Oh what a tangled web......

Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practise to deceive. This statement may apply today to many of the so called great and good within our society. We have a prime minister who is pushing through enormous changes to the NHS against many of the people who work in it. Why? We have Andrew Lansley pushing through the agenda as Secretary of State for Health  whilst in opposition accepted £21,000 from John Nash  the chairman of private healthcare provider Care UK and founder of the private equity fund Sovereign Capital which owns several other private healthcare companies. Sally Low his wife has a PR consultancy  that has had dealings with food and drug companies She denies that she or her company has any dealings with the health sector? Then we have a high court judge called Cherie Blair who's company Mee Healthcare is trying to raise  £65 million for a chain of private clinics. This doesn't happen unless you are damn sure that you are going to get something from the NHS reforms.Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham  was moved to ask the Cabinet secretary to investigate another company called McKinsey. But since then he and his colleagues  have been silent because as one Labour source confirmed that they are to aware that when in power Labour also made heavy and extremely expensive use of McKinsey. It would seem that the proposed governments Health and Social Care Bill may be having trouble getting through parliament with over 1000 amendments to it but at the end of the day no matter who  the opponents of it are, there are it would seem to many well placed people from  all parties who are going to come out of it financially richer by millions of pounds and all at the tax payers expense and to the detriment of the patients. Because these companies sole aim is to make money, and if they see trouble they will cut costs to the detriment of the customer ie. the patients, and front line  staff. The trouble is that these healthcare companies are companies within companies and the owners are some times  as elusive in hiding their true identities whilst saying that these changes are long over due and it is for the good of the public and NHS, whilst the truth is it is for their financial benefits.  So Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practise to deceive. is a lot truer in more ways than one. So who can the public trust in power when it seems that these elected politicians, are literally all pissing in the same collective pot.
