The Scottish Attitude to Death

Burke and Hare are stepping out again.  How long before Brown's  £20,000 tax on the estates of the minimally prudent, the decent, those who have sought to ensure they are not a burden on their families in old age and death, attracts the right to die, the assisted suicide, the helping-them-on-their-way, brigade?

Gosh, I wouldn't like to be old and frail in the United Kingdom.

HG,

Indeed; and if you haven't, and want to get more depressed, read The Huntsman's article linked to by you.

That done, read Danny Finkelstein's article from The Times - Brown the Liar

and pour yourself a large gin to recover.

It's a horror show, and Cameron is as much use as a wet blanket.

Huntsman isn't usually depressing E, he clops about looking at the bigger picture on a large, flarey-nostrilled horse.

Still, I have a vodka in hand (couldn't find the gin so this will have to do), and found after one sip that I had strongish feelings about General Motors and Opel.

Mr Cameron must have our vote; and to balance things out we must vote for the best candidate in local elections, who may be of any party or none.
