Small demo, massive impact

The Health Secretary has been confronted by angry protesters outside Downing Street claiming key organisations had been excluded from talks on the Government's controversial NHS reforms. A small group of around 40 incensed health professionals tried to prevent Andrew Lansley from entering, jostling and jeering as he tried to placate them. Speaking to one demonstrator, June Hautot, Mr Lansley said: "We are not privatising the NHS". "Don't you dare lie to me," she screamed back at him.

The Health Secretary was accused of talking ‘Codswallop’ in a confrontation with an angry pensioner outside Downing Street today. Arriving at a summit to rescue his NHS reforms, Andrew Lansley was berated by 75-year-old June Hautot for 'privatising' the health service. She jabbed her finger at him, shouting: 'Codswallop. Don’t lie to me, I’m sick of you.' The former Unison branch secretary refused to back down as Mr Lansley tried to get through the security gates at Downing Street. Mrs Hautot, who described Mr Lansley as ‘gutless’ and a ‘coward’ said: 'I’ve had enough of you.'

Ask him about the ex Bayer site at Hauxton, South Cambs

21.02.2012 07:02

Someone should ask this long streak of Tory piss about why a housing estate is being bullt on an ex Bayer site which is extremely well contaminated land near Cambridge. The government agencies allow a scam clear up opereration and then a spot of property development. Nice for the folks that will live on the site and whose kids will be exposed to high levels of Fuck knows what. Strange for a scumbag who is supposed to be preoccupied by peoples health. Not really another Bayer Bung from the WWII nazis takes care of the morality side of the plan.
