Choosing prison over homelessness

samedi 6 août 2016 à 02:00

Linda Thompson was paroled out of prison against her will, which in practice meant living on the street. So she robbed a bank and threw the money in the air, just to get back in prison.

I wonder why she committed the previous robbery. Was she destitute then too?

What kind of government makes life so bad for people that they are better off in prison? In a prison that is likely to be a slave labor camp too?

Shame on the stingy rich people that control goverment in the US. And shame on the politicians that cater them, including nearly all Republicans and most Democrats.

UK ambulance service failing

I'm an NHS Ambulance Dispatcher And I Know My Service Is Failing You.

This is the predictable result of the Tory "bleed it dry, slowly" approach to funding the NHS.

UK NHS to ration Hep C drugs

samedi 6 août 2016 à 02:00

The UK's NHS has been starved to the point where, out of 200,000 people with chronic hepatitis C, it will pay to cure only 10,000 a year.

Of course, the World Trade Organization and its patent requirements are responsible for making the drug too expensive.

Police-manufactured crime

samedi 6 août 2016 à 02:00

Two Canadians led by the thugs to plant objects they thought were bombs have been freed by a judge because it was a "police-manufactured crime".

The FBI manufactures lots of crimes, too, but it cleverly loses the evidence to show that it did so.

Chamber of Commerce lobbyists for Hillary

samedi 6 août 2016 à 02:00

The head of Republican Women for Hillary, who spoke at the Democratic Convention, was not just any woman. She is a lobbyist for the US Chamber of Commerce, which fights against more or less everything that would restrain plutocracy.

Her personal job is campaigning against the universal single-payer medical system that Sanders advocated and that Clinton now opposes (though she was in favor of it before).

I see nothing wrong in boasting of support from Republicans who can't stomach Trump, but support from people in the US C of C is a sign that a politician is on the wrong side.
