Conservatives win big in Great Brittan...

Labour was stomped...unexpectedly....

Via FOX News:

British Prime Minister David Cameron and his Tory party scored a decisive victory over the opposing Labour Party, left far-left and far-right parties in the dust and defied pre-election polls  with a resounding election triumph he called "the sweetest victory of all."
Aided by the Scottish National Party's rout of Labour in Scotland, Cameron and the Tories left opponents on the right and left in tatters. The Labour Party lost 24 seats in Parliament according to early returns, and party leader Ed Miliband resigned from his role. Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg resigned after acknowledging a "cruel and punishing defeat," in which his left-of-center part suffered its worst-ever defeat - dropping from 57 seats to just 8. On the right, UK Independence Party Leader Nigel Farage, a thorn in Cameron's side, failed to win a seat and resigned as party leader.

Socialized Medicine Update: Allegations of children illegally euthanized in Great Britain...

This is the medical system Obamacare supporters really wanted...
British doctors have secretly killed terminally sick children by giving them 'huge' overdoses of painkillers, it was claimed yesterday.
Hours after Belgium became the first country in the world to allow the euthanasia of children, a retired GP suggested it was already happening, informally, in Britain.
Dr Michael Irwin told an LBC Radio debate: 'It has happened in this country, very quietly. I know of one or two children over the last few years.'
He added: 'It has been done under the pretext of what we call Double Effect where the child has been given huge doses of painkillers and so on, in order to relieve discomfort, pain and other symptoms.'
Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, last night vowed to investigate but said he was not aware of specific cases.

Socialized Health Fail: Forty-three hospital patients starved to death last year and 111 died of thirst in Great Britain

Do you really want to implement Obamacare and move us closer to this type of system?

Via The Telegraph:

Forty-three hospital patients starved to death last year and 111 died of thirst while being treated on wards, new figures disclose today. 

The death toll was disclosed by the Government amid mounting concern over the dignity of patients on NHS wards.
They will also fuel concerns about care homes, as it was disclosed that eight people starved to death and 21 people died of thirst while in care.
Last night there were warnings that they must prompt action by the NHS and care home regulators to prevent further deaths among patients.

Christians at London's Heathrow Airport complain about Muslim harassment; get fired




Islam is taking over Europe at an increasing rate. Some major European cites are now 20% or more Muslim. They have attained a kind of super-minority status.
(Telegraph) — A Christian worker has launched a landmark legal action after she lost her job when she blew the whistle on what she says was a campaign of “race hate” by fundmentalist Muslims.

Nohad Halawi, who worked at Heathrow Airport, is suing her former employers for unfair dismissal, claiming that she and other Christian staff at the airport were victims of systematic harassment because of their religion.
She claims that she was told that she would go to Hell for her religion, that Jews were responsible for the September 11th terror attacks, and that a friend was reduced to tears having been bullied for wearing a cross...

“This is supposed to be a Christian country, but the law seems to be on the side of the Muslims.”

A mother of two, she says that she had always got on well with her Muslim colleagues and relations between staff of different faiths had been good in the past, but that the atmosphere became increasingly uncomfortable with a growing number of employees espousing “fundamentalist Islam”.

The Future of Obamacare: Britain Now Rationing Surgery



There is no question Obamcare will cost billions of dollars. Our government is always under pressure to find something to cut. In Britain, they are cutting many forms of surgery.
Hip replacements, cataract surgery and tonsil removal are among operations now being rationed in a bid to save the NHS money.

Two-thirds of health trusts in England are rationing treatments for "non-urgent" conditions as part of the drive to reduce costs in the NHS by £20bn over the next four years. One in three primary-care trusts (PCTs) has expanded the list of procedures it will restrict funding to in the past 12 months.
Examples of the rationing now being used include:

* Hip and knee replacements only being allowed where patients are in severe pain. Overweight patients will be made to lose weight before being considered for an operation.
* Cataract operations being withheld from patients until their sight problems "substantially" affect their ability to work.
* Patients with varicose veins only being operated on if they are suffering "chronic continuous pain", ulceration or bleeding.
* Tonsillectomy (removing tonsils) only to be carried out in children if they have had seven bouts of tonsillitis in the previous year.
* Grommets to improve hearing in children only being inserted in "exceptional circumstances" and after monitoring for six months.
* Funding has also been cut in some areas for IVF treatment on the NHS.

Nanny State Alert: British couple denied the opportunity for foster kids because of Christian moral beliefs

British Union Jack (UK Great Britain) Country Flag: 3x5ft poly

This is coming soon to your neighborhood is you don't vote President Obama and liberal Democrats out of office. They want to mimic European-style socialistic countries and make America more like them.
(Telegraph)- Eunice and Owen Johns are a God-fearing Christian couple, married almost 40 years, who offered a secure and loving family home to foster children aged between five and 10. But they are to be denied the opportunity to do so any longer because they are unwilling to promote a homosexual lifestyle to a child.

Neither Mr nor Mrs Johns has anything against gay people but they are not in favour of sex before marriage, whatever an individual’s orientation. Their views were denounced by Ben Summerskill, of the homosexual pressure group Stonewall, as “old-fashioned”. Yet not that long ago they would have been considered mainstream and they are, in any case, the strongly held religious views of the couple....

...Astonishingly, the High Court suggested that it was not so much their Christian faith as the moral certainties of the Johns that were potentially harmful to children.

Socialized Medicine Alert: Elderly Abused in Britain

The Truth About Obamacare

This is the kind of health care system President Obama and democrats want us to have here in America. Obamacare was the first big step down the road to a European style national health care system.

(The Telegraph) — A study of pensioners who suffered appalling treatment at the hands of doctors and nurses says that half were not given enough to eat or drink.

One family member said the maltreatment amounted to “euthanasia”.

Some were left unwashed or in soiled clothes, while others were forgotten after being sent home or given the wrong medication.

In several cases considered by the Health Service Ombudsman, patients died without loved ones by their sides because of the “casual indifference” of staff and their “bewildering disregard” for people’s needs.

Outrage: Homeowners in Britain Warned They Could Be Sued By Burglars If They Put Wire On Shed Windows


Homeowners in the U.K. have resorted to putting wire on their shed windows to try and stop burglars. The police are warning them they could be sued if the burglars are injured. I guess they should just put a "Welcome Boys, Take What You Want" sign. Britain is long overdue a peaceful revolution.
A spate of thefts in several towns and villages in Kent and Surrey over the past few months led to many householders taking action to protect their property.
Some have been warned by police that using wire mesh to reinforce shed windows was ''dangerous’’ and could lead to criminals claiming compensation if they ''hurt themselves’’.

Anthropogenic Climate Change Skeptics on Rise in Britain

The Hockey Stick Illusion: Climategate and the Corruption of Science (Independent Minds)

The number has almost doubled in four years.
A quarter of Britons are unconvinced that the world is warming following successive freezing winters and a series of scandals over the credibility of climate science.

The figures suggest that a growing proportion of the public do not share the belief of all three major political parties and Whitehall – that climate change is a major and urgent challenge requiring radical and expensive policies.

The survey, carried out by the Office for National Statistics, has plotted levels of acceptance of the theory of man-made global warming since 2006.

In that year it found that 87 per cent of people were at least ‘fairly convinced’ that climate change was happening.

Last year that share had dropped to 75 per cent. Numbers who say they are unconvinced went up from 12 to 23 per cent.

Socialized Medicine Fail: Britain May Have to Ration Flu Vaccine

Barack Obama's Plan to Socialize America and Destroy Capitalism
There is nothing worse than socialized medicine.

The Telegraph reported:
Healthy people buying the flu jab have compounded shortages in the NHS and left those at greatest risk struggling to get the vaccine, claimed Dr Clare Gerada, the chairman of the Royal College of GPs. Pharmacies and GPs are reporting that they have run out as thousands seek protection from the worst winter flu outbreak in a decade.

Dr Gerada said that allowing those who could afford it to buy the jab had upset the “delicate balance” of availability and contributed to shortages, leading to general concern about who should and should not have the vaccine.

Flashback: East Anglia Climate Scientist Predicts Snowfall a Thing of the Past in Britain

















Remember the CRU at East Angelica in Britain? They were at the center of the hacked leaked Climategate emails. CRU researcher Dr David Viner predicted in 2000, snowfall in Britain would be a rare event due to anthropogenic global warming.
However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".

"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.

The effects of snow-free winter in Britain are already becoming apparent. This year, for the first time ever, Hamleys, Britain's biggest toyshop, had no sledges on display in its Regent Street store. "It was a bit of a first," a spokesperson said.
The truth is Britain is facing a second cold and snowy winter in a row.

Britain: Coldest December since records began


But..but..the planet is supposed to be warming up due to anthropogenic CO2 production. Now you know why they changed the name from global warming to climate change to climate disruption.

(MailOnline)-Swathes of Britain skidded to a halt today as the big freeze returned - grounding flights, closing rail links and leaving traffic at a standstill.

And tonight the nation was braced for another 10in of snow and yet more sub-zero temperatures - with no let-up in the bitterly cold weather for at least a month, forecasters have warned.

The Arctic conditions are set to last through the Christmas and New Year bank holidays and beyond and as temperatures plummeted to -10c (14f) the Met Office said this December was ‘almost certain’ to become the coldest since records began in 1910.

This Didn't Take long: Naked Body Scanner Images Of Film Star Printed, Circulated


Critics warned of privacy concerns with the new naked body scanners. The TSA has been caught lying about the capabilities of these new imaging machines. Great Britain has started requiring selected passengers to submit to the new virtual strip search. Everyone was assured their privacy would be protected, but an Indian film star's privacy was compromised by the use of these new scanners in less than a week.

“I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans. You’ve got to see them. It makes you embarrassed – if you’re not well endowed,” said Khan, referring to how the scans produce clear images of a person’s genitals.


If your privacy isn't violated by these new devices, you may die of cancer due to the increase in radiation exposure.

Britain's Socialized Health Care Is Failing Women With Cancer


Great Britain has one of the most socialized health care systems in Europe. How's that working out for British women with cancer? They are dying due to lack of cancer drugs, doctors and rationing.

The Daily Mail reported:
British women are more likely to die from cancer than those in almost every other European country, an alarming report has revealed.

Death rates here are worse than those in Croatia, Russia, Bulgaria and Lithuania.

Why do Democrats want this health care system here?

In Great Britain, the public option is a death sentence for many elderly


In Great Britain, the elderly are being denied treatment and left to die. Read how one woman had to fight to save her mother. Do you really want a system similar to this in America?

From Times Online:
AN 80-year-old grandmother who doctors identified as terminally ill and left to starve to death has recovered after her outraged daughter intervened.

Hazel Fenton, from East Sussex, is alive nine months after medics ruled she had only days to live, withdrew her antibiotics and denied her artificial feeding. The former school matron had been placed on a controversial care plan intended to ease the last days of dying patients.

How is the government run option working out in Great Britain?


The answer is "not very well," if you are an expectant mother trying to have a baby. There are not enough maternity beds and many mothers in labor are being turned away. Some are having their babies in lobbies and public toilets. Is this the change you want America?

The Daily Mail reported:
Thousands of women are having to give birth outside maternity wards because of a lack of midwives and hospital beds.

The lives of mothers and babies are being put at risk as births in locations ranging from lifts to toilets - even a caravan - went up 15 per cent last year to almost 4,000.

Health chiefs admit a lack of maternity beds is partly to blame for the crisis, with hundreds of women in labour being turned away from hospitals because they are full.

Latest figures show that over the past two years there were at least:

* 63 births in ambulances and 608 in transit to hospitals;
* 117 births in A&E departments, four in minor injury units and two in medical assessment areas;
* 115 births on other hospital wards and 36 in other unspecified areas including corridors;
* 399 in parts of maternity units other than labour beds, including postnatal and antenatal wards and reception areas.

Additionally, overstretched maternity units shut their doors to any more women in labour on 553 occasions last year.

Babies were born in offices, lifts, toilets and a caravan, according to the Freedom of Information data for 2007 and 2008 from 117 out of 147 trusts which provide maternity services.

When Government controls health care, gypsies and other minorities get priority


Great Britain has a national health care system similar to what many on the left want for us. Having the government in charge of health care is fraught with dangers. One danger is minority laws may carry over to the health care system. How would you like to go to the back of a long long just because you don't qualify as a minority?

The Telegraph reported:
They should be given longer consultations, and should be seen by GPs when they walk in without an appointment, even if doctors are fully-booked.

The average length of a consultation is five or ten minutes but travellers will be given 20 minutes and allowed to bring relatives into the consulting rooms.

The guidelines have been introduced because, under race laws, gypsies and travellers are defined as minority ethnic groups and the NHS is obliged to consider their special needs and circumstances.

Yet no special treatment is promised for other groups such as those from the Asian sub-continent or Africa, the Daily Mail reported.

The guidance forms part of the Primary Care Service Framework, drawn up by the NHS Primary Care Commissioning - an advisory service for local health trusts - to help all PCTs understand the Department of Health's policy.

Please note this phrase from the article, "and allowed to bring relatives into the consulting rooms." Under government run health care, you may lose this and other rights you take for granted every time you see a health care provider.
