I wonder who else will topple from power due to the Panama Papers.

Glad we are backing a candidate who doesn't act like most candidates.

1. Tory David Cameron, no surprise really. Look for Americans coming soon...

2. They're saving the best for last, I'm sure.

There's going to be a ton of Americans on the list...the most corrupt of all.

PEACE

4. And David Cameron is the scum-sucker who wanted to privatize the National Health Service

The NHS is one a one-way road to privatisation:

The NHS has been legally abolished. Perhaps most controversial is the opening up of NHS contracts to unlimited privatisation. Last year alone, out of £9.63bn worth of NHS deals signed, £3.54bn (nearly 40% of them) went to private firms. Private providers are cherry-picking lucrative services to boost their profits leaving the NHS with less money to provide comprehensive care. This neatly ties in with the next aspect of the legislation.

Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are now only legally obliged to provide emergency care and ambulances. Beyond this, the CCGs can provide services as they deem to be appropriate. This translates into unlimited rationing. We are already seeing the rationing of hearing aids and cataracts. Devon CCG announced that all routine surgery would be restricted for obese patients and smokers. And routine shoulder surgery would be restricted for all patients.

This is convenient in view of significant cuts. We’ve already had £15bn to £20bn of what are euphemistically termed efficiency savings. Simon Stevens’ Five Year Forward View asked the government for an extra £8bn each year but the flip side of this is a further £22bn in efficiency savings. Never has the NHS undergone such a funding squeeze since its inception. Yet we spend significantly less on the NHS than the EU average and well below the likes of France, Germany and the Netherlands. Out of the G7, only Italy has the same level of spending.

I believe Cameron backed off a bit on this, after protests; but he has damaged the NHS.
