Joined-up thinking on TB ad

This Government has a right hand that doesn't know what its left hand is doing. On Saturday last, The Daily Telegraph published the latest details on the increase in TB in this country.

The Health Protection Agency said the largest increase was in patients born outside the UK.

The Government tries to persuade everyone to trot along and have a flu jab (I remember the Star publishing a letter from a couple of people last year who said they had had the jab and immediately fell victim to flu!)

But the hilarious bit is that to publicise the flu jab, the Government, hiding under the NHS logo, has made a new ad that shows a bus full of people in which someone sneezes. We are presented with a vision of the most revolting flu gems etc flying around the bus.

Next thing we know, the Government is trying to persuade us to use public transport. Yeah right!
