Red Rag - It's like we are in a time warp

Red Rag - Today we saw figures showing unemployment rising to 2.67 million. The highest they have been since.....well, err, the last time the Tories were in power. Another 22,000 of the countries youth are now unemployed taking it to 1.04 million which is the biggest total in history. And the total of JSA claimants rose for the eleventh month in a row with the number of women claiming the benefit rising to 531,700 which is the highest total since 1995 when, err, the Tories were last in power. Those lucky to be in work saw the average earnings rise 2%, compared to inflation of 3.6% means even if you are lucky to be in work you are becoming poorer. 

Lord Freud of the Party of the P45 described the figures of showing "encouraging signs of stability". A few days ago arch Thatcherite and ConHome editor told us "if Osborne continues as he is going we have only seen 20% of the cuts, between now and the end of the parliament he will need to push through the other 80%".

The question is will Cameron,Clegg and Osborne break Maggies 3+ million?

For anyone over the age of say 30......are you getting a sense of de ja vu?

Red Rag - Meet Lansleys friends who are circling the NHS like vultures

Red Rag - One of the organisations in the Private Hospital Alliance that Andrew Lansley is personally promoting to help the NHS is The General Healthcare Group. This is the UK association of the world wide company Netcare. Netcare are proud to specialise in organ transplants. The only problem is that the organs have been taken from people in poor countries such as Brazil and Romania and sold on to richer countries. Just to make it even more vile they falsified documents to make out that the donors were related to the recipients once they were sold on the black market to the highest bidder. Netgear were fined £704,00 for the illegal operations.

The chairman of GHG is Peter Gershon who was personally hired by David Cameron before the 2010 election to identify savings. GHG has identified the Bill as "giving our organisation a massive opportunity"......no conflict of interests there then, eh Dave.

Another member of the Private Hospital Alliance is HCA international who have been prosecuted in the US for defrauding their health system, the biggest fraud case in America of it's kind with 500 federal agents raiding it's offices in seven different states. In total they had to pay back the US government £2 billion in criminal fines and civil penalties for systematically fraudulent federal health care programmes. In 2010 they gave £8,500 to the Conservative Party.

Another private company who Andrew Lansley has been personally been promoting to take advantage of the Bill is Circle Health UK which is 50.1% owned by large equity companies.Circle Health UK was the first private company chosen by the coalition to run an hospital. One of private equity companies that owns them is Lansdowne UK which owns 28.9% of it and is run by Paul Ruddock, another Odey Asset Management, own 16.6% of it and is run by Crispen Odey. Paul Ruddock has donated £500,000 to the Conservative Party and was personally placed on this years New Years honours list by Mr Cameron.Crispen Odey has given £290,000 to the Conservative Party.

Circle Health Care made a loss last year of over £27,400,000.

Now then, doesn't that make you feel tonnes better about Lansley and his Bill?
