We should bear this in mind when we hear Labour politicians drone on about how much they love the NHS.

A bit like Iraq and Afghanistan then.
Like the Tories on expenses reform?
And when Conservative politicians talk about the debt crisis?
Surely the true quote of the day comes from Mr Iain Dale, talking about those poor, impoverished members of the Upper House:
"Last year, [their attendance allowance] would have trousered them £27,840. So unless you have private means, you have to have outside work"
and when the Tories talk about ... almost anything these days!
Similarly, as Goebbels explained, if you are to tell a whopper, you then have to keep on repeating it, until it assumes the mantle of respectability and honesty and all believe in it.
It is my assertion, that all the spin, lies and disinformation that emanate from NuLab and its affiliates have as their genesis, the works of Goebbels. The arch-master of propaganda, within which lies the art of spin-doctorism.
No wonder the subject of military appropriations, especially for the Army in Afghan, is constantly in the news. Thank you Sir Humphrey, for giving the lie to Gordo's constant Goebbelsisms as to how the Army has the kit it has asked for and will be provided for. Strains of the mendacity that Goebbels had to manipulate after the failure to take Moscow and the debacle of Stalingrad.
Of course Brown and Cameron think the NHS is wonderfull.
If either of them turned up at A&E on a Friday they would be seen instantly by the best doctor in the building.
It was not Sir Humphrey who said that, it was the cabinet secretary, Sir Arnold. Very true though.
