Conservative Morality wrote:By accepting yourself and who you are. Accept violence. Accept aggression. Accept dominance. Not as a man, but as a human. Accept conflict, and find a place for it in life. Neither deny nor revel in it. Revel in one thing and one thing only: humanity. What higher goal is there, after all? Embrace who you are, what you are, and what you can be. Throw off the shackles of shame, refuse self-loathing, refuse misandry, refuse misogyny, refuse misanthropy, instead, love what you are. Love mankind, love man and woman, and love yourself.

The worst thing about it, they say, is that you have to register to turn him off.

Personally, i'd like Boris Johnson.

Can you truly not turn it off, I could almost understand if it was the only channel available if you turned the TV on, but if the TV is always on it's just insane. Especially considering that the Tory NHS is meant to be about cutting inefficiency

You can turn the television so it faces away from you, but you cannot turn it off without paying. If you pay, then Lansley will be removed.
Your options are therefore to turn the screen away and not watch television, to pay to watch television, or to watch Andrew Lansley.
Personally, I vote for option 1.

So, cutting inefficiencies to streamline the NHS means wasting huge amounts of power driving patients insane.
Someone needs to write a Tory-English dictionary

Playing devil's advocate, rather than expressing my own views, one would think that the department of health might argue that this is a surefire revenue raiser that justifies the power wasted.
After all, if we assume that the majority of patients are sane, they would surely choose to regularly pay to keep Lansley turned off than be driven insane by the Lansley Loop.

The people I feel sorry for are those who work on the wards and have no choice but to watch him - my girlfriend, for one (she's a ward clerk at one of the Aberdonian hospitals).
