Second hour: Investigative reports: Bullying, secrecy and cover-up as Tories race to kill the National Health Service (NHS) – Dr Charlotte Patterson, Sue Kilroe, Alan Condon. None of the 25 or so senior trustees or executives of United Hospitals Bristol (UHB) NHS trust were available to explain NHS changes. Interview with Charlotte Patterson, retired GP, and Sue Kilroe, retired Health Policy Advisor, from ‘Protect Our NHS’ – facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ProtectOurNHS/ about the government systematically destroying the NHS: Tory government quietly doubles number of NHS properties it is selling off; profits made from ill health; culture of silence in NHS – whistle blowers discouraged and blacklisting; huge Tory plans to save/cut £300m in NHS with no consultation; what can we do? revolving doors between private and public sector. Interview with Allyn Condon, who lost his son Ben, when he took him with a common virus to Bristol Children’s Hospital – when he went through the process of finding out what happened he found the story regularly changed and he realised the process was to cover the NHS’s back – not to help him. Please sign our petition calling on the Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt and the Government to investigate Bristol Children’s Hospital to hold neglectful parties responsible for Ben’s death and the subsequent cover up and ensure other families don’t suffer the way we have. Email Mark at benjamincondon@outlook.com – Trump and North Korea: NBC report saying N Korea may have miniature nuclear weapons; what Trump actually said – ‘fire and fury…..’ etc; Dr Michael Bevacqua on BBC 5Live – about Guam Island which is 1/3 US military facilities.

Beginning his working life in the aviation industry and trained by the BBC, Tony Gosling is a British land rights activist, historian & investigative radio journalist. Over the last 20 years he has been exposing the secret power of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and élite Bilderberg Conferences where the dark forces of corporations, media, banks and royalty conspire to accumulate wealth and power through extortion and war. Tony has spent much of his life too advocating solutions which heal the wealth divide, such as free housing for all and a press which reflects the concerns of ordinary people rather than attempting to lead opinion, sensationalise or dumb-down.

NOT The BCfm Politics Show 
Why are you spending so much time on Diana and the Royals ? If by giving potential listeners some soap opera well maybe its may be a smart tactic to pursued listeners to listen to the important stuff too, like about the homeless, contracting out traditional public sector services to the vampire type of capitalists, wars of plunder UK led by the nose by our evil empire US government run by corporations , and the like . In the US our royals are the top of the 1% and corporations. A civilized compassionate society one of a more equitable distribution of wealth : a much smaller wealth gap. That means high taxes on the “1%” . the fdr administration, Beveridge and his researchers proved that public spending and putting caps on self serving profits via high tax rate and so on works. austerity is a failure and i believe its an intentional failure perpetrated by the fat cats. Your guest in the first hour who dismisses conspiracies out of hand is wrong. The British empire used the trojan horse of “the white man’s burden” to help resource rich countries to raise these so called backwards continents and countries which had there own high culture.
Post ww2 and prior, the US empire uses the trojan horse of spreading democracy to exploit other weaker continents and countries’ resources. Yeah, we liberate their souls from their bodies(killed or maimed for life by war) to control and plunder their resources.
by the way when the FDR regime put into law a tax of 96% on the 1% back then, the first 50,000 usd they made was not taxed. now, taking into account inflation, etc that was worth 350,000 in purchasing power, nothing to sneeze at.
Did Harold Wilson fail because he taxed the richest 90+ % on the first farthing the wealthy made ? I remember reading that many millionaires including the Rolling Stones left the UK to get out of paying taxes. is this true ?
Head of State absolutely key here. Far more power than she likes us to believe. Charles is a rich arrogant cheat, smarmy in the extreme.
thanks for the reply Tony
