With Mr Brown giving £105.6 billion to the ailing NHS, has he stopped to think that the majority of this money will siphoned off by the multinational pharmaceutical companies and their shareholders who have been holding hospitals, doctors, patients and the likes of us to ransom worldwide for decades?

He and the NHS would have gained more credit if he had put a price embargo on these companies.

However, we cannot all be blessed with common sense, can we?
