How come? Adults Only


This week, despite the wishes of a lot of Labour MP's, the government finally caved in and allowed people who can afford it to buy their own drugs and top up their cancer treatment, giving them the best chance of survival and prolonging their lives. But how come the NHS doesn't just supply the drugs needed?

Well according to NICE, who dictate what drugs cancer patients can or cannot have it's because the NHS can't afford the drugs because they are too expensive. Now while it's true that these drugs are very expensive and the drug companies could and should reduce their prices the argument that the NHS can't afford them is rubbish.

Firstly they are quite happy to provide fertility treatment to people too selfish to adopt. Not being able to have a baby is not a life threatening condition and treating people for it at the same time as saying you can't afford drugs to keep people alive is shameful.

Then there is the huge problem in the A&E departments. People without a national insurance number, those who to put it bluntly are here illegally and shouldn't be getting free health care, are not allowed to register with a GP so everday they clog our accident and emergency departments up getting treatment they are not entitled to and using up vast amounts of money and resources. So we can treat people from all over the world for free but can't afford to give our cancer patients life saving drugs? Shameful.

Then there are the translators. Anybody who doesn't speak English, even if they are illegal, is entitled to a translator in hospital, provided for free by the NHS. Now if you live in this country, pay your taxes in this country and therefore entitled to treatment then you should be able to speak our language and shouldn't need a translator. So cancer patients are denied the drugs they need while people not entitled to treatment or too lazy to learn our language get special help. Shameful.

Then what about the free prescriptions that the Welsh get, given to them just to try and win votes and keep Labour in power? Last year that cost 385 million pounds! So our MP's can use our money to buy votes but can't afford to give cancer patients the drugs they need. Shameful.

The truth is that were it run properly, and as a health service rather than a political football, the NHS could easily afford to give us people who need them the drugs we require. But that won't get this scum of a government many extra votes so they would rather bribe the Welsh and pander to minorities while cancer patients die.

It is nothing more than another part of the genocide and mass murder that Labour are carrying out against the sick, poor and elderly in this country.

Here is a bird.

With age comes wisdom.

ANALOGY:

I bought a bird feeder.
I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed.
What a beauty of a bird feeder it is as I filled it
lovingly with seed.
Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking
advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily
accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the
boards of the patio, above the table, and next to
the barbecue.
Then came the poo. It was everywhere:
on the patio tile, the chairs, the table...everywhere!
Then some of the birds turned mean.
They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even
though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
And other birds were boisterous and loud.
They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed
at all hours of the day and night and demanded that
I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even sit in my own back
garden anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and
in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their
mess and took down the many nests they had built all
over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like it used to be .....
Quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a
free meal.
Now let's see..... Our government gives out free food,
subsidised housing, free medical care, and free education
and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.

Then the illegal came by the tens of thousands.
Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services;
small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to
wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor;
your child's class is behind other schools because over
half the class doesn't speak English.

Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box;
I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English,
and people waving flags other than the English Flag are
squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more
rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it is time for
the government to take down the bird feeder.
