I think that apathy rules where TTIP is concerned whitewave. Some people find it too complex to understand and, it's been my experience that they just can't or won't believe the power that huge corporations will have to overturn democratically reached decisions. When I tell people that a section of the TTIP treaty allows companies to sue a country's government if it considers its interests are being damaged they really think I must be mistaken. hmm

Just had an email from one of the petition web sites saying that there has been a leak and it is certain that USA companies will be able to get their hands on the NHS. So if you feel strongly about that they are requesting that we contact our MP candidate.
