LBGT UK

Northern Ireland is now the only part of the British Isles where LGBT people can't get married, and two ladies who live there are testing this stance in the courts.

 These two have pioneered before, being the first Lesbian couple in the UK to enter into a civil union.

At that time the local religious bigots (and ulster has more than it's fair share of them) protested at the venue.

Apparently they held up placards proclaiming "sodomy is sin". Bearing in mind that "sodomy" is usually taken to mean anal intercourse, leads me to the view that these people don't quite understand the nature of a lesbian sexual relationship.

Spot the difference

"Calfwit Hunt"..................I quite like that.

So which of the above two do you suppose is more deserving of being turned into veal?

Thank fuck for that!!

We can all breathe a sigh of relief as the prospect of that utter loon Tredinnick chairing the health select committee sinks into the mist. He lost out to Dr Sarah Wollaston by ten to one.

DZ is nonetheless concerned that this utter buffoon actually got 64 votes. That's 64 members of parliament so utterly scientifically illiterate and pathologically stupid that they thought Tredinnick an appropriate choice. Dr Wollaston has been known to deviate from the party line on NHS matters and this may be the reason why some MPs voted against her. Either way it demonstrates the contempt with which some MPs view the medical profession.

Although the numbers of votes are in the public domain I don't know if we're allowed to know the identities of those MP's who voted for Tredinnick. I for one would love to know who's on that list. In particular I'd love to know which way that calfwit Hunt voted.

Spoilsports

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, (MERS) is a disease DZ had never heard of till today. I suspect not many other doctors have heard of it either, as it was only first described 3 years ago. There has been something of an outbreak of it lately and the WHO are taking it very seriously. Worldwide there's been a staggering 8 cases.

So, what vital advice are the WHO giving to people to help safeguard them from this condition? Apparently we are advised we MUST NOT drink camel urine!!!!

Oh fukkit, that puts a spoiler on my entire weekend!

Another man with his head up his arse

This is Dr Dan Poulter. He is medically qualified, but has spent precious little time working as a doctor, having been a politician most of his working life.

So why is DZ of the opinion that he's a twat? Could it be that he has wholeheartedly supported the Tory party in their every ill informed interference with the NHS? He has, but that's not the reason. Could it be because he's been deeply involved with every hostile act against the medical profession brought in by the government? Every deterioration in pay, pensions and  conditions he totally supported. Again, not the reason, though certainly true. Could it be because he is a supporter of the hated and stupid concept of revalidation? No, though that would be enough. Is it because he's a self aggrandising liar. No, not even that.

The reason DZ thinks this man is a worthless waste of protein is because of a recent act of supreme folly. An act which indicates he's both dangerously ignorant, and contemptuous of his own profession. What this utter fuckwit has done is to nominate this man as a candidate for chairman of the House of Commons Health Select Committee. Is he taking the piss?!

More snouts in the trough.

This is Dr Mark Porter. A suit full of bugger all, who heads up what is probably one of the least useful organisations in Britain. He's looking pretty pleased in this picture, and so he should. The BMA council, which he chairs, has just given him a 97% pay rise. Those of you who pay £440 a year subscription may wish to reflect that it takes the subscriptions of no less than 390 of you to pay his new annual salary of £171,000 pa.

Hypocrite!!

I see that that lying scumbag Hunt has been shooting off his mouth again, claiming that agency staff are "ripping off" the NHS. He claims such staff are claiming £3500 per shift. But he doesn't actually say how long the shift was. In my experience hourly agency rates for Consultants remain firmly in two figures. I suspect Hunt simply doesn't like the fact that he can't screw agency doctors & nurses like he does regular staff. So he has decided to cap agency rates. It remains to be seen at what level the cap will come in, but if it's as low as I expect I, and I suspect many others, will simply not do the work. See how the NHS functions with no-one to fill the empty slots Hunt you turd.

I notice that Hunt and the rest of the Westminster parasites are not having their pay capped.

Aniversary

While we're on the subject of weather, today, 2nd June, marks the 40th anniversary of snow falling in the month of June in England.

Whither weather, whether or not.

If you are interested in the weather, and what Brit isn't? then reading today's papers could have you wondering what is going on. The Independent is typical of most papers. Today it gives two separate reports that, spliced together, indicate torrential rain, with low temperatures, and winds of up to 70mph, followed from Wednesday by a heatwave of up to 30C. So I've had a look at the BBC weather site and put in the forecast for a number of areas, most of which are the same. Daytime temperatures from 14C to 23C, and wind speeds (mph) 8 to 20. Pretty ordinary really.

So are they all just making it up as they go along. If that's the best they can do looking over the next week no wonder people are skeptical about the catastrophic pronouncements predicted for the future. Interestingly Dr Ellis, who has predicted the inundation of Hull is described by the Independent as "an expert", yet then admits he is in fact "head of policy at the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA)" Bit of a tenuous link to climate change expertise I think. I wonder if Dr Ellis is related to Harold Camping.

And I'm continuously told I've just experienced the hottest year on record, when I distinctly remember the weather, especially through the summer, as being shit. I remember the summer of 1976. Don't tell me last year was hot.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
