I do hope it isn't on the NHS. It is exactly the sort of elective surgery which should certainly be private. That said, he is a Labour leader - squandering other people's hard earned tax money without a second thought should come naturally to him.

I agree with you about Cameron though. His pandering to the left on so many issues, have dented him. He should have detached us from the European Court of Human Rights, vetoed all EU budget increases, and not given hundreds of millions of aid money to be funnelled off by Pakistani extremists. He wants to be liked by the Notting Hill Guardian set for some unknown reason, instead of being respected by the public.

None of that changes the fact that Red Ed is a loser though. His nose job won't change that either.

GO has made himself far more appealing to voters in the last year. This time last year, he was being written off. Now, he is seen as our economic saviour.

I seriously doubt it is on the NHS, and at least he's trying to make himself more appealing to voters, whereas DC and GO cant really do a thing!

The NHS is being rationed by NICE.

Priorities have to be set. If it is purely for "cosmetic" reasons (as in the case of Red Ed) then it should not go ahead, even for children. If it is the difference between being able to talk and not being able to talk, then of course it should go ahead - but no, operations just to make people sound/look/smell better should not be provided on the NHS.

As much as I hate to say it - it's a good idea.

Should all the children who have adenoid ops have to go private as well?
