    Hundreds fall ill after having swine flu jab
    By Clodagh Sheehy
    Monday December 14 2009

    Swine flu vaccine has caused adverse reactions in 619 people to date, varying from seizures and anaphylactic shock to fainting and vomiting.

    Two more people have died from the flu but the number of people falling ill with the virus has halved in the past week.

    More than 400,000 vaccinations against swine flu have been carried out, according to the latest figures from the Irish Medicines Board which details the reported side effects for both forms of the vaccines — Pandemrix and Celvapan.

    Of the 619 people who showed side effects to the vaccine, 52 had an allergic reaction and three of these went into anaphylactic shock.

    Altogether 210 children reacted adversely to the vaccine, 15 with an allergic reaction and some of the children needed hospital treatment as a result.

    Forty pregnant women reported side effects, four of them allergic and one woman, with a history of miscarriage, lost her baby.

    Six people had seizures, two people reported facial palsy and the IMB was made aware of the death of one patient 10 days after vaccination but says the patient had an underlying condition and there was no evidence of a link between the vaccine and the patient’s death.

    “Most people receiving the vaccine have serious and/or chronic underlying medical conditions which put them at greater risk of developing serious complications of swine flu,” says the board adding “this is why it is important for these people to be vaccinated as a priority”.

    Generally the reactions included flu-like illness, head-ache, dizziness and fainting, pins and needles, transient weakness of the vaccinated limb and nausea and vomiting.

    The latest people to die from swine flu were two men with underlying illnesses, one from the east and the other from the south of the country, bringing the total deaths to 20.

    Health officials say there has been a marked decline in the spread of the virus in the past week, down to 5,500 new cases compared to 10,500 the previous week.

    CLUES THAT YOUR COUNTRY MAY BE TURNING INTO A FASCIST STATE

    NOTE: Some of these symptons are found in non-fascist countries where they should be treated as serious warning signs. On the other hand, fascist states – unlike democratic nations – have many, if not all, of these symptoms.

    Your president/pm asserts the right to ignore part or all of laws passed by the national legislature.

    Massive warrantless searches

    Your president/ministers and other officials regularly lie to you

    Fraudulent election counts

    Government monitoring of letters, emails, phone calls and checking accounts

    Secret courts

    A government subservient to the interests of the country�s largest corporations.

    Use of torture on prisoners

    Courts that support presidential/ministerial use of unconstitutional powers

    Massive spying on citizens, especially those involved in political dissent

    A government that uses words like democracy, freedom and peace while engaging in acts dramatically at odds with such words

    Government agencies or officials declaring themselves exempt from portions of the law or constitution

    Creation of watchlists, no-fly lists and similar exclusionary documents

    National ID cards

    Massive use of cameras to spy on citizens

    A media supportive of, or obsequious towards, the government in covering its police state activities

    Lack of legal recourse to stop illegal government actions

    Prison without trial and arrests without charges

    The only box that UK 2009 doesn’t tick is the one about having a charismatic leader.

    Well, I think we all know what to do then. From this point on, I will speak into my phone on loudspeaker with it right in front of me….whenever a copper is in view – then they will have to judge.

    They will get bored soon enough..

    What was the film statement in “V”? “The people shouldn’t be afraid of the Government. The Government should be afraid of the people”.

    Shouldn’t be too hard, on past form.

    The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis, by Bill MoyersWatch this video on video.google.co.uk 1:26:29 – 2 years ago
    This is the full length 90 min. version of Bill Moyer’s 1987 scathing critique of the criminal subterfuge carried out by the Executive Branch of the United States Government to carry out operations which are clearly contrary to the wishes and values of the American people. The ability to exercise this power with impunity is facilitated by the National Security Act of 1947. The thrust of the exposé is the Iran-Contra arms and drug-running operations which flooded the streets of our nation with crack cocaine. The significance of the documentary is probably greater today in 2007 than it was when it was made. We now have a situation in which these same forces have committed the most egregious terrorist attack on US soil and have declared a fraudulent so-called “War on Terror”. The ruling regime in the US who have conducted the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, are now banging the war drum against Iran. We have the PATRIOT act which has stripped us of many of our basic civil rights justified by the terror of 9/11 which is their own doing.

    THIS IS OUR FAULT—- WE ALLOW THEM TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT—AS LONG AS WE’RE LEFT IN PEACE.

    WHEN YOUR TURN COMES’ AROUND- THEN WHAT- WHO WILL BOTHER?

    The Minister sets “adoption targets”!!

    parents to fulfill those targets !!

    CAN THIS BE TRUE ??

    ADOPTION TARGETS DO VERY MUCH EXIST !!!!

    The following was a parliamentary question to ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what targets have been set for local authorities by central Government regarding adoption; and when each target was introduced.

    Parmjit Dhanda (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Education and Skills) | Hansard source

    The Government have set a number of targets on adoption, in particular to increase the numbers of looked after children who are adopted from care.

    The following target was included in the Department of Health publication “Improvement, Expansion and Reform: The Next Three Years (Priorities and Planning Framework 2003-2006)”:

    “Maintain current levels of adoption placement stability (as measured by the proportion of placements for adoption ending with the making of an adoption order) so that quality is not compromised whilst increasing the use of adoption as follows:

    By 2004-05 increase by 40 per cent. the number of looked after children who are adopted, and aim to exceed this by achieving, if possible, a 50 per cent. increase by 2006, up from 2,700 in 1999-2000. All councils will bring their practice up to the current level of the best performers.

    By 2004-05 increase to 95 per cent. the proportion of looked after children placed for adoption within 12 months of the decision that adoption is in the child’s best interests, up from 81 per cent. in 2000-01, and maintain this level (95 per cent.) up to 2006, by locally applying the timescales in the National Adoption Standards, taking account of the individual child’s needs.”

    The period during which this target operated came to an end in March 2006.

    In addition, in 2004, the following Department for Education and Skills Public Service Agreement target was introduced:

    “To narrow the gap in educational achievement between looked after children and their peers, and improve their educational support and the stability of their lives, so that by 2008, 80 per cent. of children under 16 who have been looked after for 2.5 or more years will have been living in the same placement for at least two years, or are placed for adoption.”

    No individual targets have been set by central Government for local authorities, though some authorities have chosen to develop targets as part of the local area agreement/local public service agreement process. Individual local area agreements are published by the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA).

    More recently,John Hemming MP asked the following question in parliament:-

    Local Government: Standards
    John Hemming: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government which local authorities, classified by Government office region, have public service agreement (PSA) targets which include adoption targets; what the target for adoption is in each case; and how much money each local authority will receive if it achieves all of its PSA targets. [142138]

    Mr. Woolas: There are 61 reward targets in Local public service agreements and local area agreements which measure performance on adoption and/or stability of placements for looked-after children. Reward would be payable to Local authorities and their partners for achievement of these particular targets. Details on each target have been made available in the Library of the House.

    BBC News January 26 2007 – Babies ‘removed to meet targets – Babies are being removed from their parents so that councils can meet adoption targets, MPs have claimed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6297573.stm

    More than 20 MPs have already signed an early day motion deploring the taking of babies from their mothers not for their welfare but simply to enable social workers to meet their government adoption targets.

    EDMDetails-

    IMPORTANT EXTRACT FROM THE OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT SITE ABOVE.

    Courts At least half of current adoptions are contested although the contest seldom goes in favour of the birth parents. This inevitably causes delays and, indeed, delays may not necessarily be a bad thing if the issues are very complex. Court-based delays may also be caused by lack of available court time, or the courts requiring further re-unification attempts.

    Councils A lack of clear policies integrating adoption into the overall children’s plan. Budgetary constraints limiting the availability of post adoption services and allowances. There was also concern paradoxically that the needs of children may be overlooked in the struggle to meet targets. The more rural councils will struggle to run regular preparation courses to meet the assessment targets, even when co-operating with other agencies.

    Social Care Interest

    6. LAC(2001)33: Adoption

    On 5 December, Jacqui Smith, Minister for Health, made the keynote address at the national adoption conference – ‘Delivering the National Adoption Standards for England’. The Minister announced:

    the implementation timetable for the National Adoption Standards,

    and launched:

    an adopter recruitment toolkit; and
    a consultation document on collecting information about adoptive placement stability.

    The day provided an opportunity to discuss what needs to be done to implement the Standards and to share practical ideas how to make the Standards a reality. There was also a range of exhibits to disseminate projects funded by the Department through Section 64 grants.

    WHY DO THEY DO IT?

    “Surely”,I can hear you say “British Justice is the finest in the world,and I just cannot believe things are as bad as all that” and then you add “Social workers take up that profession because they want to help people , so how can I believe they turn into the sort of monsters you portray?” “Why on earth would they do the sort of things you say they do?”Well, if your child has a tragic accident,do not expect comfort or sympathy from social services! Expert instead a merciless attack and the removal of your other children !

    Here at last is PROOF that all concerned in “child protection” are receiving vast sums of money for work that can at best be described as “destructive” and at worst “criminal”……

    1: Fosterers typically £400/ week per child!
    2: Special children’s homes typically £7,000/ week per child!
    3: Lawyers and court costs typically £500,000 per case!
    4: Experts typically £28,000 for a simple report!
    5: Adoption agencies make £millions (£18,000/placement)
    6: Local authorities get £millions hitting adoption targets!

    1: BALLOONS AND FAMILY FUN TO PROMOTE FOSTERING
    Hundreds of balloons will be released from Slough town centre to mark a special event to launch Slough’s new fostering Allowance Scheme.

    Saturday, July 2 will encourage more people to consider becoming foster parents to local children and see the launch of a new fostering allowance of £400 per week.

    Between noon and 4pm, the Town Square will be bustling with activities including face painting and balloon modelling. Football fans should be sure to bring a camera as a David Beckham look-a-like will be ready to pose for photos.

    Janet Tomlinson, head of education and children’s services at Slough Borough Council, will make a short speech at 1pm before the balloon release.

    Team members from Slough’s Family Placement Services will be giving out fostering information including the fostering freephone number, car stickers, bookmarks, keyrings, wristbands and balloons.

    Janet Tomlinson said: “Fostering offers great challenges and great rewards. Even if you’ve never thought about it before, why not come down on July 2 to find out more?”

    The freephone fostering number is 0800 073 0291.

    2. DISPATCHES: PROFITING FROM KIDS IN CARE

    Channel 4, Thursday 25 November, 9pm

    In 2004, caring for Britain’s most vulnerable children is a multi-million pound industry. Children in care cost the taxpayer over £830 million pounds a year. That’s an average of £2,500 per child, per week – more than four times what it would cost to send a child to Eton. Yet many homes are failing to provide children with even a basic standard of care.

    In this programme, Dispatches goes undercover to investigate the consequences of the increased privatisation of residential children’s homes. The investigation reveals how homes are run by private businessmen charging social services departments enormous and unethical mark-ups on services – many of which aren’t even provided. Fees of £7,000 a week are not unusual yet Dispatches finds private children’s homes which are failing the children in many respects. Homes often use untrained, and sometimes unvetted, agency staff to look after some of the UK’s most at risk youngsters – many of whom have been the victims of abuse, prostitution and drugs.

    The current system is failing thousands of children a year. According to a recent report, three in five kids leave care with no qualifications at all. One in five will be homeless after two years and one in three of the current prison population has previously been in care. Tragically, some don’t make it at all, with approximately 60 youngsters dying in children’s homes every year.

    Information, advice and support for people who are in care, or have been in the past, can be found by checking out the following organisations and websites.

    -http://forced-adoption.com/guestbook.asp

    I AGREE- ETON SCHOOL WOULD BE CHEAPER AND FAR BETTER!

    5: FIRMS CASH IN ON SHORTAGE OF FOSTER HOMES
    Published: Sunday, 2 October, 2005, Evening Standard.

    LONDON: Private agencies are making millions of pounds out of a critical shortage of foster homes for children. Firms are charging councils on average £800 per child per week, an EVENING STANDARD investigation revealed.

    This amounts to £41,600 a year to find suitable homes for the most vulnerable children in society.

    One head of social services said: “It is cheaper to send the children to Eton.”

    London councils are so desperate to hold on to their foster parents that two are offering them free loft conversions – worth up to £30,000 – so they can take in more children. Britain’s largest independent agency Foster Care Associates had a £56mn turnover in 2003, the last year for which accounts are available.

    Its eight directors – seven of them social workers who set up the company 10 years ago – paid themselves total fees of more than £2.2mn as well as sharing pre-tax profits of almost £900,000.

    The directors awarded themselves on average £285,000 each – about 10 times the annual salary of a social worker.

    There is an estimated shortage of 10,000 foster carers across the UK. This has driven up the prices charged by the 150 or so independent agencies.

    It costs councils between £300 and £400 a week to place children with their own approved foster carers but they cannot meet the demand and have to turn to outside agencies. More difficult children can cost as much as £1,500 per week to place in foster homes.

    The problem is especially acute in London, where out of 11,500 fostered children up to one-third are found homes through independent agencies. Many of them are ‘dumped’ in outlying towns around the capital. A total of 60,000 children are fostered nationally.

    A spokesman at the department for education said: “We know there are too many children being placed outside of authorities. We commissioned a report last year looking at how we can reduce that number.”

    Out of the 11,500 fostered children in London, half of them are teenagers, about 3,000 aged eight to 12 and 2,500 aged under eight.

    Children are typically being sent from London boroughs to Kent, miles from their schools and friends. Some 330 problem children from London are being fostered in the Margate area.

    This has prompted the Kent child protection committee to compile a report, sent to ministers, warning the town is now at a ‘tipping point’ and branding the situation ‘explosive’.

    Paul Fallon, director of social services at Barnet council and spokesman for all London’s social services directors, said: “Every penny we spend on one child is a penny we can’t spend on another child. If I place a child with Barnet it is £400. But it costs me about double that to place a child in an independent placement.

    “It is a sellers’ market and that will impact on prices. We are stuck. It is cheaper to send children to Eton.”

    He estimated that in Barnet about 30 to 40 children – about 10% of the number needing foster care – are unaccompanied child refugees. They have helped to swell numbers of children needing placements, putting added pressure on social services.
