THE MONTHLY MOSQUITO

Boris Johnson the Funny Bunny

He in fact, is a unmindful buffoon at times, particularly with comments like: Why do women go to university? To find men to marry…

He might have a wondering eye for the fair sex, but he certainly has a wondering brain to go with it and, if it wonders anymore, it may wander off to Timbuktu.

Nonetheless, you have to give him some recognition because he appears to get away with it. Although I’m not sure all the ladies might agree, especially those who have worked hard at University.

Mind you, he’s an excellent one to assert his opinion. How many women has he got impaled, feet first under the kick boards of the kitchen sink, not many, I don’t suspect, bearing in mind, he’s divorced because of his extra-marital relations.

I’m sure it was, at the time, a very locker-room joke, but some jokes are left better unspoken, then to ruffle the feathers of women around the world.

The Tumour of Ill Humour

This is not the first time I’ve come across this thing from G.P’s working in the Basildon and, Wickford area, although I will not identify any health centre specifically.

Three senior doctors missed a man’s brain tumour the size of a tennis ball, even though he had gone there with speech problems and, they decided to treat him with depression.

Even as a lay person I would realise that if a person was afflicted with speech problems that this could mean a number of things that could be wrong with this man.

It could have meant that he may have had a reaction to medication that he may have taken, or had a stroke, Intracranial Hematoma, a mini stroke, Brain aneurysm, Brain Infection, or finally a Brain tumour.

Nonetheless, three certified doctors diagnosed him with depression. Not on one occasion in that four weeks could these doctors see that this man was suffering from more than depression.

Three G.P’s prescribed Chris Buckley with 20mgs of the medication called Citalopram and, sleeping tablets. Did they believe that they could sleep this mans brain tumour away, even when this man was almost mute, or did this signify that it made their life less challenging because that way they didn’t have to fork out for expensive medication to treat this man because Citalopram is cost-effective.

Chris Buckley even lost the use of his hand and, this should have been a huge sign that something was severely wrong in the space separating the loss of speech and, the loss of hand movement.

At this present time, the associates of Robert Frew Surgery in Wickford, Essex face no further action by the General Medical Council after unbiased specialist G.P’s gave contradictory opinions on the standard of care.

There was no standard of care and, how can it be impartial and, specialist if they were opposing findings on this mans care.

These three G.P’s evaluation of Chris Buckley fell critically beneath what should be required of a fairly accomplished G.P. and, they all failed to examine other causes of this man’s condition, instead it was just easier and cheaper to palm him off with medication for depression.

Taking Blood from a Stone

The government need to reverse this bedroom tax, or whatever they call it before it’s too late. People are ending up in debt just because they can’t afford to pay it and, some just won’t pay it out of principle.

You can’t take blood from a stone, but the government will darn well aspire to, so long as that person’s still alive and kicking, they will take anything they can from them to make them suffer.

I’m sure they must get significant enjoyment out of taking money from people that really don’t have it and, when they don’t cough up, they just make them homeless.

Although, I was always lead to believe that the council or housing association could only get a court order if one were in breach of their tenure, such as serious anti-social behaviour, like drug -dealing, family violence and rent arrears.

It does not say non-payment of under occupancy and, if our homes are under utilised, is that not down to the council or housing association to place us somewhere else?

After all, the council or housing association did move those people there in the first place and, if they knew the home was far too large for them, why didn’t they say no to their moving there and, put them somewhere else?

The reason that people are being put into living quarters that are notably to large for them is because the councils and housing association don’t have the space any longer and, the government know this, so then they made a decision that one had to shell out for the extra space.

Why should we and, why should the burden be on the people, after all, it’s not our home, we rent from the the powers that be or housing associations, but of course it gives them a reason to boot them out of their living quarters that some have lived in for longer than 30 years.

Nevertheless, it’s not about the additional rooms that people have it’s all about the money that the government will recover for those extra rooms, but what they fail to realise is this.

If one makes a law that states a person has to pay for the other bedrooms and, then that person doesn’t have the financial structure to pay for it because the government has also decreased benefits, put up council tax and, has also told us people have to pay for extra space, then the government need to take a gander at the figures and, then they would realise that after all these things, people just do not have the financial structure to pay for extra space.

Now we get down to the nitty gritty of everything.

Whilst the government are rubbing their hands at the same time, believing they will rake the money in from the poor, the poor aren’t going to foot the bill because they don’t have it, which means the government won’t get the funds they thought they would – It’s not rocket science, it’s common sense.

Consequently the government have got a never-ending revolving door that’s going to whack them in the face because one cannot take what people don’t have.

Of course, you can take them to court, you can pack them off to prison, but how many people are they going to have room for in prison, when prisons are already overwhelmed with prisoners.

Besides the fact, it’s not an offence to live in your home, year after year, make that place your home, put nice things into it, bring up your children, have memories, to be told that you’re not allowed anything, it was not at any time yours, it in no way was and, it’s not at any time going to be!

Nonetheless, the elbow grease put into that home is down to the tenant, they made that home what it is, they made it nice; they made it suitable, they made a home. They put love, sweat and tears into that home, they gave it that vital spark and; they spent money on it over time.

Who is going to make amends them for all the love, sweat, tears and money they put into it?

When they knock down a council estate and, they have to move those residents and, then those residents are given a lump sum for the trouble of moving and, it’s quite a large lump sum.

Consequently, when they’re asking a resident to downsize, they should pay them for the trouble because after all, they fork out rent, the councils and housing associations own that property, it’s theirs, so the onus is constantly on them, not the rent payer.

Iain Duncan Smith Taking the Fifth

What can I say about Iain Duncan Smith, well not a lot, in fact? What can I say about ATOS, well not a lot?

Whatever I would like to express about each of them is beside the point because that’s my personal point of view and, who in point of fact gives a damn what I believe.

However, when I listen about how the ATOS corporation is operating and, how it’s skewered against the claimant, then that gives me a right to say something.

I comprehend the doctrine of what the government were trying to do at the start. Striving to coax out the shirkers from the workers, but now as stated by the government, everyone who is jobless is a bum and, it seems to be that the disabled are slacker than the able bodied.

ATOS is not a good system and, clearly the welfare tests are not working correctly because if they were, the public wouldn’t have gone to food banks to get through this governments cuts in benefit.

If the tests at ATOS are being staged to find people fit for work so that they can cut off their benefits, then without a doubt something is amuck within the government.

People with cancer are being sent back to work. If you send a person back out to work who is having chemotherapy, they are open to all kinds of infection and illnesses, especially pneumonia, which can be the ultimate cause of death in itself.

The government know exactly what they’re doing, but they have no consideration for human life. If they did, then they wouldn’t allow this to happen.

I’m aware that there are claimants who get money and, they shouldn’t, but that’s what DWP employ fraud officers for. They have employed fraud officers for years to find out who is cheating the system, so don’t you think they already knew who was deceiving the system before, but that wasn’t good enough; they had to go one further and, pick on everyone.

Politics is a government that forms a regime. That gives us a set of regulations or social standards and, controls its interactions within the community, which implies dictatorship.

Any dictatorship is power and, we have been dominated for many years and, we have been locked up by these invisible bars, but we can only be kept in the cages that we do not see.

Lord Freud who undermines the Unemployed

I have in no way had to pay a visit to a food bank due to the fact that I was so poor and, I hope I never have to go to one.

Nonetheless, I am acquainted with people that have had to go to food banks.

When I think of food banks, the picture that comes into my head is the thought of soup kitchens for the needy, which dates back to the 1700’s when religious welfare organisations first embarked on providing the poor in their neighbourhood with free food.

In the 1800’s, the purpose of the soup kitchen was more widespread, on the other hand, by the mid 1800’s, soup kitchens were fading away due to changing ideas about poverty and public assistance.

That was back in the 1800’s, but right now we live in in 2013, where we believed that everything had changed for the better.

Right now we appear to be sinking drastically with this executive power that we have, telling what can and cannot do, but as you see we’re not having a famine or having a great depression and, despite the fact that we may be in a financial slump we are still a fairly thriving society.

Although, we will not continue to be a growing nation if we provide support to the poor of other countries or allow new arrivals into our native land and, give them free charitable institution such as, medical care and, social housing.

However, our government seems more worried on how to feed, medicate and house those that are not British due to the fact that they work for not as much pay and longer hours than the British people and, then they send out their child benefit that the government hand out to them, back to their extended family and, furthermore people who have been born in England have to go cap in hand to food banks, how is that right?

ATOS A LOSS!

Mental Illness differs from person to person, not everyone is identical, so consequently they can’t be evaluated by a points process and, you can’t see a Mental Illness, it’s not physical.

An illness is an illness, whether you can see it or not. If a G.P. or hospital have signed you off with a Mental Illness and, you are under the hospital, under the Mental Health Team, then obviously you have a Mental Health problem.

A doctor or hospital will not sign you off work unless you have a legitimate reason for being signed off. I believe that if a doctor or hospital has diagnosed you with an illness, then that should be good enough, if not, why do we need doctors, we may as well have ATOS diagnose us and, give us medical care instead of our doctors.

Doctors have been here for hundreds of years, treating patients within the medical professions.

ATOS is a French IT company, who have been assessing people with disabilities for five minutes!

Happy Birthday NHS!

The fact that we still have the NHS and, it’s still up and running is remarkable, in spite of the fact it needs the largest rebuild and, that can be done with the right people.

At this point in time, the NHS is in turmoil, but the trouble is the more that we protest, the more the government will use that to their advantage and say that if we’re not happy with the way things are, then maybe the NHS should go private.

What makes them believe that going private would make it any more beneficial?

So many errors are made within the system and, people are dying because of this and, one might say that doctors are not god’s and, that is very true they are human beings, and because we are human beings; blunders are made every day and, that is very true, as well.

It’s a hospital after all and, sick people pass away daily and, patients also continue to live and, walk the earth until they’re very old.

It’s where you cross that line into believing that additional errors are made or may have been made and, letting the people believe that as well, it’s more or less like a scaremongering method so that the government can strike terror into the public through the media into believing that going down the private sector would be a better option.

The NHS marks its 65th birthday on Friday, should we leave things as they are, or should we bring the NHS into line with the 21st century?

My dad used to say, may he rest in peace. Better the devil you do know, than the devil you don’t. Nonetheless, what I do believe is this, when I look back on how hospitals used to be when I was growing up, everything has changed dramatically.

There is increased pressure on the NHS and, an even tighter budget and, that’s what it’s all about. If the budget for the NHS is tighter and more inflexible, then patients will not get the care that they need and, nurses are not giving the care that used to be given back in the day because there is no driving power to support the NHS any longer; it’s all about facts and figures or lowering the expense of the NHS.

Older people are thought of as a financial pressure on the NHS spending.

If you’re over a certain age, the statistics say that you’re not a realistic candidate for operative surgery, especially when renewing a vital body part, solely because that replacement would last longer than the patient, so why fritter away a perfectly decent replacement on a person who is not going to live longer than the organ itself.

It’s not about maintaining a human life any longer, it’s about how much money it will cost them. If you’re a patient of 75 plus and, you need a valve replacement operation, you may not be eligible for that operation because the valve would last longer than the patient and, as a result what is the point. It ‘s beside the point that one may live another 10-15 years with that valve replacement.

As well because that the patient is 75 plus, the death rate upon doing the surgery is higher than someone who is 55, so why would they want to waste their time and energy on some patient that may die on they’re operating table. Nevertheless, they don’t know that they will die on the operating table, they are merely speculating that they will and, that the patient is not a financially realistic choice.

A patient’s life is at all times a realistic option when carrying out surgery and, they’re not irrelevant, whether they are 25 or 75, the fact remains that a life was saved on that operating table.

To say that a person of 75 plus is not worth operating on is ridiculous, in that case they may as well say that a person of 25 is not worth operating on because although they will almost unquestionably survive the operation, who knows in 5-10 years time they could die of something else, does that mean they’re not a viable candidate for operative surgery because they will die of something else. In that case why bother doing operations at all?

Ignorance is Bliss within the Demonic Abyss

George Osborne has got it so incorrect and, to think god gave him cerebral matter!

His remark about the first week of unemployment should be looking for work and, not looking to sign on is completely laughable.

Out of work, no job and no money: Even if you did look for a job in that week and, found a potential job, how on earth are you meant to get to the interview if you have no money?

I expect he will claim that one could walk to their interview, all depending on where the job is situated and, one is healthy enough to walk all that way.

However, say someone has had their welfare stopped because ATOS has considered them fit to work, even though they are in a wheelchair, how on earth are they supposed to get to an interview?

I grant George Osborne was given a brain, but he definitely doesn’t use it to its capacity! If he did, then he may realise that one day he may end up incapacitated, not that I would wish it upon anybody, but until it’s happens, many people are extremely ill-informed. The same goes for those that are in employment and, consider the out-of-work wasters of society, but until it happens, you have no concept at all and, one should never form an opinion until they have walked in someone else’s shoes.

Mr. Gideon Oliver Osborne, put yourself in the shoes of other people, who are jobless, but have suddenly been sanctioned because they’ve been told by the Job Centre that they have to look for four jobs a week.

However, suddenly it’s gone from four to six, but no one from the Job Centre notified them and, of course people don’t walk around with a crystal ball up their rear end, so had no way of knowing that the guidelines had changed once more.

Now they have to appeal that decision of being punished for the wrong reasons, which will take weeks, if not months to restore their money, but alas they will have to wait a week before their money is reinstated, so that they have sufficient time to find work.

Nevertheless, it’s not about that at all, is it?

It’s about keeping people off unemployment benefit for a period so that they don’t get paid any welfare because the government need to fill in the deficit that our government has brought upon themselves over the years. In fact, you don’t care whether people are in work or on the streets, so long as the deficit is filled and, the government look respectable enough and, are elected into the next general election.

Mr. Osborne has never been poverty-stricken; he’s had the finest schooling, gone to the crème de la crème of colleges and, he may not have gone from college to being the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but he did work, data entry clerk, typing in the particulars of recently deceased people on the NHS database.

Maybe that’s why he’s got no feeling for other people because in that time, he’s become accustomed to people who where dead and, now can’t manage to live in the real world with people that are actually alive.

Voters vent, as MP’s Spree

A bumper rise for MP’s, not that they don’t get enough wages already, without being given extra. I suppose those magnificent festivities and expensive champagne dinners must be getting way above what they’re being paid. Now MP’s believe that they should fill the bill for extra funds than their worthy of.

I’m not certain what makes them believe that they’re above everyone else and that their salaries should be in level with what chartered accountants are paid.

However, they needn’t earn that much if the tax man didn’t take so much from the hard working classes, but if tax is high, then accountants pick up more earnings, which means that the government can then say that they want their wages to be in line with the tax man because the government only ever do what is fair for their neediness and, no one else’s, not even the tax man!

MP’s will continue to taint their expenditure because they’re selfish. Greedy MP’s that take off the lower class and working class, whilst George Osborne puts pressure on hundreds of families across the UK, saying it’s because he needs to fill in the shortfall that the government sourced in the first place, yet they’re not prepared to cut back on their own lavish lifestyle.

If the people of England have to endure because of the governments complete and utter cock up, then the government should be held liable for such deficiencies, after all they choose to be in a job where they are responsible for people’s lives. They can’t think of it like some business venture, where you become personally interested in something and, then later on become fed up and, then find it a pain in the neck and, then turn a blind eye to it. You cannot be blind to a life!

You can’t overlook a life when it’s still living and, what’s more, you cannot disregard it when it’s no longer here. If someone has a duty of care with regard to another person or person’s and, then they die whilst in their duty of care, then the person who had that duty of care, should be held accountable for their shortcomings, as to why that person or persons died.

Human life may appear of no importance to the government, but if it were their nearest and dearest who was troubled with this hand-to-mouth existence, I’m sure they wouldn’t take that duty of care without incident. Nevertheless, because it’s not their family, they seem to think of that person or person’s like some refuse they can throw onto the scrap heap.

It’s similar to when you were younger and, were at school. You fitted in or you didn’t, not so much class importance, but if you wore glasses, had braces and, wasn’t that attractive, then you were a geek.

You had to fit into the right pigeon hole and, if you didn’t, then you got bullied or just called names, like the government are doing to the lower class and working classes right this moment and, being called a scrounger is a method of bullying, for the lower class and working class that don’t fit into that pigeon hole.

Well, the people of England are not rubbish and shouldn’t be considered so by anyone. If the government believe that the lower classes are scroungers, it’s only because they’ve been pigeon holed.

I know I’m a category, but I do not deserve to be compartmentalised and, while I live, breath and, I’m not in my pine box, I know that as a human being, I should be given free rein to branch out into the human being that I want to be, not what the government believe I should be because I’m an individual, not a robot that can be commanded and, I will not be controlled.

If we’re not allowed to be free thinkers and, we’re not allowed to air or talk over our opinions and, the government need to lock us out and, shut us up all the time, they may as well give us all lobotomies. I already feel like I live in a submissive society, with people who think, but say nothing because they are so damn concerned they may get arrested, or that they may disappear from view.

NHS – Putting a Handle on that Scandal

When did medication that our doctor gave us become so costly? It was such a long time ago, even I fail to remember. Like a great deal of things, I don’t see why we should pay for our medication because we spend so much in levy, that the taxes that a working person pays should go towards medication anyhow, without them having to pay any extra.

It appears that the tax man will take our money for whatever reason that they can imagine and suits them and, if we’re not cautious, next they will be taxing us for the air that we breathe, in fact I would imagine that they’re thinking of methods that they can put into place as we breathe, pardon the pun!

In an article dated 1 April 2011 the coalition’s intentions were to make a tax on fresh air. I actually read through this in the Mirror newspaper back in 2011 and, believed it was a farce and, found it thoroughly amusing, but after all that’s been going on in such a short space of time, I have no skepticism as to what will come next.

It said in the Mirror that the air that we breathe is to be taxed as part of a revolutionary Government plan to raise more money.

I can hear everyone chuckling to themselves, but seemingly people in rural areas will have to pay out the most under this charge and, those living in more polluted cities will be required to pay not so much.

As I read through the article, it reads more and more like an Asimov novel and, it goes on to say that the Air Tariff Control System will evaluate charges in different regions of the country and, each home will be legally responsible for remittance and, gasp even more, the project will be run by a private firm.

I’m wondering and shaking my head because I just can’t believe this is correct, but as stated by the newspaper, it’s true, but you don’t have to be convinced by me, you can read it for yourself and, decide what you believe:
