I can't wrap my head around that experience. The idea of whether to seek medical based on your bank account is barbaric. Even conservatives here aren't dumb enough to oppose it.

Saw this in the grocery store today. Pretty sweet that the Inquirer scooped all the Limey papers on this, and of course the lamestream media is covering it up over here.

I feel the same except the tower is too warm for them. And the way this country decides stuff nowadays it would take forever to hang them.
No they should be sent to some frozen wasteland. Without food and clothing but just to show my humane side they can have some KISS albums.

Re: Hey limeys
The suspense is killing me, but only about 5% as much as a Tory majority would. I'll be livid at the rotten bovine Brits if they come out in their diseased hordes for their dancing cretinous King.

it's gonna be darkly amusing when Labour picks up enough seats to put together a governing coalition but the Lib Dems opt to throw in with the Tories.
