So any governmental 'input' of £1.1 billion into any 'N.H.S Rescue' package can be seen for what it is - 'smoke and mirrors' drip feeding from an ocean of the banks money which fecking belongs to the taxpayer in the first place.

Perhaps, the Government 'rhetoric' of the day, that the banks had to be rescued because they were "too big to fail", speaks volumes about the government's real attitude on the N.H.S, because an injection of only £3.1 billion on the N.H.S. in comparison to the £1020 billions of public money 'invested' on saving the banks, would suggest that the N.H.S. is deemed 'not too big to fail - or in other words, with 'privatisation firmly in mind - 'not really worthy of saving'.

Please bear in mind that I am not a 'Labour' voter so I have no 'personal agenda' here, and I am merely stating what I regard as the truth.

The 'Modus Operandi' behind this latest Government ploy is designed to impress non-Tory voters and recruit them to their cause, by bamboozling them that this 'Government Initiative' penalises the Banker's or traditional Tory supporters, to the benefit of the 'working classes', or traditional Labour supporters. Yet, it is all a con, and merely copies the very successful blueprint first drafted by that great political tactician Maggie Thatcher, which she employed during the 'Council House' sell off and State Owned companies privatisation of the 1980's.

That, however, is another post.

Great post
