Nurse Hewitt's Coffin is Almost Nailed

As if we needed any proof that Gordon Brown will sack Patrica Hewitt on 27 June, Kevin Maguire gives us this gem of a quote from the Great Clunking Fist on Patricia's political skills.

I have to sit here while she loses me the next election.

Not for much longer, Gordon. Not for much longer.

The only reason for keeping the Mad Hagwit is that she will help Labour lose the next GE.

Presumably Gordon thinks he's perfectly capable of losing the election by himself.

So great Clunking Fist is in Cardiff on Saturday at least he comes to Wales .Blair was never keen
CHANGE POLICY - NOT JUST LEADER

Demonstration to "welcome" Gordon Brown to Cardiff and call for a change in UK foreign policy supported by anti-war campaigners from across Wales

Saturday 9 June Assemble 10.30 am

Cardiff International Arena (CIA)
Mary Ann Street (opposite the Cineworld Cinema)
Cardiff City Centre(5 mins walk from Queen Street)

Please forward this message to as many people as possible - as soon as possible!
Bring placards, banners, drums etc.!

In 2003, Gordon Brown, was asked how much he was prepared to spend waging war on Iraq. He replied - "As much as it takes!"

Gordon Brown will be speaking at a "hustings" meeting in Cardiff on Saturday. It is vital that there is a mega anti-war lobby calling for troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan, no attack on Iran & a break with US foreign policy.

Note: It is possible that the venue may change at short notice, we will try and keep people up to date, contact no. for demo, 07792720667

Lebanon was the straw that broke Blair's back and resulted in him not serving a full term in office. We now have the government on the defensive: the majority of the population is now anti-war - !

I will be sure to encourage all my friends to send spam and timewasting phone calls to the treacherous idiot organising this march. I consider it my patriotic duty.

Nails in the coffin aren't enough. We need a sharp stake through the heart, just to make sure.

It is high time for Hewitt to unfurl her umbrella and fly away. A spoonful of her sugar most certainly does not help the medicine go down in anything remotely resembling the most delightful way.

Meanwhile, it also is high time to re-examine the links between the old Paedophile Information Exchange and the old National Council of Civil Liberties in its Hatty and Patty days, now that Hatty is trying to become Deputy Leader of the Labour Party while Patty's responsibilities include every social worker in England.

Such a re-examination would lead deep into the lobby that has created the situation in which the only people (apart from the trophy of a faded celebrity like Jonathan King) who run any realistic risk of being prosecuted for sex with underage post-pubescent boys are Catholic priests, providing the excuse for the wholly mendacious depiction of the world's pre-eminent pro-life, pro-family, anti-capitalist, anti-Marxist, anti-war institution as involved in the rape of babies, and (as if it mattered) baby girls at that. In fact, the thoroughly reprehensible, and rightly criminal, behaviour in question is exactly the sort that the people who have run most things in this country for nearly forty years, and who now run pretty much everything, have been campaigning to make legally and socially acceptable throughout that period, conducting their own affairs (so to speak) exactly as if it already were.

Almost certainly, then, there will be no such re-examination. Will there?

I'm sure Hewitt's career going down would be most delightful to people who work in medicine.

Up until recently, I loved the story of Virginia Bottomley visiting various NHS locations and knowing from one nurse that all nurses at one particular location would not even shake her hand. A case of "bottoms up" for the wrong reason.

But God, Bottomley was hated.

What of Hewitt, now? And what of the NHS?

I read last night or this morning that there's a vote of no confidence for Liam Donaldson.

It's all utter, bloody chaos in the NHS. Luckily, those at the coal face, who do legitimately care, deliver beyond expectations and forget the politics when it comes to real care.

The staff still do the job they know, even if pressured by targets and stupid regimes.

At the coal face is where everyone should be, whatever walk of life.

Make dexisions from there, please.

Oh dear! Some of you people on this thread probably need to check your medications with your clinician. (David - you know know what I'm saying.)

Yep, Patsy has been rubbish but remember that NuLabour has been rubbish - especially on improving mental health provision for a lot of people. Virginia Bottomley was probably the only one of the Secretaries of State for Health in the last 15 years who really understood what was needed but she was never able to make the changes necessary because of the obsession with waiting times for surgery.

NuLab has still not sorted that out either despite the vast amounts of taxpayers' money that have been wasted. They will fail their own 18 week test in 2009 because there are not enough of the appropriately trained and experienced staff in place or the machines available to make this happen.

Sad but true. Keep taking the tablets!

Trumpeter, when discussing the end-game for Tony Blair on other threads, I forgot the crossroads!

That's why it hasn't worked!

Garlic, cross, silver bullet and I forgot the damn' crossroads!

OK, well, the crossroads of Tony's life are looming.

Good riddance.

By using the regulatory system to bankrupt British Nuclear, just so they could nationalise the remnants without payment, she forced British engineers abroad & produced the sale of their overseas assets (some of which like Westinghouse will be quoting to build our new reactors) at firesale prices. Dhe cost Britain's economy at least a generation of experience & many 10s of billions.
