Lansley's health reforms are picking up where Labour left off:

I must add that one thing clearly distinguishes me from my fellow Greens like Darren and Jenny in the Assembly; I live with my parents, and my mom agrees with David Cameron that she would not oppose the privatisation of the NHS। In fact, she goes one step further than his opinion piece in the London Evening Standard saying that it's about what's best, not whether it's privatised। She would see everything privatised. Luckily it's not my mum but my dad who has helped with the printing and cutting of selection campaign literature.

The News Agenda

I watched today's news on the two main rival TV stations here. Both have the same headlines. It's amazing that UK news channels are sending the message that the editor doesn't have the power to set the news agenda different from the other channels.


Meanwhile the blogs and newsgroups send a different message. They are pluralist, democratic, but deeply divided with agendas which simply do not match up.
