It seems that Dan Hannan's speech may at last have had an effect that the Twitter, My space, etc, Aficionados had not foreseen. With so much comment being aired in the MSM about how furious the population was over the speech about the NHS, it has again got the public engaging with a subject that no-one has dared to talk about.
Today's Telegraph carries an article by Dan Hannan, stating why he said these things, and by the comments pouring in, people are beginning to wake up to the fact that maybe the NHS is not the sacred cow that is made out to be.
Those politicians who have jumped onto the bandwagon to condemn the broadcast may actually have woken up the sleeping public at long last.

Dan Hannan - That broadcast.
Having just seen that interview on U tube, the conservatives and the MSM have blown the part about the NHS out of all proportion. He was just re-iterating what most of us who have had loved ones admitted to Hospital, already know. It's not working. Just because something has been around for 60 years, doesn't mean that it works well.
The BBC is another case in point. They might look to their own record over the last few years.
They should be another Monolith that should be up for intense scrutiny

Defence
Just commented at Subrosa's site. She's just posted that more servicemen have been killed in Afghanistan.
I feel strongly about the lack of equipment that the services get.
All the time the politicians (small p) are using the Defense procurement agency as a tool to safeguard jobs in the party homelands, this is going to continue.
Why are we buying the new Lynx helicopter for double(or more), when we could buy american Blackhawks, now? A tried and tested Helo that can hold more troops and is better armed and protected.
Why have we continued with Eurofighter Typhoon (A cold war throwback), when we could have the american F18, IMO a superior aircraft? At far less cost
I could go on but you know the story, politicians aren't in the real world.
My answer is to send them to Helmand province,all 646 of them, as "The First battalion of the UK despoilers", and see how they whine then.
Hopefully we'll need a lot of Hercs to bring the bodies back.
Then again, that would be a waste of fuel.

Facebook: "Can we have our anti -smoking ban group back please?"
A new group has been started on facebook to re-affirm the public disgust at the blanket ban on smoking in pubs and clubs.
It would be interesting if the owners of facebook actually came out with a statement of why they removed the group in the first place. I wonder who lent on them?
Here is the link. Go on, join, you know you want to.

It's now an equal opportunities profession.
It would appear that begging has moved upmarket in these times, if this story in the Mail is to be believed.
Beggars cant be choosers. Or can they?
Plenty of helpfull hints in the comments on how to spot a well off beggar.
Beggars cant be choosers. Or can they?
The sight of a person in tatty clothes begging on the street is enough to elicit money from many well-meaning passers-by.
But, it was claimed last night, some 'beggars' could be office workers with homes who are topping up their salaries by earning £200 a night from donations.

Watching paint dry. Oops my mistake!
I just hate women. Especially my wife at the moment.
"Can you paint the new fence at the bottom of the garden?"
Off I go down to B&Q and spend 30 mins looking at all the fence paints, of all colours, textures and manufacturers. (maybe we can hold a fence painting olympics).
Anyway I choose Antique pine silk, and rush home to begin this labour of love.
3 hours later I have finished. (It's a long fence at chateau filthy engineer)
The question I'm asking is: Why did she wait till after I'd finished, to tell me she wasn't happy with the colour?
