"Foreign AIDS" again for Africa? What about England?
Blair wants to go to history as the "Friend of Africa".
by Henk Ruyssenaars
June 6 - 2005 - According to some British headlines this afternoon one of the worst war criminals on earth - England's Tony the Liar Blair - in secret is planning to hold a second 'G8 summit on Africa'. After we in the West nearly have wrecked the African continent now Blair offers help? "Foreign AIDS" again? It is understood that this malignant miscreant has all propaganda channels - like the BBC - pumping out the fake news because this war criminal Blair wants to go to history as the "Friend of Africa". Instead of the more correct "Infamous Invader of Iraq", which he is.
Tony Blair is prepared to call an emergency "crisis meeting for Africa", but when I saw the facts and figures below it made me think of poor parts of Africa I've visited, not of England, a nation that squanders billions on illegal inhuman warfare for other war criminals - like Bush the 'Butcher of Baghdad' - but lets for instance an estimated 22,000 people in England die as a result of the cold last year. The story below reads like a report on Romania in the time of the maniacal dictator Nicolai Ceaucescu who together with his wife immediately was shot when the possibility occurred.

This British regime is criminal: "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.' In an article titled 'Millions of OAPs 'live in poverty' the Daily Mail* writes a hair-raising story on 'democracy' in England: "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 health care 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.
