Mr Cameron should read Isaiah Chapter 10

An Extraordinary General Meeting of the Royal College of Physicians today voted overwhelmingly to oppose the Health and Social Care Bill. Only a week after their President attended the shameful ‘summit’ at Number 10, his members have voted to oppose the Bill outright, calling for it to be withdrawn. They join the vast majority of other medical Royal Colleges, including the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, whose President similarly attended that summit.

Only two major Colleges are still providing a modicum of support, the Royal College of Surgeons and the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and both have Extraordinary General Meetings next week. Given the strength of feeling in the medical profession, it is not unlikely that they, too, will be forced into outright opposition.

Meanwhile, back at the Houses of Parliament, the LibDems are busy pretending to save the NHS while voting solidly with the Government. The amendments they claim to have achieved are mere window dressing and will not make the Bill fit for purpose. They are a fig leaf to cover their embarrassing sell–out, but we are not fooled. We really are not that stupid.

And outside, a brave pensioner was carried off the street by the police when she sat down to block the road. The demonstrators outside were certainly not convinced that the Bill has been improved.

As the Good Book says in Isaiah Chapter 10:

 1 Woe to those who make unjust laws, 
   

to those who issue oppressive decrees, 


2 to deprive the poor of their rights 
   

and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, 
making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. 


3 What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar?

I couldn’t have put it better myself. 

Better watch yourself, Mr. Cameron. We shall not forget.
