Third camp physicians
I experienced not one, not two, but THREE consultants applauding vehemently when I mentioned the dreaded word "socialism" at a meeting with the Royal College of Physicians on the subject of co-payments last week. Does this suggest that instead of reading medical journals consultants are reading Capital and the New Left Review? Are we in a pre-revolutionary situation? Are we going to see the Countryside Alliance calling for workers control? Make haste comrades and don't stop until the pips squeak!

About Me
- Ian Gibson
- Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom
- I have been the MP for Norwich North since 1997. Before being an MP I was Dean of Biology at the University of East Anglia. My work in Parliament and in Norwich has primarily consisted of advocacy work and pushing the government to take more notice of the role that science plays (and can play) in our nation. My scientific background has meant that I have been involved in numerous groups and charities in Parliament. I am a member of the Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills committee and chair of tha all party group on cancer.
