The NHS and those changes. Just a snippet. 29.1.2011.

XXXXXXXXX AP

How much do you estimate it is going to cost to make all the changes to our National Health Service to meet up with the European Union's desires? If this Country came out of the EU we could make changes when we can afford it and to the way we really want our NHS to be, not as others outside the UK want it to be.

I have the whole speech of David Byrne who WAS EU Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection made in Brussels 15 July 2004, title “Enabling Good Health for all, The future of health in Europe”. Here is a snippet.

"A future strategy for good health. We have made great progress in EU public health policy in recent years. But there is still a long way to go. Europe needs a strategy to guide EU action for good health in the medium term. The only way to achieve good health for all is to put health where it belongs – at the centre of EU policy-making. Let me explain what I mean. I mean positioning good health as a key driver of economic growth and fostering long-term investment in health. I mean bridging the health gap and tackling inequalities to ensure that good health is possible for each and every citizen in every city, region and country across the EU. I mean working harder to ensure that all EU policies are good for health. And that good health becomes an EU strategic goal built into all policies from agriculture to environment, from transport to trade. I mean building capacity to protect citizens against health threats, from pandemics to bioterrorism to HIV/AIDS." End of Quote.

And now, since Lisbon-I suggest you get your own MP to tell you exactly why they are changing-and not for the better- your National Health Service. When I read these words from an eminent Dr, and from a Professor what do you think? "The bottom line of this is the abolition of the NHS". "It will remove the Government's duty to provide a universal healthcare service". "Believes it will lead to full Privatisation".

Well now, and what has your MP said on what the changes are all about? I have an article I did re NHS in 2006 will send if you wish, “Our Health Service in Hock” for many Years to come and for future generations to pay off. 26.8.2006. And I also have more up to date bits.

"Decentralisation and Localism Bill". Just a snippet.

XXXXXXXXXAP

This Government has recently brought out a new "Decentralisation and Localism Bill". This Bill is designed to bring Governance right down to the very doorstep of the people. Yes, as close as that, the people are going to be able to have their say, their say and ever more say-but who will be listening to them? Ah, now that would be telling.

Billions of British pounds are going to be spent on this Project, but in all the alleged 405 pages, 208 clauses and 24 Schedules of the Bill, I didn't read one word of it coming from the European Union. Now isn't that GREAT?

But it comes indeed from the Treaty of Lisbon that the Labour Government ratified. A Treaty that the people would have rejected if they had been given a chance, but for now, it is the Committee of the Regions that has at last "come into its own". To bring the EU closer to “its” citizens. The fact that we cannot understand what foreigners are talking about most of the time has not yet registered with our MP’s.

This is yet another layer of EU Governance which our own Government estimates it will require around £200-£250billion for. Is this what WE are paying higher taxes for? Is this why we are having vast vicious CUTS after CUTS after CUTS saving money from us, to pay for THIS?

I am sure you are already aware that this is all for the "long term”. Forget "No Parliament may bind" because we are looking at 2050 now and in one EU paper I have read, planning as far as 2100, so is that long term enough to destroy our long standing Common Law Constitution that so many died fighting to keep for us all? According to R v Thistlewood 1820, “To destroy the Constitution is Treason”.

Although some people rejected elected Mayors a couple of years ago, it rather looks as if we are going to have, until we can elect one "a pretendelected Mayor” until you and me can "do it properly" by voting a “yes” for them.

It has, as I am sure you know, been suggested that English Councils will contribute to EU fines imposed upon the UK Government, so I guess as long as we remain in the EU, those EU fines will come our way thick and fast.

If this Localism Bill becomes LAW here in the UK-as it will if we remain in the EU, I suggest the one layer of Governance we can do without to compensate for this proposed extra layer, is in The Houses of Parliament, for certainly no one in there seems to want to actually make all our laws according to our Common law Constitution and they obviously do not want the responsibility either, though it rather looks as if they still want our votes to get there and they want the money and the vast expense, but want foreigners to do the work.

Student Protests on the Streets of London. Just a snippet. 29.1.2011. I ask you, “What do YOU think”? Anne Palmer

In an effort to prevent further English Student Protests on the Streets of London, I question why English Students are being deliberately discriminated against by our Government when they should be encouraging our youths to go on to further their education and work for Degrees on their chosen subject.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is one Country as far the EU is concerned and Treaties are ratified to that effect. Why then, under the laws of the United Kingdom and EU are University Fees discriminatory one to the other within the United Kingdom? Each of the four parts, Nations of and/or Countries, were as one for the purpose of ratification of the then European Economic Community Treaty of Rome in 1972, and is still classed as one whole in the European Union of 2011 yet one Country within that Union is discriminated against?

As far as the EU is concerned Scotland is a REGION of the EU, as is Wales and Northern Ireland, England remains as one although it might have been 9 separate EU Regions. I am now looking at the Laws regarding Discrimination of Nationality and also Non-discrimination and equal opportunities for all in the EU, and I mustn't forget the new "Equality Act " either.

(ECHR= The Protocol entered into force on 1 April 2005 and has (As of July 2009^[update]) been ratified by 17 member states. Several member states — namely Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Lithuania, Malta, Monaco, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom Have not signed the protocol. The United Kingdom Government has declined to sign Protocol 12 on the basis that they believe the wording of protocol is too wide and would result in a flood of new cases testing the extent of the new provision.

Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and ENGLAND are all Nations and Countries in their own RIGHT. Is it discrimination re nationality to charge different rates for different Nationalities/Countries? I am aware that UK Ministers say the current position is particularly unfair because the EU rules do not apply within states”. There seems to be nothing though to stop a sovereign Government from making sure the English students have exactly the same financial equality (advantage) as the other nations and country’s in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Students from other EU nations must be treated the same as students within the nation. But, due to the principle of subsidiarity, terms and conditions may vary within a member state. That is why students from England at Scottish universities can be treated differently to students from, say, France. Perhaps or unless of course the Welsh University is strictly/exclusively for those that live or born in Wales, ditto Scotland which I doubt would be allowed. However, as the Laws of the UK are supposed to be “fair” for all and I am sure that our Government would want English students to enjoythe same conditions as those from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, perhaps it is time to change the law once again?

Proof re Scotland as a nation, (from EU Web) “As cultural communities, Catalonia and Scotland are conventionally and more accurately identified as nations, rather than regions. The term ‘region’ is used here partly for the sake of brevity and consistency, partly in the governmental sense elaborated earlier in the paper, and partly in recognition of the fact that as territorial units they do not (yet) have independent statehood. There is no intention to cast doubt on their respective claims to nationhood”.

Roads, Rail, Sea and Air. 29.1.2011.

Saying Goodbye to the Wrexham and Shropshire Railway 28 1 2011. The last Wrexham & Shropshire train to run on Friday after Deutsche Bahn pulls the plug.

The failure of W&S follows the collapse of the National Express East Coast franchise, which was handed back to the government in 2009 after National Express admitted it could no longer afford the £1.4bn contract for the London-to-Edinburgh route. (Guardian

Deutsche Bahn pulls the plug. YUP! Deutsche Bahn pulls the plug. A government that obviously can do nothing at all about it even though it is on British soil. A service that only ran for three years. A Government that obviously cannot make sure a railway service is continued to run for the people of Britain, yet Government can afford to build the EU’s High Speed Rail because it is of course coming off the planning board of the European Union. But that of course is all part of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) Policy that takes in "sovereignty" over our roads, rail, air-space-For the EU's Single European Sky, then there is the EU's "Motorway in the sea-yes all the way down to the Falklands, and what about the 12 mile limit? What is the suggested EU rule over our ports all about? What does the EU want sovereignty over our Ports for? EU control over our PORTS kind of gives the impression that our 12 mile limit is in danger. Do tell us if that remains with US-the United Kingdom or will it become part of the EU? Will the English Channel be just as a rather large river in the State of European Union? I doubt the Dockers will go a bundle on THAT! Will it still be ours or will World Maps eventually have to be changed? Will there be anything left soon for our pretendy Government to do?

Exactly whose Railway will it be when the British people through their taxes have paid for the EU’s Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) Policy? British or the European Union’s?
