Apologies for missing this last week but better late than never.

The latest YouTube sensation is binman from Loughborough, performing under the name MC NxtGen.

He has recorded a rap about the Government’s proposals for the NHS. “Andrew Lansley greedy! Andrew Lansley, t*****r!” runs the refrain over a sample from The House of the Rising Sun: “So the budget of the PCTs, he wants to hand to the GPs/ Oh please. Dumb geeks are gonna buy from any willing provider.”

The track has gone viral, with almost 120,000 hits in a week.
