Probably not, but they'd definitely patent the method.

Here's my improved version:

An analysis of policy, formed by corporate interests and pushed upon the public in the 1980s, shows how it deprived the current crop of young adults of social housing, under-invested in public healthcare, enabled predatory lending practices, distorted the tax system so that a disproportionate amount fell upon the lowest three deciles of tax payers and hobbled unions while outsourcing manufacturing to the developing world causing earnings to plummet.

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure

How amazingly unlikely is your birth

And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space

'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth!

I think at this point it needs both, remembering that the Lansley reforms have now set up a number of internal structures that were not there before and subsequent to that various fuckeries have been implemented so that the whole caboodle wouldn't collapse right away leaving the current lot of wankers holding the baby.

I think there's an argument for civilian administrators and managers to free up medically qualified staff to do things they are qualified for, what has to stop happening is the managers being able to dictate medical procedures to those doctors and nurses (and whichever other qualified practitioners there are.)

A similar situation is happening in universities where upper and upper middle class prats are swanning around with titles like vice chancellor and having grand ideas without any actual knowledge of how things get done in the lecture theatre.

tax chattle slavery

I'm guessing the concept is that we are farmed as cattle because we consume and then the money we earn that pays for our food and shelter all gets funnelled upwards to billionaires and as an added bonus we pay taxes to pay for a government which serves the billionaires' interests not ours.

It is notable that we all talk about being part of national economies now whereas we used to talk about being a part of society.

Probably should have voted based on the content of his character. Never mind they'll have another chance to do that in four years time. Although having said that he might be up against someone whose character is even worse.

It added that northern Iraq reported lower temperatures, with the lowest 44 degrees Celsius recorded in Duhok province.

Fuck that for a game of soldiers.
