Let’s clear up one thing about the UK, like us or not (and frankly, it hardly matters who likes us; Europe certainly doesn’t so why not the States too? after all, France and the rest of the EuroSocializts are Washington’s new best friends, right? I mean look at the support they give the US in places like Afghanistan)

Anyway, I digress. The reason the UK government is so anxious about health care is to keep costs down. That’s all. The British NHS is under the microscope and as its costs rise the political flak is huge. The appeal of removing potential problems, like a tub of lard child – though I suspect that there are other things going on in that family which we may never hear about – or even the so-called “happy hour” to cut down on people binge drinking, means there are fewer costs at the point of focus. The costs of pulling a fat kid from poor parents, if that is what it is, is dispersed among other agencies.

A sort of cover up, but all governments are adept at it. “Policy reviews” are attempts to revise the Great Plan, and currently all five year Traktor Produktion plans are on course, as reported to our great helmsman Godron the Glum.

if there is one good reason that the US doesn’t go down our long and winding road it is the world needs someone independent to call a halt. Let’s hope on November 4th you didn’t pass up that chance to stand up for what is right rather than what seems like a good idea.
