Social Home Swap Scheme Unveiled A Day After David Cameron Said He Wants To End Homes 'For Life'

 4/8/2010 6:26 AM BST

Home Swap Scheme
Take it Britain ! Acute Thatcherism policies are back ! People do forget the past history. As always, the most vulnerable in our society pays for draconian, selective and unfair Tories policies. Mr Cameron should create a new department called " DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL INSECURITY". That's what the Liberals call a "Progressive Policy " ? Mr Clegg, you betrayed all those who voted on your party.

When we say "for life" it does not mean you own it. It means that as long as you are in low income and pay your due rent you are entitled to remain in your accommodation in peace. People stay on waiting lists for years in hope to secure a decent and affordable home for their families. The majority of low income families in this country cannot afford the speculative rent charged by private landlords. Why not make the minimum wage compatible with the basic living standards, so the working class could afford a private home ? Why not build more council accommodations ? Why not create jobs with decent wages ? Yes, as long as you have the means to live better than others it does not mean that the less privileged people have to live in ghettos.

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.

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...
