Events: Defend London’s NHS week of action 9 – 16 February

January 31, 2013

From Keep Our NHS Public

Action to defend the NHS is urgent. At least 10 hospitals in London have casualty and maternity departments threatened with closure. Now they want to sell off half of the Whittington hospital, and even more NHS privatisation is planned.

On Saturday 26 Janurary, 25,000 people marched in Lewisham alone. It is time for us to take to the streets everywhere until we force the government to back down. Support these actions:

BROKEN BRITAIN UNDER TORIES – MP’S JOKE ABOUT ATOS
All MP’S including ministers let their guard down yesterday in the House of Commons .At Prime Ministers Question Time Labour’s MP Michael McCann stood up and asked “does the Prime Minister think that ATOS will find Richard 111 fit for work” .Referring to his skeleton being unearthed recently Considering that ATOS are responsible for over 10,000 deaths it was totally in poor taste ,but it gave you an unguarded insight into what the Government and Opposition really think of the General Publics concerns and misgivings over Welfare Reform – they both don’t Care !
Watch the Video and make your own mind up whether raucous laughter from both sides of the House showed any understanding or compassion to the plight of us the General Public through there ill thought out Policies . http://www.brokenbritainundertories.com

You’re playing a game you have to play to win. You all,individually, need to write to your own MP with reasons why the NHS must stay – bombard the MP’s and maximise paperwork on this – they hate time being taken from them thanks – use writetothem.com – be solution focused, be active – the bosses are taking hard core drugs.
