The 'unsinkable' Gordon Brown

Gordon has defied the critics by keeping his job this week despite the current intense heat of British Politics, but what exactly has he done wrong, and what are the consequences of his weakened position? Gordon Brown has apparently ridden the waves of a rumbling storm over the way he has been freely berating his colleagues who have been caught short by the MP's expenses row. He was not however first the one to 'strike a blow for justice' over this issue as David Cameron beat him to the draw... Read Full Story

Bank of England expresses concern

Bank of England Governor Mervyn King states that the UK economy is 'more uncertain then ever' describing the level of Government debt as 'extraordinary'. According to leading economists the UK will sink into more debt than any other developed country in the world next year. If this were coupled with an upturn in the economy in general then you could offset the cost against tangible results, however although some industries are reporting stability, there are likely to be significant job...

0845 NUMBERS COULD BE BANNED FROM GP SURGERIES

From:  08direct.co.uk
Ministers increase pressure on GP’s to stop using 0845 and 0844 numbers in their surgeries. Ministers have launched an England-wide consultation to ask the public whether they want GP surgeries to keep their 08 numbers. Over 1000 surgeries across the UK are now using 0844 and 0845 numbers . These numbers generate a small amount of income for the practices, which is then spent on improving patient services. These lo-call rate 08 numbers cost up to 5 pence a minute from a landline, and...

Dead Man Walking

I wonder if any parliamentarian mutters the words “Dead Man Walking” every time they see Gordon Brown walking down the halls of Westminster! I’m guessing it was said many times yesterday as he walked in to the House of Commons ahead of Alistair Darlings very disappointing budget speech that cost everyone even more money. The Bookies had put odds of 250/1 on the budget that Gordon Brown would kiss Darling after he had completed his Budget Speech – they were right – no kiss was witnessed, but... Read Full Story

How do NHS managers spend so much time on idiotic interventions?

Is this what we are paying our taxes for? Some post-modernist inspired linguistic 'right-on' management that insists that Nurses should avoid calling elderly patients Dearie becasue it is alledgedly patronising. Are you telling me that experienced nursing professionals don't know how to deal with patients? Come off it. They are the best in the world! So how much empirical evidence has been collected on this major threat to the provision of health care in the country? I imagine diddly squat... Read Full Story

Oh dear it’s Old Labour at the Labour party conference!

Like me you are probably sick of the state of this country. If its not rising crime, rising unemployment, rising prices well above the already high 4.9% official inflation stated, rising taxes, the awareness that our pollution per head is higher than ever before and now we’re officially more crowded per square km than the Netherlands because of rising Immigration (most of which is illegal)! You would think it strange that New Labour would bother to have a conference right now like they do... Read Full Story
