NHS 0, Labour 2
Ooh, matron!
Hot on the heels of the Labour Party’s distasteful attempt to scare cancer sufferers into voting for them comes the news that somehow, by pure coincidence, the Labour Party has managed to source a list of ostensibly private work email addresses for NHS staff in an attempt to coerce them into signing a petition saying that the Labour Party is the only party that can be trusted with the NHS.
One of those who received the latest communication, a doctor, has complained that senior Labour figures are trying to pressure her into publicly backing the party against her will.
The petition that the doctor was being asked to sign, which is likely to have been forwarded to a newspaper, committed members of the health service to explicitly backing Labour.
It’s remarkable, isn’t it, that Labour seems to have such remarkably good access to data about the NHS, both staff and patients. I’m sure that there is no chance whatsoever that someone inside the NHS is leaking data to the Labour Party so that they can abuse it for cheap electoral gain. Not even the data of people who have suffered misery from cancer. I’m also quite sure that there’s no risk of you receiving a letter saying something like “wouldn’t it be terrible if your visit to the STI clinic was accidentally released into the public domain, something that will not happen if you vote Labour, but might if you vote Tory, get my drift?”
I can’t help feeling that I might be better off if the NHS didn’t know who I was.

I am more worried about Vet’s bills and their records being digitised and made confidential.

The NHS; a protection racket that aggrandises anal retentive academic over achievers – heard that somewhere, sounds about right to me.
Why would an overpaid GP not support the party that engineered a massive increase in salary and pension for less hours? I would…

NHS 0, Labour 3
£500,000 spent on a brand spanking new NHS hospital in Edgbaston Birmingham…. and who gets first use? The bloody Labour Party for the launch of their next work of fiction. A tome so rich in content that the news programs spent all day analysing its ‘painting-by-numbers’ inspired front cover.
I hope Gordon has ordered a ‘deep cleanse’ of the establishment before its handed over to the patients? Well, those who haven’t passed away while waiting for the circus to move on.
But why the hospital? I know why they were in Edgbaston – Jus’appens to be one of Labour’s most marginal constituencies. But the hospital? Is it permissible to for a public building to be used for a political function like this? Aren’t there rules against this sort of thing?

Yes, John Pickworth, there are rules prohibiting the use of public buildings for political purposes but they are supposed to be enforced by civil servants ; think about the Labour Party’s commitment to the huge and growing state and then guess where their loyalty lies.

Indeed, so why are any of these PPC,s allowed to use the publicly owned houses pf parliament. The institution is in dissolution
If it is the case, then any member of the public who wishes to stand for parliament must have the same access in the interest of democracy you understand. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I made anti-Labour comments such as, “there are corrupt MP’s”, “Labour are importing workers from India to displace British workers”, and “the economy is in a dire state and there will have to be massive cuts in public spending to put thing right”, Labour supporting doctors decided that I was delusional and should be locked up and never let out.
Now that I’ve been released by a tribunal chaired by the wife of a Labour MP and everything I said has been shown to be true one would believe that ‘doctor’ Ferdinand Jonsson and East London NHS trust chaired by Robert Dolan have a case of kidnap, false and malicious diagnosis, and unlawful detention to answer. However, I cannot get any support for my case.

Civil Servant “No”That should have been the end of the matter.

The irony is that they may well have purchased the data from a Tory:

They may not, of course.
