The BBC Cancer Week News Special is once again perpetrating the lie that the provision of NHS medication across the UK is equal.
Alfie over at Waking Hereward has been monitoring the situation:
Today’s effort was from a special medical reporter broadcasting from a French hospital. Obviously, the French standard of cancer healthcare makes our efforts look feeble indeed. After interviewing lots of recovering patients, the hack donned his gravely concerned furrowed brow and informed a shocked UK audience that "Avastin, whilst available free to everyone in France is not available to any NHS patients in the UK because NICE have not approved it." Sorry ace medical reporter, but last time I looked, Scotland was part of the UK – I also believe they do actually have NHS patients…… and they are certainly receiving Avastin free of charge…

The BBC Lies To Cover Up Health Apartheid In The UK...
The BBC, the government's greatest media ally and spreader of misinformation, has been at it again - ignoring health apartheid in the UK and trying to make out that we're all in the same boat when it comes to medical provision - see this story.
Meanwhile, the Times reports another cancer drug approved for Scotland only - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/health/article1760242.ece
The BBC is a morally bankrupt organisation, dedicated to lies and attempts at brainwashing viewers and listeners in England into remaining accepting and quiescent as the UK Government turns the people of England into second class citizens. You have to pay for the BBC, whether you watch or listen or not, so they don't have to give a damn about you or truth.
When England gains a parliament and the voices of the people are heard, the BBC MUST be cleaned up and made good again - or scrapped.

"Seven Sins Of England" - Channel 4 has the Anti-English Knife Out Again...
Tony Blair wants to stem the tide of beer, sick and blood and take us back to a golden age of civility and good-manners. But history contradicts him. The first law to control English binge-drinking was passed in 616 AD ... the English have been violent, binge-drinking hooligans for more than a thousand years.
Channel Four last night screened a programme called "Seven Sins of England" and the text at the top of this post is from their website - http://www.channel4.com/culture/microsites/S/seven_sins/index.html
I would be loath to generalise about any nationality in the way Channel Four does about the English and surely in 616 there wasn't an England or an English?
I have Scots relatives and the majority can drink and brawl like nobodies business, but I wouldn't dream of saying that all Scots were the same.
Of course, times have changed since Channel Four's launch as a brave, new "alternative" TV station in 1982. The advent of satellite has meant that this minority interest channel has had to find a lucrative niche for itself by showing life-enhancing programmes like "Big Brother" and indulging anti-English racists and politically correct bigots.
I didn't see the show last night, but it is Channel Four's second attack on the English in a matter of weeks, following on from "Face of Britain", which dealt with the horrific fact that some Celtic DNA is "Sullied" by Anglo Saxon and other things pertinent to Nazi-style race and territorial rights theories.
When Channel Four first appeared on my radar as an anti-English channel with shows like "100% English", I thought it was a passing phase. But the channel is getting more and more into its stride on the theme. I now picture the controller of Channel Four (if there is such a thing) as a pathological hater of the English, frothing at the mouth and taking every opportunity to slate them - when he/she is not watching "Big Brother", that is.
In these multi-channel days, there's so much more to choose from, but, as one who remembers Channel Four's launch and the promise it held, I cannot help feeling a little sad that it's ended up like this.
Thanks to Julian McKechnie for telling me about this programme and website.
Unless something really drastic happens, I shan't be writing about Channel Four here again.
I don't want to be associated with the station in any way, shape or form.
UPDATE

Come on, Chris, Channel Four showed "Countdown" and "Brookside" on its opening night in 1982! It may not have always been rabidly anti-English and Nazi-esque, but it's always been a crap TV channel. And it's gone downhill immeasurably since its debute. Why take it so seriously?

After The Elections - Who Cares About England?
When you're struggling to make ends meet and paying prescription charges in England, knowing that millionaires don't pay them in Wales...
When you're facing the fact that your children must pay university top-up fees in England - thanks to MPs from other "UK" nations...
When you're sick of health apartheid, the democratic deficit, the Barnett Formula and the Scottish Raj ruling England...
Doesn't it make you tired to read stuff like this - http://paullinford.blogspot.com/2007/05/ming-must-go-and-salmond-must-be.html from caring sharing Paul Linford ("After leaving Westminster in 2004 in search of a better quality of village life, I now live in glorious Derbyshire with my wife Gill and son George") who is still dreadfully concerned about the injustices wrought by Thatcherism on the disadvantaged in the 1980s, but apparently feels minimal concern for the injustices heaped upon the disadvantaged in England in the 21st Century.
Why are the Scots and the Union so BLOODY IMPORTANT?

Sylv from Salford...
Mr Linford is pretty typical: pay lip service to the concept of an English Parliament occasionally (hedging your bets, just in case), scapegoat the 1980s as the cause of all modern evils, ignore the fact that New Labour has done things that would not have been DREAMT OF back then, and that the party now bears no resemblance to Old Labour, and think yourself a pretty swell guy/guyess.
It's the way things are.
And these times are not changing.

The Speaker Bans Justice For England March...
UPDATE
I'm fascinated at the way this blogger dubs me "right wing" for simply wanting equality for the people of England - http://chrispaul-labouroflove.blogspot.com/2007/05/update-justice-for-england-march-is.html
-
Me, - that used to vote Old Labour and was fully supportive of Red Wedge back in the 1980s!
-
Me, that finds New Labour far too Old Tory!
-
Me, that once chucked an egg at Thatcher (Aberdeen, 1982!).
-
Me, that spits on the BNP!
-
Me, that cheerfully owns up to mongrel roots (English and Scots with a dash of German to my certain knowledge), but still claims the right to an English civic identity and the right for the people of England to be treated on a par with those in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
-
Good Gawd, I ain't perfect, but I certainly cannot logically be called "right wing"!
-
Just how pathetic and illogical are these people who believe that this regime of health apartheid and democratic deficit levelled at England is to be commended and should continue unchallenged?
-
Laugh? I nearly bought a round!
-
But not quite.

ORIGINAL POST
Iain Dale brings the startling news that the Speaker of the House of Commons has banned the Justice For England March from passing our seat of national government - http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2007/04/speaker-changes-route-of-justice-for.html.
-
This concerns me greatly. The Speaker, Michael Martin, is, of course, a Scot, and this will do the Scottish image no good at all. Accusations of anti-English racism and screeches of "Scottish Raj!!" will be heard. But it is also another example of the Government refusing to recognise or legitimise the national identity and interests of England.
-
The people of England are fed up with the democratic deficit levelled at them. They are sick at what appears to be a racist elite dictating to them from the so-called "nations" of the UK.
-
The actions of the Speaker are another nail in the coffin of the UK.
-
Whilst people can die or go blind in England for want of medication available on the NHS in Scotland...
-
Whilst the people of England scrimp and save for prescription charges...
-
Whilst you can be a millionaire in Wales and not pay a penny...
-
Whilst MPs from Scotland and Wales dictate legislation for England...
-
Whilst England continues to subsidise Scotland and Wales...
-
Scots and Welsh MPs continue to behave in an incredibly arrogant and unfair way, aided and abetted by English MPs, including Jack Straw, who absolutely refuse to do the right thing for their constituents.
-
If you are attending the march tomorrow, the very best of luck. English, not British. The British thing, already tainted with the stain of imperialism, is now also tarnished with the most disgraceful system of devolution, which dictates to and discriminates against the people of England at every opportunity.
-
RIP, Britain.
-
Welcome back to England, Wales and Scotland.
