		<title>NHS Database: All or Nothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I arrived home from work this evening to find a letter from the NHS.
This letter was informing me that unless I opt out by the 31st of May, the NHS will create a &#8220;summary care record&#8221; in their spangly new multi-billion pound database.  The pitch informs me that in the first instance only details of [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s time to do away with BMI and start using common sense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A year and a half ago I wrote about English PCTs weighing and measuring children and sending letters to parents telling them if their child is classed as obese on the fundamentally flawed BMI chart.
Back then I said:
The parents getting the “very overweight” letter will presumably put their child on a diet and the parents [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mark Pritchard MP getting his priorities right?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mark Pritchard, the Tory MP for Telford, has made a cryptic announcement on his website:
Under Parliamentary rules governing the pre-election period, this website will not be updated from 1st January 2010 until the General Election.&#160;
What rules say that a sitting MP can&#8217;t update their official website before an election has been called?  I&#8217;m not aware [...]]]></description>

		<title>Regionalisation putting lives at risk again</title>

		<title>Say England, Gordon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The MP for Kirkcaldy &#38; Cowdenbeath in Scotland standing in front of a British flag talking telling us his latest plan to balls up the English education system.

Perverse.
And does No Mandate Brown mention the country he&#8217;s talking about once in his 30 minute election address speech? Of course not!  But he does talk about:

		<title>Twat of the Week: Gordon Brown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s right, he&#8217;s done it again.  Despite a strong performance from Herman van Rumpy-Pumpy, El Gordo managed to maintain a convincing lead from early on in the voting and finished up with 62% of the vote in a head-to-head contest with the Emperor of the European Commission.

No Mandate Brown was nominated for using the death [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vote for English Votes on English Laws</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Let&#8217;s get this straight right now &#8211; I do not support English Votes on English Laws.  It&#8217;s an insult to our nation and a constitutional fudge that is doomed to failure.
It is, however, a recognition of more than a decade of institutional discrimination against England at the hands of the British establishment and the need [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where&#8217;s Wrighty?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the scum-sucking-pig-gate affair kicked off, David Wright MP has been a bit quiet not only on the Twitter front but I&#8217;m told his office telephone has been going unanswered when people are ringing for comments.
My spies tell me that David has been hauled over the coals but don&#8217;t worry, the Brownshirts haven&#8217;t sent him [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scum Sucking Tories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.  My MP (until May if he manages to hang on that long) David Wright has landed himself in a spot of bother with his inappropriate use of Twitter.  It was inevitable really, he&#8217;s been at it for some time now.

There&#8217;s been a bit of a tweetmeme going on throughout [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bloggers4UKIP: Another cast iron guarantee from Devious Dave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
According to ConservativeHome, &#8220;Cast Iron&#8221; Dave has given a cast iron guarantee that while he is Prime Minister the UK will never join the Euro.
Let&#8217;s hope this cast iron guarantee is more of a cast iron guarantee than the cast iron guarantee that we&#8217;d get a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

		<title>Bloggers4UKIP: Climate change religion is falling apart</title>

Just 3 months ago 41% of people believed in man-made climate change, now only 26% believe.  38% believe that climate change is not proven to be man-made when 3 months ago [...]]]></description>

Terry Pratchett has a rare form of Alzheimers and wants to shuffle off the mortal coil on his own terms, in a chair in his garden listening to music taking an overdose of painkillers with alcohol.  And why not?

If he wins, life will be unbearable for those of us who can&#8217;t stand the tantrum-throwing, anti-English, second rate Scottish tennis player.

The BBC will devote its entire schedule to the life and times of Andy Murray, the Sun [...]]]></description>
