In today's Cabinet
reshuffle, Prime Minister David Pillsbury has inexplicably sacked popular Minister of
Health Andrew Lansley. Under Mr Lansley's tenure the NHS has received repeated
hammer-blows to reduce its service, and drive sick people toward private health. Lansley is a strong supporter of
Neo-Darwinism, his views embraced
by the Tories as reflecting a sadly unavoidable need for cost-cutting to the bone.
Replacing Mr Lansley is former
Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, the man who colluded with Rupert
Murdoch's News Corporation when the company was trying to buy broadcaster BSkyB. Handily
for his new duties Hunt believes in the power of homeopathy, which has been
dismissed by a handful of prejudiced detractors as "unscientific
bollocks". In a statement, the minister denied his aim
is to reduce all NHS hospitals to portacabins staffed by children on work-experience schemes.
Meanwhile a spokesperson for
News Corp has refused to confirm viral rumours that Murdoch will now be moving into the
healthcare business. But thanks to BBC Radio 4's James Naughty, at least the
incoming Health Minister has a suitable nick-name to help him in learning parts
of the body.
