# I would say that's a fair enough comment to make to be honest
but forgive us for being completely fucking outraged with our money being outrageously spent on MP's moats, duck houses, 'second homes' hanging fucking baskets, or whatever; just a hint even the docile public realize they have been treated like mugs before these 'expenses' were made public

But those Conservative MEP's exclaiming the NHS is shite really sums all this up; vote for that if you think Brown is a wanker; or stay the course and have a little faith; these were troubled times for anyone to be in charge; i'm not convinced he is the best man for it, but conservatives certainly aren't

# That MEP had a very far right view
I doubt most Tories agree with him. The NHS isn't going anywhere.

# "The NHS isn't going anywhere"
Well it's going further than lots of American humans who can't afford insurance cover in the States; which is a pathetic spectacle to behold a nation that can afford twelve nuclear powered aircraft carriers, and have to rely on the charity of medical staff working as volunteers

Such a society seriously sickens me

# I in no way endorse the behavior of the majority of MP's recently, I'm as outraged as the next man at the manipulation of the system by those at the top.
I would be equally annoyed if I saw a competition put up by say the conservatives criticising the labour party and I imagine that that wouldn't be greeted so well by users. I liked to look at this site as anymans place for posting what they like.
I saw the competitions as people's opportunity to think of something funny on a specific issue rather than a sponsored platform to push one spicific political idea.
Though to St's and jamnogs points i understand if the makers want to cash in a bit as it's probably not the most profit generating websites. It is his right to do what he likes with the site but i feel that one of the reasons I like to visit this site has been tarnished. Don't get me wrong I'm not leaving yet, just feel slightly saddened.

# I see your point
but finding a new image challenge is, I'm sure, never easy (i rarely enter because I'm not funny); so this is a new angle because there is a prize. I don't think it is the way B3ta is going: it is a one off for fun. I'd hate a Sponsered Comp every week: but that won't happen.

I hope.

# It's quite funny watching the reaction
to the comments about the NHS, from the other side of the channel. Hannan didn't say he wanted to do away with universal healthcare, he just said that the NHS isn't the best model. Anyone thinking the NHS is the best model hasn't experienced continental healthcare standards and probably doesn't realise what they're missing. No offence to the doctors and nurses of the NHS, as it is not their fault that they are underresourced and suffering from too much bureaucracy. Nothing wil change, though, because it's being handled the same like immigration, debate is stifled by immediate misrepresentation and polarisation of any negative views.
