    A nice little display from the Jet Provost today, and sad to think it’s now the only resident jet warbird at Dx now 🙁

    Farage was widely condemned by those wishing to earn themselves brownie points, especially that Scottish woman, when
    he brought up the subject of health tourism.

    He suggested that treating foreigners for free on the NHS was not right and that we should, like 46 other countries, not admit foreigners who are HIV positive.

    Quote…”Of the 107,800 people estimated by Public Health England to be HIV positive an astonishing 59,300 are originally from Africa. The cost to the NHS to treat just them alone with anti-retrovirals would be £1,186,000,000 per annum – and the numbers are rising….”

    What you don’t hear the hecklers talking about is this.

    Quote…”20 Tory backbenchers (including former NHS GPs Dr Sarah Wollaston and Dr Phillip Lee) tried unsuccessfully to amend the Immigration Bill to make it law that before new immigrants enter the country, they must prove they are not HIV-positive and not suffering Hepatitis B – an equally devastating illness that is also incredibly costly to treat…..”

    Does this sound familiar ?, from 2013

    Quote…”Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt wants only permanent British residents to qualify for anything other than emergency care free of charge. He insists Britain has a ‘national health service, not an international health service’…”

    In comparison with the strength of the multiplicity of allegations against Savile none of the other individuals alleged to have committed offences come close. And fatuous comments about individuals having “got away with it” are wholly irresponsible.

    How else to you explain why we only hear about the exploits of these individuals, once they have died ?

    It’s irresponsible that Margaret Thatcher hushed up the exploits of Cyril Smith amongst many others.

    Irresponsible that the police took no action against Savile, having known what he was up to, for over 20years.

    If you look at at the reviews (on Amazon for instance), a lot of owner seem quite happy with them.
    When you look at some of the magazine reviews, they seem somewhat less impressed.

    It’s all very confusing. I’m still hanging on to my money.

    As the majority of the (alleged) guilty parties in this sordid affair are getting pretty geriatric by now,
    I wonder if it is the intention to drip feed the names of these people to the general public, choosing those
    who are either dead, or very nearly dead.
    Knowing that once one of them actually gets to court, the whole pack of cards will come tumbling down.

    Leon Brittan was another who go away with it.

    Alan Neither did Hitler!

    I was going to mention him, but thought some might feign offence.

    Savile never stood in a court of law. So there will always be that element of doubt as to his guilt.

    But they will actively go after you if you are dead, as in Jimmy Saville’s case… Sorry, but if you can rightly find Saville guilty and seek recompense for his victims, you CAN AND SHOULD go after this dementia suffering Lord Janner scumbag and his monies, and jail him. He should also be stripped of his title.

    Rant over…

    I tend to agree

    Quote…”Lord Janner should have been charged with historic child sex offences on three occasions over 25 years and
    will now never be prosecuted because of the ‘severity’ of his dementia, the Crown Prosecution Service said today….”

    Although he was still fit enough to work up until 2013. (yes I do know how this illness works)

    So yet another one is off the hook. This goes way back. It’s no secret that a certain Prime Minister was involved
    in a cover up. It is also claimed the Government is refusing to publish at least four other files on historic child abuse
    because it is worried about what information may come out before May’s General Election.

    I remember when the revelations about Savile first became public knowledge, following the documentary about him.
    So many people were still saying that it couldn’t be true, and that he was a lovely person.

    The names of those involved can be found on the Internet, and are common knowledge to many of those in the press
    as well as current politicians. It involves those who were right at the top in politics, covered up by high ranking officers
    in the police force.

    It’s a volcano waiting to erupt.
