Emergency Budget Delivered By Chancellor George Osborne With Britain Braced For Tax Rises And Cuts

22/6/2010 2:32 AM BST

We are going to sink again my God. Another Thatcher era! This is a budget dream that always the far right politicians in this country always wished for. Who benefits ? Large corporations, Banks and the well offs. Not a single word in creating jobs. Is it called progressive Budget ? I can forecast a sharp increase in violence and crime in the following years.

Make no mistakes, the wild capitalists are using the world economical crisis as a excuse to rule their old and selective doctrine.  People do forget that thanks to those unemployed/sick people receiving benefits there are still some jobs available for those who are skilled and fit. What a foolish assumption to think there are jobs for all. I will work twice as I do now as my employer may think that one of those without benefits can work for less and have a better performance than me...

I am not an economist but some things are so obvious like this: Those on benefits help the economy to grow as they buy food, clothes, pay for services etc. Consequently they generate revenues to factories as the production increases and ultimately save jobs. Would you prefer people without jobs and benefits wondering on our streets ? That's a fact. Can you image you living with £59 per week ? Most people on benefit do. This Budget is worse than Thatcher era because although that government raised unemployment to a record 3 million people, they did not cut benefits from those affected. We have a recipe for a disaster. Shame on you Liberal Democrats for contributing with this anti-progressive policy.

We need children; our society is ageing and shrinking. We cannot end up like in Germany where despite enormous benefits to encourage people to have babies, the population is decreasing and fated to extinguish in a near future. They need immigrants to pump their economy. We are lucky to have a reasonable rate of birth and we should protect that in order to guarantee our own existence. They will be our soldiers, our doctors etc. For those money oriented mind, to have a child may be a burden, for others it is a natural course of life, a gift from God.
 
Weak up Britain !

Moving Forward

More than 24 million people today are better aware of our chaotic financial system. It is time for you to learn how the system works. Predictable is the outcome, isn't it ? Mais de 24 milhões de pessoas hoje têm consciência do nosso sistema financeiro caótico. O atual modelo de capitalismo é asfixiante, autodestrutivo e principalmente injusto. O sistema só se mantém vivo enquanto houver recursos naturais do planeta para consumir até a exaustão. O documentário expõe com muita clareza o que nos aguarda.

The context of this social unrest in London

Decades of individualism, competition and state-encouraged selfishness – combined with a systematic crushing of unions and the ever-increasing criminalisation of dissent – have made Britain one of the most unequal countries in the developed world. Since the Tories came to power just over a year ago, we witnessed multiple student protests, occupations of many universities, several strikes, a half-a-million-strong trade union march and now unrest on the streets of the capital. Each of these events was sparked by a different cause, yet all take place against a backdrop of brutal cuts and enforced austerity measures. Tottenham has the fourth highest level of child poverty in London and an unemployment rate of 8.8%, double the national average, with one vacancy for every 54 seeking work in the borough. Finally, police are not omnipotent.  This situation has underlined very clearly that law and order is generally maintained by consent, not coercion.

Surgeons Warn That Delays In Treatment For Strokes Is Risking Patients Lives

22/7/2010 12:3 PM BST It is so obvious that a proactive approach is the most effective way to reduce deaths from strokes and heart attacks. However, it seems that the NHS management prefer expensive and many times too late remedies. The management alone cannot be blamed. A large number of GP's in this country are plain useless. Even when they do not have a clue what's going on, they do not refer you to someone who can investigate and possibly save your life. There is something very wrong with all this. I try to avoid analogies but even in Brazil, a large country with 200 million people, the public health service seems perform better than here. They invest in preventive measures and regular checkups. I have no illusions that this CONDEM government will change anything for better. One of these days when I go to my surgery to see a Doctor, I will be seen by a volunteer instead...That's what I call a bigger society!
