Is it Goodbye to the Generals!


Unfortunately Aung San Suu Kyi has a massive task in front of her should she win the elections. People think that will resolve a lot of problems very quickly and lives will get better. But as she says it takes time.
They have been fifty years waiting, Peter Popham wrote in "The Independent" on Weds 17th June.
Suu says that "Our country is like a poor family in which parents and children must work together to improve family life. Our country lags behind other countries. We will have to try hard.
Everybody wants money and a comfortable life including me" says Suu Kyi,
Her husband and children were able to visit her in September and the she won the Nobel Peace Prize which one of her sons joined in to accept as her husband was too weak, fighting cancer she was unable to get to see him at the end. If anyone has seen the movie"That Lady" they will know the horrors that befell her and her bravery in which she placed her family second for the love of her country. We all hope we can be assured hat this Lady is the next  leader!!

Organophosphates

I went to Parliament on Wednesday June 10th for an Amendment debate given by Jessica Morden from Newport South on organophosphates. This was instigated by a constituent that had been affected by the age of 17 having sheep-dipped.
I was working on our farm in South Wales and dipping sheep and I believe that the sheep dip was instrumental in the M S I now suffer from, I was a teacher and a dancer and my ability for balance and my cognitive ability have been effected. A friend asked if doctors have any medical evidence for this, but I believe all over the country there is evidence by sheer numbers that there is. I feel that the warnings given by the manufacturers were not adequate.
The reason governments or pharmaceuticals won't admit to this there would be many writs for compensation. I just want someone to say that organophosphates have caused untold damage.
