Read this BBC report and you would be given the distinct impression that the utter shambles of the NHS PFI schemes are in fact a Tory led Coalition (To use the preferred BBC moniker) disaster….and you would also not realise that Hinchingbrooke Hospital would have closed had it not been privatised. You would have no idea that Peterborough Hospital was a Labour Government plan, read the article and it deliberately … Continue reading
Hi folks. I’m currently in the Hague on business and thus beyond the remit of the BBC. But this is for you poor souls who listen to it today!
Dame Helen Mirren, once of the Socialist Worker‘s Party tells us: “I was never a left-winger, actually,” she told Time Out. “I was a pretend left-winger because it was more interesting than being a right-winger.

The only real background context to the conflict you get is this: Syria and Israel have been technically in a state of war since the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The main grievance is over Israel’s occupation of … Continue reading
2 NEWS REPORTS. Guess what is missing from this first one from BBC … Here you go….
Dodging questions of course not taxes. Just adding a little to David’s earlier piece on Margaret Hodge…the more you look the less savoury the view…..one QC saying that Hodge’s and her fellow MP’s comments on the tax affairs of the likes of Amazon, Google and Starbucks is an ‘unprincipled attack on the rule of law’. Hodge is very protective of her reputation….no problem there for her…the BBC at least … Continue reading
