New Green Paper Discussion - now includes accessible formats and consultation event sign up links!

I would like to first thank anyone that has made a comment on this subject, since this shows that finally we are getting OUR VOICE HEARD, not only on this site but others, where there are people watching this site and the comments made.

If you don't believe that then you really need to think again…… THIS SHOULD AND HAS NEVER STOPPED ME FROM MY OPINION, as this is what democracy is all about.

This discussion has now sparked a debate that was long over due…..

This is how I got my name "onebigvoice" not only me but many as you can see here are not amused by the attitude of the Last Government, and what we were put through in the Pandemic, where we were told to stay home, don't visit loved ones, ill or not, and that the "carers" who to most were siblings, or parents were UNPAID, WHERE PEOPLE IN THE "CARE SYSTEM" WERE TOLD YOU CANNOT HAVE VISITORS YET PLACED "INFECTED PEOPLE IN CARE HOMES" THAT DECIMATED THE CARE HOME KILLING MANY of our loved ones.

I and my family were lucky enough to survive with minor injuries, but the after effects still remain.

I am noy alone in this, as there are many since that have sucumed to the system, and the assessment of access to benefits run by people who have no medical background to understand the complexity of being "disabled" (neurodiversant) and what it takes to survive the onslort of Benefit changes not only to financial help, but medical assistance.

Our first priority is to get the MEDICAL ISSUES surounding a "disability" or long term illness sorted first. This also includes waiting times and the ability to get a DIAGNOSIS from the NHS placed onto your medical history. These assessments allow you to get medical help, whether its through further investigation, therepy, tablets, or even surgery.

Most of the above are not QUICK FIXES that the government believe that getting you back to work is good for your health, no matter what. I have assisted hundreds back into work with limited capabilities, and those that were on long term sick, with no prospect of ever going back to work. ITS AN ATTITUDE THING. With the correct person at the front, we can achieve anything.

You are still reading this, shows that the attitude of many is that the system has done them over and will continue to do so until you realise that the NHS is FOR OUR BENEFIT. That is why we pay National Insurance for. So why has it become a money making machine for the French and Germans in the E U? I thought for good or bad we left the EU? What have we done since then? What other means of "trade" have we got? How is our farming industry recovering and going forwward to support BRITAIN.

Tarriff's on goods. If it is made in Britain and sold in Britain, are we not capable of allowing farmers to produce goods that are sold to Britain with a profit for them for the hard work that they put in 24/7 even to get milk to your supermarket or front door. I remember years ago where farmers were forced by the E U to POUR THEIR MILK DOWN THE DRAINS, rather than produce and send it to countries struggling with famine, sickness or war?

The system wants to be reset. Not by the government, although it would be appreciated that they, at this stage need to be consulted to find out what is wrong with the system, since they implementd it. But it is done through pressure from US. (us not the United States) Trump, like it or lump it Tarriff's of 25% on all goods including STEEL, seems to have saved our CHINESE BRITISH STEEL INDUSTRY, but has come to late for our INDIAN PRODUCING PORT TALBOT STEEL INDUSTRY.

But has it? I thought that investment in Britain should start from Britain? But we have French and german running our car parks in OUR hospitals, we have French running the tolls on OUR bridges and motorways, we have French and German running the assessments for access to financial benefits, and we also have german and French offering to undercut our NHS if you go private with them using the same doctors in the NHS in the same Hospitals as the NHS using the NHS equipment. When you also throw into the mix the AMERICAN way of PRIVATE HEALTH CARE or not get any medical care. We must be seen by the world of the land of milk and honey where fortunes can and still are being made.

The costing of millions of pounds in MISS SOLD PPE, that was not fit for purpose, where in Britain industries were revamped to produce PPE to distribute in Britain, was side lined for goods abroad brought in but were never used or unloaded, because the manifest was checked against the use of the PPE and the dust masks were more protection than those that were to be issued. WHY? Because the people given the job to order the PPE DID NOT UNDERSTAND TH BRITISH KITE MARK.

Every product in Britain has a BRITISH KITE MARK. This is what EVERYONE WANTS. We have been sold up the river by the government in believing that foreign investment and subs will encourage trade…… but all it has done is plunder the profit making areas not only in the NHS but every industry we have.

When are we going to start investing in BRITAIN WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED. You can make a difference as we have just seen with "British Steel" (I believe under the TRADES DISCRIPTION ACT, that it should no longer be called BRITISH STEEL, but like Tata Steel did, and call it TATA Steel, and Scunthorp Steel works should be called China Steel.)

These companies are only here FOR THE KITE MARK. TATA no longer produce steel and IMPORT IT FROM EUROPE AND INDIA, to be rolled here. This process will continue until late 2026, since they have not even started to approve the plans for the Arc Furnace, and are in no rush to do so.

Remember the "we are loosing a £1 MILLION POUNDS A DAY THING? Are they now that they have NO EMMISSIONS making money now? If so how? They don't make steel here any more. Or is it because they just finished installing another FOSSILE FUEL BALST FURNACE IN POLAND MAKING 5 IN TOTAL because teh Green Brigade their realise that no production means no money and no profit.
