phart Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Another example of who really holds their allegiance. Tory health minister deliberately blocks law to give NHS cheap drugs when patents expireAlistair Burt denied accusations that the parliamentary manoeuvre was 'disgraceful' "Mr Burt deliberately used up the bill’s time by speaking at length for 27 minutes, despite heckles and jeering from Labour, SNP, and Conservative benches." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tory-health-minister-blocks-law-to-give-the-nhs-cheap-drugs-whose-patents-have-expired-a6724526.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 No sensible government would seek to resist people's access to drugs in any way and the reason for resisting is the government believes there is another pathway." Not too difficult to guess what the other pathway is and in whose benefit it really is. "Sensible government" - an oxymoron if ever there was one. Give me a break. Yet another example, albeit a relatively minor one in the global context, of the wretchedness which predominates. The thing that one should never forget or underestimate, not ever, is that these smarmy sociopathic sharks completely and absolutely do not give monkeys about their fellow humans. No empathy. No compassion. Genuinely not a shred of 'humanity'. It may be there is a need to revise the meaning of this word given the dominant form currently being expressed around the world.

Let's hope it's never one of your children or another family member or friends who misses out on treatment because your local NHS Trust can't afford the right drug therapy. http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/feb/19/nhs-buys-expensive-new-drugs-nice-york-karl-claxton-nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
