    Stafford: The Hospital that didn't care - BBC

    Started by MindTheGap +,

    Just a documentary on the Stafford scandal http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01qnlc9/The_Hospital_That_Didnt_Care/ Unsure if it's been posted elsewhere but worth a watch, systemic failures in finance and care that ultimately left people dead - why was the NHS allowed to get into this state? (Not an NHS bashing thread either, I love the NHS)

    BBC; New drug bill 'to legalise ecstasy' in Colombia

    Started by ted123,

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-21254907 Is this really the way forward to prevent drug use and trafficking? Seems like this approach requires minimal effort and absolutely no stance against it.
