POPSAmerica has no right to speak ill of our NHS Great article continues at source: "It is the one thing, in our digital, atomised, privatised, multi-ethnic age, that unites us; our irreducible essence, the very best of us. Healthcare free at the point of delivery is the principle upon which every politician across our spectrum — marginal self-publicists such as Daniel Hannan aside — now agrees. The NHS ministered to David Cameron’s brain-damaged son as tenderly as to Gordon Brown’s fatally ill infant girl. It shows that decency, fairness and compassion, the national traits we fear died with nobler generations, live on. That America does not have universal health-care, that 47 million of your citizens live in fear of getting ill, appals and, frankly, baffles us."

POPSTwitter campaign to defend NHS against US attacks I just checked and it's not April Fools Day ... I'm amazed Americans are using false information in order to prevent them from receiving health care even after their medical 'insurance' refuses to pay for treatment or cancels their insurance and they are unable to purchase health insurance anywhere. The level of baseless fear -- fed by the American corporate medical system via millions of dollars in commercials and propaganda solely to protect their profit machine -- is well beyond my comprehension.

POPSCSI Myths: The Shaky Science Behind Forensics It will take years to fully reconcile the rigors of the scientific method with the needs and processes of the judicial system. But in the meantime, questionable forensic science will continue to tip the scales of justice. And when bad decisions are made in the courtroom, an innocent person’s entire life can be swept right out from under him.

POPSCompulsory volunteering Apart from the small issue that clearly this Scotsman doesn't speak English terribly well (although he also probably believes in the concept of honest politicians or intelligent government), the general concept of encouraging people to do some community service is good. Apart from a couple of issues - people who insist others should do some community work should, and I really mean should, do at least as much comunity work first to prove they aren't just seeing it as a means of gaining cheap labour. The entirity of our political system should do at least 50 hours community work before they pass this bill. The other thing is that "community service" is a well established punishment. How would you feel if JohhnyX, 21, down the road got sentenced to 30 hours community service for some misdemeanour, whilst you as an innodent, fresh faced young 17yr old suddenly got sentenced to 50 hours because some idiot in Government thought it would bring in a few votes?

POPSGordon Brown Wants UK To Be The International Financial Center For Sharia Products This would threaten free business if they are in conflict with Sharia Law. As Melanie Phillips puts it: Acceptance of Sharia finance furthers the Islamist objective of gradually legitimising Islamic Sharia Law more generally in the west (...). The most important point to grasp is that Islam recognises no authority superior to sharia. http://www.melaniephillips.com/ To know more about Sharia finance, check out the Shariah Finance Blog. http://www.shariahfinancewatch.org/blog/

POPSIrony Alert OK, confession time. I've been somewhat slack in my studies of Czech politics. Yet it seems odd that the Czech PM was just presented a vote of non-confidence by his parliament and turns around and offers advise to the EU on the monetary world crisis. His stance is eerily similiar to the Republican's here in the US. After bearing the blunt of the responsibility for the economic mess here the Republicans seem quite comfortable in offering the same prescription for the economy that got us into this mess in the first place. Odd indeed!

POPSWhy Not Appoint Chris Dodd As Gift Czar? I was at Hillsdale College last week, and one of the young ladies said this would have been a totally cheesy present if you'd been given it by your boyfriend. Yet the government of the world's superpower thinks you need better "attention to detail" and an "eye on the ball" to ensure you don't give discount DVDs of E.T. and Lawrence Of Arabia to the head of government of your closest ally (and principal military partner in Afghanistan), especially when he has deteriorating eyesight and doesn't watch movies. That's not a "detail" — unless you're as narcissistically self-absorbed as the British now think the Obama crowd are.

POPSGordon Brown Has Been Given A Collection Of 25 Classic American Films On DVD The Prime Minister's reaction to getting DVDs is not known. :eek: Mr Brown is not noted for his love of cinema, although he once claimed on a trip to India that he was an admirer of Bollywood. As revealed by yesterday's Standard, the Browns showered gifts on the Obama children too, using the occasion to promote British exports. Sarah Brown gave Sasha and Malia Obama an outfit each from Topshop, which has just opened its first American store in New York. She also picked six children's books by British authors which are shortly to be published in America. In return, the Obamas gave the Browns two models of the presidential helicopter, Marine One, to take home to sons Fraser and John.

POPSDoes Obambi Like Britain Apparently when its going to visit the Queen. But that whole close ally who supported us in Iraq and Afghanistan is just so much dreck. And please take this bust of Churchill - the man who almost single-handedly stood up to Hitler and saved Western Civilization - back because it is taking up valuable space that we can use for Lenin and Marx.
