Do the twist


The sign of a truly great orator is to lure the audience in then BAM-  deliver a twist that sets them all reeling. My assistants inform me that I do this all the time, but if I am to be entertained at dinner, I shall require companions of equivalent calibre.

Step forward the BBC debate on the NHS reforms. I look forward to a feast of both the body and the MIND!

Nautonier eases us in gently with some common or garden Common Sense.
"Yes indeed - very few understand that the NHS has always supported its own private sector on which both public & private interests are mutually dependent on each other. Best thing to do with the NHS is to gradually improve it over time using total quality initiatives and to ration accces to it for millions of illegal immigarnts/recent UK citizens as requiring them to buy a private health policy"
BAM! See what they did there? Right at the end. I put it in Italic so you wouldn’t miss it. The structure is Sensible > Sensible > Sensible > BAM it’s down to immigrants and health should be rationed. I shall certainly be advising the next Rwandan rape victim I come across that they may see the doctor ONCE and no more until they  sign up with BUPA.

Here’s another:
"Another example of all three of the main parties dancing on the head of the centre-ground pin. Makes you long for good old-fashioned ideology.

Too much timidity from all of them. Offer us a stark choice and let the people decide Bass_Man"
Hmm. A bit flowery, poetic if you will, analysis of a thousand camels dancing on the head of a pin or somesuch- all the better to let you know that the choice is THIS


OR THIS!

SAY NO TO THE CENTRE GROUND!

BOOM!

Southern123 agrees with Bass_man
"Bassman #3 - never a truer word speokn (though I would put all the parties left of centre actually with the Tories bizarrely left of Blue Labour. No real sensible discussion because everyone is scared of frightening the horses."
I wish I knew what he meant.
