    No we don't eat animal blood. Our meet is 'hung' to drain the blood out, A rare steak will never be bloody like a French one. Saignant = bloody = rare. I have seen French recipes that drain the blood out of a chicken to thicken the gravy. Something we never do over here.

    Bureaucrats don't work for the NHS.

    In late 1995 my wife had a brain haemorrhage and was taken to our local hospital then transferred to the Atkinson Morley hospital in London, then the leading brain hospital. It was thought she would not survive, and was in IT care for a week or so. The whole time she had a dedicated nurse at for bedside 24 hours.

    When my sister moved to the Isle of Wight, for those that don't know is is a small island off the south coast of England. When the Romans were here they called it Vectis. My brother in law was a senior manager in the NHS there and he said to my sister "I have just seen one of your relatives in the hospital." One of my dad's relatives. She had been in a vegetative state all her life and was I believe in her late teens,

    Don't be ridiculous. I know a number of people over that age who have had them and Hip transplants. My wife's old piano teacher had a hip replacement at 94, just a bit short or the queen mother at the time who was 96 if I remember correctly.

    When I worked in a London Newspaper, the Telegraph was called the Daily Bellylaugh. All the papers had nicknames but I can't remember them all.

    When my wife was in the Atkinson Morley, the was a man there in a vegetive state. He had his family there and wife and ex wife. The ex wife said "He is brain dead and they are only keeping him going till the priest comes and gives him the last rites". Later Congregational minister came and saw him. The ex wife said "At least he prayed over him." Then the Catholic priest turned up and she said "Look at him, he looks as if he has just been gragged out of the pub. The priest said a bit of mumbo jumbo, then they all went home. Not what I wanted to hear when my wife was so ill.

    Working for a newspaper meant you didn't trust any of them.

    When I later worked for the General Medical Council, you didn't have much faith in the medical profession. Especially American medics. When I asked why US medics found it hard to get registered in UK, I was told that it seems many can buy their qualificationsl

    The toddler should have been allowed to go out of the country. Under socialism, the doctor does not work for the patient but the government. There is no compassion in socialized medicine.

    The compassion was misplaced in this particular situation
