offsite link Banning Alternative f?r Deutschland Thu Apr 24, 2025 15:00 | Eugyppius
In Germany the Left doesn't need to beat Right-wing parties, it can just ban them for supposedly being a bit too much like Hitler. Eugyppius is increasingly convinced the AfD will face a potential ban in the coming months.

PETA's schools programme tells children that animals are "just like us" and it's wrong to have pets and zoos. An organisation that has likened farming to the Holocaust has no place in the classroom, says Brian Monteith.

Economic cluelessness goes hand-in-hand with rampant hypocrisy in the grisly green echo chamber, says Chris Morrison. The jobs destroyed in the private sector have no hope of being balanced in the new fantasy green world.

A/E's to close in the midwest reports claim, why?

category national | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Thursday July 19, 2007 08:37author by Undercover reporter Report this post to the editors

A&E's to close in 'best functioning' hospitals, why?

Multiple well functioning A&E's to close across Ireland, why?

Accident and emergency departments in Ennis, Nenagh and limerick are to close apparently according to media reports (http://en.epochtimes.com/news/7-7-18/57780.html)

This is leaked from a report sponsered by the HSE that some consulants are writting up.

Its a bit odd that after this is leaked to the press and the opposition parties starting jumping up and down looking for action and praising these fantastic institutions that the HSE then publishes figures saying that the waiting times in these hospitals in these hospitals are really low.

Are we to imply from this that since the waiting lists are really low that no body needs the accident and emergency department in these hospitals or that they are doing such an exceptional job and are so effecient that no body needs to be waiting on trollies to be admitted.

I wonder aswell is this a ploy by the HSE to break the water with the bad news before the actual consultant's report gets published 'in a few weeks'. When the opposition has come out jumping up and down planning campiagns and nationwide action the wise old people at the HSE will then come in weeks later with a very well thought out and fully explored report explaining why this is actually the best option.

After over exposure to politics in the election, the goings on of the Irish authorities have made me rather cynical.

Any thoughts on why these hospitals are being closed?
