THERE have been times in the last eight years when it has seemed like Michael Moore was the only opposition to the madness of King George Bush.

Farenheit 911 and Bowling for Columbine tore holes in the right wing policies of the war on terror and gun control. But still there are people who think that Oscar-winner Moore is the loony in the house.

Well after watching Michael's latest offering, Sicko, all I can say is I hope they have adequate health insurance, and even if they do I hope they never get sick. If they do, they better hope they are on holiday abroad, because one thing is for sure: the USA is the worst place to get sick in the whole world.

NHS I salute you.
