Bad news is coming in think and fast...

There is just too much bad news in the week-end papers, especially the Sundays - from the news that hospital waiting lists are set to rise hence lives being put at risk to selling off our forests, our ancient woodlands - an end to our beautiful landscape !  Whether we agree or not it's certainly what the Tories have in mind. And the lib dems seem to be supporting them yet again !  I always thought the lib dems were decent people...

After all the good work that Labour did in investing in our beloved NHS, the Tories are set to destroy it.  We shall once again, yes I'm harking back to the 80s, witness ill people lying in corridors for 24 hours, possibly in pain, before they see a doctor;  nurses running from one ward to another to find medication for a patient as their drug cupboard has run out but they aren't allowed to order any more until Monday;   patients being sent home as the surgeon finds that he can't allocate you to his list after all because the theatre has to close down as a theatre sister has taken redundancy (quite voluntary you understand...  in fact she was glad to 'get out' !) and the hospital has been told to freeze posts;  how long will it be before a new generation of diagnostic equipment comes along, only for it not to be afforded or one that has broken down has to be replaced but can't possibly ? http://url4t.com/i_J  And it will be no good turning to charities, hoping they'll be able to assist... http://url4t.com/oOI


Is this where the so-called 'Big Society' will be stepping in...  when we all 'chip-in' ?  Oh but hang on, many of us will be losing our jobs so not sure how we'll be able to do that...  some families are looking at a very unprosperous future...  middle-class families at that !  The poor will remain poor and actually become poorer.  Ah...  I get it !!  The rich will step-in and make a large donation towards that piece of much-needed equipment...  just like it was in the 19th and early 20th centuries.  They were called 'benefactors' and we all had to nod, tip our caps and be very grateful. Is that what life has in store for us ordinary folk in the 21st century ? Whether we agree or not it's certainly what the Conservatives have in mind. And the Lib Dems seem to be supporting them yet again !  


And then we come to the forests and ancient woodland - soon to be sold off to build more golf courses for the lucky few , centre parc type holiday camps where no-one will be able to afford to go...  Trees will be felled that have grown over centuries. And this isn't harking back to the 80s - it's harking back to the days of Magna Carta - the days of feudalism...  where only rich landowners had any say in what went on http://url4t.com/1Z0   Of course those with estates will still enjoy their ancient woodlands and forests...  they'll be able to roam at their will, rustle through the fallen leaves as they walk along, enjoy the sun as it dapples through the tree branches.   Oh yes it's all looking very jolly...  for the few.  But for the rest of us ?  The birds will lose their nesting grounds, the wildlife will lose their habitats...  Will such carnage affect our climate ?  The British landscape is going to resemble a prairie...  is that what we really want ?  Whether we want it or not, that's what the Tories have in mind.  And the Lib Dems seem to be supporting them, yet again


Those are just two areas of concern...  the papers are full of more...  even the Civil Servants are coming out telling us how it really is.  And it's scary...  quite appropriate as we approach Halloween !  http://url4t.com/Sjg


The newspapers appear happy to report this news..  but they were happy to report and promote the Tories..  they fell in love with Nick Clegg !  But it made news. It's big business - whether good or bad !  And recently it's all been bad.


The mantra that "it's Labour's fault" has stuck like glue !  People have bought it.  People believe it.  Is that why, despite a disapproval of the government rating, we're still below the Tories in the polls ? But what about the money that was used to bail out the Banks ?  However, I'm sure we don't need to worry - they'll feel that they can no longer pay huge bonuses and fat-cat salaries.  The loan will be paid back to the tax-payer in no time at all ! .


I can't see the private sector 'mopping up' as the Tories glibly spit out the rhetoric -  can you ?  The private sector is set to lose jobs too  http://url4t.com/NPF   
This certainly isn't what the Tories had in mind. And the lib dems seem to be supporting them yet again


I'm usually an optimistic sort of person.. but somehow.. I think things are looking dire.  The economy is not looking good.  And people are going to suffer as never before - all through no fault of their own !  It seems that we are being asked to pay for others' greed and mistakes..  Surely I've got that wrong !
CURSOR DOWN FOR THE LASTEST WORLD NEWS
