Mandelson's Profligacy

I thought this deserved a wider audience. Mandelson's department of Business, Innovation & Skills wrote off £30m of public money with another £70m due to be lost "in this and future years" because of contracts.

Why legal aid for MPs just adds insult to the injury

Organs removed without consent: Coincidence?

Do you recall, in 2008, when Brown hatched an organ donor scheme whereby, if you didn't explicitly opt out, and you snuffed it, your organs could be taken - without the NHS obtaining permission from your relatives. Implied consent.

The public was outraged, so the government quietly let the matter drop.

Or did it?

We now find that due to an alleged IT 'blunder', they've been whisking out people's organs, anyway - without consent from the 'donor' or permission from the donor's relatives.

Bear in mind that:

• they know that we know that their IT systems are lamentable;
• the organ donor business is big business;
• this government paid councils to for each child removed from its parents - i.e., no scruples.

I don't believe in coincidence - particularly when it involves this thoroughly rotten government.
