No problem Keith, I've always admired the triballists on both sides of the divide for their unswerving allegiance to the cause. I've never understood it, the monkey in a rosette voters are the ruination of the country, but thats another debate.
Its not just you and the reds Keith, the blues are as bad, you all spend your time hah booing the others without offering an alternative.

The point is Keith there are absolutely no circumstances where you would vote anything but labour.

The NHS has just saved my life
" The NHS just saved my life. With no prior symptoms, On 18 December I suffered a minor heart attack. Three hospitals, three ambulance transfers, upwards of 50 dedicated professionals and nine days later I had a world-class triple bypass to remedy a previously undetected life-threatening condition. I was kept informed throughout of what was happening and why, with clarity and sensitivity. At all times I was treated with unfailing care and concern - as a patient and a person. When I thanked one of the surgeons, he smiled and said it was a team effort, and that the contribution of nursing and support staff was an equally important part of the process. I witnessed a level of teamwork, personal commitment, discipline and professionalism by staff at all levels that I never encountered in 20 years in industry.
In most countries I would be dead, bankrupt or dangerously risking a major heart-damaging second attack while I waited for surgery. Nightmares like Mid Staffs (Editorial, 6 March) are not caused by anything arising from within the value-structure of medicine or the NHS. They are caused by the simplistic misapplication of long-discredited business techniques by politicians and civil servants who have never run anything except a doubtful argument. The corporate vultures are circling the NHS, scenting red-blooded profit. Our naive politicians are easy prey for the snake-oil salesmen. Hospitals are not businesses. Patients are not customers. But my albeit anecdotal, experience shows that the NHS already has a level of disciplined, rigorous, empathic delivery of a life and death service that would be the envy of any private enterprise. Politicians should listen to the professionals who have dedicated their lives to the values of the NHS. Then shut up and find the money to save it.

Mr Hunt, the Health Secretary, should "clarify" claims that expenditure on the NHS had risen in "real terms" every year under
the Coalition, the UK Statistics Authority said.
The chairman of the authority, Andrew Dilnot, issued the rebuke after upholding a complaint by Labour about statements by the
Prime Minister and other senior Tories.
Labour demanded that Mr Cameron correct his "misleading boasts" about protecting NHS resources.
Mr Dilnot's letter will be a blow to Mr Cameron, who repeatedly promised to protect the NHS in the run up to the last general
election and in numerous public statements since.
The health service is seen as one of the Conservatives' most vulnerable policies after sweeping reforms to the structure of the
NHS met with widespread opposition from medical professionals.
The reforms eventually became law earlier this year, but only after a bruising fight that forced an unprecedented "pause" in the
progress of the Bill through Parliament.

Perhaps you ought to, Keith. Read all the differing views and then make up your own mind. But don't trust newspapers to be honest with the facts.

Is that why you chucked in being a councillor, Keith? 25 years of not knowing if people were being honest or not must have been something of a strain.
