Book of the Week

This is a book that I have read and think worthwhile or someone has written up as worthwhile. There are a thousand or more being published in England every week so it is difficult to keep track of what is out there. There is not a lot of point in knowing especially if you know pretty much what you want.

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine was written by a Jew living in Israel [ see Books ] He does not seem to have gotten the heavy handed treatment dealt out to  Professor  Finkelstein for writing The Holocaust Industry or Professor Toaff for writing Blood Passover which was about murdering Christian children for their blood. We could also add President Carter plus Walt and Mearsheimer who told the truth as well.

NHS Plc - The Privatisation of Our Health Care
QUOTE
The National Health Service used to plan and fund to meet patient needs, providing free and fair access for all. But in this superb book, Allyson Pollock shows how Labour is destroying this great working class achievement.

Labour pushes the IMF, World Bank, European Union agenda of opening up all public services - water, energy, sewerage, telecoms, post and health - to private firms. So health care is becoming a commodity as in the USA, where billing and marketing make up 30% of health care costs. In the USA, fraud by health care companies totalled $418 billion in 1990-95. For example, Columbia/HCA (allegedly helped by the British consultancy firm KPMG) defrauded the government of $1.7 billion.

In 2004, Labour lifted the ceiling on health administration costs, which had already doubled, cutting clinical care budgets so that there are fewer beds in PFI hospitals. Labour excludes doctors, nurses and health professionals from hospital management, while welcoming failed businessmen.

Surgery performed in private hospitals costs 40% more than in NHS hospitals, because of higher costs and the overriding need to return a profit to the shareholders. Private borrowing is dearer too and the risks are not transferred to the private sector. Labour has arranged public spending data and NHS accounts to hide the huge amounts of public money going straight through the NHS to private companies............

The Labour Party is the party of the people, isn't it? Not these days it isn't. It is run by light fingered rogues on the make, communist subversives who are controlled by Jews and other undesirables.
