NURSING AND EDUCATION PLATFORM

It is known that there are restrictions in all countries, on what may be published by the press and also on Television or radio. Some countries are more strict than others.Even the content of  education is controlled, especially history.

They restrict publications  by threatening with court action, or discrediting the story, author or editor. Whilst there may well be genuine reasons such as protection of privacy of high profile people, there are also political reasons. Would it be in political interest here in the UK, to discuss certain issues?

Then how has the press in the UK, been able to offer such articles detailing poor care , many may ask? This has actually been an issue for years. It is thanks to Fiona Phillips and cure the NHS, that politicians/  agencies linked to them via funding at least, had to be seen to be acting. Similarly regarding such cases as Jimmy Saville. Few members of the public, had heard of the cases prior.

Many are so indoctrinated and mislead, that they refuse to believe any such reports of secrecy, whatever the political party. Logically, of course, some information will not be made public- claimed not to be in the publics best interests. Then what of Freedom of Information? There are several alternative news sites , which offer the truth, but in the UK, many of these are now gagged. Some may well argue, but can you trust alternative news sites? Indeed the government could establish one by which they offer their versions, or obtain details of contributors or commentators. It is known that emails and data base inputs can be tracked , or web sites removed.

In short, many already comment that they do not know who or what to believe anymore. George Orwell must have been a very clever man to prophecy the whole situation in the 1950s .
