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.

David Cameron Arrives In Afghanistan For First Visit As Prime Minister

Friday June 11, 2010 Well, it seems that money for war is not an issue for a government that says it needs to tackle the deficit. Let’s cut public services, sack people, put more people in poverty due to welfare cuts, etc. Let’s spend these savings on war. It is really pathetic this new government. What else we could expect form a right wing party ?

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!

The gathering storm: Britain's faltering economy

12/08/2010 We have the face the reality. There is little hope. Exaggerated optimism is inadequate. We know quite well that after the so called "emergency budget" any chance of a sustained recovery was flushed away. You do not need to be a economist to realise that without jobs, investments and production, you cannot be optimistic. Cuts and cuts alone results in recession. I am afraid to say but the worst is still to come when 600000 jobs culling starts in the public sector. While the crisis deepens, the government begins to inflict a cynical revulsion on those receiving benefits. It is exactly when the most vulnerable families need it most is when this irresponsible government decides to implode it. No, for those in low income, those without jobs, the forecast cannot be better. The wealthy cannot feel if the inflation is 2% or 3% higher, however the less privileged ones will find it very hard to cope. Let's be frank, with or without debt issues, this govern...
