Curse you socialised healthcare!

[Undesired Walrus]

This morning I got a package through the post with 'NHS' on the top. Alarmed, I ripped it open, and was pleasently surprised to see that it was a free chlamydia testing kit:

I presume every other person under 25 in the borough, if not the city got this pack, regardless of income.

All I had to do was piss into a tube and send it off, without having to pay for a stamp! All the while I remembered a friend of mine who had to pay £200 for a STD check when they went private.

Thanks Socialised healthcare!

Don't forget to let us know if you've got it.

I actually don't plan on ever knowing Undesired Walrus well enough for this to ever be a concern of mine...

best just PM fagin...

I'm glad that was your thumb in the second picture, given the topic I didn't quite know what to expect as i scrolled down.....

Bloody socialised healthcare. Testing people even though they are healthy!

 

[Fishstick]

Great, now the government wants your pee too! That really pisses me off.

 

[Duffy Moon]

They're taking the piss.

Nationwide Drugtesting?

 

[Darat]

They not only want your urine they demanded my mother's ..er.. faeces under the guise of "Bowel Cancer Screening"!

I think we can all agree that this "testing kit" is just a cover for the Nazi-Commie-Atheist-Reptilian Shape Shifter-Masonic-Illuminati-Bilderburg-Satanist-Shadow Government to steal your DNA so they can make clones of you and build an army to take over the world.

Nationwide Drugtesting?

If it wasn't for the massive invasion of privacy it would take for me to pull the prank off, I would sooooo show up at UW's door with an "interpol badge", "test results", and an "arrest warrant".

You forgot to thank the scientists who invented it for you*.













* Which may or may not have involved government spending, itself, but that's not the point.

yeah and without government, they would sell alot lot less of those tests.
thus less PROFIT thus non socialised healthcare kills people and stopps medical research.

Oy! I resent the inclusion of Masonic in there!

 

[Fishstick]

The government is putting bureaucrats between you and your pee. WILL YOU LET THEM?!

 

[fitzgibbon]

Not to mention postal employees. To what level will socialised medicine not stoop?

 

[Fishstick]

I for one am appalled postal employees are handling and may or may not be sniffing my pee.

Awake up! The Masons are shape-shifting robots from the future who have travel back in time to kill John Conner! Just look at this website:

And if this doesn't convince you, then you're just a brainwashed sheeple!

What kind of government just assumes that everyone under 25 is a whore slut/cocksman with an STD? I guess they would also assume anyone under 25 is also on drugs, so they will test for that too. How much money is wasted testing people who don’t have this disease? Oh well, you guys like this. Whatever floats your boat.
