British National Health Service to cancer patients, "Drop Dead!" Life prolonging cancer drugs to be banned because they cost too much
Perhaps all three? Jules Crittenden aks Wicked, Childish Or Dim? They did it because they could. In the most juvenile way possible, they wanted to show they're in charge, things are different, they have other priorities, and besides, Britain needs to be punished for its Bush enablance.
