Gross domestic product fell by 0.6% compared with the previous quarter, better than the previous estimate of a 0.7% contraction. The original estimate produced by the Office for National Statistics had indicated a 0.8% decline.

Examples of death and injury caused by bureaucratic rationing. Friday, 29 July 2011. Rationing's Back In Fashion! Health service trusts are “imposing pain and inconvenience” by making patients wait longer than necessary. In some cases as long as four months, the study found. Executives believe the delays mean some people will remove themselves from lists “either by dying or by paying for their own treatment”. Claims the report, by an independent watchdog that advises the NHS. And this surprises people?

Across the roads and down the lanes. It stopped the traffic and the trains. It stopped the airports and the stations. An inch of snow has stopped the nation. That’s all it takes to make us stop. No work today no way to shop. The powers that be had one whole day. To keep the white stuff at bay. Links to this post.
