Ah, but just think how good that Mars Bar must taste to the starving who've spent the last couple of years getting excited at the promise of food, only to have every promise quietly withdrawn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Not sure if this is the right thread, and maybe the blood scandal needs its own, but I saw Andy Burnham on BBC breakfast this morning trying to throw everyone else under the bus, while also constantly saying he hadn’t been able to do anything about it when he was health secretary because he “was so busy with the Hillsborough enquiry”. He was also demanding criminal charges for people in the department of health for the cover up, yet there was no challenge along the lines of “Which department were you in charge of, Andy?” I don’t get why this guy is so highly thought of, he’s a complete fucking charlatan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The infected blood scandal covered the 70s to the 90s. Absolutely bizarre to try and link Burnham to the scandal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did he do about this known injustice? Or perhaps he was so useless that he wasn't even aware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDONisSheep Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 In fairness to Andy Burnham, he may well not have known about the cover-up/scandal, when he was Health Secretary. He has been pretty vocal about it through the years though, and called for an independent inquiry many moons ago. Yours aDONis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch his interview this morning on BBC Breakfast, he clearly states that the Archer Inquiry findings were passed on to him as he took over as Health Secretary. He met with some of the campaigners at that time, but, as he says in the interview, he was “so focused on Hillsborough” that he didn’t do anything about it while he was Health Secretary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention how the Stalinists were going to purge the moderates once Corbyn was appointed.

With Starmer I’d say the far-right are a far better bet. I’d imagine the Labour Friends of Israel are already getting themselves organised to ensure he doesn’t deviate from Sunak’s position on Gaza. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because I'm seriously entertaining voting Labour, although I probably would if I still resided in Edinburgh South West just to be rid of Cherry, but to see if my suspicions are correct and we're about to be governed by the second-furthest Right "Tory" government in UK parliamentary history.

Let's see what his alternative commitment looks like. Also, Starmer has extensive form for making pledges he then backs out of. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
