"The £4.1bn bill for the 1,307 brain-damaged babies is further evidence of the growing crisis of poor care being provided across many NHS childbirth services. Almost two-thirds of maternity units in England are unsafe, according to the Care Quality Commission, the independent health regulator. Maternity care overall is getting worse, the CQC has warned.”

Their is a reason the Torys are doing this. The Tories are getting paid by big pharma and healthcare companies to run the NHS into ground. They will replace it with the same system we have in the US. Expensive as hell. And pushing people into poverty. Everything you hear that is wrong with a single payer system is just Madison Av. BS coming from bloated pharma and HCA or Healthcare Corporation of America.

I think we can stop calling these people Christians. They don't really do a lot of the things the Bible said Jesus you should do.

I didn't watch the news. May I assume from this post that 45 went from having Kanye West suck up to him in public to Wayne's ex?

To be fair, I can't hear 45's voice without yelling "eat shit and die." My neighbors are tired of the profanity.

Well, 45 has a history of not paying his bills and calling it good business. I hope his paid endorsers got paid up front.

Otherwise, it is the same old story of a white man ripping off black people.

I hate to say this. But I think it often.

We are not going to see positive change in this country until the white baby-boomer generation has declined in the population.

Am I cynical? Yes. And I wish it was not this way. Most of the Republicans I know are more interested in seeing somebody else fail instead of good governance. They want to see gotchas and what-abouts. 😕

I am thinking we need some anti trust law suits for the American media system. They have made more than enough money and they are failing in their obligations to America. Google, Meta, News Corp, X. If they want to use lies to make money then we don't need them.

I lived in Wichita, KS for 9 years. A lot this shit is a few racists with too much money.
Yes, I am talking about the Koch family. Now you could say it is also being fed by an Australian racist with too much money. Or a South African racist with too much money.
So, I will simplify and say it is white racists with too much money. If they can spend all this money to bribe Congressmen and interfere in elections then they are under taxed.

Something, I don't get is the headlines saying Biden and 45 are close in the polls. How?
Is the polling source that skewed? 538 got 2016 completely wrong. Fox "news" and Carl Rove got into a public pissing contest about polling data. And Rove works for Fox "news".

Meanwhile, the Republicans want a guy in the White House that told people they inject bleach into their body to fight COVID-19.
I never thought we had this many stupid people in America.
BTW if you point that out to supporters of 45, they will tell you that, "You're being one sided." 🤦🏻

This photograph immortalizes a WW2 British soldier who carries a donkey on his shoulders, probably exhausted from the march and the weight carried, or wounded. An image that represents the sense of friendship that was created during the atrocities of war.

Now the UK and US terrorize their own people to protect a new ethnostate that acts exactly like Nazis.

And the Germans are arresting Jews again. Non-Zionist Jews.

Before the declaration of war against Germany, the US had and has a problem with fascism. The obvious one was the KKK. But not as well known, Germany sponsored many pro fascism rallies in the prelude to WW2. Those rallies were well attended.

I suspect that under funding if the NHS was a contributing cause.
Their seems to be a movement in Britain to remake healthcare into the American system. The things corporations do to get filthy rich.

Well, instead of using teachable moments to teach ethics and morals, we use teachable moments to explain how we can exploit a situation.
