Gary Webb, who wrote Dark Allaince that exposed the CIA funneling cocaine to the streets that led to the crack epidemic, was found dead, and his death ruled a suicide. Gary was really determined to die, he shot himself twice in the back of the head.

Dentistry was always the red-headed stepchild of the NHS. You only get limited free dentistry if you are under 16 or on benefits. Otherwise NHS patients have to pay for that limited range of treatments. Often dentists finagle it so they and the NHS end up paying more than it would cost a private patient (dentists are contractors to the NHS, not employees).

And the Tories have been systematically destroying the NHS over the last 13 years. As a result most dental surgeries have stopped taking new NHS patients.
