It’s an embarrassment of riches picking examples Cameron’s dishonesty and fraudulent behaviour regarding his government’s attack on the NHS, for example just today-

Prime Minister David Cameron has said he takes “absolute responsibility” for a shake-up of the NHS in England. He said Health Secretary Andrew Lansley was doing “an excellent job” but the government was considering “real changes” to the plans.

Last week a nurses’ union delivered an overwhelming vote of no confidence in Mr Lansley’s management of the plans. The proposals would give control of much of the NHS budget to GPs and encourage private sector competition. The government says it is taking advantage of a natural “pause” in the progress of the Health and Social Care Bill through Parliament to hold a listening exercise with health care groups to improve the plans and build more support behind them.

Mr Cameron denied this was a “PR exercise”, adding: “We are looking at proper and substantive changes because we want to get this right.”

But this ‘pause’ is of course a PR exercise (what do you expect from a former PR executive)-

The government has been accused of “ploughing on regardless” with its restructuring of the health service in England after the head of the NHS told staff to “maintain momentum” for the planned changes during the listening exercise being undertaken by ministers. The timescale for implementing key parts of the health and social care bill, including handing over commissioning powers to GP groups from April 2013, remains the same despite the “pause” in the legislation going through parliament, according to David Nicholson, the chief executive of the NHS. His message in a letter to colleagues will fuel concerns that the government’s promise to take on board ways it might “improve” its plans during a “natural break” is little more than cosmetic.

However the really big lie remains this-

2007  January:- He said there had been nine reorganisations in the last nine years and, therefore, he would work with the structure of primary care trusts and strategic health authorities he inherited.

“No more pointless reorganisations. No more restructuring at the expense of the people who work in the system.“

And more than that, he is now taking full responsibility for the attack on the NHS and says-

As Conservative leader, he had been involved in drawing up the blueprint for the NHS for some time, he said: “I’ve been involved in designing these changes way back into opposition with Andrew Lansley. I take absolute responsibility with him for all of the changes we are making.”

So apart from rather academic arguments of when did he begin this work and was it before his speech in 2007 thus lying to nurses faces, it nevertheless remains that him and his party have confirmed publicly and repeatedly they are not to be trusted on the NHS.

PS. But its worse than that, as expertly made clear in The Plot Against the NHS, by Colin Leys and Stewart Player the privatisation of the NHS could not be at the advanced stage it is now without New Labour’s attacks on the NHS throughout their term in power. The actual problem remains three main parties whose leadership do not deviate significantly from NeolIberal orthodoxy. Should we remove the coalition what signs are there Labour have rejected a corporate friendly privatisation agenda, because if there have been big obvious signs, it seem I have fucking missed them. We shouldn’t kid ourselves what the real state of affairs is- can we ensure the survival of the social democratic nature of British society as exemplified by the post World War 2 health and welfare services in the face of a global assault by politician and corporations working to a for profit mandate. It appears to me none of the people at the levers of power are offering anything but further for profit motivated disintegration of human society. Which again seems to me to be pathological, in the face of hard evidence their system does not work they nevertheless continue to implement it, as such the normal manner of opposition that in part relies on reasoned discourse is of no use. The actions, demonstrations and protests must continue and grow and somewhere along the way a political grouping and retaking of the Labour party to provide an actual democratic alternative to the failed orthodoxy will be essential (and Blue Labout ain’t nothing but wrapping more neoliberal shite in BNP lite paper, though Lisa Ansell says it better). Massive inequality ensures those making the decisions are not affected by the consequences of their actions, that is the reality for all the big party leaderships and many MP’s, it is an abject subversion of democracy that will only create an authoritarian state presiding over an indebted serf class. All eyes should be on Greece to see if they can successfully overthrow their ruling classes (and global finance’s)  plans in this direction. And on Iceland to see if they can continue to derail the plot against democracy there. As for Ireland, just look who is cleaning up in the aftermath-

Taylor is not a novice in the property business: he owns three properties in Ireland – all in negative equity – and four in London, which are not. “I think this will help establish the floor and get the market going again,” he said.

The rich are implementing disaster capitalism and getting richer. We have tolerated this and our children have been next.
