Ed Miliband operation

[scotty]

Apparently his septum is stopping him from sleeping properly. And there was me just thinking he was hopeless...

From the article:

 

"The Daily Mirror had reported that Mr Miliband was to have his adenoids removed to improve his "bunged up" voice."

 

See - I WAS right

I laugh if he ended up talking like Stephen Hawking.

He still has a lisp.

Thats actually quite poetic, like a haiku or something. I'm quietly impressed.

Isn't the septum affected by heavy cocaine abuse?

Not 'deviated septum'

It is most frequently caused by impact trauma, such as by a blow to the face.

 

So its possible to do it by smashing ones face into the table while bending down to do a line?

How comes he has jumped to the front of the que for NHS treatment. I have been waiting months for my arthroscopy on my knee.

One rule for politicians and another for us harding working folk

or is he a member of BUPA

How do you know he's jumped to the front of the queue? He, too, could have been waiting for months and you don't know otherwise.

 

My other half had an arthroscopy and then surgery for a knee problem on the NHS, all within 6 weeks of seeing his GP. But that was about a year ago. Waiting lists have become longer in the past few months.

 

Oh and EM's op is being done on the NHS - read the BBC link above and you'll see that.

He should go private, he can afford it. The money spent on his op could then be used by the NHS. Bloody annoys me that rich politicans from both parties use the NHS because they feel it's politically right to do so . The more people that go private, the more NHS money for the rest of us.

At least he has a job I suppose.

Rubbish!

 

He believes in the NHS and would only be accused of being hypocritical if he paid for private treatment. Much as, in the same way, his parents chose state education for him and his brother.

 

And it's simply not true that the more people that go private means more NHS money for the rest of us. We would quite simply become like the US (who are trying hard to emulate what is generally considered to be the best national health service in the world). Private medicine cherry picks the safest operations and leaves the tricky ones to the NHS. Unfortunately, were that carried to the extreme, there would be no training in real medicine available to students. And training in emergency medicine would be severely compromised.

So £2K a month just magics itself into my account does it?

No tax on gambling winnings either. Bonus!

Proof if proof were needed - the benefits system is too easy to milk.

£2k? That's a serious amount of housing benefit for someone who lives with mum.

You've already said this about 100 times.

True. I mostly just post on the main board now though as it's all a bit silly.

He can have any operation he likes, he'll still sound like a ****.

Will he still look like Wallace, (of Wallace and Grommit).
