Some Thoughts...

Thought #1:

So (current) Prime Minister Gordon Brown has announced that from some unspecified date next year, Cancer patients will no longer have to pay for their prescription medications. That's brilliant, excellent news. Does that mean that people with other conditions like Heart disease or Alzheimer's are less worthy?*

*In Wales and Scotland I understand everyone already receives free prescriptions, regardless of ailment or age, so why not England?

Thought #2:

Energy company EDF (Electricite de France) has announced it is to buy Nuclear generator British Energy. EDF is owned by the French Government. Am I the only one that doesn't think it is such a good idea to have all our Nuclear Power capabilities controlled by a foreign power, all be it a (currently) friendly one?

Thought #3:

A family friend ("A") has just been told she has quite advanced Breast Cancer. She's only in her 40's. She's just had a 2 inch lump removed and has been told she needs more surgery followed by an intensive 6 month course of Chemo. My thoughts are with her and the family.

Get yourselves checked out girls AND boys. Yes men can also get Breast Cancer.
