Tonight, I attended a candlelight vigil in protest of the government and their NHS Bill, which will privatise -and ruin- the greatest accomplishment of our nation.  Sadly, as our government cares not about the nation it supposedly serves, but rather likes to fill their own pockets, the Bill will no doubt be passed anyway.  Shame on them, and shame ( Read more... )
