! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
A man living in England is considering moving to North Britain so that he can get a cancer treatment that he is not allowed in England.
The man, who is in remission from a rare terminal bone cancer, wants to be prescribed Velcade when his cancer comes back but the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) won’t allow it to be prescribed in England.
The drug is available free of charge in North Britain where the health system is subsidised extensively by the English taxpayer.
Unfortunately for the man involved, you have to live in North Britain for 3 years before you qualify for the special medical treatment that your taxes are paying for.

Surely that’s an infringement of human rights somewhere along the line? Get that man a lawyer…
Better still get that man a paypal account. I for one will donate a tenner towards provate treatment…
(yes I know it’s not much but times are hard)
What’s a mans life to Labour, thousands have already been sacrificed for Tony Bliars redemption in Iraq.
What a good thought a give to this poor fellow, who needs an expensive drug to keep him healthy. If English hating Liebour won’t help him, why can’t we dip into our pockets,
what’s £10, onle the price of a takeaway curry !
