40- What is it with the current crop of politicians? Why can't they just get the out of my life unless I endanger others or cause a nuisance.
The latest wheeze by Alan Johnston, the Health Secretary (where do they find enough morons to run this portfolio?) is to give every pregnant woman £120 IN THE HOPE that they will spend it on fresh fruit and veg. Applying the "Onlyforfun Reasonableness Test" I find a problem! Those that would buy fruit and veg anyway, will get £120 to put towards their increasing road tax and those who wouldn't are mor elikely to spend it on booze, fags or even heroine than on decent food.
This from the hypocritical morons that slated DC for wanting to give married couples having children tax breaks! Now tax breaks could help keep families together as money is a particular lever of stress in married couples, especially with dwindling real wealth (see 39 - Inflation Again). And more children is good for the economy and the country, so a bribe to have more is justifiable and works well in other countries.
