Sounds good Bridge, full of whatever it is full of.

I agree with some of it too. (That pattern again.)

Perhaps we should ponder though for 2012 on what is happening over in reality land;

Freedom of Information Act means there is LESS threat of access without propaganda than ever before.

Equality Act means there is more chance than ever of being being treated equally regardless of whether you are a hatchback, saloon or coupe, what paint you were sprayed with or what engine you have under your bonnet, even which country you were assembled in so long as you have a V5 document from DVLA.

I reckon I know more about the healthcare bit than anything and whilst there are threats to the infrastructure of The NHS, the only disembowelment is by colorectal surgeons and they are allowed to do it, if you sign informed consent. Healthcare is sometimes perceived as being discriminatory but mainly by The Daily M*il, rarely by patients.

You see, we may be going to Hell in a handcart, but it is about not only cherishing what we have, but acknowledging when successive governments strengthen those social advances. Cameron may be wrong on many things and I could never vote for him, but I don't see him trying to repeal them. In fact, The Equality Act was introduced under the last government but voted through and enacted under this one. Hardly fitting his stereotype is he?

Stick to your first three words of each sentence, "We should celebrate." And try celebrating rather than getting all worked up over situations that are the exception rather than systematic.
