Just saying sorry isn’t good enough

A centre-right think-tank says: “Pay to see your doctor!”
This is an eye-opener – refreshing and indeed fearsome all at the same time. The Tories – in their pledge to keep a free at the point of use healthcare system will charge people to see their doctor. Of course this will not mean any creep ...
I can say one word only. “Twat!”
If you ever wondered why “New” Labour were in such shit, have never represented the left, and are as ineffectual pieces of utter scum – read this: James Purnell is an utter twat! Seriously, read it – HE, and this is NOT a jok...

AV, STV, FPTP? The only thing that will make MPs listen is fear
