Man in a Shed: I'm sure Labour never willed the mid Staffs hopistal massacre

I'm sure Labour never willed the mid Staffs hopistal massacre - but they are responsible for it

A few days ago we had the report on the man slaughter by neglect of hundreds of patients at the Mid Staffs NHS Hospital.

It blamed managers obsessed by targets.

It didn't blame the government, who set and are also obsessed with targets, but it should have. ( Indeed the true nasty nature of Labour can be seen by their legal guarantee ploy of super targets set up just to bludgeon votes by bulling voters over their fears. )

The fault lies with the top down socialist dictatorship approach to running a massive organisation like the NHS.

By failing to recognise this Labour are condemning the same fate to many other unfortunate people. But then if Labour cared they would pay attention to the results of their policies, rather than just how the announcements sound with focus groups.

Funny how he's resisting any sort of inquiry isn't it.; 3:43 pm

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
