You couldn't make it up part deux:

From the Daily Express online:

Prescriptions free... if you live in Wales
26/01/07
By Gabriel Milland, Political Correspondent
Anger was growing last night over Britain’s two-tier health service after prescription charges were abolished in Wales. Anyone registered with a Welsh GP will get their drugs and medical supplies free from April 1st, but patients in England and Scotland will continue to be charged £6.65 for each item.....

The government keep saying how they want the Union to stay together, this isn't going to help is it? Who's going to end up paying for this?? No offence to our cousins in Scotland and Wales, but Scotland already has more money spent on them per person than the English do. I'm proud enough to have both my daughters at University. They have had to take out loans to finance their education. If they lived in Scotland they wouldn't have too. Now Wales are getting free prescriptions.
When are the English going to get a bit of a perk? Council elections are coming up in the next couple of months. Aren't New Labour bothered about buying our votes??
Oooops, better not be controversial. The sooner the rugby season starts the better, too many things recently are pi**ing me off!

Your last two articles just highlight what I've been thinking a long time. Our country is falling apart at the seams.
I try not to comment on politics but I am totally fed up with so many issues, I think history will eventually show how bad this era of government has been.
I honestly am seriously considering getting out and living elsewhere, I don't feel like growing old in a country with soaring crime rates and in terminal decline.

A lot of people are emigrating. My boss has just gone on holiday to visit some pals in Perth, Australia. They've been over there about 5 yrs, and have already got a building business and making a packet. You have to work hard there but the rewards are immense.
The thing with this country is its being governed by crooks with ego's as big as Blackpool tower. One of the (many) probs with Blair is he picks people that agree with him, not if theyre good at the job. The mans a menace! I've always said it too, and just not jumping on the bandwagon!
Rant ends lol.
