Open wide – but don’t mention England

little-shop-of-horrors(2)[1]The Tories have unveiled their new shiny-brushed policy on dental health to be rolled out in who knows where? 

Because in their press release, their news report and  their in-depth 12 page pdf download, they don’t mention exactly where their fantastic toothy-peg policy is relevant to…  

“We will take immediate steps to reform the existing system so that dental professionals are freed to give far better preventive care, thus improving oral health and reducing longterm costs”.

Yes but where, whereWHERE will you Tories be doing all this fantastic dental work?

Well as they ain’t saying, I suppose it must be England then?

So why do you reckon that all the Brit’ obsessed parties never actually say where their health, education, transport and planning policies are being rolled out? Why do you think they never actually mention England?

Could it be that Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs will be voting on such English-only policies at Westminster? And if this knowledge is absorbed into the English public’s mind, they might, just might start to ask awkward questions about mandates, legitimacy, relevance?…

England converted into massive nuclear power station

The 2050 Lake District fell-walking suit is unveiled.

The 2050 Lake District fell-walking suit is unveiled.

Great news! List of 11 new nuclear sites released….. 10 of the 11 sites are in England, the third most densely populated country in the world!

Solitary token site announced in Wyfla north Wales, but due to vociferous local opposition from Welsh nationalists, it is expected that this power station will never be built. HOWEVER, due to the passing of the new English only planning bill last winter, local opposition in England will not be allowed to deflect the government from their new-build zeal. That planning bill was obviously shepherded through parliament by the ‘Aye’ votes of Welsh, Northern Irish and especially Scottish Labour MPs.

And all the government have to do is quote the mantra enshrined in the new bill…. And that mantra is… ‘For the common good’… It means ‘for the common good of the people of the whole of the UK’ – and that includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland…. Yet again, England is left, bereft of any national representation. Yet again, it is England’s few remaining green spaces which will bear the brunt of this massive round of toxic new builds – and all because we like to leave out tellies on stand-by..

And yet again, during the winter parliamentary session, it will be Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs who will ‘legitimise’ this process when they vote it through…..So that’s alright then. And as for all you people out there who believe that English local planners still have the power to reject the planning permission, think again. This extract taken from the super friendly Office of Nuclear Development website ‘We think nuclear power is really cool’  …

‘Developers may apply to the Infrastructure Planning Commission (an independent body set up to decide on planning applications for projects of national significance) for development consent for those sites which are found to be strategically suitable in the Nuclear NPS. Before a developer applies for permission it has to consult relevant Local Authorities and local communities’.

For those that don’t know, the Infrastructure Planning Commission is a government appointed quango of yes-monkeys each with a wad of cash in one hand and a rubber stamp in the other. They have the power to impose anything Gordon Brown wants, anywhere in England. Oh……. and just in case you were wondering where all the toxic nuclear waste is going to be buried? Got it in one! beneath the green sward of the Lake District…… William Wordsworth will be pleased.

Whatever you do, don’t mention England….

Amazing…. Alan Johnson, England’s Health Secretary celebrates the fact that cancer patients in England can now get free prescriptions – without actually mentioning England

This excerpt from the Labour web site…

Labour’s Secretary of State for Health, Alan Johnson, has announced that, from April 1st, prescriptions will be made free of charge for everyone being treated for cancerThe announcement, which fulfils the pledge made by the Prime Minister last year, will benefit up to 150,000 people who have been diagnosed with cancer – saving them around £100 a year in prescription charges.

Under Labour, the NHS has made real progress in combating cancer. But the Tories would put this at risk. They are committed to scrapping the waiting time guarantees that have meant faster diagnosis and treatment for people with cancer and suspected cancer. Labour will never abandon people during tough times.

Labour’s Health Secretary, Alan Johnson, said:

“This is really important because the last thing cancer sufferers need is to be worried about finances.

“Driving down the levels of cancer has been very important for this government. Ensuring that we reduce the suffering of cancer patients and avoid them getting that disease in the first place is crucial.”

The reasons the big ‘E’ isn’t even hinted at are three fold.

1) To mention England is to recognise its national status – and that would never do, would it?

2) To mention England is to admit in effect that Johnson’s remit ain’t quite as big as he and the Labour spin machine like to project. By omitting the ‘E’ word, Johnson can continue to deceive the English public that he has a UK responsibility – he doesn’t!!

3) To mention England is to let the cat out of the bag that England’s people are being routinely discriminated against. All the other countries within the UK are or are actively planning to introduce free prescriptions for ALL of their citizens, not just for cancer patients… And as well as that, they of course have access to a far bigger chemist shop of cancer drugs than the impoverished people of England do…  

Lies, damn lies and new Labour press releases!
