JFK was also given a clean bill of health to the public - then forty years later the results of his medical were released to the public and showed the cocktail of painkillers, antidepressants, stimulants and sleeping pills swimming around in his system.
There's been stuff omitted about all of the Presidents for years, I believe. Reagan had physical and mental issues that weren't released, while Obama's physician claimed that he'd given up smoking when he hadn't. There's no way that Trump's not on various drugs at his age and with his diet and lack of exercise.

Just hearing the tuition fees debate at the moment (again). I'm wondering why, even as an aside, as background, or just simply to provide better coverage why the subject of the size of the higher education sector is not discussed? Why is there not an ongoing debate on how many people with degrees we actually need? There are countless jobs where having a degree makes you not one jot better than someone without one BUT now there are so many graduates knocking around the degreee is used as a kind of paper sift. Take my example and (one of) the reasons I'm on about half what I was on before the financial crisis. I'm finding that a large proportion (maybe over 50%) of the jobs I'm well suited for, with my 20+ years of experience, I cannot even apply for because I don't have a degree. These are not jobs requiring a brain the size of a planet, these are often basic office jobs that I could do easily - and indeed jobs I've done in the past. So again, where is the debate about how sensible it is to have half the workforce with degrees? You could argue that this is even creating false optimism when certain other jobs that they then might not consider - which in many cases are better paid - are not considered.
I might be cynical but it cuts the youth unemployment figures down considerably if half of them spend between 3 and 5 years in further education and actually pay for it. If they were all on the jam roll it would put a greater burden on the Department of Stealth and Total Obscurity.
Or even why do you have to go to university. The assumption is that grads acquire the "body of knowledge" needed to go into : 1. industry in their chosen discipline 2. post-grad research. On #1, some say that uni is not always necessary, and that apprentices + technical college can often be better. My company accountant reckons some grads with accounting degrees are not all that, and they are sometimes not being taught remotely near the practical stuff they need for the day job. On the subject of fees, I am happy for any govt to fund free of charge the uni tuition for any disciplines there are deemed to be UK shortages in (similarly for apprentice schemes) , out of my tax. The numbers are obtainable (the number of people retiring/leaving a given field and the number of new blood needed annually to maintain the balance) . If you want to do a degree in media studies, then be prepared to have to pay the fees yourself.
An idea solution to tuition fees might be to abolish them and add 2% income tax on to every students tax code for life. It would cause a shortage of funds for the first few years then the extra tax could start funding the higher education system. This idea has been mooted before but would never work whilst we are members of the EU, because we would have to give foreign EU students the same deal. But once we have left the EU, an opportunity is there.
What pissed me off no end about paying tuition fees was how obvious it was where the money was going: my campus was subject to cut after cut, such as the campus bar being closed down during my second year (and since then the campus was sold off for housing) while the money was obviously being spent on the other two campuses, with one getting a brand spanking new library built while the other had its atrium redone seemingly every single year. On the plus side, said university doesn't hustle me for contributions anymore due to me bringing this up every time they tried...
I can remember applying for a couple of jobs a long while ago and being told I was overqualified.Really? I attended Parkhurst Secondary Modern school In Tottenham so I was no "Brains Trust!" Perhaps this was another way of telling me to bugger off!!!!? p.s. Everything I learn't in life came from Star Trek. No! Really!!!!
Meanwhile, on Planet Tory please log in to view this image Funnily enough, he deleted the tweet after Jeremy Corbyn's solicitor had a word with him.
The beloved Leiderene is on the case as well it seems..... subtle innuendos, suggesting Corbyn should be ‘open’ to the spy’s claims....... Tory HQ minions on overtime I imagine, stirring this one. Anything to deflect attention.
WTF did Corbyn know about anything during the 80s of any consequence ?? He was not in government, nor a senior opposition shadow MP.
