For fans of socialized English medicine, this may be an eye-opener:<\/p>\n

Rod Stewart, singer of “Maggie Mae” and “Tonight’s the Night” (fond memories of a red-headed lady sergeant belting that one out at the NCO club at DLI!) has been trying to do something worthwhile for folks needing pricey scans at UK hospitals.<\/p>\n

In February, the singer-songwriter appeared at a mobile MRI scanning unit outside his local hospital Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow<\/a>, Essex after paying for a day of scans.<\/p>\n

However, he has now revealed he has been trying to do a similar thing elsewhere around the country but has been left frustrated with nobody else accepting his offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s like banging your head against a brick wall. I can\u2019t get any response.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are crying out for MRIs, I\u2019m willing to pay for them, 30 or 40 in a few hours, and I can\u2019t get anybody to do it for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephanie Lawton, chief operating officer at PAHT, said in February: \u201cIt has been fantastic to work with Sir Rod and we are grateful for his donation and support.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been able to scan between 20-25 additional patients today, which will help to reduce our waiting list by 10 per cent, and move those patients on to the next stage of their diagnosis and treatment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kudos to Mr. Stewart – no publicity, no album forthcoming – he’s just trying to help.\u00a0 And hospitals won’t respond!\u00a0 Also note – 20 or so scans was only 10% of the backlog at one<\/em> hospital. Think how many hospitals with MRI machines there are in the UK…\u00a0 and tell me again how our system should be like theirs.<\/p>\n

Note – the picture above is NOT Sir Rod…bonus points for anyone who can name who it is and where the shot comes from.<\/p>\n

Remember the folks in Germany who glue themselves to streets as part of their eco-protests? Seems the normally-polite Germans aren’t taking so kindly to it.<\/p>\n

Berlin\u2019s police department has faced accusations of using disproportionate violence after a video over the weekend showed officers deliberately twisting an activist\u2019s arm as they pulled him from the street.<\/p>\n

The footage showed that activist screaming in pain. Beforehand, an officer had warned him that he would feel pain \u201cfor days\u201d if he did not get off the road immediately.<\/p>\n

Letzte Generation\u2019s tactics, which include gluing themselves to streets and attacking famous works of art, have caused a divide in Germany\u2019s environmental movement.<\/p>\n

The Green party recently accused it of “elitism” for targeting people who have to drive to work because they cannot afford to live in the city centre.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Telegraph via Yahoo again<\/a><\/p>\n

Up to 800 eco-hippies descended on Berlin’s streets and blocked up to 40 streets. Bystanders were seen dragging protesters from the street and in at least one case, a driver not only rolled over a protester’s foot but got out of his car and berated the protester.\u00a0 Note on the pic above – wouldn’t a good quick yank free the hand more quickly, and be more educational?<\/p>\n
