Just seen our glorious leader posing outside 10 Downing Street with an unmatched collection of dullards, makeweights, knaves, thieves, varlets, lunatics, nonentities, tramps, vagabonds and assorted oxygen thieves and skin-wastes, a simpering buffoon today launched the most exciting exercise in direct democracy since the last instalment of “Britain’s got come on its X-factor”.
In a move that any sane person would describe as “electoral suicide”, our beloved Prime Minister today reminded the world that he bears ultimate responsibility for the fact that the goggle-eyed, blinking lunatic Ed Balls directly influences what your children are taught; that the head of Slytherin House is responsible for all business regulation; that a man who makes Geoff Hoon look like a model of competence is now in charge of the military; and that he actually has a Minister for Misandry.
Amongst many other awful things.
Meanwhile, the leader of the official opposition has been outlining this week’s election strategy with lots of well-rounded phrases to highlight that the primary differences between his party and that of the governing party is that he can speak with passion and authority. And by the way, does not have any of those awful cabinet ministers in his team. Fortunately for us, he has his own shining team of dullards, makeweights, knaves, thieves, varlets, lunatics, nonentities, tramps, vagabonds and assorted oxygen thieves and skin-wastes.
And apparently there’s another big party, although no-one knows anything about them.
It’s all so exciting, especially the prospect of sweeping reform and major changes to the way things are done in this country. As for me, I’m hoping that a sensible party is standing in my constituency – like the Monster Raving Loony Party.
The Conservative shadow health team this week announced two new policies to help fund drugs for patients with rarer cancers – a boost in funding for drugs that are rejected by NICE, and reform of the current drug funding system so that patients can be given off-label cancer drug treatments.
Under the Tory plans, the money would come from savings the NHS would make as an employer by raising national insurance by less than Labour in 2011, and from money saved through ‘cash-releasing efficiency savings’.
Unveiling the new policies, David Cameron said: ‘We want to get more drugs to people more quickly and in the UK today there are some people, thousands of people, who want a certain cancer drug whose doctors tell them they should have a certain cancer drug who don’t get it.’
‘So we are saying because we are not going ahead with this National Insurance increase, that will save the NHS money and we are going to put that money into a cancer drugs fund.’
But Professor John Appleby, chief economist at the King’s Fund, said the plans rested on using cash the NHS did not currently have.
‘This is like making a saving on a tax that hasn’t been implemented yet, so it’s not a cost that the NHS has to bear at the moment,’ he said.
‘It’s a sleight of hand in the sense that the money isn’t there to be saved yet, so the money will have to come out of existing budgets.’

Well, Irish interest in the British election is as keen as ever, and THE IRISH INDEPENDENT ran with this editorial this morning..
AFTER just one day, the British election campaign is already looking lively, with economic issues taking centre stage. The opposition leader, David Cameron, was able to taunt Prime Minister Gordon Brown in the House of Commons yesterday when 60 leaders of industry declared their opposition to Labour plans for a new payroll tax to fund public services.
Then the OECD predicted that Britain would pull out of recession ahead of many of its rivals, and Labour rejoiced in this “vindication” of its policies.
Touche; so it’s all square with four weeks still to go.Gordon Brown must have wondered many times if he would ever lead his party into this election.
David Cameron has waited even longer as leader for a campaign which is expected to be the closest for many years, with a hung parliament a distinct possibility.
Polls place the Conservatives ahead of Labour, but by an insufficient margin to guarantee an outright majority.
The Tory leader likes to tell the electorate: “You don’t have to put up with another five years of Gordon Brown.”
If David Cameron is to deliver that, the task he faces is formidable.
He will have to persuade more people to switch to the Conservatives than any other Tory leader has done since 1945 if he hopes to move into Number 10.To win the election with an outright majority, David Cameron must gain a national swing of 6.9pc from Labour to the Conservatives.
Even Margaret Thatcher only managed a 5.3pc swing in 1979.
