flat-lining under Boy George's careful stewardship and let us know who was right. Hope you're planning on investing in the vampires private health companies queueing up to make the NHS more profitable efficient; that should provide you with a nice retirement income now the Condems have their sights on pensioners.

Gosh you are very boring glasnost.

I'm not bitter or belligerent. I lost the sense in the insane ravings on your links is all.

Good luck to the Bridge Blockers. I'm too far from The Smoke to go, but I'm with them in spirit.

Hi everyone. What is happening is not new, it has been on the march for some decades and unless people have been living the delusion in full , this year, we have all noticed the revolutions around the world and probably been perplexed as to what is occurring as our media belongs to the perpetrators this has been largely hidden. Thank goodness for the network, the internet.

An awful lot of in your face evidence which has been... let us say, been avoided by the our nations press-xxxxxxs. For those still trying to make heads or tales of it all, our local blog

stgeorgewest.blogspot.com/

has focused this year on the emerging information and issues and I recommend that you have a look at our posts (News articles and information from around the world) this year that have developed by asking the simple questions into a very clear picture of the issues and the total fraud which is our banking system and the very printed bank notes we carry every day. Also many people uniting behind practical common sence solutions. We think our blog may help demystify the issues for any newbies. We will be there on the 15th and peacefully campaign for change for as long as it takes.

Noticing the previous remarks about children and protest, I might be with my little 3 year old at the demo, after all we are going for a peaceful demonstration for positive change. We will be tacking flowers for the police who after all are having their pensions looted as the protect the very people doing the looting. Let us pity them and show them some sympathy.

Best wishes all.

Quite Alice.

Alouiseg I know it would make it much easier if we had no civil rights to protest about being made to pay for the bankers' crisis, but some of us crips are bitter. Bitter and organised.
