Socialized Medicine Euthanizes 130,000 Old People per Year in UK
Some don’t see the close family resemblance between Nazism and modern liberalism, despite these siblings both having been spawned by the progressive movement of the early 20th century and even sharing common saints like Margaret Sanger. Maybe this will help:
NHS doctors are prematurely ending the lives of thousands of elderly hospital patients because they are difficult to manage or to free up beds, a senior consultant claimed [Monday].
Professor Patrick Pullicino said doctors had turned the use of a controversial ‘death pathway’ into the equivalent of euthanasia of the elderly.
He claimed there was often a lack of clear evidence for initiating the Liverpool Care Pathway, a method of looking after terminally ill patients that is used in hospitals across the country.
The LCP is a death sentence.
It can include withdrawal of treatment — including the provision of water and nourishment by tube — and on average brings a patient to death in 33 hours.
There are around 450,000 deaths in Britain each year of people who are in hospital or under NHS care. Around 29 per cent — 130,000 — are of patients who were on the LCP.
That’s quite a body count.
Pullicino has personally intervened — against significant resistance — to take patients off LCP who later recovered and went home. That is, he saved their inconvenient lives.
He won’t be there to save yours if Big Government continues to tighten its chokehold on our own healthcare system.

Logan’s Run is looking more and more prophetic…
I would argue that there is very little difference between a Nazi and a modern liberal. I can think of about two minor points were my comparison does not work. First is that Nazis were very nationalistic, where as a liberal would like to see more control turned over to the UN. Liberals deep down inside hate their own country. Nazis were big on uniforms and mass demonstrations, think of the Nazi rallies vs. Occupy Wall street. I Nazi could very easily pass himself off as a type liberal democrat, provided he did not openly call for the extermination of Jews in a concentration camp. Or speak of Hitler in glowing terms.
The leading cause of death is HOSPITAL!!!!
“Pullicino has personally intervened — against significant resistance — to take patients off LCP who later recovered and went home.”
God bless him.
This is the most troubling story I’ve read about Britain in a long while. Pathetic what that country has done to itself.

Socialist -You can’t spell NAZI without it!
What does it take to get put on the “Liverpool Care Pathway”. Is it simply being diagnosed with a terminal illness, or could other factors be taken into account, such as being an outspoken critic of the ruling party, or having a piece of property needed by the city council, or having been grandfathered into a rent-controlled apartment? It seems like a very convenient way to get rid of ‘inconvenient people’.
Well I hope they’ll at least turn them into green food for the rest of us!
@Sgt Stadenko: you may be thinking of Soylent Green, where old folks are euthanized then turned into food. In Logan’s Run, anyone over 30 was killed off. But the outcome is the same.
Just like Soylent Green and their Euthanasia Center at Madison Square Garden where old, cripped and depressed WENT HOME – to the Soylent Waste Disposal/Food Processing plant to be converted into people food!
Soylent Tea is made outta people!
All these “isms” (fascism, liberalism, communism, progressivism, etc.) have the same father, and it’s not Jehovah. The devil was a murderer from the beginning, and he started in earnest in Exodus, chapter one. He’s still doing his thing all these thousands of years later, but we are very close to the end of his reign as god of this world. And he is the father of the assault on America’s children by the sodomites.
