UK: Disability Groups “Stepping Back” Over Labour “Benefit Cuts” Betrayal! (8.4.2025)

The BBC said “nothing” when the Tories and LibDems killed over 120,000 people with disabilities (through Benefit and NHS cuts) between 2010-2016 – as confirmed by a UN investigation at the time. Indeed, the BBC said “nothing” as these cuts have continued to kill people with disabilities post-2016. Now, after finally getting a Labour government into power – the disability establishment has discovered that Starmer represents a return to the Blairite attacks on disability – as if the clock has been turned back to the early 2000! Whilst Labour is shutting-down the NHS and further eroding Welfare – it is simultaneously supplying Neo-Nazi Ukraine and Zionist Israel with billions of pounds in finance and copious amounts of weaponry! Business as usual then – for 10 Downing Street under Labour!

Labour Killing Disabled!

UK: £416.19 Victory for Disabled People – High Court Ruling Declared DWP’s Benefit Reforms Unfair & Illegal! (4.4.2025)

The DWP claimed the changes were designed to “support” disabled people into work. However, there was no evidence that the reforms would actually improve employment outcomes. In fact, internal assessments suggested the opposite: more disabled people facing tougher conditions, sanctions, and loss of income.

This contradiction was a central part of the court’s ruling. Public Law Project lawyer Aoife O’Reilly called the decision a “vindication,” noting that public consultations must reflect reality—not political spin.

Backlash and Response

Disability rights organizations, legal experts, and even civil service unions welcomed the court’s judgment. Groups such as Inclusion London and the UK DDPO CRPD Monitoring Coalition are now urging the government to drop the reforms and restart the process—with disabled people at the table.

NHS For Sale!

Consequence of Voting Labour: Wes Streeting to Axe Thousands of Jobs at NHS England After Ousting of Chief Executive! (26.2.2025)

Only the rich will receive treatment – whilst the enriched health professionals who allow this – should be arrested and tried for Crimes Against Humanity. Make no mistake about it, whilst NHS staff are imprisoned due to the effect of the cuts – the Labour government is deliberately and systematically destroying what is left of the NHS – at a time when Australia has refused to follow the UK path of subordination to US dictates! Whatever the case, the Western bourgeoisie at the moment, is in total disarray – as the fascist Trump stampedes around the political landscape – sharing metaphorical cigarettes with Kim Jong Un – as they both lean against a wall nervously awaiting the outcome of an important UN vote! China opposed the UN condemning of Russia for its self-defence fight against Neo-Nazi Ukraine – whilst Starmer’s New Labour voted “for”! The UN has never once condemned Israel for its “aggression” in Gaza – regardless of the body-count!

Revolutionary Blake's7! 2024 Bluray!

UK: The Revolutionary Spirit of Blake’s 7! (7.1.2025)

I watched the BBC SciFi series entitled “Blake’s 7” when it was first broadcast between 1978-1981. Like many, I was sad when the series ended. It grew out of Dr Who (Terry Nation) and reflected a left-wing uprising against a right-wing Fascist State. The late 1970s was the last time a left-wing Labour Party was in power. The British workers united and rose-up to secure their rights with strikes, mass demonstrations, and marches. During the 1970s, and as a reaction to the left-leaning Hippy movement of the 1960s, The British “National Front” (NF) was on the march with its rampant message of misogyny, racism, and wanton violence. This led to the defeat of the workers at the ballot box (that’s liberal democracy for you) and the advent of the fascistic Margaret Thatcher – a working class Tory who had benefited from the free milk given to school children, free healthcare, free education, subsidised social housing, and welfare support, etc. During her ten-year tenure – Thatcher took all this away from the British people!

Mei-An - Happy 12th Birthday! 2024

Mei-An – Happy 12th Birthday! (8.5.2024)

I was forced to go out and purchase extra food – little did I know at the time that Gee would end-up working as a NHS Midwife – albeit in another London Hospital! Gee’s waters partially broke on Saturday evening – but as this was her first baby – she was not sure about what was happening. As matters transpired, it took until Tuesday morning for the waters to fully break – and that was following medical intervention. Just prior to the birth – Gee was practicing Taijiquan in the Room! Twelve-years on, Mei-An is a student of Nonsuch School for Girls!

The British NHS is Funded By Collective Taxation!

NHS: Enforced [Tory] A&E Crisis Kills Extra 14,000 Patients in Single Year! (2.4.2024)

LONDON, April 1 (Xinhua) — It was estimated that there were about 14,000 excess deaths in 2023 related to 12-hour-long-or-more waits in the accident and emergency (A&E) units in the United Kingdom (UK), according to a research result released here on Monday.

The Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) made the research, using a method called the Standard Mortality Ratio, which calculates that there will be one additional death for every 72 patients that experience an eight-to-twelve-hour wait prior to their admission.

It revealed that more than 1.5 million patients waited 12 hours or more in 2023, and estimated that an average of over 268 patients died each week due to waits of 12 hours or longer.
