The NHS is too big, a monolith of huge proportions. Staff have become lazy through lack of control, as happened in all previous state run organisations. Steel, Coal, Education, Transport, were all inflicted with the same malaise. Even after privatisation it was the same staff with the same attitudes that spoiled the industries. Now we see greed rearing its ugly head again in those industries with staff numbers large enough to put pressure on an already stretched economy. How strange that these industries are the ones that are, or once were, privatised. The answer is simple.

Someone or entity or government or the justice system should force Uber eats and Co should be forced into paying £15 an hour or per delivery period.

What labour say on their website sound great but we need a New Labour Party who's really connected with the workers because what is written on their site is what supposed to be but we see none of it. "The Labour Party was formed out of the trade union movement to give working people their own political voice. The link from the workplace to the party through the affiliated trade unions is what makes it unique to this day. This link is more important than ever as we work together to tackle the urgent problems we face as a country, from stagnating wages to failing public services. Labour Unions is the umbrella organisation that coordinates the activities of the 11 trade unions who affiliate to the Labour Party."

The state need to seize control. Railways are a confusing mix of private and public sector where both can dodge responsibility. NATIONALIZE and the trains will run on time. As Germany and Italy enjoyed.

Commercial sex zones have developed around U.S. bases worldwide. Many look much the same, filled with liquor stores, fast-food outlets, tattoo parlors, bars and clubs, and prostitution in one form or another. The evidence is just outside the gates in places such as Baumholder and Kaiserslautern in Germany, and Kadena and Kin Town on Okinawa. Even during the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, there have been multiple reports of brothels and sex trafficking involving U.S. troops and contractors.

Dave Ward is only interested in appearing on T.V. and Post Office picket lines to make himself look good. I worked at the Bootle Santander site [known locally as The Giro] for 37years. Dave Ward and the C.W.U. did nothing to save our jobs. He couldn't be bothered to come up to Bootle and fight for our jobs Santander were allowed to outsource jobs to contractors. My own department TUPE transferred 5 times. The Paragon workers in Bootle were badly let down by Dave Ward and his cohorts. Who were content to see work sent to Sunderland and Dagenham sites. The rest of it sent to India and Milton Keynes. They were quite content to take our £15 a month union subs, but the support the Bootle staff got was lamentable.
