May I be Minister for Food with special responsibility for pies? Thank you.

Mark Wadsworth said...

TFB, I'd pencilled you in as "Minister for sacking two or three million superfluous public sector workers", but you can have Food as well if you want (do we really need a gummint department for food?).

Oh thank you Mr W, I'd be much happier sacking non-jobbers, it would help me build up a healthy appetite.

my grand parents described none whites in less than nice terms, my parents blame imigrants for all the countries problems. My generation drive big cars and fly everywhere my children think we are wrong for doing this even if there is a slight in provable risk. After all Ive not crashed My car but I still wear a belt. I assume from your attitude that you at 45 - 65 will be dead in the next 15 - 35 years so really it won't matter to youeither way. As long as you have your money it does not really matter what happens to the future generations.

I want Health. God, how much fun I'd have with the Smokefree regionals. ;-)

DP, where do you stand on health vouchers and de-nationalising the NHS?

Mr Wadsworth,

Your selections are admirable, but I must raise one point: So far you have named fifteen ministers and propose to name yet more.

A decent government should need no more than five (Treasury, Home Office, Foreign Office, Defence and Sacking Useless Mouths(temporary*)) all under a Prime Minister.

*Having reduced the Civil Service to about a tenth of its current size, this chap's final act in office should be to sack himself.

"DP, where do you stand on health vouchers and de-nationalising the NHS?"

Without wishing to appear like I'm giving answers that you wish to hear ... I think it's time the NHS was drastically cut back or even abolished. Vouchers would be a good way of achieving that, the internal market just doesn't work & the waste is horrendous.

... and don't get me started on the hectoring from GPs. If they were to be made to compete for 'business' then perhaps their attitude would be less judgemental.

RM, you're up for one of those five anyway, so don't be so mean to the others. To be on the safe side, I've got TFB and TA both in charge of 'sacking useless mouths and then retiring to the back benches'.

DP, OK, I'll do a quick reshuffle.
