Financial Times: the UK as example with 22.000 which died as a result of the cold last year?

The Banks of England and Blair 'run' a criminal government

by Henk Ruyssenaars

June 19 - 2005 - The english neocon multinational's information sheet ''Financial Times'' writes in an article* that Blair could present the British economic model to other poorer European countries as an example. Have they gone absolutely mad? What planet do they vegetate on, or is it their mad chutzpah? They are killers by avoiding to print what they know: those collaborators should all go to court as warcriminals, as soon as is possible.

May the FPF freshen up the memory of the lying and warmongering FT 'editors' who could read this too - last week - but seem to have a very serious case of Alzheimer: "The 'Age Audit' taken from the government's own figures, showed one in five pensioners lived below the poverty line: no improvement since Labour returned to power in 1997."

ENGLAND'S 'DEMOCRACY': MILLIONS OF PENSIONERS LIVE IN POVERTY

Millions of pensioners are malnourished, living below the poverty line and unable to afford to heat their homes in winter, according to new research.

The National Pensioners Convention (NPC) said an estimated 2.2 million older people, the equivalent of one in five pensioners, currently lived below the poverty line, the same number as in 1997.


At the same time it said about 1.5 million pensioners were malnourished or at serious risk of malnourishment, while 1.5 million also said their house was too cold in winter.


The Age Audit, which was based on Government statistics and major pieces of research into the lives of elderly people, also found that an estimated 22,000 people died as a result of the cold last year.


The group said around five million pensioners suffered from a long-term illness that restricted their daily life, while 7.2 million did not have access to free public transport.


But at the same time it estimated that retired people actually saved the taxpayer £24 billion a year through providing unpaid social care and childcare, and through doing voluntary work.

The audit comes as the NPC is due to hold its annual Pensioners' Parliament in Blackpool which will be attended by about 2,000 people. It is due to be addressed by Pensions Minister Stephen Timms.


The group is putting forward a Pensioners' Charter calling for all older people to have access to a decent state pension, free healthcare and a warm and comfortable home.

It wants to see the basic state pension set above the official poverty line and linked to average earnings.

It is also calling for pensioners to have access to a free annual health check, free long-term care, free community care for people living at home and free nationwide travel on public transport.

Of course all the people responsible for all this misery in England, especially the Banks and their global abject ilk, must be taken to court and punished as soon as is possible.

The British Quisling-government and it's collaborators - especially in the media, like the BBC - are a shame for humanity.
