Doctors in the U.K , have been recently awarded a big pay rise , in return for them promising to improve their services , and of course several months later this hadn’t happened , so of course good old British public opinion has now shamed them in to it doing it.
So you can imagine my surprise when I heard an advert on the radio- extolling the virtues of this new and improved service a few weeks ago , and it implied that the improved opening hours and access was a bright idea dreamt up by the health trusts themselves , and was to be immediately implemented !!!
Hmmmm - I’m sure this would be called propaganda , in certain other
circumstances :)
There’s also an advert on the radio as regards - The Police Pledge , and I’ll set the scene for this one………………………..
I go to the Police ran sports centre , and more often or not its me and 15 police officers in there , and I also notice a lot of coloured crowns on the uniforms denoting high rank too , so we were all merrily exercising away , when the pledge comes on the radio .
The pledge basically consists of – ” listening to the public and doing something about it “
…………errrrr …… is this just me , or are we pointing out the bleedin’ obvious
here , and using public funds to do so , my peripheral vision and of course the audible groans of disbelief , told me I was probably not entirely alone in those thoughts – either :)
The next item on the radio , was the news , and that - oh so cheerily reported - our local police force are employing officers with criminal records , including grievous bodily harm ! …………………..never rains but it pours ………….doesn’t it …..:)
