"We are now in a new world order, largely planned and enacted by the Chicago School of economics, and promoted by successive Governments. I would strongly recommend reading "The Shock Doctrine" by the Canadian author Naomi Klein, to look at how this process has been achieved throughout the world. You will see how it is being done in England."

"A third of family doctors say their patients are being put at risk in NHS hospitals because of ‘dangerously’ poor care, a survey has revealed.

If they think they will be losing constituency votes, they will do whatever it takes to save their precious little asses."
