Quite co-incidentally I had a prescription review with my GP's pharmacist last night and she told me that pharma companies take out a patent when the potential product is little more than an idea and it can then take 20 years to develop it to a level where it is saleable which means that they only have five years in which to recover their costs until the patent expires.

Essentially the patent owner is compensated, but at a much lower rate than the profit they would be making. And don't forget that around 80% of the research that Big Pharma relies on come from state bodies. Corbyn has said he would threaten not to hand over that research if they don't comply. Although I'm sceptical as to how we can stop them, I also know what impact in can have on a family when they have to start paying for life-saving medicine. Big Pharma are some of the most amoral, money-driven murderous b@stards around and it's about time they were held to account.

4 day working week......? Seriously? How on earth do they get enough tax from that? How are firms going to be competitive on a 4 day week? Public pharmaceutical company......I see some sense in this. Abolishing private schools......mixed feelings....strong arguments on both sides. This is one of the biggest pieces of legislation brought before parliament in a generation, so it's worth reading up on. It's not simply about transitioning to a new energy source: it's a comprehensive plan to preserve local wildlife, incentivise companies to use recycled materials, prohibit the degradation of our food, and break up the financial interest groups that rely on oil money and dominate our economy. Here's some extra info. [Link]
