The tax cut-hike

Filed under: Blog — lukeyah @ 11:50 pm

Argh, media, media, media! It’s one of the most powerful tools that change the thoughts of entire nations. It’s why corrupt regimes impose censorship. Obviously the clever politicians use it to better their ratings.

On the one hand most people seem to think the chancellor has increased the tax burden and Mr Cameron seems to think he’s cut it in a bid to gain popularity. What?!

The thing that really illustrates the demise of what was once a great colonising nation is not that fact that we spend most of our time watching other people live inside a house/on a marooned island, it’s actually that the best-selling newspaper is ‘The Sun’. Ok, so I haven’t picked it up for as long as I can remember but, come on… it’s The Sun.

I’m not a celebrity… but get me out of here anyway… please!

Not so magic 8 ball

Apparently, the spirits are taking a break. My 8 ball appears to return 6 simultaneous answers now. Could it be any more indecisive? This is not helpful. I mean, how will I ever make a decision again? No doubt your ouija board is broken, too.

So, the courageous duo made it out of court with a light rap on their knuckles. The nurse escaped with nothing and the doctor, a suspended one year jail term. and no criminal record (i.e. still allowed to practise). Interesting…

Euthanasia Law reform…

Filed under: Blog — lukeyah @ 6:08 pm

Ah, I see this French medical duo are attempting to fast-track Euthanasia law reforms. If/when I qualify, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t gamble with my job in this fashion. I can understand the arguments for Euthanasia but I wouldn’t undertake an illegal activity even if I believed it were the right thing to do if it risked my job and my freedom (30 years in prison doesn’t sound fun)… Is this me just being gutless and refusing to take a stand? I guess my opinion isn’t far from average, in part caused byt the increasing level of litigation that the medical profession in the UK is facing. Aligning ourselves closer to the US?

Links and stuff…

I’m not gonna write a huge rant today but there’s so much… As Iran develops its own nuclear technology the US appear to want to rain asteroids down on their enemies! I thought Star Wars was just the name of a cult film… apparently not!

Anyway, there’s a cool medphys (Medical physics) link below where you can pretend to be a medical physicist…

Plan Radiological treatment, do a colonoscopy and other exciting medphys stuff…

Toodles for now!
