Daily Mail: A Skewed Sense Of Values

Sake.

Constantly updated by Mail Online, we are now on the 'promiscuity pill'.

If, like Cuba, we demanded or made generic drugs, the cost would be negligible.

PS The NUJ has responded to today's Daily Mail front page that refers to HIV medicine as a 'lifestyle drug' under the headline ‘What a skewed sense of values’.

Michelle Stanistreet, NUJ general secretary, said:

"LGBT NUJ members have contacted the union today in response to the Daily Mail’s front page this morning which chose to regurgitate out-dated homophobic tropes that we had hoped had gone away by now.

"It is not just gay men who are affected by HIV and medicine is not a lifestyle choice.

"It is deeply troubling that the Mail continues to pit members of the public against each other when accessing healthcare - the NHS should be adequately funded by the government so it can care for all of us."

Well done the NUJ, my union.

PPS Some interesting letters in The Times (then they start wanking on about Sharia Law and Melanie Phillips again).

Tory scum.

PS Nigel has only got one ball, the other... etc etc.

People's March For The NHS: A Day Out

Our Alan is supporting The People's March For The NHS.

It culminates with a rally in Trafalgar Square on Saturday September 6th.

See if you can guess who they've booked as the headline speaker?

PS Whilst in Oxford recently, Fagburn saw the fountain pen Alan wrote with til The Madness of George III, stood outside TE Lawrence's old house, and played a theremin. This bucket list is getting ever shorter!

NHS: 1948-2012

Government of the millionaires, by the millionaires, for the millionaires.

National Blood Week: If You Want Blood...

"One month on from the first ever National Blood Week (13-19 June), NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) today released new figures* showing that between 13-26 June almost 100,000 people across England and North Wales pledged to give blood, including more than 20,000 first time donors.
"During National Blood Week, NHSBT issued a call for 10,000 people to donate blood after new data showed there had been a 20% drop in young regular donors over the last decade raising concerns for the stability of blood stocks in the future..."

NHS Blood And Transplant news release.
I wonder if any of our readers can think of another way that the NHS could dramatically increase the number of people who donate blood?
