Democracy can replace NHS strikes

The present government shows no sign of backing down, and will never back down on its determination to force through a contract. Any government have had a history of ignoring strikes in the past in spite of mass protests. It is the government's way of having power over the NHS and also the politicians like to have an upper hand, and are really playing games with the NHS. The dispute between the government and the NHS will never be resolved.

And strikes are useless and effective putting people's lives at risk. Strikes should be discouraged as it will only give the government more power over people, and is overruling democracy. While the public is on the side of NHS, Jeremy Hunt cannot ever try and exploit divisions in the BMA over the wisdom of strike action. Instead of mass walkouts, the only solution would be is to stand up to the government and say 'stuff politics'.

It is claimed that 100,000 operations and up to 1 million appointments could be cancelled. This would put pressure on the A&E departments dealing with the influx of patients waiting for operations or appointments. The best way to resolve this situation is to stand up to the government and keep the five working days. And get paid for the five working days, and not seven. There is already a seven day around the clock treatment for all patients.

Doctors are not allowed to not get paid for the extra two days on top of five working days. They do have a life and have families, and deserve time off. They can work on any day of the week as long as it is five working days in total. It is totally unacceptable to work seven days a week and only gets paid for five days and not have a break at all.

Doctors cannot deliver quality of care and safety while they working underperformed due to tiredness, overworked and not having a break. We all need to put our foot down and say 'NO' to the government and carry on as if nothing happens. Democracy has more power over the government, and cannot be dictated to by the government.

Human Rights concerns around the world

Human rights concerns do persist in all parts of the world with killings, torture, ill treatment, illegal detention, slavery, forced labour, lack of freedom of movement, assembly, expression, enforced disappearance.

We all face difficult humanitarian situation, and residents are facing life without effective protection of their rights.

People are facing difficulties in exercising economic and social rights with no access to quality medical care, accommodation, social services and benefits. Some have no access to life savings, people with disabilities with little assistance. All these have left them in bleak, life threatening conditions. Residents may be affected by the broad curtailment of their rights due to the application of a restrictive legal framework imposed on them.

While one country is criminally accountable for human rights abuses. It is usually the police or law enforcement officers who have not properly addressed these issues, or are not collecting facts. There are allegations of violations of the right to life, liberty, security, physical integrity, fair trial, freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.

These allegations can be lies [trying to blame the other] or through hate or spite for the other. The situation has deteriorated with serious consequences for one's country's territorial integrity, stability and unity.

This is because of one's country's poor economic situation, and lack of reforms like police, prisons, judicial courts etc.

I have to point out that imposing sanctions does have a detrimental effect when there is no more money available to do these reforms. Changes to reforms can be so dramatic, that it takes time to do all these properly.

And if one's country starts to have economic difficulties because of a war, everything has to be on a back burner. It makes sense to try and prioritise the economy above everything else including war.

When a war takes place, one's country does the reversal of being a third world country. So human rights terms and conditions are so appalling and neglected. That it takes a great climb back up from third world to second world country, and from second world to first world country.

It could take a few years, decades or centuries depending on the competence of each government.

Human Rights Act

Only 24% of us have actually voted for David Cameron's government. David Cameron wants us to believe that everyone agrees with his plan to scrap the Human Rights Act.

It is beyond belief that David Cameron is trying to abolish the law which gives us the right not to be tortured, the right to a fair trial and the right to an education.

The Human Rights Act offers protection for the people of our country, and the policies allows any of us to hold public institutions like the police, prisons and councils to account.

Without such protection, one would be wrongly accused of a crime, the government will be allowed to breach our privacy, and anyone could fall victim to careless decisions made by authorities.

We must stand up for fairness, equality and justice and keep Human Rights Act. The only thing the present government should do is to stop the abuse of human rights, and do something about it.

Gay Marriage

I have always thought that any government had no right to talk about gay marriage. It was a very big mistake that any government would introduce the debate on Gay Marriage. The present or past government have no right to introduce a law, or bills on gay marriage that has nothing to do with the state.

The state had no right to redefine marriage. It is not an equality issue when it comes to Canon's Law as is part of the law of the land stating marriage in its nature a union of one man and woman and is intended to make children in the christian union. The institution of marriage in churches is distinctive, and applies to all christians between man and woman.

There is no reason why same sex couples can have a blessing in a church, if they are Christians, and wants to bring any child or children up as Christians.

But the churches have to be held accountable to bless same sex couples and LGBTs as they have to be scrutinised against criminal records for being paedophiles or sex offenders. What the government can do is get civil partnerships performed not only by councils, but adoption and fostering agencies as well to get more policing efforts to make sure no same sex couples, and LGBTs have a criminal record during the process of vetting before they marry.

Same sex couples have already got equality by taking part in civil partnerships, and still able to marry. It takes nothing away from their relationships. They still have recognition of being married, and able to share the same rights as inheriting money, properties etc. Under current law same sex marriage can have a civil partnership, but not a civil marriage, and there is no legitimate reason to change this.

National Aids Trust v NHS England via High Court and World Health Organisation



I am astonished at the High Court's decision in the case of National Aids Trust versus NHS England to providing preventative treatment for both gay men and sex workers at risk of HIV/AIDS infection.

The World Health Organisation recommends that anyone at high risk of HIV/AIDS infection should receive PrEP.

This is not about discrimination, it is about health, and there is no stigma attached to it, just because anyone could be gay.

The High Court and World Health Organisation have been mislead on the rights of gay men and sex workers to get treatment from NHS England.

It is about duty and costs. NHS England has no real duty to provide preventative treatment because regulations introduced in 2012 transferred many public health responsibilities to local authorities. While PrEP is preventative and curative, it is not for gay men and sex workers to seek it from NHS England.

Treatment options for HIV/AIDS should be sought from sexual health charities such as the Terrence Higgins Trust supporting gay men and sex workers.

NHS England spends £360,000 on average treating an individual who contracts HIV/AIDS over the course of their lifetime only on HIV/AIDS positive mothers and children who have been exposed to HIV/AIDS within 72 hours through no fault of their own.

PrEP is not a promiscuity pill or a lifestyle drug. While women who are exposed have the right to make a range of decisions about their bodies, men also have the right to make a range of decisions about their bodies too.

But men has to take responsibilities if they transmit HIV/AIDS for the sake of pleasure, and at a huge cost of NHS England.

This is wrong, as NHS England cannot be responsible to take preventative measures while men choose to take part in an unclean act in carnal relations for pleasure creating health problems which also include cancers.

There is nothing morally wrong with men wanting to love each other, but taking part in an unchristian and unclean act increasing chances of infection or infecting their partners is not a preventative act to good health.

If men truly love each other, they would not put their lives at risk, and use alternatives to maintain a deep loving relationship. It is their responsibility to consider a sensible public health approach to take preventative measures.

It is no good saying 'Oh goody, we can protect ourselves with a pill'.

We cannot expect NHS England to pay for the huge costs of sexual health of gay men and sexual workers.

But they can use the sexual health charities at their peril, or pay costs themselves.

NHS England does have a duty to make sure PrEP is available, and sexual health charities can buy and obtain them from NHS England, and be sure to include records of users to be included in the NHS medical records.

This is about discipline and restraint as well as responsibilities.

I understand that using condoms are not really 100% preventative, but it is also the responsibility of the condom makers to make sure it is, by making them a bit thicker, stronger and foolproof designed for men and sexual workers.

NHS has been on life support for a very long time financially

There will always be deep seated systemic problems. It is wrong to think of NHS be rationed, cuts yes, but rationed no.

I agree that the NHS should make efficiency savings, but only on wastage areas.

We cannot have restrictions on any surgery, hospitals or employment if it is going to affect standard of care.

We have had serious warnings in the past as well as in the present, about rationing of health services whenever there is a financial crisis. Being in a financial crisis does not help to address the deep seated systemic problems.

Extra funding can be avoided and major cuts need not be inevitable. But no government have managed not to affect standard of care without cuts and lack of funding. No government have managed the top down organisation.

Demand is growing because no government have tackled any problems within the NHS. The way it is going, the NHS will only have doctors and nurses, and no treatments at all for the patients. 

All these problems needs to be addressed.

The government advisers have no clue on how to help NHS face serious financial challenges. 

Only I can see the problems, and see efficiencies in the NHS, and can organise the top down of the NHS.

It is not true that the NHS has a strong plan to balance the books, and that they are providing support for this. There is no proof of this, and it is not stated how. This has been going on for decades, and the black hole in funding the NHS is getting deeper.

There is no way anyone can save the NHS.

But I can, but no one will employ me to turn the NHS around, and make it a healthy institution.

The NHS has been on life support for a very long time financially.

International Constitution is needed to prevent conflicts, wars and chaos

There are internal issues that needs to be resolved worldwide to prevent conflicts, coups, chaos and wars. There have been threats of the use of military power and attempts to rewrite history. We need an international constitution with a will to dominate world affairs.

There is clearly a failure to see an effective and influential instrument of preserving peace, and security, and that democracy has been excluded from the process of finding key solutions to international problems.

We have had politicians using rude manipulation of international law as international law gives justice, rights, security and freedoms. The rude manipulation leads to mandate of destruction, on going chaos, unsavoury methods of democracy, declining standards in politics, economics and ideology.

Such approaches are in no way in keeping with the principles on which democracy is based, and counter an objective tendency of spread of global economic and political might. There are techniques of inspiring inner conflicts and carrying out regime operations. One example is open encouragement of the anti-constitutional coups or poor bad elections.

Unilateral restrictive measures and attempts of exterritorial use of national legislation are nothing more than a manifestation of archaic and bloc ways of thinking.

We can start by officially not recognising Islamist State. And do more to eradicate brutality and violence as well as doing away with incompetent governments incapable of governing to protect their leaders. We need to hold incompetent governments accountable for destabilising and undermining security of each country.

We need to have common sense and have good judgement and work closely together to combat threatening situations. We cannot just be observer and judge of the world, we need to take action.

I have seen a lot of countries most affected by the deep internal conflicts of divisions, sectarianism and racism. There have been a lot of damage to democracy, and people greatly suffer from not benefiting from democracy.

Most people seem to think it is just a military solution to all the conflicts. That people gets victimised and gets all the blame, while there is clearly an incompetent government.

All countries can be brought closely together and united if we adopted an undivided international constitution. All the conflicts would be non-existent if we all agree to the undivided international constitution.

It is the responsibility of democracy to make sure we do have the right political leader to form a competent government. In order to get peace and have a conflict free future, we need to have international electoral reforms.

The MPs clearly do have a problem electing their own leader because there is not enough who put forward their name for leader leading to a leader being unelected.

People clearly do have a problem with fraud in elections. People clearly do have a problem with not having fair free elections.

All these lead to disaster and incompetent governments. The international constitution as demanded by democracy is that when there are failures and problems with having legal elections, is to create a constitution to say that there must be a general election.

To create a constitution to ensure that no military official can take part in ruling its country, but can allow any military official or persons from all walks of life (doctors, lawyers, ordinary citizens etc) to take part in elections in order to be part of the government.

To create a constitution to ensure that no President or Prime Minister can overrule elections, to manipulate elections, and overrule the justice system including dismantling the justice system. 

This method makes it easier for people to hold elections without interference from any rogue government leader, and rogue parliament.

It is essential, and life saving to have an international constitution in order to be conflict free, war free, and to finally have peace, security, justice, new order, harmony, and new lives globally.

Brexit and the Economy

We certainly can blame the Brexit leading to dramatic deterioration in economic activity, not seen since the aftermath of the financial crisis. We have been prepared few months before the Brexit happened so we cannot say we are not prepared. Even the Bank of England was cautious and prepared for such an event.

The pound fell soon after, but picked up quickly, and now it is falling again. Exports have been picked up by the falling pound. Post Brexit slump costs Easyjet £40m due to the falling pound. Both manufacturing and service sectors saw a decline in output and orders. The business activity could be higher or lower than a month ago. Manufacturing activity also could be higher or lower than a month ago. But they still can fluctuate for many months if not stabilised. We could have continued record slump.

All this is home grown due to the Brexit, and is meant to be short term. The economy will not right itself in the coming months.

We are already heading for recession with the government borrowing at over £1 trillion pounds in spite of a lower deficit. There will be long term uncertainty, as the deep seated problem is stalling or delaying the invoking of Article 50.

I am certain that invoking the Article 50 now will trigger stability in the markets, in businesses and manufacturing. Any economic impact will then become short term, and will be on the new road to prosperity enabling to do more trade with other countries as well as Europe, but not with the European Union.

A lot of businesses have been more successful in relocating to countries such as Russia, and they feel more safe and secure there. This shows that [EU] Exit is working well. [This was because of sanctions].

I have predicted that there will be turmoil in the Brexit economy which is why I have as democracy invoked Article 50, the day after Brexit. This invoked Article 50 still needs to be confirmed by the Prime Minister. The invoked Article 50 is still there and secure, even if the Prime Minister refuse to invoke the Article 50.

The Prime Minister can take all the time in the world, and start negotiations but only after invoking the Article 50. And not before.

United Kingdom can help to end the civil war in Ukraine


We only have two days before the Houses of Parliament breaks up for the holidays. This is a matter of urgency,  I wish to raise for the parliamentarians to take heed on the conflict in Ukraine. 

It was the United States [hegemony] who initiated the conflict of the Maidan revolution. 

Relations between countries should be built upon principles of equality, and cooperation, and no country in the world has no right to impose its will upon others and displace legitimate governments. Countries are facing threats of the use of military power but I am more concerned about Ukraine as I am a representative for the Ukrainians.

There is no sign of the civil war ending between the Ukrainian government, and the civilians in Eastern Ukraine. Minsk Accords still have not been implemented needed to have peace.

Verkhovna Rada have lost its own reputation, credibility and functionality.

I would like United Kingdom to be an effective and influential instrument of preserving peace and security. And not allow it to turn it into an arena escalated struggle, fuelling conflict further, and not allowing fascists and other radical groups to expand.

While we are all agreed on sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity of Ukraine. We welcome support for humanitarian reasons, and help all Ukrainian communities all over the world especially Canada and United Kingdom to keep in touch, and help the Ukrainians in Ukraine.

We cannot attempt at imposing on Ukraine decisions and standards in politics, economics and ideology even if Ukraine has zero politics, and has a negative unworkable government. The anti-constitutional coup has not helped Ukraine, and things are worse than you had imagined before.

It would help greatly, really greatly, if United Kingdom would refrain from giving military support, equipment and arms in the hope that the civil war would subside. This is in order to stabilise Ukraine.

We need to do more to eradicate brutality and violence, as well as doing away with incompetent governments incapable of governing to protect their civilians. We must hold incompetent governments accountable for destabilising, and undermining security of each country. This is not a military solution.

I have kept a diary, proofs and newspaper articles that United Kingdom is party to the conflict. I wish that to end, as I hate wars, discord, suffering and destruction.​ United Kingdom cannot possibly be one of the countries to be a global prosecutor,  judge and executioner.

Electoral Reform System


United Kingdom have had General Election last year. The political landscape have changed and we have the age old core deep seated conflict between parliamentarians and the people.

This UK General Election have changed things with people wanting Electoral Reform System which got me thinking that parts of the world has got the same problem. I find it hard to believe that it took us centuries to realise this age old core of deep seated conflict was the culprit of fighting for our rights and democracy. Here is why, and this is what happened after our General Election in UK. This is a copy from my other post on Democracy.

This has been a devastating blow with the Conservatives having won a majority and crossed the line. Voters were forced to vote tactically, rather than for who they really believe in. They wanted to fight for Britain we believe in. This election proved there needed to be a change in the voting system. We need a fairer and more reflective system as the voting system had handled us unfair results and unrepresentative governments. It denies voters real choice. Under a different system we could have our views fairly represented in Parliament as seats do not match votes. There has got to be reforms in the electoral system.

The link between a party's share of the vote, and the seats they get in Parliament has broken down completely. The two biggest parties took two thirds of the vote, but received more than four fifths of the seats. The other smaller parties with votes would almost make up the same numbers as Conservatives if they are against it. There was no real contest in more than half the seats. It is an unfair system with half the voters voting for Conservatives and the half voting for other parties. It is still a very close contest with half of the other voters being without justice and representation. It is a disaster for democracy.

We must have a fair and just proportional voting system so that anti-conservative voters do get representation in the Houses of Parliament. It should not be about geography. Voters should be in control, and not the parties. Anti-conservative voters should not be the silent voters. We must not be mistaken or ever forget votes from other parties do count, either in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. Half of these voters in our country will always be disgruntled, angry, upset, disillusioned and disengaged. We cannot accept a split in the United Kingdom.

This calls for a new electoral reform before the next General Election at Christmas, Multi-Party Coalition, new Prime Minister or a President of the United Kingdom.

Weak leaders with unacceptable differences in politics and democracy, with United Kingdom in chaos as voters are split in General Elections as well as Party Leaderships. 

There are more uncertainties and pessimism for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England than over before. United Kingdom will never regain its stability and security needed unless we can make dramatic changes.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/may/09/australian-born-leader-of-uk-greens-blasts-british-voting-system

This proves that democracy is not working, and that a majority of the people were not represented. It seems like that the Conservatives were only looking after the Conservatives, and not the Anti-Conservatives which felt left out. The Anti-Conservatives are a neglected majority. This is called Democracy Deficit.

Democracy Deficit as I found out, existed around parts of the world like Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Yemen etc which have culminated in fighting for rights and freedom. If we did rectify the Democracy Deficit, then everyone would be happier and living more peacefully. 

I have discovered when it came to analysing that, if we had an Electoral Reform System based on votes rather than on seats. We would not have Nationalists taking over one country like Scotland while at the same time there are other losing political parties who have gained votes as well as SNP (Scottish Nationalist Party). We have got Plaid Cymru (Welsh Nationalist Party) and Sinn Fein (Northern Ireland Nationalist Party) too.

Having a new Electoral Reform System will discourage Nationalists from forming in the first place to enable other political parties like Labour, UKIP, Liberal Democrats etc to represent their own people whether they are Scottish, Welsh or English.

This calls for United Kingdom to take action to make sure there is Electoral Reform System generally, that it is fair and just. The age old core deep seated conflict has to be tackled properly in order for democracy to effectively work.

It has been proved that the hung parliament and coalition does not work, as new conflicts, differences of policies in parties does not work.

22nd July 2016

I have been watching with interest about matters arising before adjournment in the House of Commons. I assume what matters has been raised, is passed to the Chief Whip afterwards. I have suprised myself thinking what I could have done, and that I could have dealt with all these matters within an hour.

One subject, I can only talk about is the lack of young people voting at 16 that has remained unsolved for a very long time. We cannot force young people to vote at 16, the reasons could be to do with differing party policies. I have not voted for a long time, and did not vote in the general election thinking one vote less would not improve, and I was right although it was a risk.

Anyway, I think young people who come of age who are eligible to vote should have their name put down in the electoral roll automatically. This also helps the census, identity, and the whereabouts of all young people in each area. Parents must have a duty to put their offspring's names down, and failing that, could be fined. This is because they cannot neglect and reject the rights of their young people who are eligible to vote, whether they want to or not.

Conclusion on the renewal of Trident


The results of the votes for renewal of Trident was evident after some MPs gave anti -russia rhetoric speeches. That it was obvious there was paranoia in the House of Commons with statements about the threats made by Hitler and the former communist parties in the past.

There is still the cold war mentality which makes some MPs want to be safe and secure, so that they have ended up voting for themselves instead of, for the people.

We have put the past behind us, and we know that history cannot repeat itself, as we have learnt the gross horrors of war, and having lost millions of lives in World War I and World War II.

Trident was created at the start of the cold war because of United States hegemonies, and is famous for creating conflicts and wars around the world. Russia can only put up defence and compete with United States in increasing arms. Times have changed, United Nations have changed.

We have made improvements in creating better relationships between countries, and they will continue to improve further. There is no real danger from Russia, and Russia is one of the main guarantees of international stability as well as nuclear and strategic security. Russia very actively participates in the process of nuclear non-proliferation.

Portraying Russia as a threat is so very wrong, as they are committed to deal with challenges such as the fight against terrorism. We need international cooperation to deal with challenges to insure that we have stability and security around the world.

We never can be complacent and put our country in great danger, but Trident is not the answer as we cannot use nuclear, and never can use nuclear.

Making nuclear and transporting nuclear around our country is the greatest threat than Trident, as accidents can happen, or if terrorists gets hold of them.

Renewal of Trident is effectively boosting the arms race, we can do without. And it is bad enough to know that NATO have got nuclear weapons, any madman could get hold of them.

It is not acceptable that UK lawmakers voted overwhelmingly for Trident voting for themselves, and we demand a referendum so the people can vote for or against Trident.

It is unacceptable of Theresa May to say she is ready to press the red nuclear button, as that is so cruel and thoughtless. These weapons of mass destruction would cause the deaths of more millions of lives.

Millions of deaths will not deter the arms race, and would boost the arms race. Trident cannot deter, as it is a useless piece of metal, and cannot even be seen under the water.

Russia, along with the US, is part of a Treaty for Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (START), signed in 2010 between US President Barack Obama and then-Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev. The treaty expires in 2021.

We can do more, if more countries got together for Non-Proliferation Treaty.

There is no military solution, only a political one.

United Kingdom was never threatened or attacked in any way. That is because it is a peaceful country, and does not want to have war with any country.

This is because people and trade are the most important to protect, and the presence of Trident will only make things worse for a leading country.

Believe me and trust me, countries would not feel so much at edge if there was no renewal of Trident.

People would feel at ease getting on with their lives if there was no Trident, and that we are not threatening any country or nation with the presence of Trident.

We do have a very strong case against the renewal of Trident.

It is very effective to use our conventional forces to deal with challenges such as threat from terrorism as well as cyber attack etc in our country.

It is time we do set an example for United Kingdom to lead, and help the world to be more nuclear free.

We would worry all the time, thinking any mad insecure Prime Minister could press the red nuclear button.
