| Manchester Pensioner Says Defend the NHS! |
 |
Manchester, England. 3rd May 2005. Joan
Hibberd, chair of Trafford Pensioners, speaks
about life before the state run National
Health Service (NHS) came into being in 1948.
She is speaking at a meeting of the anti-war
party Respect in Stretford Civic Hall during
the 2005 General election campaign.
The NHS is funded out of general taxation and
no one is refused treatment because they are
poor--except for failed asylum seekers who
are refused secondary health care and
currently the racist Brown government is now
extending this outrageous policy to primary
health also--family doctors.
Watch Michael Moore's film "SicKo" which
contrast the UK National Health Service with
the US system.
Alongside the state run NHS there is a
growing private health sector for the
wealthy. Over the past few decades, Thatcher,
Blair and Brown have been attempting to run
down the NHS by starving it of resources in
order to discredit the idea of state-funded
public services. And they have simultaneously
opened the NHS up to the bloodsucking
buzzards from the private health care
corporations. Much of the money that goes
into the NHS ends up in the bulging pockets
of the bankers though scams like the Private
Finance Initiative (PFI). Much of it is also
syphoned off via high charges for medicines
imposed by the drug corporations.
The Conservatives and New Labour both want to
turn the clock back to the pre-1948
system--the system that still exists today in
the US. The NHS staff are fighting this all
the way.
Health care not warfare!

| Disabled pensioner beaten with brick by "Asian" gang |
 |
A DISABLED pensioner was battered unconscious
with a brick after he went to confront a gang
of stone-throwing teenagers.
Ray Mills, aged 73, took on the 10-strong
crowd outside his Birmingham home and was
knocked to the floor by one of them.
The retired welder, who walks on crutches, is
waiting for tests on his eye to see whether
his sight has been damaged and has undergone
brain scans in hospital.
As he recovered at his Stechford Road home
today, he condemned the thugs and said: "I'm
in terrible pain."
He hoped that the shocking pictures of his
injuries would strike the conscience of the
hooligans -- understood to include both boys
and girls -- and result in them contacting
police.

| BBC news -sick thug attacks & blinds pensioner but goes free |
 |
A man who left a 96-year-old war veteran
blind in one eye after attacking him on a
packed tram has been given a three-year
supervision order.
Stephen Gordon, 44, launched his unprovoked
attack on Shah Chaudury in Croydon, south
London, in December. Gordon, from Croydon,
was found guilty of grievous bodily harm
after the attack was caught on CCTV, Croydon
Crown Court heard.
"The blow to the victim's head caused serious
injury, which has resulted in the victim
losing sight in one eye," said Det Sgt Darren
Stenning. "And unfortunately since this
assault, the victim's health has deteriorated
and he now resides in a care home."
The attack took place on a tram travelling
between Sandilands and East Croydon on
December 14 last year. Gordon had tried to
push past the victim, who was standing in the
aisle leaning on his walking sticks. As he
squeezed under the pensioner's arms his hat
was knocked off and he
swore at the man and punched him in the face.
Police said two school children who were on
the tram chased Gordon. They later gave
evidence against him.
And yes justice has gone out the window!
Hopefully somebody will give this smelly
scumbag a good hiding when hes a pensioner
too, or anytime hehe. Form an orderly queue!!
