Holding people to account

The former head of UK Intelligence is apparently threatening to blow the whistle on Blair's lies on WMD.

I can hardly wait.

Closer to home my own little complaint about being treated without respect by Age UK Oxfordshire continues to be treated without respect or consideration.

I have no option but to write directly to the chair of trustees.

If she ignores me I will talk to a lawyer.

Such a tricksy bastard

Listening to this on the BBC, after a meal out down the street where he lives in Minster Lovell, just outside Witney, where we live, I am struggling to make sense of anything Jack Straw says. He blames Chirac for the Iraq war, saying that peace could have been kept with a second resolution .........

WHAT?

and that he almost resigned and stopped the UK going to war earlier on.

WHY

if he was working to get UN resolutions against Iraq.

He has come over as really slimy ever since he was head of the student's union when I was at university

the whole interview based on his autobiography  comes out as really confusing.

Straw the anti-war hero? the man who nearly stopped the war.....

Piffle.

Why am I even writing this............?

Bushco prosecuted for war crimes too

Take  a look.

I heard this happened a while back, but this could be new!?

Stop the Blair

It seems the stop the war group are now keen to encourage people to try a citizen's arest on Tony Blair.

Looking at this web page on the nature of Crimes against peace as set out in the Nurenburg convention it really is pretty clear that Blair has a case to answer along with Bushco.

When the world is run by accountants no one is held to account

Bankers slink off with their bonuses. No one is sent to jail for their criminal misdeeds

Now the doctors , nurses and managers of the health service leave their patients to die

and no one is charged with a crime. The senior managers slip away with their pay offs.

We have a lengthy report.

We have a new inspector.

But what we need is a new culture.

No: we need the old one back. People came together out of a desire to provide a caring service to all of us, when the NHS was founded not long before I was born.

The NHS that I worked for in the 80's had lost all that, and today it is much worse.

We have a culture of box ticking. Tick the box to say you did it and everyone will be happy, except the patient. You are forbidden to admit that you did not do your job right.


Everything is audited, then audited, then inspected, everything except the reality of care.

So it is that in a large hospital the patients can be neglected and abused and left to die for years, and the perpetrators are immune from detection and punishment.

The audits were OK. The bean counters had counted beans.

And because the boxes were ticked no one is held accountable.

What we need is not another level of inspection.

We need old fashioned values back; honesty, compassion, service, dedication.

There are two fundamental forces in our human world my friends. They are love (Eros) and the will to power (Thanatos).

The NHS was founded on love. It has been taken over by the will to power.
