LibDem peers have signalled an end to their resistence to Andrew Lansley's NHS bill after getting waht they consider a "key" concession from the Minister. We asked a LibDem peer, who for obvious reasons wishes to remain anonymous, for his comments; "The Minister for Health has given way on a matter which consider to be of great importance - he has conceeded that the Minister will remain responsible for the running of the NHS rather than foist it off onto a quango. This is of great significane since, in our opinion, it gives the LibDems an alibi as we stand by and watch the Tories flog off healthcare to various scumbags, crooks and charlatans. We can all now breath a sigh of relief after disharging our responsibilities to the sick and useless without appearing, in our judgement, to betray our principles - what few we have left." Andrew Lansley was besides himself with joy; "This is a great day for democracy - at least for those who still have access to it. Now we can get on and improve the NHS by sacking as many nursing staff and doctors as possible and getting back to first principles in healthcare - taking advantage of the weak, sick and helpless, those that can afford it at any rate."
