BRITS ACTING LIKE THE DUTCH WITH FRENCH IMPLEMENTS?:

Doc's outrage on disabled
Outburst
(JOHN COLES, 9/24/05, Daily Sun)

A RETIRED GP sparked fury yesterday by saying disabled kids should be guillotined to save cash.

The outburst by Owen Lister, 79, a Tory councillor and deputy mayor, came in a council meeting over funding to care for such youngsters.

Mr Lister said it was too expensive to look after severely disabled children — and the money should be used elsewhere.

More fodder for OJ's argument that New Labour is the now conservative party. If only it survives Blair.

Bless the Brits for this at least, they still produce these spectacularly cranky old men. Not to imply that this one isn't a whackjob.
