Sometimes I like to read the news to give my mind a quick break from whatever it is I'm doing. I often find it therapeutic, and it sometimes doubles as a reality check, letting me know that however big I think my problems are, there are people with bigger problems.
Other times, it has the opposite effect, turning me into the ranty equivalent of the Hulk, in that I don't go green and smash things, but I do rant long and loudly to anyone who has the misfortune to be within earshot when I initially harrumph and is daft enough to ask what I'm harrumphing about.
This is one of those weeks.
So far this week there's been the decision to scrap Co-Proxamol and the Incapacity Benefit Overhaul, both of which I have experience of and very strong opinions about.
Unfortunately (or possibly fortunately for you, dear reader), I don't have the time to do either of these rants justice (or make them coherent) at the moment.
But both issues are bugging me to a quite serious degree, and I had to do something before the veins in my forehead burst, and this was the next best thing.
RANT RANT RANT!!!

But... but... we don't even know if you like|hate Co-Proxamol|Incapacity Benefit :)
Since when has a potential lack of coherence been a barrier to a good rant? And given that it has been mathematically proven that anyone can fit an infinite amount of ranting into a finite time period, your excuses don't wash with us, missy. So I'm sure you'll have a good rant. We'd just like you to do it here . . .
You rant ever so nicely.
