UK Election: Swinging Sadomasochist Vote Didn’t Count
- "What are the lessons of the Brutish elections? Well, basically, the Brutes are not overly into spanking, as our

outfit," Sister Malaria, Acting Corrective Party spokesnun opined today. See... Brutish Elections And Hairstyle Issues!!! [1]
Dayna Berghan: Why No Tampon Subsidy?
- I have a small conspiracy theory to offer. The state does not recognise the real need for subsidised sanity products,
as there is no later burden for the state to pick up. One defence of the state as there are many products available for
female sanitary requirements. The counter argument is that some pharmaceuticals are subsidised by the state, why not
sanitary items? See... Dayna Berghan: The State Won't Pay For Tampons [1]
