What might that be?
Which of the 57 varieties was Arthur then?
Commie? Trot? Stickie?
Judge Arthur by behaviour and deed, not by the badge or the claim.
He was so far to the left he fell off the end into oblivion, and took the NUM with him.
Why no ballot then Daisy? You sound just like Kinnock.
Would it have been too democratic for Scargill? Would he have won it?
None of that would have been necessary if the British mining industry had not been decimated and we had an integrated energy policy of the sort proposed by the Socialist Labour Party.
How that must stick in the craw.
Nuclear is the future in energy there Daisy, not your coal. No mention of Global Warming there Daisy. That's unusual for a leftist. How does your coal-digging fit into that?
Windscale, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl - good reasons for not having Nuclear power. It's also reckoned that nuclear fuel sources have even less time to they're exhausted than gas or oil (around 30 or 40 years). Nuclear's also inefficient and uneconomic. And the waste is deadly for 10k + years.
Clean coal technology and carbon capture makes coal environmentally viable too.
As oil gets more expensive, there is a future for coal, and these islands are blessed with reserves. But watch this space Daisy, the moment the nation gets remotely dependent on it, some latter-day trot will attempt to become leader of the miners' union, with revolution in mind. No people-serving government is ever going to risk becoming dependent on it again.
Its action : reaction. If coal can be used to change governments, then coal will be sidelined.
"Hospitals 'infested with vermin'"
"The cleanliness of most NHS hospitals in England is threatened by frequent invasions of rats, fleas, bedbugs, flies and cockroaches, claims a report."
SLP are spot on. The NHS is not properly financed and the above is as a result of services being "contracted out" which is another way of saying privatisation.
Healthcare not warfare.
They cost less to run too.
Why is it that every problem in the NHS is the result of being "not properly financed"?
Spending on the NHS has increased year-on-year, but how much of it is getting to the front line? This year alone, every citizen of this nation will spend about £1200 on the NHS, that's more than £5000 per family of 4.5 citizens.
Is more money the answer?
What's currently happening to our NHS was seen in the country's council housing, it was managed into decline then privatised and abolished in most cities and regions.
The answer is to keep the private sector out of the NHS, as proposed in Wales and Scotland.
Destroying public services for political purposes requires them to be taken apart piece by piece. Dirty wards make the NHS seem inferior to private hospitals. As I said it's part of a purposely managed decline.
The documentary "SICKO" provides the best understanding of public and private healthcare provision.
How many of the private hospital staff were trained by the private sector? Very little I'd guess. They leech off the public sector. How many of their consultants are moonlighting from the NHS? Get rid of the Trident nuclear system and give the savings to the NHS.
The NHS is socialism in action.
Will you appeal to the dictator's better nature?
Will you appeal to the UN for help, yes, the same UK that is still talking about Darfour?
What will you do then?
Nuclear weapons are no defence. They cannot be used in the type of scenario you suggest without destroying the world. Apart from that they are illegal and immoral WMD. And the huge majority of the countries in the world today do not possess nuclear weapons - do you propose that they should? It's the logical outcome of your argument.
Are those the words you will use to the dictator with the finger on the button?
I hope you can persuade him with that sort of content, and you will have to win the debate rather quickly.
I doubt it though. I really doubt it.
Put this drivel before the British people and it will get slaughtered, just like it did in the suicide note of 1983.
