So Long, Tony

Tony Blair. You’ve been a great friend. We will miss your eloquence, your steadiness, and your accent. And, since this is your final full week as PM, I would be remiss if I didn’t include what we will miss most about Tony Blair.
We will miss your Rock-N-Roll.
Here is Tony B. doing The Clash: Should I stay or should I go.
So Long, Tony. We do wish you well.

The Association of British Insurers wants to use the results of genetic tests in order to increase premiums.
In its latest report, the GAIC wrote: “The ABI has said that it may come forward with applications covering specific predictive genes for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, but not until 2008 at the earliest.”
The Committee said the two genes that would form the basis of these applications are BRCA1 and BRCA2 for use with life, critical illness (CI) and income protection (IP) insurance. Female carriers of BRCA1 mutations have a lifetime risk of breast cancer exceeding 80% and of ovarian cancer approaching 60%.
GAIC approval only applies to high value policies because a moratorium exists on the use of genetic tests in all other policies. The moratorium covers IP policies up to a value of £30,000 a year, CI up to £300,000 and life insurance of £500,000. Above the ceilings of the moratorium, which will stand until November 2011, insurance companies are allowed to use the results of tests which have been approved by the Committee in setting premiums.
I believe that would be a disincentive to have genetic testing done.

How sad is it that when a politician “gets it” that it makes you get all teary eyed?

It seems an American was a hit with the Brits today.

I don’t think we’ve heard the last of TB, based on murmurings.
