AXA healthcare for sale on Ealing Broadway platform

Before entering the District Lane platform at Ealing Broadway station at 4.30pm on Monday
4th December 2006 I was surprised to be confronted by an AXA healthcare sales person.
It seems incredibly inappropiate to sell healthcare on a station platform where someone is going to be in a hurry and liable to make a rushed decision with vulnerable people in particular at risk. Read more >>

Road pricing dependent on make of vehicle

Since road pricing in the UK is inevitable and the reasons are to deal with congestion and to limit carbon pollution damage it seem fair to have a charge for use of roads dependent on how environmental a vehicle is much like Livingstone's proposed pollution charge but with a pay per mile levy built in as well. This could limit the charge on those driving environmentally friendlier vehicles. Read more >>

Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre - 'Not fit for Purpose'

Anne Owers HM Inspector of Prisons (HMIP) has published today a report on Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre (IRC), the UK's largest immigration removal centre, stating that it was not performing satisfactorily against ANY of the Inspectorate's tests of a healthy custodial environment and that poor relationships between custody officers and detainees were "worse than had been seen at any other detention centre" and was "Undoubtedly the poorest report" issued by HMIP of any IRC to date.

Peak Oil : High tide for an oil addicted world

2006 has seen awareness of Climate Change reach new levels and those who have said for so long that something should be done to reduce CO2 emissions are seeing action slowly – perhaps too slowly – beginning to happen.

The incredible levels of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere are a result of the massive explosion of the human population in the 20th century and the resulting use of resources – especially the burning of fossil fuels –due to our rising living standards and expectations.

No hope now for a decent mental health service in London

With cuts in mental health services and difficulties in staffing due to the high cost of living in London I am sure that most mental health services are hoping that workers will strike bar those that are in hospital. In Haringey or Wandsworth they have yet to do so and as such have lost any respect from me. Read more >>

Congestion charge to travel outwards from the zone

Apparently the increase in the congestion charge zone to include West London
will decrease revenue due to the increase in exemptions as more residents are included within the zone. Perhaps having a charge to travel outwards from within the zone as well as a pollution charge could assist with revenues as well as decreasing traffic especially in areas outside the congestion charge zone.

United Kingdom now a self-evident sick society

As I type this in a web cafe as people leave the cafe I am being verbally intimidated with people stating 'star' in a really nasty way.

OAXACA: MEXICO’s WATERSHED.

Mass protests against fraud in the wake of the Mexican
presidential elections this summer and a
six-months-old standoff in Oaxaca between the
authorities and protesters have converted Mexico into
a hotbed of insurrection. The target is a long-ruling
oligarchy of hacienda owners and industrialists who
may have underestimated populist power buoyant today
on mass communication techniques and encouraged by the
swing to the left on the Latin American continent.
