There are three areas of our society that cause great concern for many people at the moment
Education
Law and Order
Healthcare
If you are interested in these topics, then you can spend your money on a newspaper and read articles by journalists with no experience of the above professions and absolutely no guarantee that what they have vaguely researched (or overheard in the pub) bears the slightest resemblance to the truth. If you do not agree with what you read then you can write a letter to the paper and never hear any more.
Alternatively you can check out the views of those who have worked in these areas and equally importantly, you can comment on our posts and tell us if you think we are talking rubbish.
Law and Order is a thing of the past in many parts of the UK and who better than PC David Copperfield to bring us news of the latest plans to punish the law abiding citizens whilst ensuring that criminals are kept safe on the streets.
Healthcare is the third great fiasco and Dr Crippen can be relied on to keep us up to date with the latest medical madness. Do email him if you are feeling at all unwell, or if you have had too much to drink and require an ambulance to take you home.
I like to think of us standing together, defending the truth against those who would like to keep it hidden. We are like the three pronged trident carried by that Greek God who lived under the sea (Spongebob I think he was called)

Brilliant post Frank. I've almost given up reading newspapers these days. If you want celebrity tittle tattle, uninformed drivel and constant speculation about who's taking over from Bliar - plus lots of columns by posh women telling us how hard it is only having four nannies and the fair trade coffee delivery's late and Hugo's got A* in his GCSE maths aged two - great.
Bit not for me.
You absolutely have to mention http://thelawwestofealingbroadway.blogspot.com/
Now called the Magistrates blog. This is just brilliant, I've learnt so much from reading it.
At danger of stating the obvious, every single one of these areas is, in effect, a nationalised industry.
Aren't you surprised...
