Not NICE at all

Key points on the drug price review: NICE currently assesses drugs and decides whether they are cost-effective and should be available through the country’s National Health Service (NHS).

All Souls Day

As this is a nocturne, you might like to come back to it this evening. This, to me, is the second most important day of the year and the most solemn after Good Friday.  Now you might not be Christian, Catholic or believe in the efficacy of prayer on this day but I look at [...]

Advertising

This blog takes a halfway position on the subject. While I do advertise, there are considerations of space in the sidebar and then I’ll only advertise products I like and if the people are nice.

How far can people be pushed?

Many people are beginning to seriously write about it.  Here’s David Farrer who quotes some Americans: People are angry: This nation is a powderkeg. These banks break into the wrong house down here and come up against an owner with a shotgun, the “securing company”‘s goon gets a load of 00 buckshot to the chest, [...]
