First Guest?
My first guest post at HP has been put up
It’s on the topic of Ama Sumani and her inexcusable treatment at the hands of the Home Office.
I was provoked into this post and by an attitude that I perceived.
That attitude, although not fully articulated, implies that one, that other people’s human rights are of lesser value when they conflict with our own daily lives or an organisation close to our heart (in this case, the NHS). Secondly, it is interesting to see how often the NHS is viewed as a scarce resource and how some form of utilitarianism should be employed to preserve it, without addressing the real issues.
The thread at HP provoked some heated discussion, look out for Mettaculture’s contributions, he said all that I could wish to say and much more, with far greater eloquence, his posts are always worth a read.
A nice piece Modernity, and one that I agree with.
