PM Urged To Spell Out New Nuke Deterrent Fund

Trident System cost: £ 34 billion

6:44am UK, Friday August 27, 2010

Something must be wrong here. So we are told to cut jobs, pensions, welfare, housing, schools renovations, etc However we are prepared to spend £ 34 billion on nuclear weapons ? It must be a joke ! Do we need missiles which has the destructive capability to return the modern world to the Middle Ages ? No, it is disproportioned, there is no big enemy like the former Soviet Union anymore. Perhaps it is time to discuss within the EU a joint nuclear defence system that would have the costs shared among all members countries. Also we need to stop relying on US supplies of technology and defence services. The Trident warheads are made in US, and all missiles are also serviced there. The current generation of four submarines would begin to end their working lives some time in the 2020s. Why rush on this when there is time to find an cheaper and effective alternative within our borders ? As usual, Tories wrong priorities.

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.

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!

How to classify an Europhobe

Many biased spurious arguments. Half truth and exaggeration. Xenophobia and fear. These are the main ingredients to make a real Europhobe. They are everywhere and at all costs try to get you on board. They do not enjoy the two main achievements from being part of the European Union. For the first time in history we enjoy more than 50 years of peace in Europe. We don't fight each other for market dominance, land or race. We live harmoniously. Secondly, the freedom of movement. We are free to go anywhere, live anywhere, work anywhere, trade anywhere. The Union makes the strength. I can classify the Europhes in 4 groups: They are: Group A (The Mentally raped) Those who are lead by the partial media which publishes inaccurate or exaggerated stories (Euromyths), most of which give the impression of absurd bureaucracy and over-regulation. Coupled with poor education, poor access to accurate and unbiased information, I call this group the "The mentally raped". They...
