Mind The Gap!

Tell me this is a fucking joke, please.  

If it's not then I'm going to take some close up photos of my gnashers and post them here with a PayPal button. If she gets £800 I should be well on course for several thousand quid!

I really haven't been so scared and desolate in a long time. I can't afford £800 for specialist root canal treatment to remove an infection which is eating away at my jawbone. Because it's the second time around it only has a 60-70% chance of success so there's another huge risk that should that not work I'll have to fork our thousands of pounds to have a replacement tooth fitted, should I choose not to have a large gap in my mouth like some extra in Eastenders.

I've written to the Health Secretary and copied in the Prime Minister and my MP (who is a good bloke who actually cares about his constituents which is probably why the Tory party were allegedly trying to replace him) because they really should know what a fucking mess they've made of this country and our health services. They have provided a breeding ground for lazy, stupid gangs of knuckle scrapping fools who are, day by day, proving Darwin wrong.
Scared and desolate at the thought of losing a tooth. Baby, you ain't lived yet, obviously. Jeez!

(And just for the record, when exactly was the last time you were "scared and desolate". Did you ladder your tights or something?)

NB: The NHS charge for root canal treatment is a maximum of £44.60  Mummy and Daddy DID register you with an NHS dentist, didn't they? An infected jawbone is classed as a dental emergency and would be treated at any NHS dental hospital. Full dental implantation of a single tooth is around £1,200 with a private dentist. Root canal work is available privately from around £180. Where does the £800/£Thousands comes from?

Funny isn't it? When Jo Brand was doing the same for New Labour, Mounsey said it was 'one mediocrity begging for money on behalf of another mediocrity'. His is apparently an altogether more noble form of mooching.
