Talk about getting something wrong,
http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=3...
Here is the article now it has been edited to fix the major problem they had put in there amongst the detritus of paragraphs, claiming at one point that a group of NHS thugs decides who lives and who dies, comes a legendary statement.
Here is what it originally said
1. Stephen Hawking is British and lives in the UK.
2. Stephen Hawking is British and lives in the UK.
I appreciate that this is really only one point, but it is such a big one that it was worth mentioning twice. As one internet wag put it, "Well, they probably couldn't tell he was British from his accent!"
Honestly? They have edited it now, to try and make themselves look less dull with the statement at the top of that link

“People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.”
For those people who live on the far side of the moon, or the US, there are a couple of mistakes in that comment. Essentially:1. Stephen Hawking is British and lives in the UK.
2. Stephen Hawking is British and lives in the UK.

Editor's Note: This version corrects the original editorial which implied that physicist Stephen Hawking, a professor at the University of Cambridge, did not live in the UK.
Slightly off topic; I was in John Lewis earlier this year looking at digi TV's and got wacked in the back of my shin, right by the tendons, it bloody hurt.
Spun round and you guessed it bloody Hawkings!
He looked at me like it was my fault...actually that's what he looks like all the time come to think of it.

Wait so when we was saying that he was happy with the care he received yesterday and thanked the NHS for allowing him to live his life they were putting words into his robot mouth?
We might b
h about the NHS but it is our NHS and we are British so we can bh about it all we want but you yanks can go get fked and come back when you care for people who are not rich... which will be never... wkers.

How can a "newspaper" make such a massive fk up though and try and cover there tracks, as if to say "yeah we werent wrong, honestly, we just errr typed it wrong"
To quote again a same paragraph
k up, but what about the fact he is British, and that you have edited the comment relating to your fk up out completely
Horrible thing is I suppose this isnt really a tabloid paper as such, its for investors and businessmen and they are reading this st, and probably believing it

Sorry to the Americans on here, not meaning to bash your country, but I know too many Americans that have told me their own stories of trying to find the cash for procedures (latest is one friend who had to find $6000 for a gallbladder removal, husband doesn't get health insurance through work).

How much is it for healthcare in America? I guess it is quite dependant on each individual thinking about it?Sorry to the Americans on here, not meaning to bash your country, but I know too many Americans that have told me their own stories of trying to find the cash for procedures (latest is one friend who had to find $6000 for a gallbladder removal, husband doesn't get health insurance through work).
HNS costs £100b a year (figure plucked from internet), 60m people, suggests that each of us is paying £1k a year. Obviously my calculation has no founding in the real world (there aren't 60m paying NI), but it just goes to show!!
