Newborn babies to get bar codes instead of handwritten name tags

From this moment on, newborn babies in the UK will be found with bar codes strapped around their ankles. The NHS hospital in Northamptonshire is the first hospital in Britain that has introduced this system. One might ask himself why? The answer to this is simple; newborn babies were often mixed up with each other due to the illegible handwriting of doctors. Awkward situations like these weren't however the only mistakes that were made. Scientists often faced problems when it came to deciphering handwriting, in which serious, and sometimes life threatening, consequences soon followed.

In my personal opinion I have to say that I'm frankly quite shocked to see that hospitals can make serious mistakes like this. Imagine for yourself that you would receive your baby, only to find out 10 or maybe even 20 years later that your child does not resemble you or your partner in any way at all... Therefor I think it's a hospitals responsibility to not severely mess up a matter so important as this one when it comes to one simple factor of someone's handwriting. Make them learn how to write clearly like the rest of us do or suffer the consequences, since I'm sure that no one would like to be victim of a doctors' unclear handwriting.

Nick Clegg seizes his moment in historic TV debate

A stunning and overwhelming victory has been achieved by the Liberal Democrats last night on ITV where party leader Nick Clegg managed to win 61% of the public votes within just minutes. Nick Clegg used a sly, yet effective strategy yesterday night where he did not support any of the arguments given by his rivals. Instead he sat on the background and mocked his two fellow politicians by using phrases as "these two" and “a slight danger of holier than thou”. Praising himself as the ‘grown up’. This had an overwhelming effect on yesterdays audience nationwide and has put the Liberal Democrats back in the race for Britain's next political election.

In my personal opinion I think that some very interesting things could happen when the Liberal Democrats party would actually turn out to be the biggest party in the UK. Because this has never every happened before, the UK can brace itself for a massive tidal wave of change that would effect every single citizen of the UK. The elections are however still far at bay and therefor it would therefor be blunt to brace yourself for the Liberal Democrats party. What will become of the UK? Only time will tell...
