Thought for the day.

Benjamin Franklin once said "those who trade liberty for security will get and deserve neither"

When are people going to wake up ? the scandal of UK diabetes treatment is massive, but just the tip of the iceberg. This corrupt and rotten to the core Government are dismantling the NHS on a daily basis. The NHS was never perfect, no healthcare system is, but it is the best our country is ever going to get. Check this out.

In total 66 MPs have financial links to companies involved in private healthcare. Of them, 53 are Conservative MPs, 9 are Labour MPs, and 3 are Liberal Democrats, leaving 1 other from another party. This means, 79% of MPs with these links are Conservative.

These parliamentarians coupled with the 142 Lords with the same interests, make a total of parliamentarians 206 with financial links to companies involved in healthcare.

The interests range in influence from donations made by individuals, shares in a company, or advisor to a company, owner, overseas visits and hospitality, and directorships.

These parliamentarians coupled with the 142 Lords with the same interests, make a total of 206 parliamentarians with financial links to companies involved in healthcare.

Recent released research by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has revealed 124 members of the House of Lords ‘benefit’ from the financial industry.

Several of these Peers are linked to the Healthcare companies and many of these companies will be funding the private healthcare companies that are threatening the very existence of the NHS.

The House of Lords is an open house for companies to attach themselves to key public servants, lobbying and influencing policy that affects our lives.
