Did they take the midnight train?

If you fancy foreign travel combined with a job in Goevrnment don't be fooled into thinking you need to get yourself into the Foreign Office. The place to be is the Department of Health. Between March and May this year, staff at the DoH have managed to visit 12 destinations outside the EU ranging from what looks like a tour of the USA, to some trips into Russia and beyond.

In fact some of the destinations are utterly bizarre. When you strip out the junkets to North America, Hong Kong and Singapore, you're left with trips to Georgia, Russia and Oman? I'm sure there is a perfectly simple explaination. After all, I imagine Russia and Georgia would be able to teach us masses about managing public healthcare given their glorious track record in it.

Frankly I'm surprised they've not been to Cuba. The Left always seem to bang on about how the healthcare is so great there that it cancels out the political oppression of the regime. Still the NHS is in the black apparently so they have a spare bit of cash for the travel right?

Socialists do not realise (or don't care, the fucking sponges) that non-jobs, endless meetings, the production of reports, visiting somewhere that you could just as easy read about becuase so many reports have been fucking written about it, none of this contributes to enlarging the economic pie that we all share. Actually, it's like cooking a pie with the oven door open: so much waste. Hee, I'm pleased with that analogy. I can so to bed now.
