It was appropriate that Charlie Brooker used food in his 10 O’Clock Live analogies about the potential effects of the NHS reform bill.
To start with he compared the (financial) choice between an anaesthetic crafted by Heston Blumenthal and the NHS Value version – a can of lager and a stick to bite down on.
He then had a moan over how there was already too much choice in life, and gave the example of around 20 different variations of weetabix, when all he wanted to do was eat some breakfast.
While the second joke was just amusing, the first was both funny and thought-provoking.
