      The government rules are usually that their mates get the money.

        Same applies to the NHS as it stands. We need some more integrity driven investigative newspapers like the Daily Mail to name and shame

            I wonder if Greece still had a triple A rating would have been able to service it's debts.

            AA+

            A+

            Is it more important for an MP now to service that debt than the citizens who elected them?

                Hold the phone, we could have Deutsch insurance companies operating throughout the land before the end of the decade.

                I pay €575 for my families heath insurance every month. Get used to it, you get what you pay for.
