It says in the Torygraph that University College Hospital (I presume that’s the London thingy) is to spend £180,000 on four new sets of uniforms for 2,500 staff, to “halp make patients feel safer”. That sounds to me like what people call “security-theatre”, a concept, which is clearly not to be confused with “operating theatre”, which is an actual object.

As war should begin at home like charity, and should not be exported until absolutely necessary and also until all enemies at home – and there are many in Britain today – have been “taken care of”, I think that a People’s English Revolutionary-Liberalist-Party’s first administration’s first War-Secretary should investigate a few exciting little cases of GramscoFabiaNazism like this one. Since taxpayers will already have paid for these uniforms, and they will be thus worn and unsaleable, then the “Hospital Trust’s Directors” (or whoever the War-Secretariat’s “Executive Officers” find in the buildings, when they enter unannounced one day) will be invited to pay for an equivalent number of ECG machines, patient-friendly orthpedic matresses, clinical-pathologists’ salaries, and the like.

I note that the cost of an ecg machine here is US$ 1,995.  There may be cheaper and better ones but I found that one. That’s without the monitor scope but we can get him to pay for that too. Each “director” will be “invited” under supervision, (in front of witnesses, to agree that there was no physical coercion or torture) to pay for 40 of these on line, which is about £50,000. If he quibbles, then he might be “invited” to pay for the monitor scopes. There are some nice digital flat ones with 8-inch screens, made in China, for under £500 each, so he’d be “agreeing” to pay another £20,000.

When it comes to matresses, the buggers will be shipped off up to “Beds-‘r-Us” in an industrial estate in Preston (they’ll like that, I know the very one to take them to) and get a few thousand of those. They can then give some to St Mary’s in Paddington up the road from them. The Executive Branch will have taken the St Mary’s “directors” to other interesting places where they can “offer to pay for” useful things.

I’m getting occasionally fed up with Libertarians who swim about in think tanks. Sorry. It’s nice sometimes to wave a hand, and seem to make all well. If enough people did it, the GramscoFabiaNazis might start to jitter a little bit, as opposed to not at all.
