How To Lie Like A Tory.

Andrew Mitchell looked his leader in the eye today and vowed that he did not use the word "plebs" when he decided to insult a policeman guarding Downing Street. Now David Cameron certainly knows a liar when he sees one - after all he has to do is look at any member of his cabinet - and he's no slouch himself when it comes to telling porkies. Remember "The NHS is safe in our hands"? Well this week has certainly underlined to extent to which the PM and his Tory henchmen are willing to perpetrate massive confidence tricks in order to steal national assets to flog to their rich pals at bargain basement prices. Since the general election the Tories, with the LibDems standing by and doing nothing about it, have managed to reduce the number of nurses working in our hospitals by 6,000. At the same time they've also managed to appoint over 50 new "managers" earning above £150,000 a year to oversee the wholesale privatisation of the NHS. The pattern of hospital closures, which the Tories defend as a "rationalisation" of healthcare, clearly indicates how privatisation will proceed, while those that cannot be closed under cover of this lie are being driven into bankruptcy. And all this is going on at a time when the NHS is actually carrying a "surplus" of £1.6 billion. This is money that is deliberately not being spent on patient care and is, effectively, blood money. The question arises as to who will benefit from these "surpluses"? The answer is those private companies circling the dying NHS like sharks - the private companies who will use the money to fund their takeover of publicly owned assets and pay themselves juicy bonuses for what is no better than grand larcency. Not only are they stealing the NHS, they will use taxpayers money to do so. That is how safe the NHS is in Tory hands.
