Unfortunately we have blind politicians who are stumbling into the TTIP alliance and trying to keep us in the dark. Cameron has gone after some of the campaign organisations trying to raise awareness and get petitions signed on line (like 38 degrees.)Suzanne Loomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051999973282339826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162155804584731572.post-76684210433739377712015-01-14T12:37:01.603-08:002015-01-14T12:37:01.603-08:00All is hunky-dory until that little word corruptio...All is hunky-dory until that little word corruption enters into the equation. This article is fine but can we trust the mighty corporation to act with moral compass and truthfulness in dealing with the TTIP issues. I for one think not as if we look at the track record of multi-nationals and how they operate, we soon see that they will do absolutely anything for profit and the bottom-line. Therefore if we could trust the corporations and how they operate maybe we could accept that the nice old corporation will play fair, but we cannot based upon track history. As a single example the pharmaceutical industry where over the last 8 years alone they have paid out-of-court settlements amounting to over $20 billion. It is as though they have factored in corruption costs and know that they will eventually be found out - http://worldinnovationfoundation.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/global-pharmaceutical-giants-have-made.html<br /><br />Also, The TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) will be an Absolute Disaster for the People of the EU (European Union) and the People of America (USA) in the long-term - We simply have to Vote AGAINST this behind closed doors Transatlantic Trade deal before it is signed up and too late for the People to do anything about it - http://worldinnovationfoundation.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/the-ttip-transatlantic-trade-and.html<br />World Innovation Foundation Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331498772929399180noreply@blogger.com
