Re: Habana: Culture and Style in Adversity
Yes I know there is pressure to hive off bits that can make money for corporations and cronies.
NHS is not the only area under attack.

^No. The NHS is a sensible notion - though bureaucracy was allowed to get in the way and had a bad impact.
That said, lots in the media have a vested interest in badmouthing it. If it was so bad why would the 'health tourism' phenomenon exist, where Johnny Foreigner flies in specifically to sponge off the UK?
Harold Shipman was working as a doctor but you cannot blame the NHS concept for his killing spree.

Gove now wants to use schools to line the pockets of his cronies. There is no end to it.

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

^ Do you honestly think that New Labour was Thatcherite? Look at the huge government debts that Gordon Brown ran up! George Osborne's fiscal policies are very similar to Brown's - another neo-Keynesian!

Re: Habana: Culture and Style in Adversity
Bob Crow makes a good point.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/majority-uk-train-operators-owned-1989457
"What they are actually saying is that any state can run our railways as long as it isn't the British state.
"The hard truth is that the British public are paying the highest fares in Europe to travel on crowded and ageing trains in order to subsidise railways in Germany and other parts of the Continent.
New Labour were huge enthusiasts for PFI too

^ British companies are running passenger train services in other European countries, e.g. Arriva in Sweden.

Re: Habana: Culture and Style in Adversity
Upstate, what you so disturblingly describe as a bubbling cauldron of simmering strife, future riots, ethnic cleansing and civil war, the powers that be: politicians, police and media describe as a peaceful and tranquil oasis of community calm, respect and don't forget the "vibrant and diverse" that they have to throw in for good measure. From this perspective the social disintegration, tensions, clear threat to gays, women, jews and the rest look quite wonderful indeed. Just look at Sweden.

We are world leaders in 'libel tourism' though. Dissed in print anywhere in the world and our lawyers will be pleased to sort it out for a handsome fee.
