La privatisation de l’eau est une escroquerie

Au Royaume-Uni, les compagnies d’eau se sont endettées tout en déversant des eaux usées dans les cours d’eau, en faisant grimper les factures et en permettant à leurs actionnaires de réaliser d’énormes bénéfices. Pour mettre fin à cette situation, il faut que le gouvernement leur reprenne la gestion de l’eau. Source : Jacobin, Prem SikkaTraduit […]

What a lark privatisation is. For everyone except consumers.

"Former NSW energy minister Matt Kean said he was told extending Eraring's life would cost $3 billion... due to the rising cost of coal."

There was a time when the state of NSW owned and operated the electricity supply chain, from coal face to meter box, charging consumers cost + maintenance + reinvestment - designed and managed by engineers.

Imagine electricity bills today if such a commonsense, commonwealth arrangement were still in place.

#African #unions push for own solutions to cycle of #SovereignDebt

Several African governments avoid defaults through unpopular, harsh, repressive #austerity measures. Governments set aside unfathomable amounts of public finance to service debts.

#SriLanka "#SlaveLabour bill" threatens to remove 13 pro-labour laws

"The government and the #IMF have made this situation worse by increasing indirect taxes, removing subsidies for working people and promoting harmful #privatisation, without a political mandate. As a result, more than half of all Sri Lankans have reduced their food intake. And half a million families have stopped using electricity.”

Est-il légitime de payer des nouveaux traitements à plus de trois millions d’euros quand ils ont été développés avant tout grâce à de l’argent public ? Pourquoi l’administration en charge de négocier les prix des médicaments ne disposent-elles pas des informations nécessaires comme le coût de production, l’investissement réel des industriels dans le développement du médicament, les marges des intermédiaires, l’ensemble des aides publiques reçues ? Quand le prix exorbitant de traitements princeps menace notre système de santé alors qu’un industriel comme Sanofi annonce des dividendes en hausse, dépassant les 4 milliards de dollars

How India’s Economy and Hindutva Rise Together

India’s middle class has been the big winner from a deregulated economy. In turn, that middle class helps fuel the rise of populism and Hindutva.

National Demonstration to Protest The #Tory Party Conference in #Manchester on October 1st

“The #Tories have the audacity to return to Manchester in October for their annual conference. It's crucial we collectively come together en-masse to give them the biggest, boldest and loudest unwelcome!

This vile, vicious and corrupt government cannot be allowed to attend their conference without opposition. Their programme of ideological and unnecessary #austerity, #privatisation, #profiteering, #deregulation attacks on our democratic rights to protest and organise at work (and so much more) must be resisted.

It's crucial we fight back, resist the transfer of wealth to the very rich they and crush all attempts to weaken and demoralise us as a class. History tells us that when ordinary working class people come together on the issues we agree on, get organised and collectively fight back in big numbers, we force our governments to meet our political demands..

Achieving the right to vote, trade union rights, our welfare state and NHS, abolishing slavery (and more) were all achieved despite massive opposition and against huge odds. Our ancestors refused to give up, so we must refuse to be discouraged and continue our fight for the better, fairer world we deserve.

First we get rid of the Tories. Then we look at next steps and strongly hold to account any subsequent government that does not act in our interests.”

THE Great NHS Heist is a MUST WATCH for anyone who values this extremely important public institution.

“The #NHS has been deliberately undermined, repurposed and de-funded over decades.
Overstretched and dangerous by design, it is not prepared to cope with the current challenge.
Our film clearly sets out how the nation and the NHS has been betrayed by our politicians and the media that fail to challenge their deception.” #privatisation

“Designed to give millions of people "freedom from fear" the #NHS today is under threat of being sold off and converted to a free market model inspired by America's disastrous health insurance system, which results in the death every year of an estimated 45,000 people.”

Exarcheia: A year of occupation and the struggle for public space - Freedom News

While the permanent police presence in the heart of Exarcheia is worrying in some ways, it is less dangerous than the future heralded by the construction work.
The residents of Exarcheia are not alone in their struggle to defend their neighbourhood from the economic forces rapidly reshaping Greece. The combined effects of property investment, privatisation and unchecked tourism are making themselves felt across the country.

« Je suis un médecin enseignant, et là, chaque année, on a des résidents qui terminent leur spécialité en médecine de famille et, tout de suite, ils vont au privé. C'est rendu un choix comme un autre, et ça, je trouve que c'est très problématique. »

Make Privatisation Illegal

Stop the failed profit driven evil of society. Privatisation brings the world down in a sinking ship of managers who ignore good services because they are only focused on shareholders and profit. A nationalised company can still be profitable to breakeven. It’s not important to make millions its more important to provide good services for all.

The #privatisation of #migrants 'governance' continues as the Govt. triples the fines for landlords & employers who employ or house 'illegal migrants' in the UK.

With fines for first breach of the rule raised from £15k to £45k & repeat breaches at £60k, we can expect it will drive migrants further into the shadow economy, but also expand intrusive checks on people landlords or employers suspect to be so-called 'illegals'.

Its one further screw in the vice of the #Tories inhumanity!
