UK: Burnham’s Labour Continues “Stealth Shutting-Down” of Socialist NHS – as Prostrate Cancer Treatment Cut! (15.8.2026)

The shutting-down of a “free at use” NHS requires the New Labour government to keep encouraging the importation of migrant labour – whilst simultaneously bleating-on in Parliament that it is trying to “do something about it”. Do you know, I was part of the “LEXIT” (hard-left) “left Out of the EU” campaign for precisely this reason. Many unions backed LEXIT as did many non-White British workers – as this is NOT about race – but ALL workers’ rights! In many meetings I saw, non-White (British) workers gave speeches about how unfamiliar foreign communities had sprung-up, took-over areas, and aggressively competed for housing and work. Why? Just so our Socialist system can be dismantled and sold to the US? I met some of these new arrivals and by and large they were good people – the victims of post-1991 (Soviet-collapse) capitalism (the US again). Most told me that life was good under the Soviet system – but now it was terrible under capitalism. The US has injected far-right ideology into Eastern Europe to prevent what it fears will be a resurgence of Soviet Socialism. We should be “comrades” and not “competitors”! Without properly funded and empowered unions all over Europe (the EU must go) – the workers are reduced to scrambling individuals fighting desperately for scraps from the master’s table.

The education system is “not set up to serve white working-class children and families”, an independent inquiry has concluded. Picture: Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images

UK: Education System ‘Not Set Up to Serve White Working-Class Children’! (29.6.2026)

The Independent Inquiry into White Working-Class Educational Outcomes also determined that once-in-a-generation reforms were needed to tackle why such children are the lowest-performing large demographic in England’s school system.

It was commissioned last summer by the multi-academy trust Star Academies, and is supported by the Department for Education.

Inquiry co-chairs Baroness Estelle Morris and Sir Hamid Patel said the issues identified in the report “cannot be explained away by low aspiration or lack of effort”, and cannot be “solved by schools alone”.

Thousands of young people and their parents, as well as hundreds of teachers, were interviewed for the inquiry.

The Education Secretary has welcomed a report into educational outcomes for white working-class boys, saying class remains “a huge driver of outcomes…right across society”.

Bridget Phillipson told Times Radio: “I welcome the report, because I think it shines a really important light on what has been an underdiscussed area for some time in the schools.”

She added: “Class is a huge driver of outcomes, never mind in our politics, but right across society.

“If by class we mean the family that you’re born into determining what you go on to achieve in life, that’s as strong a driver as anything.

“We know that children born into less well-off families are more likely to arrive at school further behind their more affluent peers. We know they don’t make progress across school in closing that gap, and we know they’re more likely at the end of school to go into being not in education, employment, or training.

“So, background, social background, family background, where you’re born, they are big determinants of what you achieve in your life.

A Family of Enlightened Hillbillies!

UK: My Father’s Email of Light! (9.4.2026)

My father – Peter Wyles (Moses Waveman) – is currently in a pickle, but it is happening to millions of elderly across the UK as the incumbent Labour Party is busy privatising the NHS and the Elderly Care System. NHS staff and Social Services (SS) staff all collude with this deficient treatment so that it becomes “legal” to provide inadequate and abusive care to the nation’s elderly. Labour also orders the police to telephone (and intimidate) any family member who complains online about the terrible treatment that is happening to their elderly relatives. I know this because it has happened to some one I know. What a disgrace the UK has become. The NHS and SS workers should be on the side of the working class that pays their wages through collective taxation. Still, no matter what happens – we will fight to the end!

Issy Ferris and Archie Sylvester were told they faced $200,000 (£146,500) of medical bills after their baby was born prematurely in the US despite them being insured

UK: British Couple Get “Taste” of “Private Healthcare Hell” as Woman Gives Birth in US By Mistake – and Receives $200,000 Bill! (21.2.2026)

Not one word about a privatising NHS – or the fact that if the original 1948 NHS is not returned (advocating “care” over “cost”) – we will all be paying these types of ridiculous bills. My partner is a NHS Midwife who serves every pregnant woman “free” at the point of use – as she is paid via collective taxation. This is the same as in Cuba, China, or North Korea – and most Western and Northern European countries. Americanisation in the UK and Europe does mean that private healthcare is knocking on the door. Imagine that hell! Look at how the shyster insurance company attempting to “scam” these two clients. This is the horror that awaits us all!

Labour Abolished NHS England!

UK: Labour Announces Plans for “Psychic” Hospitals! (1.10.2025)

It is the usual smoke and mirrors from the Labour government. What Labour is not telling you about the Moorfields experiment is that it occurred during the Covid-19 Pandemic when face-to-face appointments were replaced with telephone calls. As a lockdown was in place – Moorfields had no other option. As soon as Lockdown was lifted – Moorfields reverted to the traditional model of safe face-to-face appointments in an ever shrinking NHS. Labour is closing down the NHS – and is packaging each stage of this shutting down – as being “an improvement”. Psychic doctoring used to be illegal.

Jessica Brady contacted her GP practice more than 20 times feeling unwell

NHS: Privatising GPs Told to “Stop Killing Patients” Unnecessarily! (23.9.2025)

The Department of Health said many GP practices already used the correct approach, but that Jess’ s Rule would make this “standard practice across the country”.

Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting thanked Jess’s family, saying they had campaigned tirelessly through “unimaginable grief” to ensure Jessica’s legacy helps to save the lives of others.

“Patient safety must be the bedrock of the NHS, and Jess’s Rule will make sure every patient receives the thorough, compassionate, and safe care that they deserve, while supporting our hard-working GPs to catch potentially deadly illnesses,” he said.

Paul Callaghan, from Healthwatch England, which represents people who use health and social care services, said the rule should be implemented “quickly and consistently”.

“It’s also imperative that specialist teams have the resources to deal with potential increases in demand, resulting from increased referrals,” he said.
