quote:

Health secretary Jeremy Hunt has been criticised for ‘hiding from the public’ on a visit to Dorset hospitals ahead of a controversial decision to shake-up health services in the county.

Royal Bournemouth Hospital, Poole Hospital and the Department of Health all tweeted pictures of the cabinet minister on his visit to discuss the future of hospitals.

However members of the public were not told about the visit – and the media was not invited in a move critics have branded ‘appalling.’

The local council and MPS are trying to shut down Poole's A&E unit, leaving around 150,000 people with a 15+ minute ambulance drive, usually in appalling traffic, to an emergency room.

How about crazy/mini golf?

I'm pretty sure there's people who take that seriously, I remember reading about them in one of the Bollocks to Alton Towers books.

e: here's the British Minigolf Association, for example.

Mini golf is to golf what bell target is to target shooting. It's putting practice and someone included a windmill.

I'd probably put it in the category of pub sports. Like darts.

Independently cultivating personal relationships distracts the proletariat from the class struggle and may not produce ideologically suitable results. Consequently this abberant behaviour is regarded as a demented and subversive crime against the state perpetrated by wreckers and saboteurs.
In Comrade Corbyn's glorious socialist utopia all comrades will have ideologically suitable mandatory acquaintances and life partners assigned by the Friendship Ministry.

to be fair, they could have known he was there and still not found him. I have to do work in Poole hospital once a month and I always end up lost every single time, even when trying to do a mundane task such as "find the main reception"

So I've managed to demolish half of "Citizen Clem", a biography about "The Original Boy" Clement Atlee in a single day, and I'm looking for any good biographies of left leaning British politicians, or just any kind of left leaning interpretations of British history, or a decent history of the Labour Party or just a history of 20th century British politics or something.
