Looks Like Boris Had a Point...

Sarah McCarthy-Fry is a Labour MP I had never heard of until this week. She represents Portsmouth North. She doesn't really like Boris. Click HERE to read what she's said, and what she ought to have said...

Three times is pretty habitual (plus all the unreported asides and sniggers). There is a pattern. The MP for Henley may be frightfully amusing but he is also a monstering old Etonian bullshitting bollinger bullingdon b........

Any commercial company which used misleading [unemployment] statistics as Sarah McCarthy-Fry does would be prosecuted under the Trading Standards legislation.

My cousin in Portsmouth says Ms Mclaughlin's talking rubbish. All nulab are interested in is smash and grab raids on ordinary people's hard earned pay and savings - for their benefit, not ours.

My cousin's elderly friend is a good example of the disastrous effect of nulab's policies. Though his mobility wasn't as good as it was, he could manage to get around on an electric scooter. Riding around Portsmouth front was his great joy of his life - all the poor old bloke had in life.

Problem was, this Portsmouth pensioner owned his house. So what did nulab do? They put him into care and forced him to sell off his house to pay for this. He was stuck at the top of a 'care home' built in a several storey house without a lift.

No one will help the old man downstairs, so he spends all day sharing a top floor room with another old man who is severely mentally handicapped and who does nothing but make odd noises.

My cousin says that he and all of his elderly friends in Portsmouth live fear of the same thing happening to them. If that's an example of what Portsmouth nulab do for people, my cousin says, you can stick it.

Hat Tip due to Ralph? - Not least in view of his having posted this at 4am.

Peter, I linked to his piece for God's sake!!!

Iain, sorry it's just me being thick - although Ralph's blog, unlike certain others, is so low profile, I didn't recognise it as such.

*MY* sister in Portsmouth, who's as real as your cousin, says Boris is a figure of hate.

"Sarah McCarthy-Fry is a Labour MP I had never heard of until this week"

You should have kept it that way...

An unimpressive lady, desperately trying to be an MP, and not doing very well.

a bit like Blears then.

Whatever she says doesn't change the fact that Portsmouth is a dump. Boris was right in that respect.

Instead of 'nulab' perhaps your cousin should be blaming the Lib Dem controlled council?

Zurich Insurance - one of the major employers in the City is moving out of Portsmouth losing several thousand jobs - to an industrial estate north of the City near the motorway.

You can blame the Labour council for that.

What a puzzle you are Ms McCarthy-Fry. You keep stum about nulab's lying Chancellor and Prime Minister, applaud while they destroy our country, erode our democracy, freedom and civil liberties - yet scream your head off when Boris Johnson tells the truth, albeit a bit indiscreetly.

How convenient for you that you have such a selective sense of outrage.

Why would he do that when the snatch and grab of sick and elderly people's homes is a policy devised by nulab? Did you not see the televised interview where Minister Liam Byrne defended this shameful policy?

It's nulab who have turned the sick and elderly of England into second class citizens and it's nulab who dictate that they should have substandard care.

Ever heard of the Velcade Three? They were denied cancer treatment simply because they live in England. Had they lived in Scotland, where there are exemplary standards of health care and care for elderly people courtesy of nulab's disproportionate funding allocation of England's taxes, they would have received treatment.

This policy has now been reversed, thank goodness, though only because nulab became petrified of electoral backlash - and shamefully too late for many of England's cancer sufferers.
